I got a problem with my MPC 1000. Check it mane, I have the 128 ram installed. I have a total of 9 samples loaded up and recorded in, 4 of my samples are drum samples, the other 5 are sounds. I got a 8/4 beat looping 4 times. Now here's my problem I got the beat playing with all my samples playing exept for one. When I take that sound off mute, it will play halfway through and then another sound will cut out. What's tha biz on this. When I put the sound on mute again the sound that cut out starts playing again. Even if I want to double the high hat a sound will cut out, meaning that for some reason it's not letting me add more to my loop. I know there's someone out there that has mastered this problen. So holla back at me. ASAP.

make sure your hi hats/rides are monophonic
make sure your waves are trimmed appropriately
sounds like you're mismanaging polyphony

Hey bra I sent you a message in your inbox, I'm not sure what your saying mane, When I sample into the mpc I sample in stereo. I'm not sure what the poly thing your talking about is. My samples are cut just right, I should beable to record way more samples into my loop. Let me know what you think mane.

He means MONO in the sense of Polyphony, not in the sense of a single audio channel.

Try putting your drums one one track and make the program MONO (Go to Mode > Program > Params)

Then try putting the sample that is cutting out on a separate track and make the program POLY

See if that helps

Thanks brotha, I did exactly what you said mane, and it worked, all my sounds were playing and nothing was cutting out. Im not exactly sure why it worked, feel free to explain. Thanks and GOD Bless, you the man.

It's simple

Mono means "one"
Poly means "more than one / many"

Therefore, MONO will only play one sound at a time and POLY will play many. It's as simple as that.

Ok I see what's going on here, yall ain't got nothing better to do, single sitten at home eat n some porkgrinds, wishing ya'll had lives, Hmmm what do I have planned today, I think I'll play kid games on the internet. When someone ask a question I'll just dog him and make him think he's really stuiped because I'm gonna get back at all those kids that used to pick on me in school, by playing internet games.

Ha Ha Ha ya'll can't fade what can't be faded, Have fun playing your little games. Let me know when the next game starts. Hope I'm first pick.

no, you've got it all wrong. you asked a question, you got it answered, all well and good. you then proceeded to ask the guy who just answered your question if he was "gettin smart". do you not think that that was a little uncalled for?

I don't ever post here just read but this sirvaant has a point some people act like proper smart asses on here and to be honest thedvs01's explanation reply was **** useless it didn't explain how it fixed his problem it was just saying wat mono and poly meant, which i dont think is what he was askin for an explanation of, sounds like a real smart ass to me man. sirvaant your alright man keep doin wat your doin. I was gettin that same problem so your not alone jus some people on here seem to think knowledge is worth something and when they know summin you dont they make you beg to know and try and make u look like an ass afterwards for not knowing...when someone probably told them in the first place... anyway peace
