does it work on the 2000xl?

try it. the worst that will happen is it will not work. what do you have to lose?

i gave this a shot and my first impression is that it doesn't work. (meaning, the 'bug' in the 1000 is not in the 2.5k) however, i tried this on the 1k and part of the description in that bug worked but i'm not convinced i got the right end result so i'm also not sure i'm doing it right. i tried it real quick earlier and haven't had time to work at it more but so far from what i have done the bug doesn't exist.

Thanks for giving it a first shot. What part exactly worked on what didn't when you tested it on the 1K before?

yo cowbell thats the trick! you made that mp3 right? well how did you put
those loops to the same tempo? cus when i increase the gap between start
and end points, it's kinda difficult to get it to the same tempo as earlier. or,
that's the way it seems.. not sure thou cus im not on my mp at the moment
but thats the way i remember it was. :roll:

same shit here....for me, it sounds like some higher pitch and some distortion, but hell, the tempo does change...

just add extra data at the begining to compensate.

i matched the tempo with tuning in PGM :)

yeah, that's what i thought too. i kinda remembered something like the
crunched wavs were out-of-place tuning, like 00.56 or something.. but like
i said im not with my mp so it's all good then. god i love that feature :D

that sample that i had did this trick on sounded crazier with it slowed down. that shit had some synthesis type of effect on the bass and it was just really fresh. kudos to whoever found this out
