How to create chord progressions on mpc live?

Hey guys how can turn a midi track into a chord progression on mpc live?
Can it only be done in software?
If so how can it be transferred into the live standalone?

Thanks a lot!

[menu]
right hand column
"Pad Performance"
There you have the option to set different types of chords, etc.

Converting a MIDI track to a progression file can only be done in the computer. I don't think it's currently possible to transfer custom progressions to the standalone as we don't have access to the internal drive (and may never have it).

More to add to the list of missing 'standalone' features.

I need to check, it may be that progressions run with a project -- I have a set for one of my projects, and thought I saw them on the version I copied to my SSD drive. At work now, so can't be certain.....
It would definitely suck if those got lost.

But yeah, the process of creating them "in the day" on V 1.9.x was pretty simple with a MIDI file.

Progressions are stored in a separate 'Progressions' folder alongside the expansions 'Content' folders all within the MPC's application support folders, they are not stored with the projects.

Yep -- took a look at my project. It's progressions are not on the stand-alone version. That sucks.

Any update on this? I figured out that Progressions can be created on the Standalone and they're stored on the disk, but I can't load them into Pad Perform Mode.

Make sure you rename it before you save. I don't think "Progression 768" Shows in the standalone browser even under "other". Its best to give it a separator and a name. Example, Name- Progression 768
