Triggering slices with midi notes?

so i’ve got this slice triggering thing working via MIDI using the JJOS on the MPC1000 to create patterns that can be triggered via pads.

for those who don’t know/don’t have one - the patterns can be made up of any kind of data, CC’s, notes, expression, pitch bend blah blah blah.

the problem i’m facing is the same as you all - and thanks for all the pioneering work here!

it works well when sending either:

CC17 plus incremental values and a Note to trigger.

CC48 (crossfader set to start/end like license suggested) plus incremental values and a Note to trigger.

problems…

CC17 is much laggier and the note has to be offset significantly (CC msg at 01.01.01, note cannot before 01.01.03 or it will retrigger previous slice - not sure how many ms that equates to) BUT the sequencer can record the incoming data and play back your (laggy) performance.

CC48 is waaaaay quicker, almost perfect for playback… but as we all know crossfader data cannot be recorded by the sequencer.

i’m going to try combining the two but i assume it will be hella slow.

any thoughts from the midi slice trig masterminds? or anyone with a 1k using it this way?

thoughts, help, abuse all welcome.
