Sorry if this has been asked of if it's in the MPC Bible. I haven't purchased version 3.0 yet. I was wondering, is there a way to affect multiple pads at once on the MPC when you're tweaking the warp/bpm of samples? Similar to how on the SP 404 mk2 you can add a bunch of pads to a mute group, then use a pad shortcut to alter all of their bpms, etc at once. Thanks in advance for helpful replies: :worthy:

Remember to turn off "Select All" when your done or you may end up editing everything. :WTF:
:idea: They should have something to indicate that you're in Edit-All mode & or a way to revert your Select-All edits.

Yep I’ve done that so many times. The worst is when I edited the start points of a non destructive chopped sample

Yeah, happens to everyone. That's why I wanted them to have some kind of sample lock, so that these won't be effected unless you unlock them first or they give you a warring that some samples are locked & ask "Do you want to override?" That would be so helpful.

Or. Or.
People can just remember, write down, annotate what they are doing.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve forgotten the select all many times and pretty sure it will happen again. It’s on me to remember.

"Just remember" :|
Writing things like that down would be a major flow killer & it don't stop you from forgetting Select All is on when you're in & out of menus. Yeah it's on us to remember, but that's only because Akai set it up this way. It's also up to us to point out issues & offer suggestions to help them make improvements. They gotta come up with a better system... &, & if they do you can't use it. Nah, keep on just remembering & note taking. :lol: :mrgreen:
