this is an idea i recently had in another post. we often deal with having to mono everything up real nice due to samples cutting each other out.

what if we create 2 programs, one of the sample in mono and the other in stereo?

many of us eventually track out our projects to an outside editor to master and mix down, ie cubase or acid. when we solo everything out and record it into our pc, we can switch the program from mono to sample....

this can be the means by which we preserve the qualities of stereo when we want it....

or has everyone else been doin this and i am just missing out?

How about just taking your smaple to the computer, layering, effects, more layering and converting it all to a stereo sample and then take it to MPC.

32 polyphony limit crushed.

Drawback, now u cannot EDIT the layers.
Solution, create them how you want them inside the
computer in the FIRST place.

I've used theis method with the ASR10 many times cause I didn't have as many effects busses as I wanted. Ther ASR10 can digitally sample its main output with NO LOSS in quality and place EXACTLY what you hear onto a key. First gear to do that I believe. GOOD feature on the newer MPC's I advise, people to use it more.

i dont see using 32 sounds at the same time. i ran into that problem on my 303 but not ever on the mpc . i think 32 is a lot.
