Recording 16-level midi data. *PROS CHECK THIS PLEASE*

This seems like a very basic problem....You make a beat with a pitched (16 level bassline)....record the midi data into your recording program, play it back, and all the bassline only plays the root note, not the pitch info.

Anyone know why this wont work?

I have checked all the midi filters on both Digital Performer and the MPC, but it won't record/playback the propper tunings (just the original note) in the sequnce?

Does this get back to the problem of not being able to not "play" the 16 level function by a midi controller? if so, that is a huge oversight and needs a bug fix on behalf of AKAI, as it absolutly essential for someone like me


PS: For the people that need to know why I am doing it this way, instead of just recording the data to my computer and bouncing....

I'm done with trying to get good bounced mixes in the computer, the bounces always **** with the stereo imaging, and never sound as good as when they are being monitored.

From now on I'm just syncing my computer to the MPC, recording the vocals/cuts on the computer, and subbing the cuts/vocals/MPC data out through a good 24-track mixer to DAT with a compressor/EQ at the end of the chain. It sounds *much* better.

This is the first beat that I have made in a long time that has a multi-tuned bass, which is why I haven't run into this problem before.

Anyone?

16 levels is a sampler function, not a midi function.
try using that autochromatic tuning program option if you are on the xl

i still believe trhat multispanning bass is much moe effective than using the 16 levels- you have much more control-

i only ever use 16 levels when i only have one bass sample....

i deal wit the same situation. I also have an mpc 2000 and i use digital performer 3.02.
What i do is make the sequence in the mpc, using 16 levels then i go into edit on the main screen and match the tune from the main screen edit wit the tune in program.
It's more work but it's the only way i found to do it with the mpc 2000.
holla back if you need more help with this.

ADMONISH...OUT...ONE...

so i can't record the note variations in a sequence with the 2000?

16 levels only works inside the 2000
it is a internal link to the sampler, (tuning etc) it only sends out that 1 note

my 2000 dont' record any note variation in sequences when "16 levels" is on (internal, not via midi etc...)
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=31051&p=1164491#p1164491
do you know why?
thanks sfor the answer anyway

i know how midi works
my problem is that the sequence is not recorded how i've played it
i record the bassline with 16 levels on but the machine doesn't record the note variations
so i would ask you this: it is a problem with my machine or it is normal?
i don't understand
sorry

sorry
i've read that page of the manual many times and repeated the procedure many times, but i can't record the bass line like i played it
drum is on, midi is off, note variation slider is off, but i can't still record no note variations in 16 levels
i think is an issue of some kind,
but dont' know for sure
've also tried with a new sample and with a wav sample but the result is always the same
the bass line is recorded in only the original note pitch
but thanks for the help!
i'll tell you if i'll resolve the problemin the next days

i've looked in step mode and i see the note is recorded in his original picth,
i can change the pitch in step edit pressing the pads
i'm not trying to use the slider
and i've set the type to "tuning"
i can hear the note variation when i play the pad but i can't record it
in theory it must work, but it doesn't
maybe there's some other option that i must set in some other menu?

thanks for the help anyway

very aprecieted!
