Resampling + layers questions

None of the stores near me which 'stock' the MPC1000 have any in stock, and so before I buy one, I've got some questions that I hope someone can help with (I've owned an MPC2000 and an MPC2000XL in the past).

- I know the 1000 can sample it's own output, internally. Can anyone confirm if it can sample from the analog or digital inputs while playing back a sequence ? ie. can you feed the output of the 1000 through an external effects box and record it back in; or sequence a synth with the 1000 and sample that sequence ?

- when layering samples on a pad (up to 4, right?) can their velocity ranges overlap ? ie. could you sample and loop a synth sound, recorded at 4 different filter settings (for example) on the synth, and then fade betweem those 4 looped sounds by varying the pressure on the pad ?

thanks for any answers.

yes, it can. ive done it maybe 5 or 10 times....?

Also not a problem, Each of the four layers can respond to ANY velocity range you like. You can overlap the velocity settings or not its up to you.

Great - thanks.

so does it means that "you can sample from any input while playingback a sequence, and also assigning it to a sequence without stopping" ?

when you hit stop in record mode to end the recording it asks you what pad you want to assign it to

why are we even talking about this? just fückîñ try it, it aint gonna hurt you

Sort of. It may be that your wording wasn't precise, but if it was, I'll tell you you can not use "pressure" messages (ie aftertouch) to switch between the various layered sounds of a pad, only "velocity". (ie the initial pad hit)

Just wanted to clarify.
-tank.

im asking cause i dont have it yet

Thanks - I'm always precise...

(ie. I did mean "can you fade between different looped sounds on one pad using aftertouch, aka pressure")

thanks for clarifying that.
