Basslines?

How do you guys work out the basslines if you don't have the autochromatic function? I find it time consuming to sample 8 different notes...

thanks!

there's this button called 16 LEVELS i'd advise looking into...

thats what i do now, i was just wondering if there was a faster way of doing it. thanks

Yeah i understand where you are coming from. I tried the 16 levels and it isnt really that sweet. thanks for the advice man.

Which JJOS version?

if you didn't care much for how 16 Levels sounds [one sample pitched chromatically over 16 pads], then you're REALLY not gonna care for how it sounds over an entire keyboard [pitched even further up down]... not trying to discourage you, but just sayin...

word

i play a bit off bass, i have a program i made by recording single notes off a bass guitar, then making a prog. you can map one sample chromatically then, or if you feel its too unatural, use the sampled bass notes.

TIP: Have all your notes set to NOTE ON in program window.

Check this video, some musictheory and mpc practical tips. Very nice!
