Any way to lower the levels on track?

I think I remember doing this on the 2500. I want to lower the levels on a whole track, and not have to go to each pad in the Program editor doing it that way atm.

A, think I got it. The V% ... but thats velocity and not volume right?

Yeah but you gotta do every pad singley. I got all my stuff laid out on tracks

Hmm it;s possible in jjos only i think

on the main screen.. this is how i control most my levels, and fine tune in global/program mode. i barely if at all use the mixer section.

if you have a layered velocity pad/samples, and you lower the V% on a track, then obviously it will mess with the velocity of said pad/samples, it will start to not trigger layers while lowering V% depending how your vel-layers are setup.

but other than that i don't see why you can't just do it from the main screen? plz inform if i'm wrong at all. but why make things hard on yourself?


*if i have my fantom midi'd up to the mp(2500-jjos1) and change the V% on the main screen then it changes the volume in the mixer of the fantom.. <-just as an observation.

Then you can use the mixer for each track? That's what the mixer is for, separate your sounds, 1 per pad
and use the mixer the way it was designed.

To me the 1000 and 2500 feel like they were designed to use a whole program on each track. I almost never use the mixer either. I always use the global program edit mode.
That feature is only availible on JJOS.

Of course, anyone can produce anyway they want and feel comfortable with and of course there are quirks with every technique that one must get used to and work through. Placing a bunch of instruments on 1 track is one of those non-separation quirks.

co-sign Lamp........it'll make for a headache later if one wants to EQ and tune sounds when working towards track completion. Really hard to do when everything is lumped together

mode+mixer (pad 8 )

I do seperate my sounds. But I already seperate them by assigning them to another program. So each sound has it's own program that I will assign to a new track. With the global program editing, the sample to sliced program function and the fact the newer mpc's can use more then 4 programs at the same time makes this the best way for me to do it.
