Top 20 Akai Mpc1000 Music Production Center Questions & Answers

Hi, change the ribbon cable between the hard disk and the motherboard...this worked for me.....I don't know why cable became faulty, but it did.....hope this helps

Maybe try adjusting the MASTER level? Good Luck Other settings Adjusting the master level You can adjust the level of the headphone and the stereo out by turning the MAIN VOLUME knob. The MAIN VOLUME changes the analog signal level. This will also adjust the entire level of the MPC1000 digitally. 01. Press the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 10] (OTHER). It switches to the OTHER mode. 02. Press the [F1] (GLOBAL) key. The GLOBAL page will be displayed. 03. In the Master level field, set the level. You will set the digital signal level, which will be sent out to the DA converter. The MPC1000 can output up to 32 sounds simultaneously. There is the great difference in the level when you play single sample and play 32 sounds. If you increase the value in the Mater level field, you can increase the entire level of the MPC1000 to create more powerful sound with less noise. However, if you playback many sounds at the same time, the level may be overloaded, which may cause distortion. If you decrease the value in the Master level field, you can prevent distortion when you play many sounds at the same time. However, you cannot have a good result in respect to the noise or punch of the sound. Set the appropriate value in the Master level field depending on the application.

Hey man I have the same problem. I got the io2 express.. is it possible ? Never seen anyone answer this for me.

NEED TO REPLCE SOUND CONTROL BUTTON.

I would look for either corruption of the file you loaded or attempted to save or if it might be too big to store in the unit.

It might be the memory card was not properly formatted for the machine.

A real problem is those who try to use a memory card that is bigger than the machine allows. MANY of them allow ONLY a 2 GB card maximum. If one tries to use a larger the units will freeze. Check that your card is listed as compatible as many, even the correct size, are not fully compatible.

There is probably a switch problem. IF these use the conductive rubber contact type switch buttons where a "pill" of conductive rubber is pressed onto a circuit board with traces, CLEAN the contact rubber AND the circuit board with 99% isoprophyl alcohol and Q tips. This type buttons feel "Rubbery and squishy" when pressed.

If the buttons have a hard tactile feel, then check for a bad button that might have broken internal parts and replace it... OFTEN you can tell by the "feel" when pressing compared to others.

In either case, disassembly and service is required.

This usually means your digital buffer overloads. When you have added several layers on to a sound it can be to much. Try to sample the sound again. If it comes back try to take the sample in a lower bitrate. Maybe your maybe can not keep up with the bitrate.

Good idea to carry it with you. Fluctuating barometric pressure will not affect it.

• The battery is low. The EWI 5000 uses a rechargeable battery, and if the battery is low, it may not be able to power the instrument for very long. Try charging the battery or replacing it with a new one.
• The power cord is not plugged in properly. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely to the instrument and to the power outlet.
• The instrument is overheating. The EWI 5000 can overheat if it is used for extended periods of time. If the instrument is overheating, it will stop playing to prevent damage. Try taking a break from playing the instrument and letting it cool down.
• There is a problem with the instrument. If you have tried all of the above and the instrument is still not working, there may be a problem with the instrument itself. You may need to contact Akai customer support for help.

Here are some tips to help prevent this problem from happening in the future:

• Keep the battery charged. Make sure that the battery is always charged so that the instrument does not run out of power.
• Plug the instrument in properly. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely to the instrument and to the power outlet.
• Take breaks from playing. If you are playing the instrument for extended periods of time, take breaks to let it cool down.
• Have the instrument serviced regularly. If you use the instrument frequently, it is a good idea to have it serviced regularly by a qualified technician. This will help to prevent problems from occurring.

I hope this helps!

Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW6qAKpHaGI. I believe that tempo would be the same as the metronome

here is the link to the manual

You would come out of the S1100 l/r output jacks into your mixer line input jacks on 2 channels, one panned left, one panned right. Be sure to adjust the input pad on each channel to where you're getting a hot enough signal and that the channels you're inputing to are routed to the mixer's main outputs.

The power switch will need to be replaced. This will need to be done by a tech rather than the end user unless you are experienced in electronic repair. Take it to the shop.

Hello,That's probably the drive belt inside the player, hope this helps.

If it's on ONE particular record, it may have a deep groove that the needle cannot move past. It could also be that you don't have enough pressure on the needle which you can adjust on the arm with a turn of the counter-weight (should be a knob on the other end from the needle)

normally a buzzing sound means a grounding problem, or a component has failed, unless you have the proper equipment to check these items,, your going to have to take it to a shop that does, sorry I know thats not what you wanted to hear,, but heres a hint, Ive found that a shop that deals in instruments and sound devices charges a lot, I have found a TV repair shop in my town, that can check my band equipment,, and its much cheaper, and I usually get the stuff back much quicker too

Here is a diagram of how the equipment should be connected:

The mixer is the device that interconnects your keyboard and drum machine. The receiver is just your sound output, and doesn't combine inputs, e.x. drum machine, keyboard, mic, etc.

Grab the tape out leads or other mains jacks using TRS cables (balanced).
