Hello,

I choose to arm multiple tracks of a sequence to be able to trigger multiple Key groups at the same time (with different midi channels)
Unfortunately, these selected tracks don't seem to be saved so I have to re-arm them everytime I open my Live.

Somebody has a solution for me ?

Thanks a lot

If , like me, it's for live playing with no recording, don't arm tracks, just put MONITOR options to "in" or "merge" on the desired tracks to be able to play them, the project saves them. For recording, no other way than arm and re-arm then :(

to arm and record multiple lanes you have to hold shift down and press the rec arm button in each lane in the track window. just turning on "merge" will only allow you to *hear* them in unison not *record*.

Ahaha no sorry don't play acid but some projects

-cumbia and Latin music ( where in use the mpc as expander and fx on stage ) CUMBIA CHICHARRA

- Electronic funk and popsongs ( mpc as drummer and sequencer )
JAWOHL MI AMOR

- weird electronic modular and Dance of outer times with acoustiqued samples+ analog synths ( MPC as portable sketchpad, main sequencer , sound design )

SURFER D ARGILE

I'm considering making more acid in my lab but I'm too old to chemicals :)

Did you ever listen to the incredible "Cumbia Chicharra " from Marseille/ FR) ?? !!!
I actually tour ( between each Corona's variants ) with my MPC live as expander , and a good midi Keyboard with 2.10.1 Global mapping hack by KIKGEN to have lot more hands on workflow

.
playing Hohner Corona 3 accordion on this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go4ON5NpcTs
Cumbiaaa

On this one playing MPC Live 1 ( home-made mouth harp kit, played with pads and some weird keygroup made from my turkish reed flute)

I pay a beer if you can name the others 2 analog synthesizer (one vintage, one not) and 1 legendary funk keyboard used... The result is some kind of "too much balkan and Egypt, but let's have a drink "

OFF TOPIC off ..using the MPC this "fx box- keygroups program" way is really funny and drives other ideas for beat making.
