Hi there, I'm not new to the forum 'caus it helped me a lot already, but decided to register now çaus I have a 'problem' I can't get around easily and hope for a better solution.
I use the MPC500 with a Bass Station2 but when I record (midi) from the BS2 to MPC500 (both midi cables connected) It also records/triggers the samples from the MPC500 during the recording (and playback) of the (midi)notes I play(ed) on the BS2. They trigger simultanously. I use an empty track, no sample assigned to this track/pad, set it to MIDI instead of DRUM and choose the right midi channel on both machines. MPC set to master of slave doesn't matter.
Tried all the settings in the midi settings (receive all or a specific, soft trough, etc), program settings on the MPC and BS2. Set track to midi/drum, assign midichannel or not, etc. No luck so far avoiding the problem.
I figured out it has something to do with the note assigment in the program of the MPC500. Of course if I change the note of a pad to a note I'm not playing on the BS2, it doesn't trigger the sample on the MPC. But if I change the note assigment in a existing sequence/program on the MPC to avoid the problem, the sample doesn't play anymore. So that's kind of annoying. And Of course I hope there is a better way.
The main question (padaboom):
How can I record my lines from the BS2 onto the MPC for later playback (or live looping shizzles) without triggering the samples assigned to (other) pads without the hassle of finding 'a' note I'm not gonna touch of the BS2. By the way the pads that have samples on them are set to DRUM and have no midi channel assigment.
I hope this made sense to anyone, because if I solve this I'm back in to MPC500 'Blissness'
