If I'm understand, there's a setting in preferences, I forget where, that you want to set to "play as recorded" or something like that. The other 2 options are "to end of sequence" and something similar.
Play as recorded should play the full duration of that note at the end of the sequence even when it loops.
The end of a sequence makes only sense if you need this every-time you rotate through the sequence (old school: verse, chorus, middle-part)
If it is needed only once (e.g. as intro of a song) I do it as explained above: add a short sequence at the beginning. I use this pre-roll (intro) also to set voices and other parameter for external gadgets (synths, vocoder, midi-controlled effects, etc.) and most important of all, to overcome the MIDI timing issue at the start of a song of the MPC. Explanation: the MPC sends out only a steady midi-clock if the MPC is running. Other
hardware is sending out a constant MIDI clockl.
There seem to be only one AKAI machine which had a steady midi-clock, I read it somewhere but can't remember which one it was.....
