Tony Banks & mpc

Dear experts,
i have a newbee question for the sounds of Genesis and Tony Banks which i have to produce with my new mpc61.

Which sounds of the 6000 mpc i have to proof?
Tony's B3 could be done with the "organ"-preset. His Mellotron i found some sounds in FabricXL which aare very close.

What about the unbelievable sound of the ProSoloist (Trumpet). Do you have any suggestions? I struggled with hours to hear all the sounds of the mpc and i conserved some of them in the favourites. but i am not really save with my decisions.

I saved a sequence using a splitted manual (base on the first two octaves and some Pads on the discant).
In our prog rock-team i have to do base and keys together ...

When i am switching from Sequence 01 to Sequence 02 the two armed sounds (with shift and the red button) are separated and i have to turn the second sound manually by hitting shift and the red button ON. How to switch between Seqence 01 and Seqence 02 only with the dialer?

How can i lay Seqence 01 to one of the pads and Seqence 02 to another pad, so that i can quickly change the sounds? Can i avoid the silence between the change of sounds (like it is done in nord electro)?

Sorry for this simple questions ...

Could you help?
Thanks in advance!!

Pit

any suggestions to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance!

I am not 100% sure what your question is.

You can only have 8 Plugins simultanously.

Its not clear to me how you split the keyboard tbh.
Is your question how to keep more than one track armed when switching sequnces?

Are you aware there is also a Mellotron plugin?

There is a nice synth trumpet in Hype in Leads soft (?) I believe, but I have no idea how the Arp Soloist sounds.

Exactly:
How can i keep more than one track armed when switching sequences?

Later, Peter

In MPC2, the arm and mute states are maintained per sequence. This allows you to change the instrument arrangement by switching sequences. (Unfortunately, this is no longer possible in MPC3...)
