Wrong file = not 44khz/16bit. Samples need to be 44khz/16bitbefore loading into your machine.

2-3 times the bpm will come from something higher than 44khz. Meaning that sample was 16bit, but it was higher than 44khz.

Try converting your samples 44khz/16bit with a batch wave editor before (audacity, goldwave are freeware wave editors that can get that done) before you load them up.

That should solve both your problems.

I'm pretty sure though the manual tells you 44/16.
