Are there any looping or cutting tricks to get some fast-rolling BD's like they have in the South-Hip Hop of the US? I mean I don't wanna trigger them one by one in the Sequencer, I wanna push a pad and the time I hold it, I get that fast rolling-Effect, understand?

Use note repeat.

As mentioned - note repeat; but if you need 64th notes, it won't work 'cuz quantize only goes up 32nd note triplets. What would probably work without step sequencing notes, is record at 32nd notes, and the go into edit, and copy the sequence, shift it ahead 6 ticks -- but be sure that it's in merge mode, not replace. ...or as said, play it out, if you're that quick. I'm not. 64th notes are fast - all you'd really have is a drill sound - but maybe that's what you want...

I've meant 1/32 not 1/64 :? :wink:

double the tempo to 180 and split the metronome, if your working at 90, viola, 1/32 becomes 1/64. a shame the mpc only goes to 300bpm.
