Okay I recorded a sequence that is more than 3 bars but less than 4 bars in length. The sequence involves 3 samples played one after another. When I play the seq after I record it it has like a 1-2 sec gap of silence inbetween the loop, when the seq actually ends and when the 4 bars ends. I tried playing with the tempo but that makes the samples run together and overlap. How do I cut that 1-2 sec gap so the loop runs smoothly. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure, maybe someone can confirm this, but I think you have to change the time signature (Tsig on the MP), correct?

is it tight with the click? if it is just adjust the time signature for the 3rd bar accordingly.

You could also try every MPC-head's favorite practice of chopping samples. It gives you a little more flexibility when sequencing.

That's what I did. I chop all my samples. Ill have to try the tsig. I dont really know how it works though but ill mess with it.
