MPC200XL, Can I do these tasks?

After creating a sequence on the MPC I have discovered that I think one hit of a bass drum is too loud or I want to move the drum kick to a different position in the groove, how do I do this finer detailed editing on the MPC? Which menu should I be looking for?

Can anyone tell me how I switch from one sequence to the next whilst running in midi clock mode with Cubase?

Step edit mode in main screen.

You didin't tell us what's the master.

Each sample will get it's own volume that way.

Copy that original trk to trk2, then delete all samples except snr.
Copy that original trk to trk3, then delete all samples except kick.
Copy that original trk to trk4, then delete all samples except hhat.
Copy that original trk to trk5, then delete all samples except tom, etc, you get what I'm saying.

Then in your mixer you can control the mix of each pad individually.
Do not put everything on 1 track, I understand people do that for feel at first, I do too.
I separate the samples later on just like I'm telling you now for this exact reason, mixer control.

?? if you delete the samples the copied tracks will be empty

just delete the track and put the same samples on seperate tracks is my advice

What if I want to amend the volume of only one drum hit in a sequence of 8 beats?

So for example I tap 8 kick drums in, all with different velocity. Only one of the kick drums I dont like the volume level, I want to adjust just that one kick and not affect the other 7 in the sequence.

I dont want to have to copy the same kick drum to 8 diferent Tracks, so I was thinking there must be a editing page for simple velocity changes of such kind?

I can get around this, i'm more interested in if you can send program changes from your master sequencer (Cubase or Live) so that the MPC changes Sequence number when playing?

I can do this with a Korg Electribe but doesn't seem to work with the MPC.
