There is no audio tracks in the MPC. I take it you mean midi track?

( in cubase sx its really easy just cut it out and paste it on over)
how would you go about doing this ??????? thanks u guys sorry for the newb question


Why not try the manual? It's pretty easy to make x number of copies of a bar on the same *midi* track or even of a selection of notes. You can do it in the sequencer menu by copying and than pasting it (and specifying how many times you want to copy the section).

tip: besides that be sure to stop thinking in 'Cubaseque' - the MPC is more pattern oriented.

Nothing personal on you slim, but whoever started this bandwagon ish, needs to bring it to a halt. It's just not working for some folks. :roll:

Aight.......in the center of the screen (roughly) is a little thingy that says bars.......you gotta highlight that dig? Then press the window button..... at that point you'll get a number of options......anything you can highlight with the cursor, you can change by typing in values (numbers) or try turning the data wheel.......

PS...... the little buttons around the data wheel move the cursor........goood luck.

lol

thanks.. i fully appreciate that fader pro... your a coo guy bro but
i knew that already , but after you press the window button what do you do there ?? at that point you can change the field to "insert, delete, copy"


i tried to put it on copy and copy only just the 1st bar out of a default measure (2 bars) and it did not work for some reason or another?

By fader-pro Wed Feb 06, 2008 4:44 pm
OK then....after you choose copy, (In the same window) cursor down to "first bar" and choose the one you want to cop; then cursor over to "last bar" and do the same.....finally cursor to "insert after bar" and select your destination.......


If that fails to work, your machine is broken - try "percussive maintenence" :lol:





























Percussive Maintenence - Grab a hammer and knock the siht out of it.....

dope.. it worked it worked! BUT theres one thing.. it added another bar..


so i just had a 2 bar measure like a note repeat drum.. on bar 1 and bar 2 i just pressed the pad, and wanted to get the drum roll on bar 2


well now i have 3 bars.. i just want to replace the information on bar 2
not add another bar

is this normal bro or bros =D

Delete that fcuker dude.....in the same window for crissakes.....just change copy to delete.......


Hate to say it, but you gotta not be afraid to experiment with your machine. What are you afraid of? It's not gonna blow up..... :roll:
If you're worried about losing your work - just save it, but unless it's the greatest two bar loop in history, it shouldnt be too hard to reproduce.....

LOLLLLL


i didnt know u could ...

so you would first delete the 2nd bar, then copy and paste the 1st bar over to get the same shit


or do u have another method of doin that.. honestly id buy you a drink were u live at we can go pop bottles of old english and mad dogg 211, cisco too if ur down jk =)
