Haze man, not missing a single opertunity to wave thouse manuals around :)

but this is in fact a wicked creatif feature :!: , everyone should at least use it at once in session it is always usefull and pumps cool shit into your beats, I'm sure one can get a cool synth arp this way aswell.. and I don't want to take any credit away from Sean W the saint, that orgiated the brainstorm beheind layering two programs per track via 2xparts (1 note one/1 off

So you can set the sample's play mode to note off...but only using aksys? What kind of friggin sense does that make? What about the people who buy the MPC so they don't ever have to use their computers again? This is a conspiracy, I tell you! Someone tell me why this makes sense...

Coming to this thread late. I agree, that this should be available via the MPC if it's
available via ak.Sys. Probably need to file an official bug against it. At least you'll
have the work around to set it up via ak.Sys until the bug gets fixed. At least
once you've set it, you can disconnect the computer and go on. You could probably
copy and paste that program and just replace the samples for different drum sets
with the same settings without rehooking up the computer. (maybe)


Also, might want to file a bug against the ref docs say that Zones have Notes off, but
in actuallity it doesn't. as well as the Sample Play mode option only being available
via ak.Sys.

cool down people ... no bug here ... goto program, pitch, 3rd column, lo - hi or the like and than hit the window button ... than set play trigger as ya want it ... toggle is weird too ...

rene - but send the one with the zones ... would be much nicer setting it up there imo ...

Ah, there it is.
But this play trigger mode can only be defined for zone #1, so it seems.
Confusing...
