Copying bars in same seq.

Hey yall, so as you may have read, I can't find out how to copy a bar (or more) to the same seq. I'm working with the XL and have it since 18 feb. so I'm not fully experienced with every option in the MPC, anyway

like for example, I have a 4 bar seq. and I expanded it to 8 bars so 4 empty bars are added now I want to copy the first 4 bars and paste em on the blank 4 bars I just added. I've searched in the manual but could have overlooked some pages.

If you guys know what page I might be looking for or an other method I'd like to know.

Peace,


MDC

PS: I'm not trying to copy bars of just 1 track, multiple tracks, tia.

I dont know how you got 4 empty bars...if you have a 4 bar loop and want to make it 8 bars hit edit on the main screen than hit the tab that says bars and it'll say something like what sequence and what bars on one side and on the other side it'll say something like after what bar and how many copies...(sorry I dont have the MPC in front of me) on the left put 1-4 and on the right side do after 4 and one copy. Hope this makes sense, just go to edit and bars and you'll figure it out, peace.

Well first of all go back and make it 4 bars again like how u had it. Than go into the edit scren and hit Bar. Then set it so that your first bar is 1 and your last bar is 4. then Copy it to the "After bar" 1 time

Sorry NIce we mustve posted at the sametime

I think you mean Step Editing, yeah I know that but if you wanna copy like 4 bars within the Step Edit mode and well my beat's the offbeat kinda one so yeah I think you know where I'm going, but thanks anyway man, appreciate your help.

yeah i know what you mean but i dont think that it was in step edit though, because i never worked in that menu, it has been some years since i used the xl so i cant remember exactly where to do that..
