2KXL Layering Q...

Can someone fill me in on how to set the mpc up to play 2-3 snares with one pad? is it possible with the 2KXL? Or can I have one pad trigger multiple pads?

i Got the 2000, in the "params" section of the program you can choose to have one pad play 1 or 2 other pads with it. sorry if this is alittle vauge, im at class right now. if you dont understand let me know and i will look and tell you exactlly.

Hit SHIFT+6 for the program section.

Hit DRUM1 (if that's the program you're working on)

You'll be on the ASSIGN screen

Hit the pad that is your main snare

Go down to MODE: and change setting to SIMULT

Where it says ALSO PLAY NOTE:, dial in the pad number of the additional snare(s) that you want to trigger.

Woo, thanks alot.

Will it also work for Midi modules?

Does it save with the track or do you have to set it up each time you turn on the MPC?

And also when you are assigning note numbers to the pads, do they save or do they have to be setup each time the machine is cut on?

Thanks

You're changing the program when you do this so if you save the program and load it back it will still be like that.

2 fingaz

Or dub it.

When i use the SIMULT mode, my snare sometimes sounds Robotic, i than DUB it...

your next challenge... phasing.. try altering the attack and decay or different snare you have on simult mode.
