make sure that the new bin file is the only bin file on your CF card.

Now i set the metronome thing to 1/8 50% and then record the hihats, change track and gonna record the kick and snare, i bang out to the hihats awile until i like it and then record it, now to the problem........the sounds like cuts all the bass? and when i then play it therse almost no sound at all...
I have format my CF yesterday and changed to 0db

But if i load up one for the nym drumkits it works great.



Hope u understand : )

in the program parameters screen there is a new function to the top right of the screen where it says PLAY. you can set the whole program to be mono or poly. it seems when you slice a sample and create a new program from that it defaults to mono. just switch it to poly and you should be fine.



i noticed in step edit mode that when you press the overdub button to add notes it stays on where before it only came on when you held it down.
not sure if thats good or bad yet though.
what is annoying me is if you say change a pad number in step edit the rec light comes on and stays on as well. you have to press it to go off or if you touch a pad it will be entered the sequence

that's correct.

please for all of you who never installed an os before there is a "how to" pdf on akai's website in the same location as you dl'd the bin file. take it and read it. also before you jump into everything, please read the manual. i am not having the same issues as everyone with the volume, however, akai is already aware of the situation.

dont know if anyone else already said this, but i have been having some probs with timestretch...
under the program>params>edit I changed a breakbeat from 121 bpm to 91
then this wierd ass thing started hapening, a bit like the jessiah glitch; it added all these crunched up pops and clicks that seemed to go up in pitch and then stop. im try 2 more times, then see if its still doin it....

what's up yall... i finally got home from work and downloaded the new O/S... now before i install it, i wanted to ask yall something... when i was at work, i printed out the 'software release notes' so i could review it while going home on the subway... i noticed that one of the 'bug fixes' (#19 to be exact) says "FIXED MISCELLANEOUS PRODUCT MISLABELING IN THE USER INTERFACE"...

Question: Does this mean that once O/S v2.10 is installed, the custom start up (or welcome message) won't be available?

I know this is a stupid question, but I just wanted to know before I go ahead and install it... Any help would be appreciated, thanks yall...

that's because you stretched it too much. when you timestretch, you can't take it from one extreme to another. that's not just with the 1k but with anything you would stretch a sample with. you can't do it that much.

try taking that sample from 121 to about 115 or the most i would take it is 111. anything more than that you would get the sound you are listening to.

and yes my screen turned blank for like 2 - 5 minutes :s

thank you people

very very much

Whats up with them not saying hold the erase button when you restart. Same thing happened to me too. How'd you figure that one out? Thanks for posting the answer to your problem.

this is da shit!
really more than i exepected
two self oscilating filters on the audio inputs
random and ramp waves on the LFO *edit* and its to slow

the only detail iv'e been missing is the LFOsync OFF feature
otherwise....it's perfect
i'm outta here...i'll be be when the next OS is due

hey i just got 2.01 and i am fooling wit da features

got some ??s

1.i am messing wit timestretch i got this sample and i want the tempo 109 once i make it 109bpm it no longer fit 109 in a 4/4 seq what am i doing wrong?
2.this picthshift stuff do you use it before you ts or after i know you dont always need to use i am just fooling around


i aint never have a mpc with these features b4 so i dont know much bout them i aint never really need this stuff then, normally i'd just pitch up and down til i find what i like tempo-wise but i thought you can always learn more i am reading the new manual now so pls dont flame me i am just wondering bout how so yall use these features in the 1k or other mp's i am a total newbie to this things i aint asking to be taught just looking for examples, pros/cons of these things if that makes any sens

Certified FRESH!

i'm not getting the pan setting on the lfo screen.
the manual says there is filter and pan, it's even there on the pic.
but on my screen i have two filter settings but no pan.
i guess they changed it on the os and diddn't update the manual?

OMG....

Ive had/have a MPC 60, MPC3000, MPC200, and MPC1000, and i got to say ive never had more fun than with the MPC 1000 Ver 2.10.

Honestly.

That Realtime switching of note repeat resolution is just aching to be exploited live!

Dam. Nice one Akai, Real Nice.
