Step View

Yo wen i record somethin in the XL I can hear it fine on playback but some ish is out of time so i wanna time correct it...well when I hit 'step' nothing shows up...nothing...but wen i hit play, i can hear the notes and everything. just cant see them under step...anyone kno the problem?

Does it stay on the same screen or does the screen go blank? Under other menus does that button work or does nothing happen? If the button works, try reflashing your rom (reload your os). Otherwise, its time to take your MP apart and clean the the contact, worst case scenario, replace the button.

yea b the button works, it goes to the page but the page is blank. I can still use the data wheel to scroll to diff options but it still leaves the page blank. I dont kno how to reload the OS becuz i didnt install it I bought it with version 1.2 installed.

so you have the card reader model? Download 1.2os from the internet, save it to a cf card load it into the MPC. A note will come up saying "are you sure you want to flash the rom, everything stored in memory will be lost?" select do it.
(Substitute cf card w/ floppy disk if youve got a floppy drive.)

yea but i have the old beige model w a CF reader. I dont think I have a CF reader in my computer tho

you can pay to ship your MPC to vst, then pay them $65 to load the os for you. You could just buy a card reader for like $35 or you can find someone who has one and get them to load the cf card for you.

When in step edit what are you doing??? Data will only show at the actual time of it happening. Try scrolling through the time to where you know you have a note, or use the step keys.

I would have mentioned that, but isnt that common sense??

I guess sometimes common sense isnt so common.....

I really hope that wasnt the fix

And also make sure you are on the track that you want to edit. If you want to edit a kick in step edit you have to selct the track you recorded the kick on, or
else no notes will show up. or maybe if you are on the track you recorded the hi-hat only the hi- hat notes will show.

i didnt even select a trak cuz i had a program loaded...but anyway like ill record somethin by hand and go to step but nothin is there and yes i scrolled threw all the time. But anyway if I hit a pad while in step edit, somethin will show up but then if I exit the window and go back its not there anymore

I donno then........never seen that before. If you figure it out let us know. Goodluck.
