Update 3: I have been trying everything to sort this issue of cutting off notes in 1 sequence when they play on another midi channel.
Ok so I tried it:
1. usb connected to MPC, drops/cuts off notes notes.
2. midi din connected to MPC, drops/cujts off notes
3. Usb connected to midi host box then midi din connected to MPC, drops/cuts off notes
4. USB connected to PC, routed through cakewalk via wireless AKAI midi to MPC, no dropped notes.
So it seems going dawless or PC less with the Keystep Pro and the MPC is impossible, however it does work when used with a PC. I don't know if it is an MPC issue or Arturia issue, but it is disappointing. Would be nice if they could sort this.
If anyone has any thoughts or ideas why I might have this problem let me know.
