BLUE BOX

can someone tell me how to save A, B, C AND D programs that i create on blue box? every time i load sample on all pads A thru D and "save all" and when i pull up program 1 on my mpc 2500 only A has my samples and B, C, and D are empty. but all the sample are downloaded to my mpc hard drive. just didn't make it to the pads exept as i said -A only. thanks

you have to put the samples and the.pgm file together in 1 folder.

sorry if question is too silly..

bluebox was made for work with mpc1000

it works with 2500 too??

thanks!

bluebox, while a good program and a great effort by wax, is kind of defunct.

you have mode/pad 11, which is easily three times as fast as bluebox.

thanks ant, never thought of using mode/pad 11. your right, much faster. thanks again. peace

hey sorry i thought this was the jj 2500 forum, my mistake

but here's a trick.

say you want to make a program where you have 1 wav tuned across the 16 pads (but don't want a whole autochromatic pgm). (TUNE is just an example, you can do this with any param)

go into GPE, hit WHOLE A1-16, move to SAMPLE ASSIGN and assign all pads to the sample you want. move to the TUNE and set the tune for A01 (at simultaneously, all others).

now, hit the F key to change the range: now, A02-A16.
Tune - bump it up 1.
now, A03-A16
Tune - bump it up 1.

you kind of get into the groove of it and it's just click, bump click bump

continue til A16. this saves time so instead of individually scrolling each one, you "drag" the rest of them with you as you go.

can't tell you how good this is for building simulted chromatic pgms where A1-16 is simulted to B1-16
