Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hi

Im new and really need help on the following: -

How can I assign/layer 2 samples onto the same pad ?

Also, how can I filter (and record the outcome) samples
in real time using the slider. . .

Many thanks

Gareth.

On the 2KXL? Record a sample on one track, go to step edit and record the same sample on another track :)

SHIFT + AFTER + Assing Note + Move the slider to your liking = Have a nice day :)

Many thanks

You can assign 2 samples to 1 pad via the Program menu. Select the pad under there then to go one of the sub menus (i think its f4) and there should be an option that says "Pad triggers 2 samples" and you select another sample that is loaded on another pad. Check the manual for the specifics.

Also, like beets said for the filter, go shift+after, assign it to a note and move the slider ... but the way I read it, you want real time filtering AFTER the note starts playing ... so you can, say, change the filter on a vocal sample during its playback. Unless its a hidden feature of the MPC2000XL that I haven't found, or I'm just stupid, you can only adjust the filter for 1 playback of the sample you're filtering. You can't change the filter in mid-playback (unless you buy the analog filter thing).
