Song to seq bug

Important: When creating a song, the program used by each track in the song’s first sequence will be used by all
subsequent tracks. In other words, all identically numbered tracks (across sequences) will use the program used by
the first sequence in the song—regardless of what programs each track uses while not in Song Mode.
For example, if you create a project in this way…:
• Track 1 of Sequence 1 uses a drum program.
• Track 1 of Sequence 2 uses a keygroup program.
• A song uses Sequence 1 as its first sequence and then uses Sequence 2 any time after it.
…then, in that song, Track 1 in Sequence 2 will use the same drum program as Track 1, Sequence 1.
Because of this, we recommend trying to be consistent while creating tracks in sequences that you intend to use in a
single song. Remember that you can copy one track to another if you ever need to reorder the tracks of a sequence
(see Modes > Main Mode > Track Section to learn about this).

When a song (several sequences) gets converted to seq then what will be the track assignment?
It makes sense that the very first seq in the song chain be used as a model for track assignments when converted.

It’s been that way for several hardware MPC’s past and it’s ALWAYS tripped up peeps who don’t pay attention to track assignments.

How do you mean this? Because you can use the converted seq from the song, in a new sequence. or duplicate that sequence created from a song to a new sequence?
