A little question

Hello everybody,

I will want know how read 2 programs simultaneously ?

I have a program with drums and an another with sample and i will want play them together.

Thanks for your help.

I don't think you can play two programs 'live' at the same time.

You can play two programs on different sequencer tracks, one can be live and/or sequenced, the other would have to be sequenced, as you can only interact with a single sequencer track at a time.

But is it possible to load a Programm (only BankA assignet) and import another one to bankB (4 example) without assigning each bankB pad for its own?

As Simon mentioned, you cannot do this 'live'. You can however do what you are asking for sequencing. When U select a Track, you also select which program it uses, from the Program box below Track.

In software you click the dropdown for Program. On hardware, you highlight the program and click WINDOW button, to change Track's Program.

i dont know what exactly the starter of the topic ment, but my question is more about creating or editing the programm, less about the live play.....

when i load a program, for example from factory content, there are samples placed on bank a.
now lets say, i have another program where i have placed samples on bank a to.

so i have two programs with different samples on bank a.

Now i can play program1 on track1 and program2 on track2, thats clear.

Different way, is to load both programs, go to track1 and change program1, by assign bank b sample for sample and pad for pad. So i can bring bank a from program 2 to bank b on program1.
My question is, is there a possibility to do that steps easier...not assigning each sample for its own....

hope u understand? my english is not the best

no this cannot be currently done. it would be a good feature imo, because you could set up really big programs with enough samples, loops and drum kits for a really tight live performances.

i've been wanting this since i got the ren, it would probably be simple enough to do with some kind of scripting language like python, since individual program files are just plain text files with all the information on how the pads are set up, a small little script should be able to combine mpc drum patches. assuming both programs have 16 samples each, one of the programs (the one to be merged) just needs to be truncated, then the pad number values and possibly other values that i can't think of would just have to be incremented by 16, then that altered block of text could be merged into the original program.

i'll go post this on akai community or something, but maybe something like this is outside the scope of the mpc software. it's something that a competent program could probably do very quickly, especially one who is working on the software, but the files are all there for anyone to read... maybe after i finish mastering some of my work i'll take a crack at it with python but it's been years since i've done any programming, and i was barely at a hobbyist level back then...

** i don't mean like it on facebook. don't do that.

U got both for this...like and comment
