the looper is really the hidden gem of the MPC... and I wasn't even using it quite like this but this makes a ton of sense. before this I had only used it to layer sounds, and add extra voices to hardware synths that I have that are limited in that way. dope and useful vid.

With 2.10.0 - I had a full hour+ long set full of midi CC in - after the 2.10.1 update - that file is basically useless now.
