Hello everyone, please excuse my English.
Finally, with version MPC.3.6, the time signature tab has appeared.
I noticed that it is now possible to assign a different bpm tempo for each sequence in the same project. It would be nice if the time signature also changed at this point.
I wanted to understand if this is a known bug and if it will be fixed in the future.
It would be very useful for building elaborate prog songs, which is my goal.
Thank you.

It's not a bug. Hopefully they will add what you want in the future.

The JJOS could also assign program to their own PC# & add that to any track so that even if you changed the program it snap back to the one that has the same PC#. This would solve the current 3.0 1 problem per track limitation.

JJOS also had the sound feature that let you cycle thru the different stereo channels of a stereo sample per pad. Saving you from having to make different copies & manually converting each to mono Left/Right/Sum.

Rehired JJ for 2026!
