Hope I can convey this idea clearly... wondering if there's any way to play each step in a sequence of MIDI notes/chords with a single pad or external MIDI controller like a drum pad? I.e., if you hit a pad repeatedly, it would play each note/chord in succession.

Closest example I can think of is the "Layer Play > Cycle" feature in a Drum Track, which is limited to 4 samples per pad.

Thanks!

MPC3’s Slice Motion feature lets you do this with as many regions as you like.

Ooooh this sounds exactly like what I’m trying to do! Thanks!

Was messing around last night and finally encountered bugs in 3 that were messing up my flow. Or maybe it’s a skill issue lol
