step recording problems, please help

With the mpc 2000 you can go into the step edit mode and choose where in the sequence you want to place a sound and place the sound by pressing the pad with the sound on it.

In the mpc 1000 it seems as if you have to press insert everytime???

is there a quicker way to do this without pressing insert, because just pressing the pad at that time does not work.

Thanks for any and all help...........

I don't know if it's the best way, but it's the way I do :

I insert a note once, choose the pad (why can't I just hit the desired pad here??) and adjust velocity etc, then copy this event, go to the next position I want to have this event and insert it there. if I want to have different settings for each event (eg different velocity for each note) I go through the events after and adjust them again.

it works fine and very quick for basic stuff like a kick on each quarter or other events with the same settings, but if you want to insert each time something completely different, this wouldn't be a good solution...

I don't know if there are better solutions, let's wait for further posts!

aaah, I remember there's still another way described in the manual for inserting events on periodic positions, but I haven't tried it so far...

You could always record a seperate track, quantize it, etc. Then merge it into the track you want everything in.

just adjust the time(in the upper left) to the exact moment you want the sound at, press and hold over dub, then press the sound. tell me if it worked for you. i'm quite sure it has for me

Thanks all...shit is ill!

you dont need to press record on the 2000xl so I just didnt think about it. Good lookin', sh*t is crackin!

dont have to hold overdub just press it
