Stopping double triggering | Best sensitivity settings?

My black MPC 1000 has the pad upgrade and I still get double triggers. I have to hit it a certain way for it to happen, for instance when I hit it with 1 finger at a certain speed it'll trigger the pad twice. I know, someone is goin to say "hit it with 2 figers then". I'm looking for a solution to the problem through adjusting the sensitivity settings. I have played around with them a bit and I can't seem to get around it.

I am on JJOS 1 v4.99 by the way.

In your experience, what are the best settings for sensitivity?

Hey.
Ima write it here because I think it might be quite useful to some users...
So...
... I own an MPC1000BK and it looks like this:
In the "Other" options I select "Pad" and I have some properties like "Pad Sensitivity", "Pad Velocity Curve" and "Pad On Level".
Usually the pad problems and so called pad "double triggering" issues happen when your "Pad On Level" is set too low (like 13 or lower).

To me the best configuration of the "Pad On Level" option is from 15 to 18 (16 is the best, optimal value).
Change that value bro...

> For some other users - Upgrade ur OS (any version of the JJ OS is highly recommended and might solve the pad double triggering issue) <

Peace!

In my experience, and also the experience of reading through other people's experiences on this forum, is that it's not the pads...it's you.

If you're new to the MPC, then like I did (and countless others), you may experience the double trigger. This is just your finger hitting the pad twice i.e. you're leaving your finger lingering after your initial hit.

I could be wrong, buit I've never heard anyone actually having faulty pads that double trigger.

Practice your pad hitting and it'll slowly die off, unless you get really ninja and learn to double trigger on command, sounds ill sometimes

Hello MPC peeps! I know this is an ancient thread, but figured I would put my two cents in... I have been using the MPC5k for a couple months now, and never had a double trigger problem. Needed a portable MPC, so last week I picked up an MPC1000BK, the last new one in the store Got it home and loaded up some drum programs, and sure enough I was getting double triggers. Very frustrating, especially because I opened up the unit and confirmed that it has the good pads (single rubber sheet). I messed around with the pad sensitivity settings and all, but one in about every 50 or so hits was still a double.. I'm doing 16 and 32nd notes at 175bpm, so double hits are extremely annoying for me!
I have my MPC 1K sitting on a flat table, but noticed that it wobbles very slightly, as if one of the rubber feet is not touching the table. (kind of like an annoying shaky four legged chair at a restaurant, ya know). Well, I put a CD (shim) under the MPC foot, and it is now totally stabilized. Guess what, NO MORE DOUBLE TRIGGERS! I think what was happening, at least in this case, is that when I hit pads the MPC wobbled and caused a double hit as it moved up.

If anyone is having double trigger issues, it may be worth it to make sure your MPC is sitting completely flat on a very sturdy table or mount that has NO give whatsoever. Make sure it doesn't wobble at all by lightly pushing down on the corner edges one at a time. the CD shim seems to have solved my problem completely, now I need to figure out how to make a permanent fix for the road.

Good Luck!!

p.s. I think this was a non issue on the 5K because it is so much heavier than the 1K, more sturdy too.
