Hello, I've had my MPC for a couple of weeks now, and I'm pretty sure something's wrong with it. Whenever I record a sequence, whether I got quantize on or not, what will be recorded will be awfully offbeat and all over the place, and it will also record notes that shouldn't even be there. Let me explain: let's say I got 4 piano notes, one on pad 1, one on pad 2, one on pad 3 and one on pad 4. I will record and hit pad 1, 2, 3 and 4, one time each. Then when I play back the recording, it will be something like "pad 1, pad 1, pad 3, pad 4". Wtf? Same thing will happen if I record drums. They will be totally at the wrong time, no matter how tight I play them. I managed to fix this problem just by messing with the quantize options if I remember correctly. But when I tried to mess with these options again (because it was quantizing everything and it sounded robotic) the problem reappeared. Now I can't make it go away. Even with quantize on at 1/16 and 50% swing, it doesn't change anything. Please help as this is getting extremely frustrating. Thanks!

You need to look in the sequence list or grid edit. This allows you to actually see what you recorded. Double note might be cos it's set to loop maybe.

It says I recorded "pad 1, pad 1, pad 3, pad 4" when clearly I played "pad 1, pad 2, pad 3, pad 4".

Ah then that's cos you got old blue model maybe or pads are sensitive or you need to adjust the velocity sensitivity of pad on
