Looping?....Overlapping?....breakbeat?

Ive learned just about all the basics on my mpc1000. Meaning I haven't gotten very far. Although I will say I've created some nice joints(All my joints are on point..lmao) I still have questions concerning looping, overlapping(I think thats what one would call it), and breakbeats and playing my own sampled drums.

First off concerning looping....its a fairly easy task until you get to the tempo stage. Do I always have to adjust the tempo in order to play my loops? Often times I find my tempo in the 66-76 range which is aweful slow when it comes to drums.

Secondly, I cant overlap samples like most on the MPC2000....this is becoming a problem with each song. As I conjure up new ideas it seems ive come to my creative limit with the MPC1000 and I've only had it for 6mths. I dont know if I dont have the means or If I havent tried everything...

EXAMPLE 1: I sample a melody or intro from an album....then I make it into a sequence. I now want to sample vocals or other intruments and then add them to the original sequence. Is this task POSSIBLE on the MPC1000??...im hoping its something simple I overlooked like layering or something.

Example Breakbeats: Say I just wanna get a drum loop from my PC(BOOM BAP 4SEC LOOP) or a bassline or synth from a rock album. I know I can sample these things but it goes back to my original question in Example 1 can I overlap it onto a seqeunce ALREADY CREATED and if so how?

Furthermore, If I find a premade drum loop or sample off a breakbeat album HOW will I adjust the drum TEMPO to my sample TEMPO...or will it sync?

Keep in mind I dont have a memory upgrade so I can load hella sounds up only my drums and my sample. I've tried to sample an album then load up breaks and play them ontop of the sample but I've failed. All POSITIVE feedback would be appreciated....Thank You

You should read the manual..

Also, make seperate programs for ur drums and ur samples, and record the mon second tracks.

But go into int oprogram mode by pressing mode +pad 7, then hit any pad and down cursor to the sample name and press window and turn it from "NOTE ON" to "ONE SHOT".. i think that should cover ur "overlapping" problem, cuz what ur asking for is definately possible... its actually very basic. If you don't like the lingo in the manual, or for some reason cant follow it, get the "Beat Making on the MPC1000" ebook.

its dope, i have it.. and it helped me.. just got my mp like 2 weeks ago

Well i figured out that the mpc1000 doesnt have the overlap feature that the mpc2000 sports which is a bummer....but i can just resample a piece in and add it.....SANOVA i reliazed that i can sample overlap but they have to be recorded seperatly.....THANKS! Oh yea volume was a huge factor....and then tempo is a **** also. So i think most of my sampled drum loops with be ghosted

what overlap feature?

If you record a 15sec sample

Chop the sample and make a program

record to a track...maybe some strings

use another track to add maybe some vocals from the same sample

keep in mind this is all the same sequence

hence we are overlapping the same samples....at least thats what i called it.

When i bought my MPC1000 i looked up the pros and cons compared to the MPC2000...the MPC1000 lacked the overlap feature, this is what I understand the OVERLAP FEATURE to be...

Are you just trying to layer samples on top of each other in time (in the same sequence? Because that is certainly possible with the 1000.
