Hello,
I'm running JJos2 on a MPC1000 and tough I don't have a manual for it or for the MPC, I'm finding it extremely intuitive to use, however I need some help on a few points:

1 - In mixer mode if I press after and move the qlink, one slider will move the pan bar and one the volume, but these changes do not seem to affect the track, while if I change the level with the dial, they work no problem. Is it a bug or am I missing something? For additional info, I set the levels from the "new" mixer (mode+pad 4)

2- Can I have tracks of different lenght in the same sequence? For example a program/drum long 2 bars and an audio recording long 8 or much more?

3- What is the extra audio tab for? (from the main window SHIFT + func 5 [maybe 6])?

4- How can I play a midi track from the pads while recording the result on a new Audio track?

5- Grid mode: can I program a beat in step time while playing?

From the questions above, do you reckon I should upgrade to JJos XL?
What are the main differences?

Thanks for the help

Have you checked the updated manual in the sticky? You can step sequence beats while playing; in a drum track press main then window. ;)

I tried the manual but that does not cover any of my questions, as for the drum track, I meant a different thing, I was wondering if I can program a pattern in step time, while the same pattern is being played, so far I can only do it if I record a pattern

Right. I haven't gone throught it yet but i thought number 3 would be covered as it's part of jjos. :?

For number two i don't think it's possible within the sequence but i was wondering the same thing. Can you use simult sequence to play tracks of different lengths? I was gonna try it out yesterday but got sidetracked.
