a loop question

there is a thing i wanted to know. since english isn´t my first language, my explanation could be a little bit confusing.

if my sound goes like this...

----------

and the loop goes like this...

----(------)

is it possible to hit the pad and it starts at the beginning and loop the sound afterwards?

it should be like this...

i hit the pad and, ----(------)(------)(------)(------)(------) until i release the pad.

if i hit the pad again, ----(------)(------)(------) and so on.


haha, do you know what i mean?

thanks

Yea. You could do this in MPC1000 with the OS 3.08, Idk how it goes for the 2000(XL)'s though.
What you do is set the loop points, and set the pad to play the whole sample.

thanks for the reply!

anyone here who knows, if this works for the 2000xl too?

Go to

trim (Shift+5)

Loop (F2)

Go to Loop and Set it to On.

Adjust To, End and Length to your liking.

Read the manual

thanks, that´s it!

i guess i read it over.

i have no clue what your diagrams mean but learn how to chop your samples and program them in the sequence and you wont need to ask such questions.

On the MP I never really used the loop function. Giving each chop their own pad was better for me because you could rearrange them, or silence one of the samples if you needed to. Looping might be useful live though.

i don´t want to loop a whole bar or something longer.
i asked for that function to loop just little junks like 8th or 16th notes.

Well, I've never seen a sampler that has a loop function WITHOUT loopstart and loopend point settings. Would be a strange thing.

peace

word. i never use loops. plus chops make your layering more precise. the longer your sample the more likely things will be off beat. especially drums.

I know what u mean.
I've never tried it that way on the xl so I dont know if it can be done.

But as stated above, u can be more precise if you chop the whole sample into small pieces and play it back however u want them to be played.

Chop small

it works just like djether said.

besides that, i asked just out of curiosity because i heard this in a song and was thinking about how it would be done.

another cool trick to work along with what you described (OP). go to the sound that you looped in the program screen and mess with the decay (or delay watever its called, the oposite of attack) and you can then get the loop to fade itself out while looping.

this is great for notes that you want to make longer but not have them unaturally abruptly end when you let go of the pad.

theres mad uses for this trick just be creative with it.

^^^ Yeah, it's called decay. That's pretty cool. If you run out of slots for effects, I think you could loop the end of a sample (for example a snare), and decrease the decay to make it sound like Reverb.
