I was exporting and importing Mpcpattern files in standalone and discovered that they are pretty powerful. You can edit velocity, probability, ratchet, automations (like pad tuning or decay) and ALL that info is stored in the MPCpattern file for you!

I’m not sure if this has always been the case, but with 3.4.3 (whatever the current version is as of now) it works well.

is that a regular MIDI [2.0] file that you can import in other [MPC] sequencers (too) ?

@T-Monk do you mean ARP-Patterns? I‘m struggling with them because I can‘t figure out to create a user pattern (like a step sequence played by hitting a pad) e.g. the sequence/pattern for CHaka Khan‘s ‚ain‘t nobody‘...

Don't know. To be honest I've not used it yet but intend to. My kb skills are fairly limited, and I like sequencers where you can juggle a pattern around on the fly.
