How to play high and low bass octave

How can i play high and low bass octave on my mpc2500. Can someone help me out here!

1 love.

If I understand correctly, all you have to do is get 2 samples. 1 sample of the bass in the key of C in the one octave you want and a second sample of the bass in the key of C one octave above the original sample.

Problem is, there are only 16 pads and 2 octaves are 24 keys. So, you may have to split the pads into what you will be using only instead of assigning 2 octaves.

IE:
2 vertical rows of octave one. High note on top and low note on bottom.
2 vertical rows of octave two. High note on top and low note on bottom.

Now you can perform your pattern.

Hope this helps.

No sir. The pads are already velocity sensitive.

You get more note ranges if you use autochromatic. Go to program and highlight Tune. Hit window. Then hit I think AUTO.

Yes, he can use this method as well but there are differences.

A) He won't be able to fit his playing keys on one bank because his second octave will run into his second bank meaning he has to constantly hit the Bank A and Bank B button to perform it

B)Autochromatic is cool for some stuff, but for me - the closest to the original sample the happier I am. Sometimes certain samples, especially ones of single note instruments, may lose their true sound if pitched up or down too far from the root. For me, I prefer at least 1 sample per octave. 1 sample per 2 octaves at minimum.

This is the method that I would use- I love the autochromatic.
