scale note on mpc

Is there a way like threw patch phase i can take a sample sound of a synth and spread it over the 16 pads in different pitches? i know u can do this with 16 level button but thats for tune i want to play a piano on the pads? how do i do this??????????

You can set all 16 pads to have the same sample with different pitches from the program edit screen.

Or make 64 samples out of it and use a midi-keyboard with it. But figure out first what mulitsampling is if you want to use this option.

where in program edit? load the sample on the pad and change each pad tune? 16xs?

Unfortunatly that's the way to fix. Very timeconsuming, but if you do it right you only have to do it once. Take for example a single piano key, make it a program with 64 different types of pitch tune, save it as a piano program, and u can use it each time. U can also make a template with different pitch levels already programed in there. For future samling and programming u just load the template, and assign the sample to the pads.

But check out first what multisampling and making keyzones is all about if want to make this method work perfectly.

You don't need to map over 64 notes, unless you want to do an elaborate piano piece or something.

How I usually organize things is this:

Pad Bank 1, pads 1-8 are drum sounds.
Pad Bank 1, pads 9-16 are bass notes. (You don't actually need a whole octave for bass line, and certainly not 64 pads).

From that one bank, I can crank out bass and beats.

For bass it's not necessery having 64 notes, but other stuff...

My piano/ organ and other programs carrying 64 samples. And you don't need them all at the same time, but when u use them as TEMPLATES (a program with presets) it is pretty handy when u have the maximum amount of notes availible right away. I just load in a piano program whenever I need keys, play different octaves, try to match and then record it after finding the right tone and pitch.

RexRhino, I used to do it the same thing as u described it, but this works best for me. But the concept is the same: assign the same samples to different pads in the same program, and set a different pitch for every individual pad.
