Heyho!
I'm new to the Mpc series (i've got the mpc one) and after diving the manual and watching a lot of tutorials i still find myself struggeling with one issue. Maybe someone can help me out at this place!
After creating songs, sequence after sequence, i now want to prepare them for live performances,
by using the mutetracks function.
For example:
On Pad one i got: "Drums one" (just a kickdrum)
one row above on Pad five: "Drums two" (with the same kickdrums but also with Hihats in between)
Until this point everything works fine, but now the problem:
On Pad two i put a midi track "melody 1" triggering my synth on midi-channel 16 and create a program which i call "program 1", which should play the midi-program-channel #1. (On my synth channel 1 says, that it should play Squarewaves, with the filter cutoff set to 0, so i can turn it up slowly till the the synth played the last midi-note)
After that i want to mute pad two while unmuting pad six -the same hardware synth should now play another melody and for example sawtooth waves, the filter set to 127.
So i put another midi-track "melody 2", with another melody on it on pad six, sending the notes to my synth which still is on channel 16. I create another program "program 2" which now should play midi-program-channel #2 (which on my synth says, that it now should play sawtooth instead of squares, the filter-cutoff set to 127.
Unfortunately it doesn't work like i expected. Instead of playing different program-channels on my synth, depending on which track i unmuted, they both still play the same program-channel.
Maybe this doesn't work to avoid that the mpc tells the synth two play different program-channels at the same time, when both tracks are unmuted. i dont want my synth to explode (any my mpc neighter ; ) but i wonder if there's a workaround for this / if i overlooked something.
Hope i could explain my issue (and the way i want to play music life) good enough so you can understand it, since my english isn't that well.
Any help appreciated!
