saving 16 level sound

The scenario is I chop op my sample and send it to my pads. then I put each one individually into the 16 levels and use it to play the loop. The I proceed to save it and when I open none of the sounds that I changed in the 16 levels play in the sequences.

hmm im not sure. maybe you have to save the program too?

try that i guess. not sure what mpc u use..

how exactly are you saving?

all songs and sequences
and only savin the sounds that i use aka the two that i put in 16 levels.
and im usin a 2000xl

You have to save the programs also! Easiest way to do it is to save .APS - ALL PROGRAMS AND SOUNDS

The sounds are just the sounds itself, un-altered. The programs control all that other ish, you know, tuning, decay, filters, attack, levels, etc etc

^^^^^true

I never have a problem when I save, I save a program with sounds and save every individual sequence. when you load up it won't be in 16 levels mode, bu t when you play back the sequences everything will play just as you recorded it when the 16 levels was activated.

Off topic but, A trick i sometimes use: if you ever need to check the tuning of one of the pads of 16 level, you can enter step edit, hit the pad and look at the tuning. Then exit and hit undo.

I use this method when im finding a close tuning to a sample to match tempo. Ill 16 level the sample, find the close tuning near the tempo of the sequence. Then see what its tuned at. Turn off the 16 levels, go into program parameters-then tune the sample to it, then fine tune it even more. I like doing this because i can try out differant tunings all at once to get close fast-its better then flippin through tuning; and sometimes you might think a sample will work one way, but it will work another.

I guess i could remember the tuning of the pads but i never remember
