Hi all
I've never used an MPC before - got myself a 4000 a few days ago and i'm on the learning curve roller coaster now!
I'm struggling getting my head around the difference between tracks and programs within a sequence. Would you say this is the logical way to view it?:
You have a separate program per track, to make up the sequence? So say I have a drum loop chopped - have that as program 1 on track 1. Then additional drums... program 2 on track 2. Piano chops - program 3 on track 3... and so on.
This might seem obvious to some but it's puzzling me. I've seen videos where people only have one individual hit per track... eg kick on 1, snare on 2... but others a whole cacophony of sounds on 1 track.
Is it just that there is no right or wrong to this? Are there particular benefits to the way you like to do it?
Sorry for being such a newbie bout this!
