I just got an MPC1000 a few weeks ago, (previously used Roland SP samplers but I really liked the multiple assignable outputs) and made my way mostly through the manual. I am thinking of getting rid of it simply because you cannot record a sample meant to be looped and play it back AS A LOOP unless you hold your finger on the pad the whole time? This is one of the basic functions I need to do with a sampler and all the Roland samplers can do this easily with one button. I can't use the sequencing feature to loop it because the sample is a certain length (in seconds) and its impossible to set the length of a sequence to a particular time. Also doing that would prevent me from layering loops of different lengths and would probably make the MPC useless to me anyway. Oh and many of my loops have no BPM.
What is the simplest form of JJOS that can do this? When I looked at the comparison chart it was a little confusing which features would make this possible but it seemed as if I'd maybe need to get JJOSXL which is fine but since there doesn't seem to be a manual for that one written by a native english speaker, I'm not sure I can use it. The official JJOS manuals are completely unreadable to me.
Any ideas? I want to make the MPC work for me but I'm getting closer to reclaiming my SP555 everyday. Is the feature of hitting a pad and having the sample play over and over until I tell it to stop such too much to ask?
