For example... I have some 1/8 hats recorded via note repeat, afterwards I want to edit the velocities. There are lots, maybe 8 or 16 bars, and I want to do something off kilter, maybe reduce every 3rd or 5th note. So I'd like to select a note, edit it's velocity, then move to the next note, edit velocity etc etc. But how to select the next note easily?

I automatically assumed the +/- buttons would do this while in grid view (on MPC one), but they just seem to do exactly the same as the jog wheel directly above them.

Tried to RTFM on this but info is pretty sparse, any info or tips appreciated, I'm sure some of you seasoned users have some :worthy:

With LIST editor its faster
But lot fasters if you make a séparate track for Hihats , using the same program on both track. Separate tracks for drum elements is also good for live mute/unmute :)

Thats exactly what I'm looking for, I checked but not on MPC One unfortunately, probably a whole bunch more features too with all those extra buttons on the X.

Thanks for the input.

Thanks, I've tried the list editor before but I find it pretty hard to find specific events. For now, setting the TC correctly and then using the step sequencer seems pretty fast as its on a per-pad basis.

I used this function alot on mpc4000 and mpc2000xl alot and so of course I liked that it's on mpc x.
