Layering samples help a newb jjos1

Sup guys.

Need some help with layering samples on top of each other. I am able to make a drum beat using drum samples I have chopped and also add other sample on top of the drum beat like a piano melody for example, but when I got to add a 3rd sound like bass or anything on top of the drums/melody it just replaces the piano melody sound or plays that sound for like half a second. I tried to change from PLOY to MONO and so forth but no luck, I am just wondering how I can layer more than drums and a melody on top of each other.


I use JJOS1

Google has failed me.

Are you using multiple tracks or putting them all on a single track?

For sampler even the silence is a sound. Read about "overlapping" in program chapter of your friendly manual.

Most of the time I have them on different tracks, but some times I have them on the same track. I'll check out overlapping in the manual. The jjos online manual correct?, not the one that came with my mpc.

I cannot find anything on "Overlapping" on the jjos site or under chapter 12 in the manual which is the programming section.

MPC 1000 Manual wrote:Setting the overlap of the sounds on the same pad (voice overlap)Normally, when you hit the same pad several times, the same sound will be overlapped. When you use the MPC1000 as a drum machine, you can make the performance sound natural with this feature.

However, when you are using a phrase sample, it may be better not to overlap the same sound. With the voice overlap function, you can set the MPC1000 not to overlap the same pad sound.

01. In the PROGRAM mode, press the [F3] (PARAMS) key. The PARAMS page will be displayed.
02. Select the desired pad by hitting it.
03. In the Voice overlap field, select MONO.

POLY The MPC1000 overlaps the sound.MONO The MPC1000 does not overlap the sound.

If you select MONO, when you hit the pad several times, only the pad that was hit last will be played.

You got too many sounds that are POLY, make most of them MONO, one track or many does not matter. Tails of sounds are overlapping and robbing you out of voices.
First know the difference between MONO/POLY setting in Params screen and the other MONO/POLY in upper right corner of program. This is not the same thing.

Thanks Bug. Respect.
