Hey there everybody. Whats going on?? I usually dont peep to much through these forums cause I havent had as much time, but I been around here and there for years, absorbing all that I can. Now I got a little dillema I ran into here. I have an MPC 1000, ( it literally sat unused for about a year and a half) and I hadnt had as much time for music and really never used it. Over the past few months I wanted to get back into the swing of things. I used to use the pc and fruityloops and reason, but thought I'd try to hardward route, picking up a mpc 1000.korg karma, a few grooveboxes and some other random gear. Now everything works fine when hooked up to my mixer or my little crate 8" guitar amp, only problem is, is that the MPC 1000 is getting no sound or output. Now take in mind I never used this mpc before, so it could maybe be a setting or something I dont have turned on. Kind of weird that I wasnt getting any sound out of the headphone port either. It seems like the machine is working, cause the lcd lights up, it shows where it initilizes the ram and than just loads. I can navigate through the menus and whatnot, but when I hit a pad I get no sound. It came with a 32 mb compact flash card which I think is factory default sounds or somethings. Theres a few demo beats and sounds on there, and when I load the sounds from the internal memory, it will show the data for the track/song, and even when I press start/ play on the mpc it shows the little level fluctuating like its putting out output, but lo and behold I got no sound what so ever. I dont think its a physical connection, because I been hooking up instruments to my mixer for years with no problem. Tried to hook up the grooveboxes the other night just to make sure it wasnt a mixer or connection problem , and everything worked fine. Just kind of stumped as to what this could be. I dont have the manual, and ended up finding one on the internet, but It doesnt really say anything about this problem. Could this be a physical problem?? Like maybe the 1/4'' ins going bad or something?? I dont know but last time I checked it about a year ago it worked fine. Just seems kind of strange that it would power up and seem like its alright but doesnt put out any sound. It could just be setting I need to assign or turn on or something. Not sure what it could be. If anyone could shed some light on this and let me know whats up I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks
