Layering is actually real simple. say you lay a kick down that has a nice punch to it but no real bottom end. Go pull up an 808 or whatever other kick that has some bottom and basically layer it on the other one. Getting aquainted with the eq in the MP will help you refine this teqnique. I dont resample on the 1000 and dont have it in front of me now so i cant really help much on the second question.

DO NOT TELL ME TO READ THE MANUAL MY COMPUTER IS ACTING GAT AND WONT DOWNLOAD IT FOR SOME REASON

looks like you need to install a .pdf reader like Adobe Reader.
that will allow you to download and read the manual.
here's the link for the installation...

that link was found at akai's website, in the support documents page (at the very bottom of the page)...
