I would like to send programme change messages to my drum machine within a sequence as I used to with the MPC1000 using list editor. Despite updating to 2.0.5, I still cannot figure out how to send programme changes..... List editor just shows programme :shock: :shock: changes as blank... Any ideas or have Akai not implemented this as yet?

Also, Im not able to assign MMC messages to notes or pads...for being excuted by external pads...awesome...

All you can do is send your suggestions via the software.

This is the thing…the MPC is a great device for making sample-based music, but there's many features (that you'd find basic stuff) lacking.
They have tons of work to do.

Due to the lack of basic features of the MPC Live, I decided to buy a Midi Solutions "Event Processor". This device transform any incoming midi message to another automatically. My purpose is to transforms midi notes into MMC messages to be sent into the MPC live.

I have enabled "Receive MMC" in my MPC Live Sync Options, but nothing happens when MMC START-STOP messages are received by the MPC.

I have tested the same thing with my MPC1000 (same configuration of the "event processor") and everything works just like I wanted.

My point is... Is my MPC Live working wrong? Is there something basic that I'm forgetting?

I'm desperated... Could anybody bring me some light?
