Sample cuts out during playback

Howdy! Not too sure if this a known problem, or me just being a retard but, I've recorded a beat with 6 Tracks in total, containing my drums, bassline etc, and now I want to put a 6 second sample over the top of the beat. Only problem is that when I do, the sample in question doesn't play for it's entirity it just cuts out halfway almost as if the MPC can't handle too many things going on at once. If the beat is not being played and I hit the pad with my sample on it, it plays through fine. Anyone know why this might be happening? I am using JJ 3.08. Any help would be awesome.

Cheers!

Hello fellow melbournian! I think you may have run into a polyphony issue, as soon as you play too many voices somethings going to suffer. Try cutting back on long cymbol sizzles. On later JJ's you get to see the polyphony count on screen, and max. is 32

Cheers mate! I wonder if I can record one of the tracks into a single sample rather than having one track containing multiple events to prevent this from happening, I don't want to have to cull any parts of my song. Hmmmm. Thanks for your help dude, at first I thought there might have been something wrong with my mpc....

Yes you could resample the main outs to make one track, like bouncing in a hardware daw, also you may want to convert any samples to mono, that will minimise the poly issue

Ahhh, good thinkin! It all works sweet as now! Cheers waveman!

Bewdy, glad you got that beat going!
