Hi there. :)

First post here with some questions that are crucial to me, coming from 17 years experience with the Roland SP-808 samplers. I hope the upcoming MPC Live can finally be a replacement for my old buddies.

What I need is actually VERY basic and this videos demonstrates it:

1. I need banks (per song) for pads. I figure that the MPC Live offers 8 banks, from A to H.
2. I´m only using homegrown samples (no one-shots) that I need to loop with the machine
3. I need a visual feedback once a pad is in loop-mode.

That´s all I need. So: will this be possible with the MPC Touch?

Cheers,
and thanks in advance

Wow, that live show of yours looks sick!
It's possible to do what you need with both Live and Touch, but with Touch you're going to need to bring your laptop on stage.

Thanks for the reply. :)

I wrote MPC Touch by mistake in my initial post. I meant the MPC Live. I really hope it´ll suit our needs. Thanks for the comment on my band, well appreciated. :)
