MPC-OS 3.7 - copy sequence to another existing project

I'm relatively new to MPC, and I have a Live 2, which I've just updated to the latest MPC-OS 3.7. I have made some simple drumbeats over the past few months that I want to use as background while I play guitar and sing live. I created each drumbeat as a separate project, using a single drumkit track.

When creating a new song, I load up one of my existing projects, then "SAVE AS" the new project name and then drop in a new tempo and beat, overwriting the default Sequence 01. All my songs are using the same drumkit (just one Drum Track, using my customized kit), but each Project has its own tempo and time signatures.

Now I'm realizing that I should've done it differently. Please correct me if there's a better way, but I think I should use a single Project, and have it contain many Sequences (one Sequence for each song) that I can switch quickly between when performing live.

The problem I'm now having is that I have dozens of separate projects, each with a single "Sequence 01", but I want to copy all the sequence data from all the Projects (including drum midi notes as well as tempo and time signature data) into a single Master Project. I can't find a way to copy the sequence from one project to another! I saw some old tutorials that said I could go to the Browser and Show Hidden Files and then I could load the sequence data, but all I see in the hidden Project folders is 16 WAV files for my drum samples. I don't need to copy those, as they are the same for all songs. I want the MIDI and tempo data. How do I get that?

Thanks in advance!

No sequence export in MPC3 (currently?), and those videos refer to the old MPC2 project format, sequence files are no longer available as a separate resource in the projectData folder. Export your events as MIDI patterns and import into your new multi-seuqence project. Everything else, just take a note of each sequence tempo and bar length and manually recreate.

Yeah it's a hassle and I wish it were possible as well.

Thanks for your reply. I've been working on this, with success, but it's taking time.

The only remaining issue I'm finding is that I don't know how to integrate songs with different time signatures, and I've got a few 3/4 sequences. Apparently changing the time signature of one sequence changes the time signature of all sequences. This is problematic. I hope Akai adds per-sequence time signatures soon!

Specifically for 3/4 time, I guess I can make the sequence length three measures and record four bars of 3/4 in those twelve beats, but this seems not ideal.
