Midi module & MPC setup help needed

I hope somone out there can help me with this- I am new to all this midi stuff.

I have an mpc2000 and i want to use it as my primary midi controller and sequencer but I cannot figure out how to set it up so that it plays like a regular keyboard. i.e as you move up a pad the tone moves up one semitone at a time. At the moment it jumps up in weird increments making it hard to play chords .

has anyone had similar issues and can you give me some advice?

I currently have my mpc midi out going into my module and module out into the mpc.

Thanks!

Try here under midi notes or something to that nature. Here you'll find your answer.

when you fire up the MPC the midi note numbers don't necessarily match the pad numbers. For example turn on the MPC and go to the program screen. Now, don't load up any samples or connect any modules, just hit pad A1. Now look on the line in the program page (shift + 6 to get there on the old school 2000) that says "Pad: A01 = Note ??" On my fresh factory disk booted MPC it says "Pad: A01 = Note 37" What you want it to say is "Pad: A01 = Note 36" You can change this by going up to the note number and rotating the jog wheel one click. Now hit pad A2. You want this to say "Pad : A02 = Note 37." Hopefully you get the idea... A03 should be 38, A04 = 39, etc. etc. You'll have to fix each pad, all the way to D16, but when you do, you will be able to play the pads chromatically. Now stop for a second. It probably took you five or six minutes to do this. Do you want to preform this chore every time you use an external sound module? No. So save it as an .APS, preferably on your boot disk (call it soemthing boring, like TEMPLATE). That way you won't ever have to do it again.

On the other hand, maybe you should not fix anything and just play it the way it is, and when people ask you why your melodies sound so strange you can smile and tell them its "that MPC sound, dog."
