yeah it sounds to me like you weren’t doing anything wrong, especially using presets I don’t think you need to worry so much about how the patches were set up. everyone sounds like they have valid points depending on how you’re using the thing but given the way you’re actually using it, it does sound more like a clipping issue and bryan_t is probably correct that might be overloading the master which could make it a gain staging issue which I think someone already mentioned. Are you actually sending audio through the MPC or is it just your sequencing hub? I mean definitely check into what everyone else said, it could be anything, but from the way you’re using it and since it doesn’t seem to be the note length/envelope I would have to guess it’s a clipping issue, you know?
Did you by chance try changing the depth of the chorus from the (func+syn2) chorus page instead of increasing the amount sent through the chorus on the amp page? It might give you something like what you’re after without pushing the master over the top. you might have to play around back and forth with the balance of the 2 settings though
