I just got an MPC 3000 and am fooling around with sequencing external hardware. Basically, I have MIDI out from the 3000, going to MIDI in for a DSI Tempest. I'm using the 3000 to sequence the Tempest sounds.
The 3000 is doing some odd things. Before I even recording, as I hit pads that trigger sounds on the Tempest, they trigger at the normal 'played' velocities, and then they'll randomly drop in volume / velocity, and stay there as I hit the pad Then out of nowhere, they'll jump back up to normal. This seems to occur randomly on all pads
I tried recording a sequence in the MPC, and despite the sequencing being quantized, the MPC seems to drop beats here and there ans stutter...Is that normal?
Judging by how the Tempest lights up on these random quieter notes, it seems it's actually receiving random lower velocities. The pads light up dim, as they would if you were to tap them lightly
