Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Hey

i have been digging here and there, could not find the answer :

i hit play start key, sequence plays.
if i hit it again, nothing happens, it just continues playing, but i would like the sequence to start again from the beginning.
i used to do this with mpc 1000 for cool intros.
can do it on 4K with stop/play start at the same time but not very convenient.
in the global page, start play can be set on top or loop, but it won't change anything to me.

any ideas ?

thx

are you talking about juggling the beat?

seems like you could sample your sequence internally from the 4k and throw it on a pad. then juggle that way.

not sure if thats what you wanna do though....

sort of
when i don t feel like using song mode, i just like to play like that with a sequence (as an intro or transition) then let the sequence play, and switch from one to another, play again with play start key etc
it just gives a human touch to the whole stuff
