I haven't been able to find a topic related to this making me think it's a feature of the mpc i am missing, or maybe my machine is ****..
My problem is, when I copy paste sequences together into a song the note events don't play or loop. You can sometimes hear it start for a second and then silent again, it's really starting to demoralize me since I've heard all praise about this machine and I've had it for 3 months and I still keep running into this problem ,causing me to leave before i can craft anything worthy of listening to. Lol.
This doesn't just happen with songs, I've had single sequences try to loop back only to cut after playing one time. It will play fully on play start, then on the second time it plays for a split second then silence. And when it keeps looping it just plays that split second over and over again not the original sequence I want looped. Either way, I cannot find anything on this so maybe im just **** stupid or missing something or maybe its my machine. I looked into the manual and didn't find anything about auto muting sequences or timing correct being responsible or anything like that.
To better understand I will link a youtube video highlighting this issue with two sequences exactly the same running in song loop.
I have tried messing around with Seq Edit and step edit with some success. If I move the second sequence about a second over from where the note event originally is, I can get the sequences to play correctly for one loop (so 6 bars, two 3 bar sequences) BUT when it loops again it does the same split second playing and then abrupt silence again. So even when I can get the two sequences to play correctly, it only does it once but when it loops back again it plays for half a second and then silence. This is by far the biggest problem i've ran into and the only one I can't seem to find any research or forum posts on. I really hope my machine isn't trashed and I'm just being stupid again.
In the video, I have two sequences and this only highlights the issue of sequences lined up in song mode but not playing. I can post a video of the sequences working but cutting after looping if needed
