Hi everyone !

I have a MPC Live 2 and I'm struggling hard to find a solution : the goal was to get rid of any computer and Ableton on stage. What I need to do is, for each of my band's songs, to have several tracks playing along + 2 midi tracks sending MIDI to 2 synthesizers hooked up to the MPC Live 2.
The problem is I can't figure out how to get this done.
For each songs, I have between 1 and 4 audio tracks .wav prepared, and 2 midi tracks. Is it even possible to get the MPC live 2 to play a whole MIDI track (of around 4mns for example) to send it via MIDI to one of the synth ?
I'm sorry if this question seems trivial, but it had me kept awake for several days now :Sigh:

Thanks in advance for your help :worthy:

Yes you can do all that but the number of tracks you can load is limited because MPC lacks of Disk streaming and tracks are loaded into RAM..
Here’s an excellent and informative reference from our own MPC-Tutor on how the MPC’s handle RAM:
