grrr mpc 3k pad problem

one of my pads is triggering the one to the left of it, when its not suppost to be!
it still triggers itself, as well as the one beside it...


anyone know what might be causing this ?

dirty contacts? in the FAQ there should be something on opening it up n cleanign the pads.

sucks ass..
i use it every night and the last time i go to use it, its playin both pads

grrrr

yea that's what i don't like about the mpc60 and mpc3000s...tehy end up doing that:(

Does this happen in each of the selected pad banks

If it happens just in one pad bank then the problem is related to the "simul trigger" settings where one pad can be set to trigger another. Re-init parameters to fix this one and try creating a clean program from scratch.

If it happens in all banks then you have:

a) a failing pad sensor.
b) a faulty pad sensor board.
c) bad connection between the pad sensor and it's pad sensor board.

a) or c) above are highly possible.

Make sure the cables that link the sensors to the mpc are not in contact with anything. One of my pad was buggin and that was the problem. Used a little tape to keep the cable from being in contact with screws or anything

it just started working normally again, i didnt even get a chance to open her up, i was just gonna work around that pad.. but turns out its back to normal!

cant complain bout that i guess, good ol' technology
