converting MPC2 into MPC3 - repeating first 2 bars

By slazengermophobe Sun Dec 21, 2025 5:03 pm
Been using MPC v3 on my Live2, and I've just started to try and load some older projects, and I'm seeing a weird bug.

When I play a sequence of say, 8 bars, it just repeats the first 2. I can see different midi notes on the playhead in grid view, but it ignores them and just repeats the notes of the first 2 bars (even though the playhead has moved on).

I have quite a few projects to import; anyone know what's up?

Yeah this is a bug. Just change the bar count up or down a number and switch it back, this fixes it. Your sequence should now play properly.

I can't confirm if it's the arranger bugging out or something else not being read properly since the arranger didn't exist in 2.xx.

This happened to me alot, I immediately noticed the bar count was wrong, changed it up/down/back/forth (up, down, up, down, b, a, b, a, select, start) and that fixed it.
