Convert song to sequence - how to retain audio tracks?

Hi,

when a song is being converted to a sequence (v 4.99), only the first occurrence of an audio track is being copied. I guess this is a limitation due to the nature of the audio tracks, they cannot repeat audio schnipsels and the "convert" process is unable to insert a new audio track which is a merge of the original audio tracks.

Can somebody give me a hint how to work around this? I want to create some patterns, record some bass for the patterns, create a song, convert it to a sequence and add vocals and guitars as audio tracks that span the whole song.

TIA for any hints!

best way i can imagine this done as of now is this:

1 - do everything as normal

2 - convert your song to a sequence

3 - make note of the bar/beat position of all audio tracks used in your original sequences additively (usually X.01.00)

4 - re-assign your audio tracks across a span of multiple tracks in your new 1 sequence song based on their additive bar/beat position.

even if you have 8 audiotracks, this process shouldn't take too long to do and bypasses the song-audiotrack limit very nicely.

a workaround is to create a program with your audio tracks inside.

Thanks Nym an Le Rat, I will try the program approach. I guess in the end I don't get away without uploading my shit to my notebook and record the missing parts in cubase. I was hoping that I can do almost anything with the mpc but on the other hand I knew from the start that the mpc is much less a "music production system" than a damn good beatbox. Fixing two more wheels to the motorbike like the JJ OS does still does'nt make it a car.

yeah, an mpc1000 is like a band - drummer, X player and Y player
no matter how good they sound in the garage they could still benefit from further processing in a more appropriately dedicated environment
