Padkontrol question about pad banks?

[Said]

Hi

How can I arrange the scenes so that after i played the first scene/bank i anna move on to the next one so the sample is broken down/played chromatically?

On an akai mpc you store samples in the pad banks. There are four pad banks for the Akai MPC 2000xl labeled "A" through "D." Each bank has a button labeled "A" above the pads. Each bank holds 16 samples. you push the next bank and you move on with your song/sample

I use recycle to chop the samples and save m as a rex file then open it in reason nnnxt sampler. It automatically assigns the samples to the pads.
I also use guru sometimes.

Hope its possible and hope someone can tell me how to do that.


Thanks!

U know how to chop ur samples with recycle, you know how to load them to reason, u even know that it's better some time to load them in the nnxt intead of Dr. Rex. I'm pretty sure that u know also that by lowering the polyphony to 1 and raising the release to max, u can get that MPC style on reason when One sound cuts the other one.

So I'm sure that u arleady thought about setting the pad on Scene1 from C1 to D#2 (if u go Chromatically) and Scene2 from E2 to D#3 and so on.....
because when u load your rex in ur nnxt they are automatically assign from C1 (i Think) up chromatically according to the number of files that u have. So Configure ur padkontrol accordingly, ..
Scene 1 setup first pad note/cc# ... scroll to C1... second pad, .. u get the point.

Another option :
Most of the time When I have More than 16 chops and that i don't want to use too many scenes. I divide my samples in several nnxt. Lemme xplain

For this trick u need to activate Hardware Bus A & B in Reason
Edit/Preferences/Advanced Control
Bus A : padKONTROL port A
Bus B : padKONTROL port B

1. Open several NNXTs and load in your rex2 file.
2. in the 1st one : select sample 17 and higher and delete 'em
3. in the second one : only keep 17 to 32 , meaning u delete 1 to 16 and 33 and up ( this is if u have that much ...)
4. Keep on doing it to have several NNXT with max 16 samples each ( 20 NNXT max, )
if 320 samples are not enough u still can expand to others scenes)
5. Go to ur hardware device (the top one) click on Advanced midi control
in bus A channel 1: select your first NNXT, etc.....

6. The trick is to lock each of them to a midi channel in the hardware so all you have to do is change the midi channel on ur scene and the same pad/note can trigger different samples. Same note but playing on different NNXT so different samples.

U still can group the with a mixer or a cv merge to apply the same effect without consuming cpu resources!
And at least keep one midi channel unlocked for ur general stuff
