anybody here ever make a beat on the 4k that they think is hot then hit program while the beat is playing and the beat changes to something even better? i dunno if its just me but it happens alot while im searching thru samples i loaded up? normally for me the drum pattern changes to instruments i loaded up but not in the sequence ,i wish i know a way to record it but it only plays like that when im in program mode once i go back to main screen it goes back to the original beat

Beast changes in program mode


Oh, and btw, how is that beast that came with your 4k, is he pretty rough?

I mean if he's like a camelion and only changes in program mode, then I'd say you've got you one heck of a mean machine there.

Damn you guys are animals...I just got my 4000 and got that shit working right, the best MPC hands down and I owned alot of MPC's including the 3000 and I must say I am impressed with this model overall, it has a nice groove it reminds me of the 3000 alot, but I know yall are beasts with the 4000's I hope to become half as good as any of you...Forreals.

This guy had a similar issue, refer to the answer I gave him to see if that's the cause.
