Hi, Can anyone help me with pads and sensors for my mpc 5000 please?
I bought it recently and I think it has a problem with its pads/sensors.
With the pads, they basically barely register a 'hit' unless I have Full Level on. Even hitting them full force, they only register about 1/3rd velocity in the Pad utility. I can't get any nuance out of them, it either doesn't register at all, or samples are triggered with barely any velocity. Pretty much unplayable.
If I stick Full Level, they either trigger at full velocity, or they don't trigger at all. I still have to hit them really hard a lot of the time to get anything out of them. If I hit the pad anywhere near the edges or the corner then I get nothing at all most of the time - it's really hit and miss.
I've only ever used a modern MPK2 keyboard before and the pads on that are so different, really firm and respond to even small pressure. The pads on my 5000 are really floppy around the edges and corners and don't respond very well at all.
Is that normal for a 5000 - just old technology that I should expect with all 5000s?
Thanks
