Hi, i ve been looking for any tips or youtube video tutorials on howto
make the best use of Instrument programms on JJ OS2XL ..

Example :
Howto do i map different lets say Rhodes muitisamples to one note(key or pad) and spread over different "zones" and different "velosity overlaps "
i am new to this and come from the DAW Sample mapping / programming approach (Reason NNXT ) that i could play them on MIDI controller straight out of MPC1000 ... without need of any external DAW ( reason, logic , whatever) ?

is multisample Instrument mapping possible with JJ OS2XL Instrument progs - or is it still more limited ?

thats absolutely not what he asked. you linked the AUTOCHROMATIC TUTORIAL , not the multisampling one.
these are the real ones from Nym:

this is just a DRUM program "autochromatic" assignment..
not quite what Instrument program is for..

but thanks for the link anyway :)

thanks for the link,
seen this one before... but wonder if anyone
does more complex Insrument programming
to b able to programm "realistic" sounding multisampled Rhodes or piano?
impossible?

not impossible but very very limited compared to pro-samplers....keep also in mind that polyphony starts to be an issue when usin' multisamples...
comin' from the mpc4000 i was very happy to see this implemented on the 1k , but after usin' it a bit i found it a bit frustratin, so now i use all multisamples on ableton.

hmmm, its a pity ... hopefully JJ will improve that feature in some future...
he should add layers to samples to have the velocity change the sample triggered on the same note....
it would b probably possible on MPC1000 hardware limits maybe 3 or 4 layers?

so in its current state the Instrument Programs are only good for one layer simple
sampled instruments like.. synths , basses , etc goot as a scetch pad but for anything serious its better to use a software based samplers - right?

wait! that means that FOR ME isn't that worth usin, i mean, i use em sometimes but still can't think of os2xl inst system as a replacement of a full multisampler. even my s-950 has got tons of features more. if it only had a bit more ram ehehheh
