MPC 3000 Processor....

Hello all.
Just curious to know if anyone has ever upgraded the seq. processor on the 3000, or knows if its even possible?

I noticed when doing lots of midi sequencing (running more than say 10 tracks of loops off another sampler, all triggered on the one) in song mode, after around 3 minutes or so, one of the loops will be a hair off then go back.

With single drum sounds its not that noticeable, but with full loops you notice when the trigger times suddenly are off or delayed.
Its really annoying.
Anyway, I believe this is caused by limitations in the processor (maybe I'm wrong), as stated on pages 222 and 223 in the MPC 3000 owners manual.

Anyone else ever run into this problem?

thats that magic mpc 3000 groove.....

MPC3000 was not designed for loops, but for single hits.

Loops are much harder to work with and is a reason why programs Recycle are very popular.

I don't think it's because your sample is a loop or a drum hit, but rather because there is a small delay like 1.5 ms between sounds played at the same position in the sequencer depending on the midi note number assignment of the key or pads. Sometimes it's noticable.., sometimes not, it depends on the sound itself. And i don't even speak about the fact that the mpc changes that "order" of sounds to be played first or next if the present track is the last one that had record/overdub mode engaged... Crazy machine!

how did you find a 10 year old thread on upgrading the 3000's processor?

I used the "go to page" function at the bottom of the page and type a random number while having my Lavazza coffee crema dolce that perfectly ends my breakfast every morning

And just post reguardless.... Awesome. And your gripe about the sequencer picking which sounds play is the nature of polyphony my friend.

To post regardless of what? I give an answer to why some sounds are delayed despite of being at the same position in the sequencer, what happens even with only two sounds being played, or midi events sent to external gear, mpc 3000 is supposed to have 32 simultaneous playback voices right? And i have no complaints about anything.
