Hello,

Sometimes, I don't understand the MPC Live.

I tried to write a sequence via the step sequencer mode. It's handy because you can choose the sample you want (via shift + pad) and then set a hit on a specific step.

But I failed at changing banks. When I hit "Bank A", it says "Bank A", but when I hit "Bank B, C, or D" it still pops a "Bank A". The problem does not happen with Bank E, F, G H.

By the way, I also noticed that double tapping Bank A, B, C or D does not switch to the resp. Bank E, F, G, H.

Am I missing something, or...?

It's frustrating because it's a machine that I almost didn't touch since I owned it in 2018. Each time I plan to sell it there's a little angel over my shoulder that says "Who knows, it may suit your needs someday". Because yes, the MPC can do a loooooot of things and I'm not sure how to replace it, or simply if I need it.

Thank you.
