I've been using OS1 for awhile now and I have a bunch of multi-sampled instrument programs ive made, recently switched to OS2, now all the the samples have been pitched incorrectly on the pads. I know there is a new instrument pgm feature but i dont want to have to make all new programs, i have over 30 multi-sampled, pgms is there a quick fix for this or do i have to tune each pad manually all i want to do now is make beats i want this to work proper, so any help please if yall have any ideas....

these sound like real good programs.
i don't know why they're pitched differently - i've never had a different pitching when using old os1 pgms with os2. i can't help you there.

i can tell you that you'd be much better off just recreating these as INST pgms. though this is time consuming, you'lll thank yourself later for it as INST pgms are crazy powerful. the aftertouch function is soooo good, esp on LFO for string samples...

and, if you're feelin generous, consider uploading them pgms once you're done...here's a token of goodwill:

and

lots of good stuff to build with. not all of these are usable right as is. i often layer these pgms etc. instpgms is really having a sample-based synthesizer in the mpc - it's completely changed the way/style in which i've been making my basslines.

dont mean to jack your thread ralphy but nym i got all these modules that i can sample from if you need some pgm's for keymaps. just pm me. and everything in the pic is maxed out with exb cards too.

oh man, that looks delectable...
i'd surely love some of that. pass it my way if you have the time/energy!
i advise building a "multisampling" project, that is a project runnning up the notes every 3rd, holding a decent duration for each one. make sure to turn all reverb off so the notes don't blend into one another.

nice stuff you got there.

strange that theyre all tuned wrong, am i right in understanding you, and not that you have the pgms set to be 'default' midi keymapped.
cos sometimes ive had old OS1 pgms that were set to be 'chromatic' ie: pad1 bankA= lowest note, pad16 bankD=highest note.....and to find that in OS2 theyre loaded in as standard akai/midi layout, where keys/pads arent set out chromatically.

just chin me if i'm way off, but thought i should try to be of assistance somehow
