Its like you're not allowed to change between midi tracks and audio tracks :) Except for scrolling through the tracks on the main page, nothing else seems to let you change from audio to midi, or midi to audio. The mixer screen lets you swipe left or right to get to every track, but it doesn't change the track on the main page. Holding Main lets you select tracks but not again change between midi or audio tracks. What's the deal?

You can switch between types of tracks, if I remeber correctly.


Oh I see now. Hold Main then press pad banks A-D to select which block of 16 tracks you are looking at. My audio tracks were coincidentally track 17 onwards while my midi tracks are 1-16.

It does. The current track is hilighted on top of the page (name and type). You can select a different track by pressing the name of another track.

MIDI and audio tracks are now just tracks. Choose the type of a track on the main view.

And that's the other piece of the puzzle fixed! Thanks. Touching the name of a track is different to the column being highlighted.

Glad I'm still using my trusty MPC 1000 with JJOS2xl. Switching between midi tracks and audio tracks is no sweat! :P


I don't disagree. Everytime I do something I haven't done before, its a bit of searching and reading to figure it out.
