MPC5000 reviews, bug reports and fellow user support on the most recent standalone, hardware MPC from Akai

Hello!

Maybe someone knows the answer or can verify this on his or her MPC5000.

I connected a Roland V-Synth to the MIDI-IN port on the MPC.

Now, when I play the keyboard and record some MIDI-information on the MPC and I view the recorded notes on the MPC they are all an octave lower than the keys I press on the V-Synth. So, I play C4, C5, C6 etc and the MPC displays them as C3, C4, C5.

Playback is ok however, the same pitch as I played them.

Anyone has a clue?

Thanks!

Pieter

Middle C isnt the same midi note number on all synths, sometimes its an octave up/down. Not sure if this applies to Roland synths though.
