Hello to everybody in the MPC forums community!
I'm currently playing with a MPC Studio mk2 and I have somme issues with the step sequencer mode, and I was wondering if I was in front of some bugs or something I didn't get...
First thing, I want to use my Studio mk2 to enter the notes in the step sequencer with a sequence having the default size of 32 notes / 2 bars. I can't find any way to navigate between the first 16 steps and the last 16 steps using only the controller. I can do in MPC Software by selecting the current bar index entry though. I thought that using the pad bank buttons would help, but the first one is always on and nothing happens if I push the other ones. Do you know a way to navigate between the bars using only the controller buttons?
Second remark, again with the step sequencer, when I want to select the pad that is edited, for example the kick on A01, I need to use the shift button, select the pad I want, and release the shift button, so I can see the steps currently enabled on the 16 pads for that kick. Now, let's say I want to do the same with the pad A15. I do the same thing than before, no problem. And now, let's say I want to do it for B01. Since the shift button is being pushed, pushing the B pad bank button will enable the F bank instead, and so I can't have any access to the B, C, and D pad banks using the controller only! Is there a way to do that without using the mouse and the keyboard, or is it a bug / a feature miss?
Thanks in advance!
