Let's say I have a sample of a single bass note from a record loaded into my mpc. Now I am going to play up/down the keys on my midi keystation and try to create a bassline. I understand that the midi keys send different note values to the mpc and essentially it tells the mpc to play the sample at a certain pitch. I don't think the mpc has the ability to detect which note your sample was played in so...
My question: If the original sample's note value can't be determined, then how can the sample be played across the keys and given a true note value (c,d,e,f,g,a,b)?? I'm very confused on this subject. Can anyone provide detailed info on how the midi keyboard note values given to the sample on the mpc interact with each other?
