Hello.
I have some questions about the interface of the mpc one+.
Lack of track offset inside a sequence:
I have the ability to set a track length in order to loop the content, but I don't have the ability to set an initial offset of the track. I ask this because I want to do, preferably, a single sequence for the most of my song, and and a looped track cannot be made appear after some time because the loop will start always from the beginning of the sequence.
Without offset, I'm forced to create multiple sequences every time I want to introduce a new track/instrument. Is that right?
Track volume is tied to program volume, but not in a clear way.
At first, on the track mix screen, I thought altering a 'track' volume would alter only the current track, but its modifying also the volume of other tracks with the same program. This isn't very clear, because it says 'track' volume, and not 'program' volume, and also, the other track volume bars are remaining unmodified on the screen, even if the volume is clearly lower, so it's a bit tricky to identify what track put down the volume of other tracks.
Loading instruments vs loading drums
I installed some expansions, but when selecting an expansion and loading an object under the 'drum' filter, it's not really clear where the program will be loaded: sometimes I find it loaded under the drum programs, sometimes they are loaded in keygroup programs.
How to know that in advance? There's some hint I'm missing in distiguishing a drum file from a keygroup file?
