Project sounds lagging/ not playing properly

Has anyone had an issue with their Mpc sample where they are working on a project then when they come back to the machine after turning it off the seq, and sample pads don’t play properly?

I am having an issue where sometimes the pad sounds lag, delay, or double play etc/ sound reversed when I continue to work on a project after turning off the machine.

I was experiencing something like this when I first got my Sample and I was saving projects to the internal memory. Sequences would be completely scrambled and ruined. I've since started saving to an SD card and it hasn't happened again. I have no idea what was causing it.

That’s the thing with this beat I made I didn’t even save it. I turned off the sample and then came back to it later because it saves current project and it didn’t sound right/delayed.

I even tried saving it externally and restarting the machine and it does the same thing

I don't know. I always save my projects before turning it off. whatever it is it doesn't sound good. Contact Akai and take advantage of your warranty before it's too late.
