MPC3000 will not read notes at a higher octave?

I am using a basic 61-key MIDI keyboard controller, but when I want to play a higher octave by changing the octave to 1 (or higher) and playing the highest key at C5, it doesn't want to read the notes into the MPC3000

when I play at a normal octave or a lower octave (-1, -2, -3) it's fine

but the higher octave I go (1, 2. 3) it doesn't want to read it

any help?

thank you

not sure if this will solve your problem but are you set on midi as opposed to drum? i know that if it is set to drum, your keyboard cant play all the midi notes.

yeah i just did this with my mpc. i was trying to play battery sounds from my keyboard but for some reason, it wouldn't play above c5. i changed it to midi and it worked...

Yup, it works, problem was I had it at Type: Drums, but I didn't have no internal sounds in my MPC3000

changed the it to Type: MIDI and it plays all high and low octaves on the keyboard

BIG THANKS!!!

glad i could help
