So I have a lot of samples being played for this song, I'm at the point where adding another pad trigger makes it so that one of the other sounds will cut off.

is there anyway to fix this?

I thought the MPC was 128 polyphony?

It's 32 voice polyphonic.

But I mean, either way i only have about 18 sounds that are being triggered. so wtf?


but I do have a lot of samples loaded onto the ram (but not being triggered), does this make a difference?

Mono or Stereo sounds?

Mono or Stereo sounds?


At the moment all of my sounds are stereo, is there a way to simply make the MPC play certain pads in stereo and certain pads in mono without having to go through and convert each sample manually?

alhough the majority of my sounds will be fine in mono, there are a couple that actually need to stay in stereo.

And The monophonic and polyphony thing shouldnt be an issue because I dont have any overlapping samples to begin with. But I'm going to switch most to monophonic anyway.

thanks for all your help
