SONG mode trouble

I have my samples on one program, and my drums on another

when trying to put the sequences together in SONG mode, I made a little intro with the just samples (2 bars)

and in the next sequence I have my beat drop, with the samples and drums and everything

when I put em together and it drops going into the 2nd SEQ, everything is there but my kick drum is missing

I can't figure out why... any ideas?

so my playing sample in the drop SEQ was on TRACK 8 and I put it on MIDI CH. 8

on the intro SEQ I then went to TRACK 8 and MIDI CH. 8 and layed only the sample (I had it on TRACK 1 before)

I believe I did what you said because it worked

previously I had no MIDI channels set and the samples on different tracks in the different sequences

but on another sequence for the hell of it I had the playing sample on TRACK 7 and MIDI Ch. 7

and when in SONG mode it worked fine.... wouldn't I have have to have it on 8?

synth = midi channel 1
horns = midi channel 2
tomtom = midi channel 3
piano = midi channel 4
tuba = midi channel 5
bassline = midi channel 6
guitar = midi channel 7
rhodes = midi channel 8

Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 1 midi channel 1 for tr synth recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 2 midi channel 2 for tr horns recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 3 midi channel 3 for tr tomtom recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 4 midi channel 4 for tr piano recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 5 midi channel 5 for tr tuba recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 6 midi channel 6 for tr bassline recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 7 midi channel 7 for tr guitar recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 8 midi channel 8 for tr rhodes recording

Also..this if/when you decide to convert song to seq later on.

MPC's will read your tracks assignments ONLY from the first seq in your song list.
So you'll need to have all seq's and all tracks line up exactly the same.

example

SEQ1, TRK1=SYNTH, TRK2=HORN, TRK3=TOMS, TRK4=PIANO, TRK5=TUBA, TRK6=BASSLINE, TRK7=GUITAR, TRK8=RHODES

SEQ2, TRK1=SYNTH, TRK2=HORN, TRK3=TOMS, TRK4=PIANO, TRK5=TUBA, TRK6=BASSLINE, TRK7=GUITAR, TRK8=RHODES

SEQ3, TRK1=SYNTH, TRK2=HORN, TRK3=TOMS, TRK4=PIANO, TRK5=TUBA, TRK6=BASSLINE, TRK7=GUITAR, TRK8=RHODES

SEQ4, TRK1=SYNTH, TRK2=HORN, TRK3=TOMS, TRK4=PIANO, TRK5=TUBA, TRK6=BASSLINE, TRK7=GUITAR, TRK8=RHODES

This way, the mpc will read the very first seq and track assignments and convert through
all the following seqs/trks with no problem.
