stuck pad?????

Just last friday i got my 2500 back from akai service. They sent me an entire new unit because pad 1 was activating other pads when tapped with enough force. If you still have a warantee, i would send it in.

Mine has only done it twice so far and has bee fine since.

just so you know....

i think OS problem not pad, for what its worth.

this use to happen once in a while but the problem is getting worse I m sending it in TODAY!

just took in my mpc 2500 .....the music store gave me a loner ....because pad 13 wasent responding at all sometimes....... the mpc they gave me the top of the top 4 pads feel just as week as the mpc I had but pad 13 works fine.....anyone else notice when they press the top part of the top four pads things just dont feel right like a clicking noise...try it out and let me know


thanks

u think I ll get a new unit !?

My problem seems a little different than yours. Wristmaster, i dont think mine was an OS problem. When im just on freestyle mode, not recording or editing anything, other pads activated when i pushed one, thats definitely just a short, or a contact problem under the pad. Savilion, yours might be an OS problem but it seems serious enough for them to get you a new one. Its not that bad, its kinda nice haveing a nice fresh MPC

today I was working on the mpc that was loaned to me......the same shit happened ....pad 13 stopped working and pad 14 would somtimes trigger pad 13....man o man,,,,,,, so I think it is an os problem ,,,,,but I dont understand....akai is seriously fucing up

This reminds me of my MPC 1000 experience back in December 2003. I was one of the first to get hold of a 1000 in the UK from an Akai rep from Arbiter Group.

I used it for a two weeks, liked its quite alot, and then noticed a few bugs, then more and more. I returned it back, got a another new unit and the damn thing would sit flush on my desk.

With my second unit, it was a hit n miss. Sometimes it performed great, then i started noticing certain .wav samples with click sounds on them. I found a solution (involving batch processing each sample), but it was time consuming.

Git a 3rd unit, and thats when i packed in. I found that one Pad played a sound of another Pad, it was very intermittent and i had to prove this to both Akai UK and my dealer.

Thats when i moved onto a 4k and 2000xl and now a 2500 (which im yet to use).
