Problem with the 809 expansion

I'm using the 809 expansion pack.

I write a pattern - no problems at all.

Then.... Say I want to change the decay on the kick drum whilst the MPC is playing

The interface constantly jumps to settings for which ever pad is current playing -

Making it impossible to edit anything on the 809 GUI whilst the mpc is playing
as soon as you alter a knob or setting on one pad it's jumped to another and you have a mess.

How do you set it so you can work on one pad at a time whilst the pattern is running?

Thanks, Leo

try going into sample edit for the kick.

what are you trying to do?

ive been wanting to use 809 drum kicks for the heavy bass like in a lot of the trap songs and stuff..but i havent been able too ;(

Sorry - Let me try and explain a bit clearer:

If I have a pattern running on the 809 and I try to change anything on the 809 interface page - it is impossible - because it is constantly switching from setting to setting as each pad plays. give it a try and let me know if it's the same for any of you.

thanks, Leo

just stop the program. should work that way. atleast i think

You must be able to alter stuff whilst it's running, surely? you need to hear tuning etc. in context of the pattern. this is either a bug - or I'm missing something.

well..there is more knowledgeable ppl here..but i dont know why they are not answering to this damned thread

Looks like this is a bug - as there is another post hi-lighting the same problem.

yea..dont know where the other people are..they are usualy active

Not a bug brother, that is how it is programed. That is why everyone pretty much still use 707/808/909 kits instead of The 809. It was brought up when the Ren was first released but, never fixed. So, chalk it up as the design of the software and go back to your pre-made kits...like the rest of us.

lolz..stupid akai not fixin their shit

Okay thanks - what a strange way to set it up - back to the home made kits it is..... shame those 809 sounds were nice.

hmm..why dont you use "live recording" and then change the parameter on the re sample?
