Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Question:


If you have 10 tracks recorded at 4 bars and then you decide you want
them all to be 8 bars, is there a way to copy and paste the 4 bars
for all tracks at the same time? Or can you only copy and paste the 4
bars 1 track at a time. Alot of times I start recording small tracks
and then I make longer ones so I have to go back and duplicate the
smaller tracks. If theres a way to do this or if there are any tips
to make this process faster it would be great.



Answer:

Easy solution. On the sequence you are working on, move your cursor
to highlight the number space next to, the [Bar:]on the main page of
the mpc4k. Hit the window button. Now you will see, [Bar: Insert]. Change
insert to copy. Leave the [First Bar: 1] as 1 and change the [Last Bar: 1]
to 4. At the [After bar: 1] Change that to 4. Select how many copies you desire.
If you leave [Copies:] at 1, than you will change a 4 bar sequence to
a 8 Bar sequence with all the tracks copied as well. 2 copies give
you 12 bar sequence. 3 copies gives a 16 bar sequence and so on...

Heavie, you are the man. He's been posting things at all the forums to help out the lost. Much appreciated bro and I am sure there are plenty of appreciative folk that think the same but just don't post. Keep it up!

or you can also go to song page set the repeat of your sequence to whatever you want and convert to sequence...even faster
