Beginner's problem (MPC1000)

Hello all!

I just bought a MPC1000, and i'm really happy about it. I do have a problem, though.

I know this has been asked several times, but i couldn't find a thread which exactly answered the problem i have.

I have sampled some solo piano and chopped it (assigned it to PAD1-PAD12) - rest of the pads (PAD13-16) are drumsounds. I wanna record the sampled piano using the MONO Play Mode, so the piano parts wont overdub eachother - and that works fine. But when it comes to recording the drumsounds in MONO Play Mode, the Pads (PAD13-16) mute eachother while recording.

I can get the drums to work fine in POLY Play mode, but then the pianosamples starts overdubbing themselves. I can get the piano samples to work like i want in MONO Play mode, but then the drumsounds mute each other. I have tried to assign PAD13-16 to POLY Voice Overlap, but that does not work.

So, if you guys understand this question .. What do i do? Is there anyway i can make it work?

it's better organization to keep your pgms separate.
a pgm for drums, a pgm for your piano, etc
that way you can set the piano pgm to MONO and the drum pgm to POLY
alternately you could turn the pgm to poly, then go to the mute group section of pgm mode and turn the mute groups for the piano pads to 1. leave the mute groups off on the drum pads.

Wow, smart - don't know why i didn't think of that.

I have one last question then - and that's a pretty easy one (sorry, guys), but how do i record two programs on top one each other? Let's say i record the drums first, and then wanna record the piano part on top of it.

And thx for the fast answer..

Best,
