there's not much to internal sampler:

#01 => Modulation wheel
#02 or 74 => Filter Cutoff
#07 => Volume
#10 => Pan
#71 => Filter resonance
#91 => FX send
Pitchbend
Program Change

as far as controlling other gear it receives/records/sends all CCs and other stuff

just browse with a search for "MIDI" in jj's manual http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/os2xl/manual_3e.htm

Pitchbend? how does that work? And modwheel?

Also, didn't know that FX send (guessing send amount?) is supported, will be useful for sure!

MPCtutor should be the one who could make a real manual happen - I wouldn't mind paying for one if such a thing existed..

Probably want to check out the contents page, there's quite a bit more to the book than 'press CHOP. The end', it's teaching you how to use chopping to be creative, I.e building multisampled finger drumming kits, building songs and along the way teaching you all the different features found within drum and inst programs, sample edit etc. so basically chopping is the core centrepiece that enables me to teach many other aspects of jjosxl.

My books aren't really technical reference manuals, they are hands on, practical teaching guides.

But MIDI isn't covered in this book, that'll be something for a potential second book with a strong sequencing focus.

Like pitch which you set in mpc -12/+12 semitones to respond to PB
modwheel is just adding some vibration..

ok, thanks for this, will try. So far I've always had to spend a Qlink to set the drum sound pitches - If this works I'll have another Qlink to use on something else!

And this new book on MIDI sounds good MPCtutor!


Cheers
