whats up everybody..

i have midi track on my mpc which talks to a drum track on my keyboard and have an entire drum pattern layed out on that one drum track..

is there a way to divide that one drum track into seperate tracks so that i can track out my drums? i.e. seperate bass/snare/hi hat/cymbals etc into seperate tracks..

on my motif there is a job called "divide drum track" that does this but i need to know if my mpc can do it as well since i use it to sequence as well.

p.s these are not drum samples coming out of the MPC.. i'm using the MPC as a sequencer for a midi keyboard that is generating all the sounds.

I'm afraid manual is the only way.

Copy the track as many times as you want separate drum parts,

then erase all notes but kick on the first track,
All notes but snares on the second, etc.

How do you use the MP so high up?

Even standing, dont you have to bend over the other keys to get to it?

If it is you main sequencer I never get how people get up to press play record edit etc.

Just curious.

recently.. i've been using the motif es for just about everything and the mpc/triton aren't getting played as often as they once were. also, it hasn't been setup like that long. i rearranged the studio and ran low on desk space/long cables. :)

Cool man, thanks for the explanation. A lot of people I know that have their MPC that high (3rd tier) tend to not use it.

Gotta love rearranging the studio!

In the future you can probably lay your kick on one track, snare on another, etc. when you're sequencing to avoid this problem? Just a thought. Rock on...
