Need some help with my MPC Element please

Post by loulou »

Hi peeps

Bought an MPC Element as i needed a pad controller and this one seemed to be the thing. But how do i go about taking a sample, say a 30-bit of a song and then chop it and spread it over the pads? Like old school hiphop sampling style? And what about using it as a midi controller for ableton? Cause when i use it as a controller it works okay, but when i press "Full Level" it just plays another note?

I would appreciate some help here"

Thank you all ;)

Yeah but its the new MPC Element, which is a software-based controller.. I want to be able to use the included software and then also use it as an MPD sort of thing in Ableton Live, which works to a certain extent. It just maps every button/pad to notes and not mapping the stop, rec, octave up/down.. Can you do that manually?

Is there any way in Ableton Live to map the octave up/down on midi controllers that doesnt have dedicated buttons for that? And what about mapping the 'Full Level' button to do what its supposed to instead of playing a note?
