16 Levels

When I take a sample that I've chopped to 16 levels it sequences it by changing the speed of the sample to change it pitch. How do I change the pitch of a sample without changing the speed of the sample so that that I can keep it at the right bpm no matter which key I play it in.

I have a 2kxl...not expanded.

you can use an audio editor to change the key of the sample without affecting the bpm.

something like adobe audition

without additional software? I'm trying to use the mpc as a self-contained unit.

I've seen it done in a video on youtube

i'd just use soundforge man, i think it would be pretty tricky on an mpc, well on a (500) anyway, i dontknow about a 2kxl.
