shot of noise,,,

Hi gents,,

Question.

When i sample somthing (this case a kick)
I save it and al is well.
When recalling the sample and triggering it,
There is a shot of noise at the end, now this does not happen every time,
And i got the idea the it was worse with the floppy still in it, now running with
A cf reader, is less but somtimes stil there. And i need to cutoff ends of a sample to cover it up. If i save with the end cutoff and recal is again sometime later, again it has this shot of noise in the end,
Must the longer the sample the bigger the change this happens,, starting @ +- 0.6sec.
Iv'e got an mpc60 with 3.10, marion board, the memory upgrade, and a cf-reader from seeds (still a great cf-reader that works like a charm B-))

So,,, does anybody experienced this before? Ore know where to look?
Thanks in advance

Is your memory (RAM) expansion official or some type of hack?

Regardless, remove, clean contacts thoroughly, try again.

Hi clint,,
Its an all original 60, and the extra's are also original.
Shall try to clean up the mem ic's and give it a try.

Thanks in advance

try adjusting the decay in the sound edit section.. sometimes that fixes it.

I understand what you mean with the decay,, accept this is such a strong shot of noise, it clips all levels, there is a hardware malfunction going on here, i think indeed cleaning up the mem ic's and checking the results of that is a quick and easy way of a first trouble shoot,

It cant also be the settings of sampling, because at that point every thing is still fine,
Its just when the 60 has been turnt off, couple of days later back on, and recalling a sample, that it has been infected with this noise.

Might also be related to the CF card you're using. Noise issues can occur with some CF cards which the MPC don't like for some reason. This issue is well documented here.

I suspect you RAM, CF card/s, or the machine has some other serviceable fault (for example caps need replacing). You must always remember, the MPC60 is 25+ years old. Components will fail due to old age, vibrations, heat, moisture etc.

As a non-techie myself, I'd get someone to service the machine once initial trouble-shooting has failed to identify the cause. Maintenance is part of the deal when you buy old samplers.

Indeed, and i am not scared to find stuff out, it was helpfull if sombody experienced this problem before,,, but i think its up to me this time so,,, i will be back with the status update of my search.

Thanks in advance
