Hey everybody

I bought the MPC as an addition to my band that i could play live while playing my guitar. The pads make it easy for me to lock synth leads and other cool noise and nonsense.

My problem is this, whenever I save my project, the key signature of the pads stays does not save. If i start the mpc they start in the default key which is A, and any time i change it for a specific song, once I open a project for a new song the previous key is carried over.

On another note the octave up and down seem super jank, sometimes octave won't go down and i have to press up till it goes all the way around, which again makes song prep frustrating cause I can't just load my project and be ready to play.

I'd like to be able to load a project for live performance and have it ready to go. Are there any workaround for this? Ive tried saving my projects in set lists which makes loading a little easier but still not carrying my key over. Any other save options to quickly and seemlessly switch between sounds/samples/presets etc?

Any insight would be awesome thank you

unfortunaly, i can confirm that this is not possible to save the configurations of the key signatures of pads in the projects :-/

I would like to save my progressions of chords with each sequences. Not possible either.
I also use MPC to play live.

Sorry
