Hi guys,
So, I'm completely new to the MPC. I bought an MPC1000 off a friend for roughly the equivalent of $50, which is a bargain, from what I can tell. It is old and beat up, but it still works. I'm just waiting for the pad sensor upgrades and new side panels before I want to actively start using it.
It's for live use - for the last 2 years I've been using Maschine live - it's basically just to play some sampled synth parts and other samples. Even though I love Maschine and I will continue to use it, it makes more sense to use an MPC live, as it's just way easier than to carry around a laptop, sound card, USB cables, etc and to have to set them up and do a line check. Which can be a problem when you don't have a long change over.
I'm struggling with one thing though - and that is how to set up my programs to automatically load up and be in an order, so that I can just scroll through them from song to song.
At first I thought it was to do with sequence, but that's actually just a record part of music, right?
I've even tried JJ OS to see if that would be easier, but I'm still a bit lost.
Can anyone help or point me to a blog or something that might be able to assist?
Thanks so much.
