Does somebody knows what the unit in the start/end point of the trim-section means ?
If i want to shorten a sample for using in a beat with 120 bpm for a quarter second, how many unit are this?
Thank you.

The units are SAMPLES. At a sampling frequency of 44.1khz you will get 44,100 samples per second. So a two second sample would be approx 88,200 samples.

A quarter second sample will therefore be 44,100 divided by 4 = 11, 025 samples

So the numbers for Start and End show location points within your sample as a whole.

To check this, set your MPC to sample for 1 second and check the numbers. Peace.
