okay this is Page 54 of the manual.
Multitrack recording. I want to know how I can have it save pads to different tracks while Im playin them all at once. I dont know if this is for just MIDI devices or pads. Like I want to play my kicks and snares at once and have it record kick on 1, snare on 2.

To start recording, close the window and then hold REC and press PLAY.
Multiple Track Recording
With this mode, multiple tracks can be recorded at the same time.
From the Main Screen (press MAIN SCREEN), move the cursor to the S: field.
Here you can select S for single track recording or M for multiple track recording.
In single track recording mode, only the track currently selected in the Main Screen will be recorded.
In the multiple track recording mode, a number of tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
If you selected multiple track recording, press OPEN WINDOW to display the Multi Recording
Setup screen.
In (MIDI channel input)
Select the MIDI input channel with the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys.
Track
Select the track to be recorded to. If two or more of the MIDI inputs are set to the same track,
MIDI data will be merged onto that track and recorded. Set the Track field to OFF if you do
not want to record.
Out (MIDI channel output)
Select the track with the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys and enter the MIDI output channel with the
DATA wheel. If two or more of the MIDI inputs are set to the same track, they will be merged
and sent out.

I don't think it works with pads, just external midi (not sure tho...)

ive seen my boy record kick and snare patterns on my 2000, and then take the snare off that track and puts it on track 2. is that what you mean. Im not positive how he did it, but if i were to do it, this is how. I would record the kick and snare on track one. then copy that track to track 2. now you got 2 tracks the same, right? go to track 1 and erase the kick. go to track 2 and erase the snare. Thatll work

I do that all the time. Just do your kick + snare together. Then hit ERASE and then press the pad wit da snare. DO IT then redo the sanres on ex. track 3.
Im talking bout recordind every thing at once then have the MPC automaticy assign the sounds to tracks. Im just lazy so it would be a nice thing. You can do it with midi devices, but my synth isnt multitimbrale that would be tight if you had like a triton and a mp-7 and a bunch of other midi'd ish using that feature.
