Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

Hello in the manual it says you can switch between different layers via the Q-link. has anyone figured this out. I am trying to get the mpc to work like Battery 3 or DFH superior where each time you hit the pad a different sample is triggered. Not by using velocity. It just cycles thru different samples. I was wondering if this is possible in the mpc500?
thanks

hey, are you talking about using the layers and qlink to make different samples trip?

like...

hardest kick
hard kick
kick
soft kick

where qlink position decides sample?

if so, i hope you figure it out. i'm pretty sure you could do this on the 500, esp since it's so compatable w/ the other mpcs. it's an awesome feature and i use it a lot. good luck.

yeah like if i have different versions of a snare drum and I want the mpc to cycle thru them on each hit. Thats what i wanna do.

I think cat wants it so that each time he hits, say, pad 1, it does a different snare [cycling through a bunch with each hit]
