MPC Live/X/One Tutorial, How to Increase Sequence Length, After You've Finished It.

This is a relatively quick video that shows you how to make your sequence length (in bars) longer, after you've already done a bunch of tracks in it.
Normally, if a sequence was written in 4 bars and you extend it to more bars, the additional bars will be empty. You've only created 4 bars worth of track length, so anything more is just... Empty.
Using this trick, you can easily make a sequence any length you'd like, and it's SUPER simple. This is ideal for anyone who wants to play along to their tracks, recording into an audio track, singing, playing synths, guitar, whatever.
Basically, you want an audio track that's longer than the single sequence you've already created.
This'll get you there!
I hope you find this video useful.

Thanks for the tips. I'm new to the MPC platform and trying to figure out a workflow that will work for me and help me cut the umbilical to the DAW. Recording longer audio tracks or several passes of the same section is definitely a part of that for me, but I'm starting to see that it's not going to be so easy in the MPC environment. Your video gave me a useful idea, though. I can expand the length of a sequence, jam over that, and then cut it back to the original length at the section that I like best. This definitely helps. One thing, though. You used song mode to make a longer section. Maybe this function didn't exist earlier in the MPC, but there is a function in the sequence menu (accessed via the pencil sign to the right of the sequence name on the main menu) that allows you to simply double the sequence at the press of a button. This doubles any existing audio tracks, too, but you can just record a new longer one after that. It's probably a lot quicker and easier than using the song mode.

I did not know about the double feature. How is that accessed? Also, thank you for the thoughtful and comprehensive reply, and of course, thank you VERY much for watching.

​@@CaidicusProductions You're welcome! The options for doubling (or halving) the sequence length are accessed via the Home page. As you will know, this page is divided into three sections - for Sequence, Track and Program. There is a pencil on the right hand of the screen for each of these sections. If you tap the pencil for the Sequence section, it brings up a page with different options. the 2x or /2 options are here. They're very quick to use - and very helpful. I hope they save you some time in the future. All the best! ​

Bro thank you love your tutorials you do talk alot tho lol

[@CaidicusProductions]

Thanks for the compliment. And yep, I talk a lot in tutorials because I want to make sure the process is completely clear. I have a habit of watching other peoples' tutorials and feeling like they forgot a step or something because I can't repeat what they've shown.
