Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Ok I finally got my MPC to control my Motif ES's sounds.

Now I am trying to figure out how to seperate instruments onto pads. Like how can I set my kick and my snare to different pads and play them at the same time.

This is an example:
Track: 1
MIDI: 1A-Device01 (which on my motif is track 1, kick sound)

Now when I have this setting on, I can play all my kick sounds. But the one I want to use, I'd like to assign to pad A1.

Now my snares are on MIDI: 1A-Device02 (which is track 2 on motif, snare sounds).

How can I set the snare to pad A2... and simultaneously play these at once without having to chance tracks.

I understand what u are trying to do but just look for kits in the Motif to use on MIDI channel 1. A kit should have a snare, kick, hi hat, ect assigned across the keys. For example a kit in my keyboard is called Hard Hitz and it has a bunch of hard drum sounds a few other percussion sounds.

If you do use a kit u can play your kick, snare, and whatever u like at da same time.

Do you understand?

Yes I do, I basically have to create my own drum kits.

Sometimes I find sounds that spread across different kits so I thought with the MPC I can play them at once.
