Sequences into Song into Sequences...

I'm sure I'll get yelled at by Penfold for this but who cares I've searched and people had similar problems but not mine.
I am making a song out of like 7 sequences...some of which have MIDI data on them. When I place them where I want the in the Song mode...everything sounds fine, the MIDI plays and everything. When I convert into a sequence it sounds all screwd up. I understand the fact MIDI is not audio yada yada...but there's drum sounds all screwed up and in weird places. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

if i understand your q correctly you must make sure all your PRG are the same on each track on each different SEQ before converting a SONG to a SEQ...otherwise the MPC applies the MIDI date to whatever PRG was applied to the track before in the previous SEQ with the SONG arrangement..alternatively you can program MIDI program changes in the STEP EDIT but it is well boring and takes ages...i sure the first solution will sort your problem....peace

match track numbers and programmes in all the sequences, and all will be fine.

or, to say it differently, use always the same programme and midi channel settings on any given track on all your sequences.

ok, I understand what you guys are saying...for all my sequences I have the same program, however thetracks for each sequence are different...ie: some track ones are kicks, others might be a snare, etc...is there an easy way to switch all my trach numbers in a sequence rather than just re-recording everything. Like can I make my track one, track three on all my sequences. Thanks for all the input.

lol...here's another problem I guess I have...when I first got this thing I wasn't really sure how to work it, so I have a track one...which has my whole sequence on it...kick, snares, hi hat, etc...there's probably no possible way to sperate them right?

There's a way to do it. But when you record them you can always just mute all the pads but leave one open.

go to seq edit.
change the setting to MOVE (instead of COPY)
hit the pad for your snare.
specify the track you want to move it from and what track you want to move it to (upper right handcorner of the screen).
hit do it and your done.


do the same for the kick and whatever other stuff you want to seperate.

peace.

that's your problem right there. when you have multiple seqs that you want to arrange in song mode then convert back to a seq, you have to make sure that all seq's kicks are on (for example) track 1 and snares on track 2.

it's very hard if not impossible to go back and do that but for future reference, make sure it's done right.
