Hey everyone,

some things I'm wondering about:

1 - How to actually export as an Ableton Live Set (.als) file?
In the V2.13 Manual on page 443 it says:
1. To export the current sequence as an Ableton Live Set.
2. Open Main Mode by pressing Main, or by pressing Menu and then tapping Main.
3. Tap the Project field at the top of the display to open the Project window.
But nothing happens if I tap on my Project Name at the top of the display! The manual must be wrong there.

2 - Can I insert tracks or reorder tracks somehow in the main window or in the track view?

3 - If recording external midi I sometimes get some Double Notes. Is there a dedicated function to delete those?

Thanks in advance!

Manual is indeed incorrect (well, out dated). You now go to:

MENU> SAVE > Ableton Live Set

Track re-ordering not possible (popular feature request). You cannot 'insert' tracks either. If you need to, say move track 5 to where track 3 is, you have to copy track 3 somewhere else and then copy track 5 over track 3 and then delete the original track 5 ..... you get the point, it's a PITA (the Force can reorder tracks, so there is hope).

No 'delete duplicate notes' function. Perhaps you have an issue with pad sensitivity, maybe mess with the pad settings in preferences, but you might just need to adjust your technique. That said, some MPCs are more prone to double hits, my MPC One is a nightmare for it, and the MPC Key 37 has the same pads at the MPC One.

Project Window: I agree - the manual is wrong.
On my MPC One+ I get to the Project Window by hitting a tab (PROJECT) at the bottom of the MENU page.
