Pg 19-21 on MPC2000XL manual...

The NOTE VARIATION slider can be used to change the tuning, attack, decay, or filter value for a sound assigned to a drum pad by moving the slider while playing the pad.
Here are some examples for uses of NOTE VARIATION slider:

1. The slider can control the decay for a hi-hat sound. This would simulate the action of a
drummer’s hi-hat pedal, changing the hi-hat decay time each time the pad is played. By using the decay switch feature in the program and setting the sound so it switches according to the decay value, it is possible to simulate a closed hi-hat gradually opening by moving the slider.

2. The slider can be assigned to tuning for a tom tom. By moving the slider when playing the drum pad assigned to a tom tom, it is possible to change the tunings.

3. The slider can control the filter value for a sound containing a filter setting. This will change the sound each time the note is played, to play analog synthesizer samples and hold filter effects.
