Hey I'm glad you did bring this up. I am learning a bunch from all this. The search function for this website never seems to give me the answers I seek.
As far as P-locking different samples using the up and down keys or the volume knob. You cannot preview the sample while trying to do this (function+Enter) so if you don't remember if it was sample #20 808snarehi--- or #21 808snarehi-- your just gonna have to guess which is the right one.
I'm gonna try the sample chain method now after reading these comments.
I like the idea that the parts change the FX settings and scene settings. will have to figure out how to setup different recording methods for parts as well. Right now I still don't even know how to actually record
It seems like using banks for different sample assignments is the way to go for now if you want a per pattern type of feel then you dive into each bank like patterns are mini sequencers which only adjust the current bank kit's samples.
I feel your pain darenager as scrolling through sample slots for p-locking is how I have been struggling, loosing inspiration. All the menu diving reminds me of my Akai s5000.
Everyone says the next update is gonna blow our pants off so lets see what happens.
I'm also gonna see what parts do for midi tracks if anything.
