Alright, sorry to bother you with this. I honestly did check the manual before posting this so sorry I gotta waste some time over something so small. My note repeat. I cant figure it out. It doesnt just keep playing the notes it just does 2 then stops 1 then does 2. I dont have the little (3) button on. I cant figure out what I did. Its like tick tick blank tick tick blank tick tick blank. Sorry thanks in advance.

see if this is happening to you... try these steps so we can count the pads out

1.) When you first cut your MPC 5000 on, before it loads any sounds up, you go to Mode "Other" (PAD 9),
2.) And then you click on the PAD tab(F3)
3.) In the (PAD=) field, Does it already have a pad number posted above PAD 13

I have noticed that i have to cut my MPC on and off a couple of times, or sometimes wait to get this to stop switching numbers by itself... The Aftertouch field is moving back and forth automatically as well too

This may be a pad issue, but i dont think it is, because it only does this at start up, no matter what the MPC has been sitting for a while, whether at home in the A/C or at the Studio in the A/C, and the conditions havent been humid, so i dont think moisture has gotten into the pads... The thing is, this only does it maybe the first 15 minutes in the studio, and after that, its straight(maybe after it warms up). Also, the latency doesnt start until I go to that Pad Tab in side of Mode and Options, after i try to leave the Pad Tab, it starts changing screens with some latency

Im basically trying to see if anyone has noticed this before i purchase a new pad Sensor
