i just noticed that i can't record any midi notes past the 64 midi notes provided by the MPC. For instance i was recording a bassline from my fantom-s and a couple of the notes went past the playable notes that are possible on the MPC pads wouldn't record. I checked in step edit and it didn't even record the notes.


I don't remember having this problem w/ the old OS.

In step edit u can manually put the notes in but that's too much to go through if what u want to play is pretty complex.

Is there some setting i need to change or a have any of u noticed the same thing?

Try setting the track TYPE to MIDI instead of DRUM.

It was already set to midi. I even tried it set to drum to see if that made a difference. None of my settings have changed since using the old OS.

I believe that I have found the same problems. Some of the most low/high notes will not record. However, when I use the step edit mode to enter these notes..they record just fine....which is your findings as well...bummer :cry:

hay all sent an email to akai today, hopin for a reply soon that fukin bug is anoying me.

Hi,

I am an owner of an Akai MPC2500.
I was recently trying to record a midi
part into my MPC when I noticed it wasn't
recieving any very high or very low notes.
all notes past the 64 pad range did not even
appear in the sequence edit mode.
This was not a problem in OS 1.0b.
I was just wondering if you knew about
this bug already or to let you know if
you didn't. I was also wondering when
the next OS would be released and
whether it will fix this issue as it seriously
affects the music I make on my MPC
as I do lots of low bass lines and high
lead lines.

Thankyou.

Jonathan


is that ok or should I hav said something else?
