sigh... still im not sure what u guys are talkin bout... bcuz ive use the RS in alot of situations, and never had this prob... like i said b4, if ur THAT pissed with the machine, i got a $1 waitin for ur asses... and as far as it bein a toy? u guys are out of ur minds!!! a machine that came out in 2001 still can compete with 2days machines EZ!!! the 5000 aint nothin but a version of the RS in MPC format with 2008 features.
im not in front of my RS rite now, but after reading ur post again, it sounds like what u want to do is overlap the sound from loop end to loop start... i believe ur using the wrong record function... there is a "rec type" called "overdub"... turn the F2 knob from "replace", to "overdub"... try that instead of "replace" (ummm... that is what its doin... REPLACING your previously recorded note)... i think u mite need to use replace 1st, THEn overdub... it'll let u record on the same track without deleting the previously recorded.
Yes, I have mentioned this problem on the RS7000 forums and they said that at the end of 4/4, the machine sends a note off message to all midi, that's why all your notes get cut off.
i would love to know what YEAR u asked this question, bcuz in the early years of the RS, some of those guys didnt know much of what they were talkin bout, simply bcuz they didnt dig deep into the machine... ive been thru some archives on various sites for different machines (Just Blaze's MPC 5000 rant included) and the ignorance is crazy.
I'm getting seriously tired of not having a single piece of hardware that does most of what I need it to do without any problems or quirks. You figure in the year 2009, something like that would be easy.
And yes, a 2500 or a 5k or even a 4k is a better alternative than the rs7000.
in 2009 EVERYTHING'S ez for 2009 machines!
I can deal with certain functions requiring a lot of button pressing. I can deal with not being able to edit each single pad in a track. I can deal with not being able to assign a sample with a key/pad strike. But no other sampler I have used has this retarded ****ing problem of notes cutting off at the end of a sequence.
the RS does everything u just mentioned here... lol... i know, bcuz ive done it... yes, the manual is a freakin pain in the ass, but ive had mine for 7+ years now, and ive overcome all the headaches i thought were company oversights... they were oversights but only by me, and of course parts of the manual... the function or feature were most likely there, especially simple stuff... the RS is LOADED with stuff... truly ahead of its time... navigation on the surface couldve been better... but with time, patience, and understanding, u'll have no prob usin it... nothing back then (sampling drum machines) did what it could... and i now have an 8gb solid state drive inside mine, so now i can REALLY f@#k with tha "big toys"!
DONT BUY THE MPC 1000. THESE MACHINES ARE FOR KIDS.
wow... i guess ur boy Boon Doc is a kid also.
