s3000 questions

Yo guys.
Few days ago i recevived my s3000 sampler and i love it's sound. It still is a little bit pain in ass when it comes to making a beat so here are my questions:
1.Is it possible to send 16 lvls pitch from mpc to sampler? I've tried it and nothing happens. If not, is there a better way to set up bass than making every note in chromatic order?
2.Is there a way to resample with filter internally?
3.How do you have your programs set?
I made 4 programs named bank A,B,C,D and I have 16 keygroups in every program set to notes on my mpc eg:
Pad A1 = bank A keygroup 1
Pad B12 = bank B keygroup 12
etc.
Doing some edition is not as fast as i thought, so is there better way to set my sampler?
Peace

1. Just make a keygroup with the bass and set the range of notes and the root note.
3. Just an example:

create 3 programs

name them differntly A: DRUMS, B: BASS, C: CHOPS

create as many keygroups as you want in A and C, create just one keygroup in B

set the programs to different MIDI channels 1, 2 and 3

set the keyrange of the keygroups in A & C to just 1 note and in B to the whole keyboard range (as mentioned above)

Save this bank without any sounds (I dont know if you need samples in there to create keygroups. If so use a dummy short sample in all keygroups)

I dont know if this is possible but you can try to set the keygroups in C to play mono mode so every chop stops the chop before. RTFM for that I don't have a s3000 so IDK if this function is there

This is your bank preset now. You can load it always when you start to making a beat

then use the MIDI channel setting on each track of the MPC to control which program the track shall play.

I recommend to also create a program on the MPC where the pads are in chromatic order (PAD A1 = notenumber 35, PAD A2 = notenumber 36 etc).

Definately better ideas than mine, easier to work with, gonna do it
Completly forgot about different midi channels lol

Thanks, so what about resampling with filter?

Can't help you on this one cause I dont own this machine.
