Does anyone had any luck with the steps described in this post? http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=162899.

When I go step by step and start receording, everything goes fine for few seconds but then the MPC always freezes until i pull off the MIDI cable from it ... There's some settings in MIDI/SEQ mode, so maybe something must be set there!

When I record with mutes to MIDI into the computer and then re-record it back to empty track, everything works perfectly, but I'd like to be able to do it without computer.

I know it's said to be glitchy, but it's weird that it works for someone and doesn't for someone else - it's probably some MIDI settings... Ideas?

Ah, I figured it out...

The "target" track mustn't have MIDI channel set, otherwise it creates a loop.

This stuff is gold. Thanks Riggs!

One last thing that is kinda lame is that I can't get "melodies" made with 12-levels to work...

I tried to print all MIDI data coming from it and it seems that no information about pitch is not send at all when you're in 12-levels :(

Maybe I just missed something?
