Change sequences, continue recording? Is it possible?

1. Hit record or overdub, record a sequence
2. Change sequence
3. Record new sequence without having to press Record or Overdub again

Right now the recording / overdub automatically turns off when I change sequence. I would like it to stay on so I can keep playing, and bang out my sequences without an awkward silent pause where I have to re-record enable and wait for the loop to come back around.

Because when you record, a track is selected, when you move the sequence, the MPC doesn't know which track it should be recording to. How could it?

So instead of posting your facepalm etc emoticons, you might want to think outside the box a bit. Or perhaps look into other equipment that suits your needs in this if you can't deal with this fact.

Well that sucks

Hopefully they can make it an option moving forward. Why should record automatically stop just because I’m changing sequences? The whole point is to record multiple sequences

MPC’s have lots of diff tools to get customized beatmaking results.
Automagic changing seq while recording is not a good idea imo..

Honestly, mpc forums is becoming more a dissapointment HQ
