Are you guys familiar with adjusting the up and down metronome sounds. I get thrown off by the hard click being on the 1 and the softer note being on the 3. I want the harder click to fall off beat if that is even possible to adjust?
If not....should I try sampling it and then just try playing it myself?

Make any sense?

The metronome on MPC's in pretty garbage, it comes through a little weird, I understand what you mean but you better just get used to it or lay down a scratch hihat pattern to run too.

yeah man - even setting hi-hats to 200% volume still don't give me the subtleness i was looking for....better get out my screw driver and rubbing alcohol....time for a pad cleansing.

i think you just have to deal with it. step edit or use the fader with 'after' function with velocity...

Be gentle, remember, just a damp cloth with rubing alcohol, don;t sop it wet, and procede at your own risk! The pads are rubber so you can run them under the tap to wash them, just l;et them dry real well before putting them back, I use a hair dryer set to warm.
