So I picked up this 500 real cheap from a shop in the UK
It came without RAM that wasn't stated, they clearly had no idea about the hardware to be honest.
I have a 128mb stick from a 1000 that I put in and it loaded fine and everything was fine.... until.
If I created a new program lets say for a sample I've loaded then it would cut out my drums or more specifically my snare and replace it with the sample. super janky shit I have no idea what the hell was going on. I've double and triple checked through all the settings and there was nothign to indicate I had changed the pad assignments.
However a workaround for this was just to do it all on one program which isn't ideal but I can still create simple beats which tbh is all the 500 is really capable of.
This is where the glitching starts, I can make a whole beat but every so often the audio starts glitching and clipping each other out and not playing over each other. To overcome this I just restart the machine and it works again for however long it does.
My question is what's causing this, I've ordered some new RAM I thought that might have been the issue so I'm waiting for that to arrive. I've cleaned the contacts on the ram slot as there was some purple looking pen where someone previous had marked it and some other scrawls where the ram would sit on the pcb.
I've seen others have this issue but there doesn't ever seem to be any outcome but I'm hoping someone can help me.
I'm running off power not batteries with the connector the store gave me so it could be the power source that is bugging it out but I imagine that's unlikely.
Thanks for any help in advance
