Ok, so here is another annoying question I have about the mpc live and keygroups:

When dealing with multiple keygroups is it possible to have the samples all using the same edits? Like if I have sampled a synth in c from every octave, and I lay them all across the keyboard, is there a way to apply the same envelopes, filters, etc to all the samples?

I searched it and came up with people saying to change it to "all" (where the key group selection is) but that doesn't work, I can't even figure out what it's for, honestly. Thanks!

I realize now from my other question that key groups can't cross fade to each other, which really sucks, but if you can't apply the same edits, it seems ridiculous. The instruments in the live seem to do it.

What type of Edits?

All should work, but be careful because I believe if you tap a note it will change the selection from all to that key. I’d have to go in and check it out but I believe that to be the case, its tedious but all we can do.

All won’t work right for the looping section. You need to go in and fine tune them as the pitch changes. Just FYI. I tend to use long note settings in the auto sampler so I don’t really have to worry about looping. Takes up more space hit there’s plenty to work with.

Thats what I do now, I make em all 4 seconds long so a note is a whole bar at 60bpm. I never work that slow (more around 70-80) so I got plenty of 'slack' to work with.
