mpc 1000 and usb with longer samples??

i just got mpc 1000 and am new to using mpcs. I am trying to drop long samples (2 0r 3 seconds) into the mpc. I have found this fine except when i try and trigger it with the pads. When i do this it only plays sample as a short hit. Is there a way the pads can sustain the noise for longer or another way to play loops which i'm missing. Like i said i'm new to mpcs so this question may sound kind of basic.

go into to trim, get the sample you want. Then move the end point to the end of the sample. Its probably just in the middle.

in trim mode it plays whole sample no problem, but when i return to main screen (using main button) and hit or hold the pad, it only plays it as a hit and decays. Is it a pad setting orsomething do you reckon. Nice one on the advice 247 beats any more would be good?

did you move the end point to the actual end of the sample. If thats not it, then make sure you didn't use the slider mode.

i am having issues with this too, but it is when i am in track mute mode, my longer samples just stop at like 1 second if too many tracks are playing at the same time, but i am only using like 8 tracks, it doesn't make sense. any help will be appreciated

Don't know if you've tried this but it sounds like you may have the sample set to "one shot".

Hit "Mode",
Hit "Program" (Pad 7),
Hit the Pad that your Sample is assigned to,
Make sure your Sample title is highlighted and Hit "Window",
Now your are in Layer mode,
"One Shot" means it plays whole sample
"Note On" means it plays till you release pad

Hope that helps!

this is unlikely, but it might be a polyphony limit.
