I don't understand why everyone is so enamored with syncing things together. If you're using programs on the 5000 set it up as a multi timbral module.

My MPC 2000XL is syncing great with Pro Tools right now(same ole OS 1.20).... MPC 5000 OS 2.0 is drifting on a few tracks while im tracking out with MIDI Beat Clock(when soloing different tracks, but its off from the sounds that are already recorded, and no its not Latency). Thats my particular issue, and what others have noticed that I have the 5000
What i dont get is, it never happened in the other 2 OS's, all of a sudden its very obvious
I tried to ignore it at first(cause I thought i wasnt doing something right), but people on here started commenting about it, and a friend of mine was tracking out while i was at his spot and he asked me if i had the same issue.

I.E. when i use the sliders or jogwheel to adjust start endpoints, many times (half the time or more) the results of what im doing don't show on the screen until a few seconds later, its not as smooth as it was before with 1.02.

Another quesiton....Is it off right from the start or 20 measures down the road does it start to get off. I mean there are lots of scenarios here. Are you using looping samples with edited start or end points, are you using patched phrases, are you looping the beat while it's recording or is it a linear sequence? I did a sequence for 8 minutes with a clave on 1/4 notes of 8 tracks and didn't see any problem. My point is it may not be a sync issue but maybe a sample loop issue.

If you haven't done so already (I didn't read the thread completely yet), please list the version of Pro Tools you are using, Pro Tools audio/midi interface, and platform (PC or Mac). Thanks. If this is a serious issue, we need to get it to Akai so they can address it.
