But he said he had a Z8 so that should have been pretty obvious. ???

LOL!! I already helped you.
Open your manual & learn to read it or if u r that lazy use search button.

What do u expected that everybody will tell you most basic functions of your tools? Manual explains it pretty well, but of course it's better to ask some1 than reading yourself.

Imma be nice guy!

Go to program mode and create a program and change TYPE= DRUM to KEYGROUP. Next thing you have to do is to assign sample to it and speciffy it's range. It's that simple. MPC4000 is simple.
Span is where you specify sample range. It's numerical so it's best to highlight it and press WINDOW button and change Set keyrange via MIDI to YES. Pad 13 bank B is C3.

Yo buddy. Life is hard bro, you should know it better 'cus I think you older than me and not everybody is kind. Mostly people get annoyed when you ask something so obvious. When you talk face to face it's different story. Don't catch feelings man. You emo? :lol:
peace

You know I went to a new job and they get annoyed when I ask something they know. So **** them.


**** me... aight

You asked for help and help was given to you.

People need to learn how to ask politely when they need help, and to accept that help graciously and with dignity.

As ever, the first place to find help is in the manual and the best person to help you is yourself.

You still haven't been thanked shimmy for answering your question.

Thanks for helping dude out shimmy, we thrive on members who help others with straight answers.

The hypocrisy of it all...

I still find it amusing that you have Z-8 and had to ask this question in the first place.
