What are the benefits of Multis and Parts?

Already read the manual, but it doesn't make sense. It sure has its uses but how will it improve my production process?

My current process:
Load samples, assign to pads, record in SEQ and program in SONG.

Chapter 5—Using multis and parts
pg. 48
This chapter explains how to use “parts” which are the way you play the
programs of the sampler section, and “multis” which let you manage multiple parts together.

If you asked me for the benefits of Cool Edit, I would say "chop up your sounds and add effects to them" I wouldn't exactly give you the manual for the whole thing.

I'm currently not asking for specific instructions on how to carry out these things. Rather know what they do before re-reading pages of instructions on how to carry them out.

It tells me how to create and edit Multis, Parts and Programs. But doesn't say what their benefits are and what they actually do, production wise.

So far I know that a Program is a set of sounds and their Parameters, but where do these sounds come from? Synths? or are they just Samples I've created and added Parameters to them via Q-Link?

also read the ak.sys manual.
it has a much better written explanation of multis and programs.


that wasn't so hard was it.


you spent a whole lot of money, and don't even know what you bought.



good luck, have fun

So you knew how to use your mpc before you bought it? Dude, just stop with the personal comments.

Seems like no one knows what's what..

"A PART is a track within a track.."

keep on trying little guy, you'll get it


yes, I knew how to use a sampler w/ multi & programs, before I purchased.
I can also READ a manual

Well here's a gold star for ya genius.

did you figure anything out yet

I would never ask you about the benefits of cool edit though. I would have already looked it up and formulated my own benefits of the software according to how I like to work out my own processes and production. I would never ask someone else "what is the benefit for me". I can conclude my own benefits.

I'm currently not asking for specific instructions on how to carry out these things. Rather know what they do before re-reading pages of instructions on how to carry them out.
The purpose of the manual imo is to cover/explain the functions of the machine. It's then up to you to go through them and see what you can work out wherever in your workflow of producing. That would be techniques and mannerisms, those are not in the manual, you come up with those through self-analysis, experimentation, time and patience.

sigh

Sounds come from you. If you don't take action then there's no sound.
