OK I have always done this the long way but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to change the pitch of all 16 pads at once instead of having to change the pitch (in program mode) to each individual pad. Same goes with low and high pass filters.

For example:

I chop my sample and lay it out across all 16 pads. I now want to change the pitch to +3 on each sample but I want to be able to do it with all 16 pads at once instead of having to change the pitch on each individual pad. Same applies with filters. Say I want to add a low-pass filter to all 16 pads in program mode. It's a pain in the ass to have to add a filter and adjust each pad by itself. sometimes I'll add a filter to all 16 pads and decide after playing with them that I need more filter so I then have to go set each individual pad again.

there's gotta be a better way!!! Anyone? props in advance!!!

i was right there with you, man, in the early akai OS days when there was no way to change multiple pad parameters at one time. what a nightmare!!!


**** tell me about! I've still been doing it to thinking it was the only way. I just became used to it and I can do it fast but I don't want to burn out my second data wheel rotary encoder. I'm gonna try this when I get home. thanks all! peace
