bass-program

hy, there.
i am desperately trying to get the best out of my last true love,
my mpc 1000, when it comes to BASS.
i had my live-act (minimal-techno) set up the way that i used to make beats on the mpc, and let ableton-live do the rest with loops.
so the bass came from software.
but - it has no PUNCH !!
so i decided to get hold of a cool bass-sample CD.
after the converting, renaming (see other topics....)
i am now ready to get some bass into my dear one.

what is the best way to get easy bass-lines out of the mpc?
should i create a program with the best bass-samples and do the bassline by using the slider to create different notes ?
or:
would you create a bass-program per sound and load all the samples of one sound in different keys, to play them back this way ?
what do you guys do ?
thanks for your input

does the 1000 have 16 levels? if so then that would be the easiest way

yes, it has .
does that mean, i can load up different tunings instead of the 16 levels?

16 levels (tune) and go to town!

16 level basslines are whats up in my opinion

and..... do you tell me how it`s done, or do you just point me to read the f...in manual?

edit:
i actually went and had a look at the manual, (the one that came with the ebook and tutorial-files from here)
and: the very first time ...... i found Help !!!!!
i found out 16 levels can be used as a temporary tool to use a kind of cheating-multi-sample-programm - cool #
exactly what i need.
thank you, frisco
cheers
