What the title says.
Mpc Key 61 with 3.6 here.
In my workflow I often need to record on a pad a riff or a chord sequence which is no longer than, say, 4 bars.
As far as I know, we can set the sample recording time only using minutes and seconds.
So the question: is there a way, a setting somewhere, that allows to set the sample recording time using bars and not minutes/seconds ?
I'm aware that I can set a longer recording time in order to "cover" all the bars I need. But then I have to cut the sample each time, which slows down the workflow.
Calculating precisely the recording time based on the tempo and the bars - which varies depending on the purpose - is also not really an option - at least for me
