With 16 levels you can take a one note sample, and play it like an instrument, with different levels of tuning. You can for example play a melody and sequnce it.

Why then do people say on so many websites that this sort of thing is not possible???. I know that its not exactly the same as multisampling or as indepth as say a rack sampler, but in essence it does a very similar job.

It just does my head in how people claim that this sort of thing is not possible on an mpc, when it so blatently is to a degree.

Any ideas why people say its not possible???

because with something like a piano or a choir, it's gonna sound all chipmunked when using 16 levels

multisampling is gonna sound more like the original instrument

not that one is better than the other

With 16LEVELS you can do more then just volume. Thers is also 16levels of tone, attack and release. I think that's it. I use 16LEVELS very often, but i try not to "over-use" it. Otherwise the track ends up sounding like tiger vomitt said - chipmunked .
