Quick question (I guess for Andy but others may also know the answer)....I'm looking forward to buying the new MPC Samples Electric Keys 2.0 expansion as I do love me a good Rhodes patch and the demo sounds phenomenal. But here's the thing... how can you get 8 velocity layers out of a MPC keygroup program when there are only 4 slots for samples in Program Edit? Genuinely curious as I like making my own keygroup programs with layered samples and have found the 4-sample layer structure to be a bit limiting. What magic is this? Or (more likely)... have I missed something important in the MPC Bible/manual??
EDIT: just found this in the FAQs - "An MPC keygroup program has 4 velocity layers per keygroup, so we can achieve 8 velocity layers by assigning two keygroups to the same note, with one keygroup handling lower four layers, and the second keygroup handling the higher four. Then repeat this for all the required notes - maybe we'll create a tutorial on this topic in the future!"
Yes please to tutorial.... seriously good!
