MPC - Midi

I want to play a bass sound ,that is in my MPC, over my midi keyboard as if it were the keyboard's sound.Meaning that I want to play the note variations of that one bass sound that I have.How can I do this.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

an mpc 3000

but regardless of what mpc I have, how would you do it on yours...?

bump...
I wanna know too. To get note variations on a single sample. Possible?? If not on MPC, then how?

on the 2000xl its called auto chomatic. i dont know if the 3000 has it. probably does.

the 3000 is an excellent machine...take good care of it.

On the 2kxl you can do auto chromatic, the 2k classic doesn't have this feature so 2k users have to MANUALLY make a chromatic pgm save it as a template and use it when they make other pgms in the future.

I don't think the 3k has auto-chromatic either, so the same rule may apply for 2k/3k users. Can someone with a 3k comment on that, I'm guessing.

Educated/Uneducated guess, ur choice, lol.

is auto chromatic the same thing as 16 levels on the 1000?

No

Can I get a "why not?"

I will hit 16 Levels on my 1000, and set it to TUNE. Ain't that the same thing?

if this can't be done does anybody have any idea on how someone like Dillah would play his bass lines???

He played that ish his self. Listen to a cut like "Light My Fire" for instance. I read about it in an article, but you can hear it. It's definitely not synth bass - too fat. I know on a lot of cuts he probably used his MicroKorg or some auto chromatic stuff, but if it's a bass-heavy thumper ain't nothing like the real thing baby...

Lampdog, how is auto chromatic different than 16 level tuning?
