Hi guys! ...maybe you could bring me some light...

I need to trigger PLAY START amd STOP functions from an external Pad (Octapad SP30) and I'm not able to do it...

I came from an MPC1000 with the JJOSXL and I buyed the Live trusting that I could do the same functions with the Live in my band...we launch sequences with the octapad. I think that Octapad can't send MMC messages but with my old MPC1000 I could assign Star-Stop functions to pads and do the same.

Do you know how I could send Start-Stop orders through MIDI in of the MPC Live?

Thank you in advance...

P.D. I think that it is impossible by the moment to writte Program changes in a sequence... Do you know if theres a away to do it? (new List Edit Mode is not powerful enough to edit ProgCh events)

I also wanted to say that, I have tested that my MPC Live doesnt receive MMC messages...

I'm using a MIDI solutions Event Processor, to tranform external notes to MMC messages... I have sent MMC Start-stop messages to my MPC1000 with the Event Processor and it works Ok, but doing the same with the MPC Live doesn't work....(REceive MMC is enable in the Live SYnc Options)

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