Slicing and keyboard mode question - how does this work ?

hello,

completely new to Maschine with the new Mikro v2 ...

so i load a sample .. slice it onto 4 pads ... when i switch to keyboard mode only the first slice is playable on the 16 pads .. fair enough i guess ..
then i delete all slices but the first, truncate the sample so only the audio of the first slice is left ... when i switch to keyboard mode now all the pads light up but only the first one plays all other pads don't produce any sound

so i start from scratch ... now i keep the 4 slices/pads and figured out that keyboard mode always applies to the last used/selected pads .. fair enough again ...

so what i really want to do is to make a pad bank with several variations of those 4 slices/pads .. they are rhodes chords, so ideally i want to be able to play each chord in a variety of pitches ... so i duplicate the pads to the rows above and edit the root note .. and now somehow everything gets messed up, once i duplicate one pad, the others are not assigned to the same slice anymore, pad 3 on the bottom row is now playing slice 2, pad 4 slice 1 and so on randomly across the board

i'm really confused .. and really lost

how would i go about doing this: slice a 4 chord progression keyboard loop onto 4 pads and then make a group out of it with different pitches of those chords ...

 

Load the sample
Press and hold duplicate
Tap the original pad and then the other destination pads
Press sampling>edit and trim each pad
Shift+Pad Mode to go into keyboard mode.

 

Or just slice it in the slicer, then drag it via the drag icon to a new group, this will put all the slices on their own slot (Pad)
Definitely the fastest way

 

weird .. now it works most of times as expected (using duplicate without truncate) .. not sure what the problem is, sometimes i still end up with a slice that when put into keyboard mode only the first pad plays

pretty weird, not sure if it's a bug, feature or just my ignorance

 

Is there a way to do this on Mikro MK2 since the 2.4 update on the HARDWARE CONTROLLER? I've tried to do this like the manual says and it doesn't work. I can only play the sounds I sliced from my break on individual pads in keyboard mode. I can however play them in pad mode if I do it in the software like Tooshka said ^^^^.

 

Do you set C-2 octave in keyb mode?
