Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Well I made a beat and produced 3 sequences before layering the drums down..

I made a drum track on sequence 01 and want to know if I can copy that drum track to sequence 02..

Actually *copying* the track only produces the same track within the same sequence..

Dont even ask... because I HAVE looked at the reference manual..

SO..

How do I copy track 01 from sequence 01 to the other sequences?

A) I dont have a 4000, but Im SURE its in the manual.
B) This is easily done in Sequence edit mode.

on the mpc2500 its MODE+PAD13.
you choose the bars from and to that you wanna copy, FROM which seq and which track TO which seq and which track.
Simple

On the 4000, its the V key/Seq Edit.

Refer to the manual for questions.

you can just copy the data of the source track to the clipboard - then paste from the clipboard into any destination track. (with option to merge or replace)

Just make sure that the destination track has the same output settings as the source track. (in the main screen).

yep, but it would be handier if you could copy all settings from one track of sequence A to another track in another sequence (B) - this is standard behaviour in (all?) other HW sequencers (even in MPC2500...)

// correct : this can (all-most) be done through the seq.edit - copy to function...
