"Multi Timbral" is the word here folks.

If your gear is not then you can't do it via midi at all.

Just gotta know your gear and it's capabilities. :D

then change the bank and add the next part.

This was one of the reasons I sold the Micro a few years back.


yup, it sounds like you have 5 options.

1.sample 1 note off the microkorg and do 16 levels
2.sample multiple notes of the microkorg and create a multisample/chromatic pgm
3.sample your entire "loop" into mpc, put it to a pad, align it with your sounds inside the mpc.
4.midi up the korg and only use 1 track/sound at a time
5.skip sampling all together and lay down your korg sounds when you are tracking your beat.

if it were me i'd say it depends on the sound. 16 levels might sound like shit on some sounds, but things like bass sounds, its pretty good. #2 is a little more work, but might be something you'd do for your "go to" sounds, or patches you use alot. #3 would be the quickest way, except if you want to rearrange your loop, then you gotta recall that patch and replay shit.

yep, looks like i'll be sampling one note at a time. i was overcomplicating things before.

anyways, thanks for the advice.

Yeah, if I had that gear that's what I would do.

Sometimes people end up with gear hoping it will do things
and the truth not in the stars, lol. Maybe get another small type multitimbral
