Hey people. Really getting into Ableton and have come across a slight problem. I am using my mpc 1000 hooked up via midi to ab7 to play samples and cuts of samples from ableton. Now my problem is that when i assign a midi chop to the mpc the sample isnt assigned properly on the mpc pads in order..its ok till pad 4 when it has no sample assigned on it.

My question is how to i chop a sample and have it playable over 16pads in order.

Many thanks for your help on this.

This is not an Ableton problem at all.

Sounds like a problem with reading Akai manuals perhap?

Why post in the manner you did it makes me think your not a nice person?

i think it might have something to do with midi note assignment to the pads on the akai, in your program settings.. its not ascending like you might think.. ie padA1=C1, A2=C#1, A3=D1, A4=D#, A5=E..etc.. the default is something very different.. but you can go through and change each pad to the cooresponding midi note you want..
i dont know if this is what you were asking but hope it helps..
