sending each track out on its own stereo signal?

I could not find anything on this in the manual. I know that in hd recording mode you can asign tracks to there own designated output. Can you also do this in sequence mode? If so how?

The hard disk has an audio mixer for its 8 tracks. These can be sent to the MPCs 10 analog or digital outpouts.

There are two additional mixers in the MPC 5000. We have the Program Mixer and Track Mixer. The program mixer is an audio mixer. It has the same controls/parameters as the hard disk mixer. The track mixer is a MIDI mixer for internal programs and external devices. You can only control the level and pan of each track.

sorry to sound naive, but how would I go about accessing the tracks output in sequence mode? I see where I can get into the mixer I just dont see where there is an option to say I want track 1 to only send signal through output 1. I have a digi 03 and I want to be able to use PT8 to apply additional eqs while Im making a song. I just purchased the MPC a few days ago.thanks.

P.s
I did have the 2000xl but never had 8 outs.

I wrote above that there is no option to send the output of track 1 anywhere. It is just a MIDI mixer in the current OS. You have to use the Program Mixer to route audio to individual outputs. You can select one or more sounds to any individual output. You can also route all the sounds to the same output.

your the man. Thanks for the prompt follow up. I was aware of the midi routing, and now I understand the program routing. Does anyone know if the new os 2 will have track routing?

It doesn't appear OS 2.0 will have track routing.

You will have to use program routing. Since you can only have one program to a track, setting every pad in a program to the same output produces the same result as track routing.

Can you set the outputs at the program level or do you need to select each pad?

You can use SHIFT + PAD to select one or more pads for global changes to output assignment. You can also use SHIFT + Bank button to select all the pads in a bank.

Not without having to make clones of your programs.
You end up with dups because each track you want to route would need a variant of the program with the routing difference.
With track routing you just say this track goes to this out regardless of what program is assigned to it.

This is no debate. I agree that having a track mixer would make things easier. This was added to the feature request thread awhile back. For now, the track mixer is a MIDI mixer with Volume and Pan controls only.

The easy work-around is to use the copy program function. It will copy your program and automatically name it for you. Since it uses the same samples it doesn't take up much memory. Assign these programs to different tracks and proceed as I wrote above.

Cool I was just clarifying for others who might not have understood the workaround requirement.
It is no doubt the most efficient way to route things.
Maybe v2.5

I almost got sick when i realised this at first. I felt like stepping backwards after finishing several beats and trying to track them out to my DAW. I was and am still disapppointed.

Askia just a question,

Let's suppose I have a stereo kick or sample in my beat and I track it out to out 1. When I record it to my DAW it will be recorded as one chanel onlly (mono), right? Is there any how I can send eack track as a stereo just like it sounds when it is coming directly from the stereo outs on the MPC?

wow this is BS everytime i ask this same question on this forum i get flammed for not doing enough research on my own. n this guy get direct and immediate answers n i get the go around... i guess its my fault for not wording it right or something. but at least i found my answer... thanks alot.
