is it possible to set the MPC3000 back to the factory default without losing the OS?


Press OTHER.

Goto the INIT PAR option. ( soft key 1 )

INIT ALL PARAMETERS. ( by using the rotary encoder to select )

Covered in the manual.

awesome --- thank you

it didn't come with the manual and I'll be sure to download it

I hate asking these questions

I feel the answer is right infront of me

I came from the [Ensoniq] ASR-10 to the [Akai] MPC3000 and I thought this was going to be a breeze

the menu interface is totally different

this is my first [Akai] MPC purchase and I intend to not give up on it

for some reason when I hit the REC+PLAY together it won't light up the meterone

I have to hit OVERDUB+PLAY to hear the meterone click but then when I hit the STOP button it can't stop

I thought bringing the MPC3000 back to the factory default would solve this

but I think something in the MPC function is holding this back

Change the settings for your metronome to Rec Only or whatever you want it to be

Sorry, already tried that and that doesn't work

it was working fine yesterday

I must've hit some kind of function in the MPC when I was learning/playing around with it, to turn this mode off

Commands > Other

hit Main Screen

Sorry I got it working now

it had nothing to do with the function

it was because my REC and STOP button were a little stiff --- I guess I need to hit it more often to get it going

the guy who sold me the unit haven't used it in years, so maybe that's why
