Ok this is not one of those bugs that freezes your mpc in a debug screen but it's one that could **** up some of your sequences if you're not careful.
Take following situation; you have 2 sequences loaded in your mpc sequence 1 called VERSE and a second sequence 2 called CHORUS.
Now you want to adjust the velocity values of your hihats track in the VERSE sequence. In the main screen select the hihats track (1 for example) of the VERSE sequence, and press the edit button.
In the edit screen you select velocity and you specify MULTI VALUE % with a percentage of for example 150%. Press DO IT and you will return to the main screen and indeed all the hihats sound louder (if they were not recorded at full velocity b4
) If you now go back in the edit screen (mind you, we are still positioned in the VERSE sequence) and you want to do the same procedure on a track of the CHORUS sequence, you can posistion your cursor on the sequence field and set it to 2 with the data wheel and press DO IT again, right ?
well NO ... DON'T DO THAT!!! Why not you may ask .. If you do this your mpc for some mysterious buggy reason will copy the data of your VERSE sequence into the CHORUS sequence, thus destroying all data of the CHORUS sequence (it even renames it to VERSE).
:roll:
I ran into this bug last night while making some arrangement for a new beat I was making. Luckily I had already saved both sequences b4 I did this, or I could start all over again.
Sorry if you find this too long to read but this can be a **** annoying bug that could make you loose some of your work. I have not verified whether the same behaviour happens in os 1.14.
