Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

so im putting together this beat yesterday

it's 3 or 4 tracks of drums in a 16 bar sequence. like one high hat track, one bass drum/snare track together and one track with claps, all going for 16 bars. nothing complicated even, totally simple parts.

i go to overdub my juno106's midi on a new track. so i set the new track up for midi. i record from the start and 6 bars into it the beat stops even though the sequencer kept recording. like it was still clicking away with the record light on and everything, but i dont hear the drums.

so i go back to bar 6 and try to overdub from there but it still wont play the drum tracks.

i check out the high hat in step edit and from bar 6, just after the downbeat, to the end it is GONE. im like OKAY so i check out the other drum tracks and EVERY TRACK, from bar 6 to 16 is erased. but the juno recorded

WTF?

luckily before i went to put down the juno i had already copied the sequence to switch the HH to a ride. so i had a back up. but still, how **** weird is that??

anyone else ever see that? did i do something to cause that?

thanks!

naw never really happened to me....

just copy the earlier bars and paste them on bar 6 and above until you have the whole 16 bars again....

not sure why it would have erased your drums....

sounds like you didnt have it set to " LOOP:on " in the main page. this way it will keep sequencing until you stop.

nanoloop, read it again, i think youve misunderstood.

everything was set right. the mpc erased a whole bunch of sh1t on me.

if it was a 16 bar sequencer loop, why would it start erasing at bar 6? you cant even intentionally set it up to do that. maybe with autopunch or something but i havent even used that once, and it's definitely not something i could have done by accident.

probably all that junky sysex the juno is sending out. the juno always gave my mpc the runs when i drop'd to much sysex.

i think youre right, i had the "send disgusting amounts of sysex" switch turned on (that sysex switch in the back i mean)

hasnt happened since, but i also havent tried the juno again with it (been using a microkorg for a few days)
