It could be, if leaving your fingers on the 2500 pads, after the initial hit, were sensed by the 2500 as having the pad held down, versus more force required to be sensed as a held pad on the Renaissance, meaning maybe the fingers left on the pad after the initial hit were not sensed on the Renaissance, it could appear to be a difference in the way note repeat works.

But anyway, having it not trigger a sound sometimes on the first 'hit', if that hit doesn't occur exactly on a timing correct division, and then triggering on a second hit, if that hit does occur exactly on a timing correct division, sounds like the correct operation of the note repeat function...to me anyway, you have it in front of you, so maybe there are issues beyond normal note repeat functionality.

Once again thank you very much for trying to help.
i really appreciate it.i will see if my friend can bring mpc 2500 over at my house to compare them one next to the other.

No problem, I think it is best to compare them side by side, before going to the trouble of making a video to show us the problem.

Though, it might be useful to video the problem, if you think you are still having it, while you do have them side by side.

Just make sure to slow the tempo right down, and set a large timing correct division, so that the way the note repeat function operates is more obvious, and have the same settings on both.

i found the source of the problem.

many many times about 60% when i keep the note repeat on and hit the pads the first hit doesn't trigger the sample.off course if i keep the pad down it will do the trick but will do it a "hit" later.

don't know if this is something i can report to akai or it's something that can be fixed with the software.jah confirmed that hitting a pad once when the note repeat is on will not always work and not just on ren.so propable it's a problem that can't be fixed.

maybe it seems to me that ren does it more often than 2500 or 4000 cause cause of the way i hit the pads and also that i find the pads of the ren harder than the other 2 mpcs.
