If I happen to think of something else I'll post it up, but I've never had this problem, I hit 16 levels and it
has always worked straight away for me.

The 16 levels is not set to "tuning". Chill out, take a deep breath and pay attention to everything your doing. If you don't see different "tone" settings in the step editor your 16 levels are not set to "TUNE". You have to assign a single one pad as (that will be your root note). U can only use the 16 pads and no bank changes. If you see notes with no tuning it's user error. Your overlooking something?

thx wrote:i've looked in step mode and i see the note is recorded in his original picth,
i can change the pitch in step edit pressing the pads
i'm not trying to use the slider
and i've set the type to "tuning"
i can hear the note variation when i play the pad but i can't record it
in theory it must work, but it doesn't
maybe there's some other option that i must set in some other menu?



If he wouldn't have set it to tuning, he wouldn't hear the different pitches while playing. But he hear it but can't record it. Thats a strange behaviour for sure.
Like Lamp said: Try to reinstall the OS. Just dont use the links he posted cause these are for the 2000XL. You are on a 2000 and need this here:

yes, it was the OS
no, i have a pentium 4 pc
i think you need a pc to copy the os files on a floppy because (if i'm not wrong) the MPC floppy file system is based on DOS
right?
correct me if i'm wrong

For 2k/2kxl.... FAT/FAT16

File Allocation Table or FAT is a computer file system architecture now widely used on many computer systems and most memory cards, such as those used with digital cameras. FAT file systems are commonly found on floppy disks, flash memory cards, digital cameras, and many other portable devices because of its relative simplicity. Performance of FAT compares poorly to most other file systems as it uses overly simplistic data structures, making file operations time-consuming, and makes poor use of disk space in situations where many small files are present.

For floppy disks, the FAT has been standardized as ECMA-107[1] and ISO/IEC 9293.[2][3] Those standards include only FAT12 and FAT16 without long filename support; long filenames with FAT is partially patented.

The FAT file system is relatively straightforward technically and is supported by virtually all existing operating systems for personal computers. This makes it a useful format for solid-state memory cards and a convenient way to share data between operating systems............
