Are there any ways to change banks on the fly ?

yea... just press the padbank button and select your bank... it wont interrupt what's playing

also works when recording

thanks but i meant like instantly...without the stupid pad bank list. to switch banks while jamming. or to find samples which are still playing in loop mode in another bank.

what do you mean by 'instantly'?

without going to the annoying pad bank list first

well i dunno if this helps but instead of scrolling u could just press the appropriate pad to whichever bank u want (bank 9...press pad 9)... of course u cant go higher than 16 and u still have to press the padbank button before anything.... or if u hold function while scrolling it goes in tens instead of one.

but i can see how ur annoyed with that if ur a live player... it may seem quick but its not quick enough... and it tends to scroll alot slower when u got stuff playing

Yeah, that sounds like a familiar issue. Even with my current gear, one of the things the MV really lacks are lighten pads when they're played. It's pretty much trial & error to find out which samples you used when you auto chopped an entire sample and just jammed away. Didn't have that problem with the SP-606, because the pads got lights to show if a pad is being played or not.
