Hi,
I bought a MPC 500 four months ago, but didn't have the time to play around with it until the last couple of weeks. I'm a complete noob, but I'm reading through the manual and really want to learn how to properly use the MPC. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time following the manual since my MPC behaves strangely in some situations.
The first problem I'm experiencing is that the overdub seems broken. If I record a sequence that has a series of drum beats, for example, the overdub plays badly afterwards. This doesn't happen everytime I try to record something, but happens quite often. I uploaded a video on youtube that shows this problem:

The other issue I'm having is that while recording a performance, long samples keep cutting off. But when I press stop and play the performance, the samples play nicely:

Like I said, I'm a noob. I tried to reset the MPC 500 but that didn't solve the problem. Any help from you guys would be much appreciated.
