Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hello.

I'm making an 8 bar beat on my 2kxl and looping it on bars 4-4 it works fine on the main screen, now when I go into song mode and play the loop for say 4 times it just plays the whole 8 bar loop 4 times and doesn't loop from bars 4-4. I'm assuming it doesn't work in song mode is that right??
Cheers

Song mode if for songs. Not looping.

OR

You can break up your 8 in half. Make 2 sequences.

Go into Song mode and CHAIN the halves together however you want them to play back AND however many repititions.

You need a better understanding of song mode.

Thanks for the replies,
I understand the theory behind song mode make lots of sequences of whatever length and string them together, I just wondered if this would work.
if you do put loop on in song mode itself it just loops the first sequence over and over.
I'll try the breaking up the sequence and just taking that 4-4 segment of it, never really used that method yet so it's about time I did.

convert your song into a sequence and you can loop your song as a long ass sequence. they had an article on that in newsweek.
