trim mode, my samples only play holding the pads, how do...

on trim mode, i want to be able to just press the pad and play the sample, not hold the pad, can anyone help me out, i already figured how to do it on program mode, please help.....

There was a thread asking the same question about a month back.. i seem to remember no one having the answer... sorry man

heeeeelp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont think you can do it. but if you turn on full level and hold the corner of the pad (there's much less resistance at the corner), it may be the easiest way.

or use a paperweight lol

damn, if this can't be done, it'll really suck, i'm so used to just search through samples that way, i don't understand. i emailed akai yesterday i'm still waiting, it's little ish like that................

but i am satisfied with the product (i hope that's the only flaw) so far....

please, please, please, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adjusting the start point
01. Press the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 6] (TRIM).
When you press the [MODE] key, its LED will blink. Press the [PAD 6] while the [MODE] key’s LED is blinking
to display the TRIM page.
02. Select the Sample field and select a sample you wish to edit.
The Sample field is located in the upper left corner of the screen, which displays the sample name. It displays
the waveform of the selected sample.
03. Select the St (start) field and adjust the start point.
You can change the start point by turning the DATA wheel.
If you press the left/right cursor key while holding the [SHIFT] key, you can select the digit with the DATA
wheel.
You can also enter the value directly using the [NUMERIC] key and pads. When you press the [NUMERIC]
key, its LED will blink, which indicates you can enter numbers with pads.
04. Hit the pad to check the start point.
When you hit the pad, the MPC1000 plays the sample. The playback method varies depending on the pad.
If you hit the [PAD 14] (PLAY TO), the MPC1000 will play the sample before the start point.
If you hit the [PAD 15] (PLAY FROM), the MPC1000 will play the sample from the start point.
If you hit the [PAD 16] (PLAY ALL), the MPC1000 will play the whole sample regardless of the start/end point
settings.
If you hit any pad from the [PAD 1] to [PAD 12], the MPC1000 will play from the start point to the end point.

Maybe this will help.

What you want can't be done in trim mode, only in program mode as you figured out. I'm curious to know why you want to do that in trim mode. The only difference is that you can see the wave form of the sample.
