So when in grid edit or step edit, you can make it so any notes added have a duration set specific to the TC value, so if you are TC'd at 1/6th notes, and then any notes entered in Grid/Step mode will have a fixed duration of (i believe) 24ticks. This is how a lot of early digital sequencers worked such as the Roland MSQ sequencers.
I like entering midi information this way sometimes, as I'm not very good on the keys, so my timing is usually a little off no matter what. If I want clean programming, especially on chords, I want the durations to be fixed and even...HOWEVER, my favorite way to sequence on the MPC is to leave a sequence looping in record mode and record in notes from my external keyboard. Is there any way to gate/quantize note durations to TC values while in record mode??? I can't quite get as creative by entering steps in manually, I have more of an improvisational approach to midi sequencing. A friend who used to use the MPC told me there is a way to do it, and said he remembered it being called "note length gate". I can't find anything like this on the MPC or in the manual. Any help would be appreciated!
