Well to be exact im not sure,ive learned about pad mutes thru tapping the pads but i did not know you could link them..Am i understanding this correctly? You can link mutes somehow together? :?

okay, you know how you can set up a single pad to mute 2 other pads?

well what i used to do was i would set up a pad that wasn't being used to do the muting if needed... though the other thing was talking about something similar but more complex...


basically

pad 1 mutes pads 11 and 12
pad 2 mutes pads 13 and 14
pad 3 mutes pads 15 and 16
then pad 4 triggers pads 1, 2 and 3... essentially that leads to also muting 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16...

okay this may not be exact because I never actually went that far but that is what was mentioned earlier basically.

trim your sample end points... or chop more...


there is no way with 4 programs that you can't make it work out.

mpc hacking at it's finest!

Great tip.


well someone else kinda mentioned something and that is what I sort of figured he meant... I never tried doing that personally but I am sure it would work.

1. Set all your pads to Note Off
2. Press and hold down the pad with the sound you want to hear/sequence assigned to it
3. When you want the sound to stop, release your finger from the pad rapidly

I use one hand and am used to it so this makes it very hard to be seemless. I found if I do this, switch things back to mono, then do the mutes, it's the easiest.

Instead of switching to mono, go into step edit and use length to make it seamless.
