record very long audio track while "two bars drum loop" runs

Hello,
I've made a rhythm track 2 (bars long) on TRACK 1.

I'd like to record a long solo on audio track, while listening
this 2-bar rhythm looping...
How to do this ?

1) If I set Bars : 2, the Audio record stops after 2 bars
2) If I set Bars : 100 (enough for my solo), I must first record
100 bars rhythm (or copy paste 50 times my drum loop....)

Thanks !

I forgot to say that these 2 solutions are very bad....
Is there a real solution ?

I don't have the answer to your question but my guest would be that you'd need to be able to play 2 sequences at the same time (or more depending on what your doing), one would be a 2 bar loop that would repeat while the other sequence would contain the audio track playing over it. I don't believe this is possible in song mode, unless I'm wrong, I don't think you can play more than 1 sequence at a time, (this would be a good feature request for JJ, multiple sequences at a time in song mode ). In pattern mode I would do what you did in the second example, one long sequence. I'm interested in knowing if there is any other whay around this, it would definitaly come in handy.

100 bars rhythm (or copy paste 50 times my drum loop....)

heh use the noggin - past it 4x, then copy the 8 and paste it the rest of the way and you're done in just a couple keystrokes

or you can render a long sequence via song mode.

why not record the solo and mute it by track mute. this way you can enter song mode and get your bars 100 bars without actually recording them and bam unmute you have your solo.

I found an interesting trick to get around this. At least it worked on previous version of os2. Haven't tried it with the newest release.

If you want to loop 2 bars. Set the sequence length to 3 bars. Switch loop from "End" to "2". For some reason, this will trick the audio track into recording until you stop the mpc and the 2 bar sequence will loop continuously.

Ooh, nice trick lukus412... I'll have to try that. I love to fool the machine.

Good find lukas412.

How in the hell did you think of that?

Good ISH! This has been bothering me for a minute. Nice work homie.

thanks a lot !
it works even if you set 3 bars for the sequence and just the 2 first bars for the loop...

greattt!!!! thankx

Nice trick... hopefully it isn't a bug that will get fixed later!

^ ha ha right?
