and I'd second that. I would love to know how this is done WITHOUT using the sequencer...
I asked how it was done on the mpc1000 a while ago and in between all the ("RTFMs dude'" - yeah you're a REAL guru
) a couple of people were kind enough to help, and sure enough the solution worked. It wasn't documented - and even ppl on the board were surprised that it worked.
Basically what this bloke is asking (if I have my facts right) is exactly the same thing and it is NOT in the manual.
In any case - I took the solution offered on the mpc 1000 (which worked fine) and tried the same thing on the mpc 500 with no luck.
So if there are any mpc500 ppl out there who know how to loop a sample pad WITHOUT using the sequencer and WITHOUT having to hold the pad down - and have the other samples playable (but not looping) it would be appreciated if you'd post it.
thanks
