in the 2000xl, how do i add another bar to the count in metronome? i'm doubling my bpm and bars looped while using 1/8 time correct with 67% swing. an sp12 trick that sounds pretty nice on the mpc. well, the double time messes my timing up with only a one bar count in. also how do i save the auto correct and swing settings? when i load my saved seq, it goes back to the default 1/16 with 50% swing. thanks much.....

Change the metronome to maybe help your timing.

APS and ALL. The manual tells you what saves what.

that's what i'm saying, how do i change the metronome? i have the manual but haven't found anything about adding another bar (measure) to the count in's one bar. just how to turn it on/off and what clicks it will hit on, not how to add bars. basically i start hitting pads a bar after i should. i count in my head another bar before start. i guess its how i'm programed in the head tryn to make it fit and sound right at double time. i need two bars at this double time to count in for myself. sounds ok when looped, but not when started from the begining like in song mode when you switch from seq to seq. from the begining of the seq it actually starts with the end bar of the whole loop. also i try to save all and whatever, but when i load again my swing auto correct goes back to default. i can't find this in the manual either.
