Could this be done with an upgrade?

The MPC4K has one of the sweetest MIDI sequencers around...now how about adding an an arpeggiator to it?

Sampling or synth oscillater

instead of an arp why not update the step sequencer to trigger notes, one q link could be pitch, one duration, another velocity, ect then you can program your own arps

cant you do that with some cc#?

i remember that the triton can do it. but i dont remember how^^.

I have synth that have ARPs and I just record those in my MPC 4000 and then
can apply that midi data to any instrument.

If it was internal on the MPC, then that would be a nice feature. I can live without it,
but I would CERTAINLY use it if it was included. The Yamaha RM1X has it, so
slower processor's shoud be possible.

This is alright for programming in your Arp, but if you want to play an Arp live
for example, it's not an option, by seleting a chord and then having it Arpegiate through
it.

So that would be one reason that you might
not want to use the Qlink method.

i think it would be cool if you could use it "note repeat button" style.

basically more adjust ments in note repeat.

Several things learn the midi sync in Program edit 2 page with the note values and you can do some pretty nifty programming in the sequence, learn the ext control parameter in the program modulation page with a source and you can connect with qlink to modulate with the T/C value. The mpc is a sampler not a synth with osillators so just connect midi to your keyboard and make appregs from there. It is possible to sequence this if you have the patience and time. It`s all in the reference manual. Time and practice is all it takes.

yeah, on the triton, i sequenced out a hihat pattern on track 1. Then on track two i inserted a cc midi event, and controled track 1. Next on track 3, i used it to "modulate?"-control the next patch. Basically what happened is that every key i pressed on track 3, it sounded like the hihat pattern i programmed on track 1, just like an arpegiator.
