Off key when playing the pads on the mp

Hey what's up everybody?

I received my mpc 1000 2 days ago , but it seems when i play the pads i'm off key. All the settings are basic, 50 % swing, quantize 1/16 note.
Can someone help me? Is there a setting that i should do or something?


Peace,

keep practicing..

try turnin the metronome on to help you along the way..

haha i will, i will, but i think it's because i'm playing trough a headphone, and i dont hear the metronome click well.

ok in your manual, look up "quantize".. or do a search here on the forums.

Quantize isnt even in the manual

its probably because your 1000 is new, therefore the pads are rather stiff.
My 2000XL was like that until i wore the pads in quite a bit from normal usage....now everythings just fine, the pads respond with 100% accuracy.

Then look for timing correct I'm sure that's in your maual.

no way, i have had 2 new MPCs and never noticed this. You were probably just new to the mpc, it was all in ur head.

off key when ur actually hitting the pads or off key when it is played back?

so are they off key? or off time?

ya'll are confusing me!

Heey guys,

I hooked my mpc to my speakers today, and now i'm on key haha..

maybe it was all in my head.....but i dont seem to have that particular problem with mine anymore.

so who knows

same problem i had when i started... and im still on earphones lol
got strict immigrant from arabic countries type of parents
listen up tho
i personally dont think it has to do with the machine at this point its just ure timing is a bit off and cuz of that everythin aint on beat
turn the click on and try to time ure hits well
anyways thats all i got
tkake it ez

thanx, but it works now, i hooked it up to my speakers, i guess i had to get used to the mpc pads!
