track mutes

Hi All -

I'm currently using mpc2000xl and its missing a feature I wonder if anyone can tell me if the mpc2500 (with or without jjos) can do this.

Basically its to do with track mutes. The way the 2000xl works is the initial state of the track mutes are stored per sequence, which sometimes is great, but sometimes I want the track mutes to "roll over" into the next sequence. In other words whatever parts were muted or unmuted when I change sequence will remain muted or unmuted in the new sequence. Like some sort of global mute facility.

At the risk of wanting my cake and eating it - i'd also like to retain the "mutes stored per sequence" function for some of my other sequences.

Can anyone comment on how this works in any of the newer MPC range? Or indeed if there is another hardware sequencer out there that can provide this sort of functionality?


Cheers

to my knowledge the track mutes are a part of the actual sequence and there isn't a global setting... so if you have a track muted on one sequence, but not on the next, it will unmute automatically when the next sequence begins. on both the MPC1000 and MPC2500 [since you asked in both forums] you can save the "action" of muting and un-muting in a sequence, but they are individual to the sequence itself. you could always take your multiple sequences and convert them into one long sequence [in the SONG menu] and just mute them for good that way...

Hey.....

Didn't I reply on this topic already?????
