I have always used next seq as an abrupt next seq change, not like in the vid.


In short, play your seq’s out live in next seq and that performance seq order gets placed into song mode.

I still see them as 2 diff modes, that’s just me.


This is why I don't understand why, people are asking for the Force song mode. I guess RTM would be perfect for this situation. :lol:


It doesn’t seem that the mpc records “the sudden button press”. So still a great feature for the mpc and could also benefit for the forces version.

I spent the last 2-3 hours with my MPC LIVE & UNO DRUM & I must say I am disappointed by SONG MODE. It just doesn’t feel much more advanced than my old MPC1K with JJOS.


SONG MODE does not
NOT respond to PADS
NOT have a live record option
when you convert the song into 1 sequence it take the TEMPO from the 1st pattern/sequence.
b/c a sequence ONLY allows 1 TEMPO


Thank you everybody for the quick responses; I imagine this is where the AKAI FORCE comes in. I luv the all-in-1 box concept.
