can any model of MPC do this?

does any model of MPC let you scroll through your sounds & preview them with the pads WHILE the sequence is playing?

example: you record in a sample from turntable, chop it up and lay down a sequence with the chops.

can you have that sequence play on loop, go into LOAD and scroll through different snares, hats, etc. to see which ones sound best with the sequence playing?

if none can do this, what would be a good work around to this? lay down a sample sequence & then record it to another sampler or the PC? then let it play and scroll through your drums on the mpc?

I believe the 500 lets you.
Ren and Studio lets you.

JJOS doesn't let you.

I load a few sounds of hats, kicks, snares. Adjust from there. OR-
I also will play drums from the computer or other gear to get a feel for what I want.
OR- make a drum program with all your go-to drums and load that every time, kills memory.

man that sucks to hear. seems like a simple process.

thanks for tip & reply though! happy new years!

MPC 5000 allows you to do that. I just got out myself few days ago and I could play my sequence in loop and go throw the folders looking for sounds like drums for example to see what fits to the sample. My MPC has JJ 2.0 on it.

you can play samples via drums or what ever is assigned to your pads as you are in record mode. i do it a lot it’s not particular playing drums to your chopped samples but it gives you a good idea
