dam, ever since I was f*cking with the time signature today, sh*ts been weird. Even on 4/4 when I hold down the 'timing correct button' the repeatitive snare(lets say) is really fast, like an uzi. The sequencing seems off too, I must of hit a button, does anybody know what I am talking about? thanks.

never mind, I think I figured it out

mine will do that sometimes, it's got a little glitch where it will go back to the default 120bpms for some reason, but after some button pressing is cool

it was weird cause I was experimenting with the time sig. like I usually do 4/4 or 4/8, but I was trying like 8/16 and 1/32 etc.. Anyway, I just couldnt sequence it smoothly. Like the beat went "boom, click, boom click, boom click, boom....click" it kind of was off. I dunno, I think I hit a button I shouldnt have.

Detail, can you name the midi channels and have it remember them, or when it goes back to 120 bpm does it go back to blank? If so, then your backup battery might be low on juice.

Time sigs are weird man, if you go to far off, go to other and init parms and you'll be back to the default.

I don't know, I'm not using it to Midi anything right now, I'll check it out...

another thing though, I'm pretty sure nobody here has listene to the beats I posted, or just didn't like them...at any rate, I made that one Stevie Ray Vaughn beat pulling the sounds from the zip...the next song I made had those Stevie sounds in the background, ever so slightly and I know it was the MPC...

could that be the backup battery as well? I guess I don't really know what that battery does

Store parameters like midi settings, midi note number assignments, that kind of thing. It wouldn't play another sequence. see if it keeps happening.

sounds like something highly unlikly.
