Yo,
Been exploring the MPC world in the last little bit (new to it all, using MPC Studio), and while I'm sweet on Program Edits, Effects, Sampling, Chopping, making beats and all the rest...there's one bit I haven't been able to quite get my head around...and it feels so simple as to be stupid (possibly so basic that I haven't been able to find a proper explanation of it anywhere)...
Simply - what is the relationship between Programs and Sequences?
I know...I know...
I know I can chop a sample into a new Program, for example, but then if I have beats set up in a sequence...how do I make those chops available to the beats in the sequence? Or is that even how I'm supposed to think of it?
Currently, I end up basically sort of copying the sequences, removing the parts I don't need to build my tracks...and while it works...it's not exactly intuitive. And I have a sneaking suspicion there MUST be a better (proper) way.
Facepalms...go!
