Live playing question?

i used the search command but it didnt bring up nething even close to what im wanting to ask. so sry if this had been brought up before....

i have all the factory set samples on my mpc500, that's all. im using 3 different strings(string 1,2 and 3). i tuned one to -15, another to -7, and another to 0). i want to have the string that is -15 to be played for 4 beats. then i want that sound to completely stop playing so that i can play string 2 that is tuned at -7. BUT, when i tap the 1st string, it will play for 4 beats then, i tap the 2nd string and it will play OVER the 1st string and it sounds just like a bunch of crap!! HOW DO I MAKE A SOUND STOP PLAYING WHEN I WANT IT TO, SO THAT I CAN PLAY ANOTHER SOUND AFTER IT WITHOUT THE TWO SOUNDS PLAYING AT THE SAME TIME?

i tried trimming the 1st string so maybe it would cut off early but it still played through the 2nd string.....

Mute groups. Its all in the manual...

i read all over the manual. all i could find is mute track. i think i remember seeing or hearing about mute groups but i cant find it in the manual or on my mpc500. could somebody tell me how to locate it on my 500?

You looked in the manual? Did you look on p79? Its even on the contents list!

i skipped over it in the contents list.

R U AESOP ROCK?

Go to program mode and set the samples you dont want to over lap to a mute group, (e.g.1,2,3,ect.)

Also if you don't want the same sample to over lap you can go to program mode and set the poly to mono.
