Really annoying Sequence Mute Problem

Once you set the start and end point correctly. All you have to do is re-record the loop.

This was it right here... that and the advice you and everyone else was giving me. Idk why.. but bringing the start more forward in the sample was something I never thought to do. That and utilizing my start-record more, sample generate is going to take some getting used to.

I used your guys' tips from wiped memory, completely brand new project ... routed the beginning of this song I like to the MPC and looped it in the sequencer.. so now i can join you guys and actually use my sequencer on my MPC. lol

yep, ^^^ this was something I wasn't doing before so I think trimming it down more was the magic touch

also super cool theres like a million ways to tune and pitch samples on this thing lol.. kg mix blew my mind

Just keep working on the basic the machine and everyday learn one thing. Turn that frustration into musical emotions.

My **** was fiddly, because I sometimes just like flowers with many moving parts and can’t help myself.

Both work imo.

Correctly editing the sample, extracting, assigning it to a key-group, and pitch it down. Is a great way manipulate the sounds. I've done it before but mainly use those settings for single notes. I also prefer Keygroups over 16 levels because the keygroup allows more controls.

Hey just another quick question.. is there any way when I copy the sequence to an unused one that I don't have to use that same program that i made the sequence with?

Because here is the thing, if Program 1 has the pattern I want to loop in the sequencer that's great, but if I copy it over I have to stay on Track1- Part1- Program 1, if I go to Track 2 Part2- Program 2 it gets ****.

Because what if I want Track 1 to just have the one pad I'm trying to record my loop on? Then I want to use Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 for Drums , Bass, Kicks, etc. How do I do that if the sequencer doesn't want to play ball. It seems possible, I'd just have to put everything I want in the song and sequences into one Program, into one track, but that sounds like organization hell.

I just want to have Sequence 1 - Program 1 (the Loop)
Sequence 2 - Program 1 , Program 2 (snare)
Sequence 3- Program 1, Program 2, Program 3 (Kicks)
Sequence 4 - Program 1, Program 2, Program 3, Program 4 (Vocals)

Right now, it just seems Sequence 1 is tied to the loop program, being program 1. And if I try to copy it over to another sequence I have to have Track 1 Part 1 Program 1 because if I try Track 2 Part 2 program 2 or track 2 part 1 program 2 or however I arrange it doesn't seem to be working

Seq1 = trk1/pgm1 (loop), trk2/pgm2 (snr), trk3/pgm3 (kik), trk4/pgm4 (vocals).
Seq2 = trk1/pgm1 (loop), trk2/pgm2 (snr), trk3/pgm3 (kik), trk4/pgm4 (vocals).
Seq3 = trk1/pgm1 (loop), trk2/pgm2 (snr), trk3/pgm3 (kik), trk4/pgm4 (vocals).
Seq4 = trk1/pgm1 (loop), trk2/pgm2 (snr), trk3/pgm3 (kik), trk4/pgm4 (vocals).
Seq5 = trk1/pgm1 (loop), trk2/pgm2 (snr), trk3/pgm3 (kik), trk4/pgm4 (vocals).

Copy Seq1 to Seq2, go to and use Trk2, go to and use Pgm2.
Leave Trk1 alone.

See the thing is track 1 cannot be left alone idk whats up w that. Say I record something to the sequencer in Program 1, Part 1, Track 1 right? Well now lets say I have a second program completely separate that i want to use on a different sequence.

At first I thought each sequence could use their own 128 tracks isolated but I Guess you have to share tracks with the other sequences. Which is fine I guess but...

I tried going to Sequence 2, recorded it with program 2. All is well and done. But if I go back to Sequence 1, it says it's Using program 2. So if I change program 2 to program 1 on Sequence 1 as it should be, then Sequence 2's track is using program 1. How do I stop my tracks using the same parts / programs?

hey never mind. As I was typing the above I went back to my MPC just to make sure I Didn't miss anything and sure enough I did. what was tripping me up is the parts changing between tracks which I didn't realize was messing my sound up. I think I got this arrangement figured out.. or at least cracking the surface. I'm keeping up the question i was bout to ask in case I forget and come back and have a lightbulb moment.

Keep going, you're getting the basic down.
