Hi there guys,
First of all, sorry about the (for you) obviously dumb questions...
I'm fully new to the MPC, I've been thinking about getting one for about 20+ years, hadn't until now.
At Reverb, a 500 popped up for a good price so I bought it.
I don't produce hip-hop, so it is not going to be my main thing, I'd like to use it as a sort of dirty, noisy drum sampler (for techno).
I've got it for about a day, loaded some samples, recorded a sequence, yet, there are two things that I can't figure out.
I've checked the manual ... boy, I've got a printed one, I literally slept with it, but, no answer...
1.
There is some annoying polyphony setting issue.
Notes are cancelling each other, yet, the sequence is really really simple, a fully normal 909 kick with 909 hats.
I've loaded the samples, kick to A1, hihat to A2, both inside the same program, Program01.
On track 1 I have the kick, on track 2 I have the hihats.
When the hihats came in, they cancel the kick.
What could be the problem?
If I add more samples to the pads and record those, it gets even worse...
2.
Is it possible to run tracks with different lengths in the same sequence?
You know, I'd live to achieve some sort of polyrhythm here.
