WHAT AKAI WAS SAYING IS THAT YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE PROGRAM MENU SLIDE ALL THE WAY DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE POLY OR MONO. IF YOU SET A GROUP OF PADS TO MONO THEN THEY WILL ALL PLAY SIMULTANEOUSLY. IF YOU THEY ARE SET TO POLY THEN WHEN ANOTHER SAMPLE COMES THRU, IT WILL ONLY PLAY THEM ONE AT A TIME. UNTIL ANOTHER CUTS IT OFF. HOPE THIS HELPS.

It’s just a case of too much infomation at one time. Use as many different programs as possible, i.e. don’t have more than 2 or 3 samples playing off one program. Also cut everything you can (the silence) off the end of all your samples. if there’s silence on the end of them then it is more samples playing when you don’t need it. But yeah, at some point it decides it can’t play any more noises! I guess it relates to how much info. can go in and out of the RAM at one time.

I was having this problem for a while, and getting really bad failures when using reverbs and delays. I eventually checked the RAM stick and found it to be loose, even though on startup it registered as 128mb. Being directly under the pads, someone pointed out they can work loose.

Not saying it’ll solve your problem, but I clicked mine right back in (its scary but if you push it all the way in and then carefully but firmly press it down it will eventually CLICK into place, which I hadn’t done properly the first time!)

I was happy it was something so trivial, and something that I’d done wrong as opposed to serious MPC flaws. It all works fine now.

Hope this helps.

ive had the exact same problem for so long, ive been pulling my hair out over it. ive read all these posts so many times incase i missed something. ive tried everything (at first i just assumed it must be a poly or mute group problem, it wasnt).

for me, turning my effects off has sorted the problem. ive no idea why the effects set should interfere with anything, but it seems to allow my piano sample to play in full without randomly cutting out. ive tried turning my MPC down, to the point i can barely hear it, but that didnt solve anything in my case.

anyone else managed to resolve anything?

Thanks a lot!

This is something that happens under Ubuntu, Debian php5 package hasn’t that problem (instead has others, but that are off-topic in this post :p)

For the record:

Debian Lenny:
————-
; This is disabled in the Debian packages, due to the strict permissions
; on /var/lib/php5. Instead of setting this here, see the cronjob at
; /etc/cron.d/php5, which uses the session.gc_maxlifetime setting below.
; php scripts using their own session.save_path should make sure garbage
; collection is enabled by setting session.gc_probability
;session.gc_probability = 0
session.gc_divisor = 100

Debian Squeeze:
—————
; Defines the probability that the ‘garbage collection’ process is started
; on every session initialization. The probability is calculated by using
; gc_probability/gc_divisor. Where session.gc_probability is the numerator
; and gc_divisor is the denominator in the equation. Setting this value to 1
; when the session.gc_divisor value is 100 will give you approximately a 1% chance
; the gc will run on any give request.
; Default Value: 1
; Development Value: 1
; Production Value: 1
; http://php.net/session.gc-probability
session.gc_probability = 0

Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat:

yea, you have to set your samples velocity>voice overlap
polyphony to MONO, because when you trigger your sample 2x (for example pad1) it will overlap, and it can take up all your polyphony. By setting it to MONO, it like turns off the vocie overlap and makes your sample more solid so you have control of you trigger sample.
