Good explanation. I wanted to point out, though, that even now the automation for plugins is kind of messy: it is applied to the program, so every track that uses that program will receive the same filtering, but there's no point in wanting different trakcs and patterns to follow the same automations (and this automation is only visible in one of those tracks).

The nice thing is you can use it to hold loops on continuously and then play the pads on the MPC which is normally only available in clip mode. Just go midi in push the hold button and then press a key on Microfreak. I did this the other day. It’s a work around for the lack of hold feature on MPC. You can do the same thing with other controllers if they have hold.

I don't know, you may have been too enthusiastic before you tried some real world knob twiddling. Now, I've only had my Live II for a few days but I'm coming to the conclusion that automation on the MPC is just broken and just about unusable when you come to use it for real. I'd really appreciate it if you could try this simple test with what could be the start a poly-rhythmic sequence: 1. Create a 12 bar sequence. 2. Create a track of 1 bar with TubeSynth. This will repeat for 12 bars. 3. Create some automation of one of the TubeSynth parameters that you would like to repeat over that one bar. Say you would like to change the OSC 1 type on the 1st and 4th beat of that one repeating bar. Do this is in the step sequencer. As far as I can see, the notes will repeat for the 12 bars but the automation only occurs on the first bar. Now try automating track mutes over that 12 bars after you have created some more tracks. The reverse seems to apply: the mutes repeat` loop over and over that first bar with the notes but not over the whole 12 bars as you might expect. As I said, I may be missing something so it'd be great if you could look into this please. I bought this machine based on glowing reviews from KZbin but I don't think any one cared to share this problem. (Using MPC LIve II version 10.01)
@FreeBeat3 жыл бұрын
I've actually quite enjoyed the automation haha. But I'll have to give your challenge a shot. I use my MPC more as a traditional composition device rather than an electronic jamming device so my automation needs sound quite a bit different than yours though. Thanks for watching!

@Selahl Tapes that's literally one of the two ways explained in the video. I was just pointing out that on any screen of the mpc that there's a parameter that can be automated, there' s also the icon to toggle read/write mode on screen, shift+step sequence is exactly an extra step , 2 clicks vs 1 touch. I could keep on explaining it in different ways, if necessary.
