Can anyone explain this?

This is what I get when I do the 16 levels tuning feature. My example has 2 different samples. It sounds like crap, here take a listen...

side note - decay, attack, velocity = all good

Never come across this myself, but I heard that it is caused by a RAM problem, the ram expander has dirty contacts or is failing in some way. If you don't have the ram expander, then it could be the onboard ram and you'll need to get it servied. If you do have the ram expander, open your 60 up and take out the ram board and then test 16 levels. If it's fine, then clean the pins and connector for the ram, maybe someone who has done it can say with what. That usually solves the problem.

Cool. I do have the ram expander. Ima check it out and report back.

Do you have a MK I??

Do you know how to open up your MPC 60?

its just 4 screws Under the endcheeks, not the ones in them, the screws are in the metal below, not the plastic.

If you go the the roger Linn site the Downloads section (conviniently in the FAQ ) ther eare instructions PDF's for installing the 3.10 and SCSI which include disasembly instructions (highly underrated in many service manuals) with pictures for both MPC 60 and 60 Mk II.

The ram has a screw on top (maybe two, I looked at mine today but I was working on buttons) that you have to unscrew then you can pull the memory board out straight up I believe.

Shouldn't take you too long at all. make sure you unplug it before you do anything, once you pop the board out, close it up without screws and carefully plug it in and test 16 levels. if it works, shut down and unplug again and clean and reinstall the memory, close without screws again and test 16 levels.

Other things that can mess with your shyt like that is if you play midi data (tap the pads or midi keys ) while the sounds and PGM are loading, not a good idea and I have had sounds that get that without 16 levels when I've tappes the pads a whole bunch while loading.

If it works we'll put this in the faq.

It didnt work. But since this first started happening there is now some added functionality. On first discovery of the problem with "center pad" on 13. 13 was the only one that worked. Now after checking over and over pad 1 is now working fine. Exactly one octave apart. It went from completly distorted to clear. But, the rest still are weird.

I noticed my voice chips are v1.0 but my roms are v3.10 anything to this?

Can't really say, hopefully mike or Rohan will chime in.

dam man, I knew I should have got a 1000...
