I would like to upload individual organ chords to be played via my midi- keyboard for live settings. I'm basically trying to use my MPC Live as a sound module. I was able to upload one chord which I can then play via the individual keys in the key group setting. This is great, the pitch is correct, but the modulation times are off. the higher the pitch, the faster the modulation. I want to know if it's possible to upload 12 different chords and assign them to their respective keys so they retain their sound and tone.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Use autosampler to multisample your individual organ notes and to automatically create a keygroup program. You can then use this to play the chords into the seqeuncer. Turn off the modulation in your keyboard as the tuning will mess up the timing. Instead, add modulation using the MPC LFO and filters etc. Or sample chromatically so no note tuning required.
