I had posted this in /r/mpcusers but realized a lot of people here might use the modern MPCs and not be in that sub, so reposting here, updated based on discussion there.
Hey y'all - I searched high and low for a good list of the non-obvious button press combo shortcuts for my Live 2 and didn't really find anything, so I started my own. Most are shift+something, a few others are press and hold etc. Here's the ones I have so far, what else did I miss?
WTF this isn't organized into a convenient list in the manual is beyond me.
shift + stop - return to start
shift + record - retrospective record
shift + note repeat - locks note repeat
shift + Qlink2 - scroll playhead in 60 ticks
shift + 16 levels - go to Pad Perform screen
shift + TC - toggle TC
shift + tap or metronome - toggle metronome
shift + play start - toggle metronome (yes, it seems there are 3 ways to do this))
shift + automation - toggle automation
shift + load all - when a folder is selected, loads all into sample pool
shift + pad - select a clip without launching it
shift + Qlink button - configurable to 1.) go backwards through Qlink menus or 2.) go to Qlink edit
erase + pad - erase in real time - editing
press and hold Main - track select
press and hold Main + pad number - change the active track while on song mode
press and hold Q-Link - show all q-links
useful but better documented in the manual:
press and hold menu + press pad 1-16 - navigates to menu items that correspond to the similar place on menu matrix
(you can also rearrange the menu items as of recent firmware updates)
press and hold copy + press pad to copy, then press pad where you want to paste it
