Hi guys! Im not newbie in mpc500 stuff but i still have one question: how to play live beat sets on this machine?
I using this way:
- Preparation stage.
1. Save all programs and samples for all beats in one folder.
2. Save all *.all files for all beats in the same folder. (one *.all file for one beat)
- When u need to play live.
1. Load whole that folder. So all samples, all programs and one *.all file in RAM now.
2. Play beat from that loaded *.all file.
3. Get 1-5 sec gap (silence) when u load *.all file for next beat.
So...Silence between beats is not ok for live imho..
Do you guys plays lives in other ways?
P.S.: Yeah, i know that i can save all sequences in one *.all file (1-2 sequences for one beat), but usually i have unique fx settings for each beat so this way is impossible for me.
