Im still pretty new to MPC coming from Ableton live. Im trying to sample a synth to a keygroup.

The whole process for multisampling the synth works fine and i end up with a keygroup of samples BUT it does not trigger consistently when using a usb midi keyboard or with the pads. In the same project if i have another purchased instrument keygroup, it triggers fine from my midi keyboard or the pads.

to me it seems like a bug. ive tried it twice now and the same thing happens. Im also noticing that if I wait a while the pads start to work for triggering the keygroup but if i press one key on the midi keyboard, the pads stop working consistently and i get all sorts of weird non-triggers. this is only on an autosampled keygroup.

any advice on a setting I may not be using properly? or should I submit a bug report?
