I've currently got an SP 404 and it is setup so that my Behringer Midi Foot Switch triggers one shot samples or loops. I play guitar live so this helps me really fill out my sound with samples. I'm thinking of replacing the 404 with an MPC 500 and a KP3 so that I have dedicated effects along with a better sequencer.
I'm interested in the MPC 500 because of its on-the-fly sequence capabilities (aka being able to create sequences without stopping the sequencer). I've decided I don't really need an MPC 1000 JJ or anything for my needs. If what I want to do will work it'll work on the 500.
My question is this:
Can I mute pads with a Midi Note or CC message?
For example, I want to start a song with a drum loop and then start playing in time with it. Eventually I want to bring in a synth on a track which will be muted. Can I just hit a MIDI note on my footswitch and it'll unmute the part?
Thanks.
