Forum dedicated to the new portable standalone MPC, the MPC Sample.

Hi there,

My MPC Sample has a problem with lower kick drums. During the preview they sound fine, but once loaded to a pad, the have a distorted crackle sound on it, while the level meter has 2-3 green bars.
I was reading in other threads that some people were experiencing it while running the MPC sample in MIDI slave Mode.
I do have the distorted kick problem all the time, even without using external trigger.
I also opened a ticket with Akai.
Is there anyone experiencing the same issue and has a solution?
