PLEASE HELP WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?? (SAMPLING MPC1000)

ok, i know you can sample from a turntable, and mp3 player etc via midi ins and outs but i havent got that equipment yet...this is what i did can someone please tell me what im doing wrong

i downloaded a song with the sample i want to use i cut it in fruity loops to just the bit i wanted to use its only a 10second quick sample i saved it as a wav file it plays fine on my computer so i put my 128mb sound memory for my mpc into the usb i put my sample on it, put the sound memory card back into my mpc, press mode go to load find my sample i just put in there press play and it doenst play every other sound that come with the mpc plays but not the sample i put in, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong??? THANKS IN ADVANCE ITS APPRICIATED

is your sample 16 bits? 24 bit samples wont play in the mpc1000

how do you find out how much bits it is??? plus if its more than what the mpc1000 can play is there a way to reduce it?? thanks for helping and thats a tite tune!

it ses its 3072kbps on my computer is that too big it shouldnt be it only goes on for 7seconds not a big file or nothing...and thanks for replying its appriciated

try using some sample editing software......such as http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ (doesnt work on windows 7 ), or http://www.wavosaur.com/

if you click properties of file you should see its bit rate, and can also use the software to convert to 16 bit

thanks! so is 3072kbps to much??? or too little to play??? has it got to be 16bits because its only a 7second sample like i said it should play could there be anything else im doing wrong...sorry to waste a pros time ima newbie loool just got it bin dealing with fruity loops many years i want the real shit now haha

no its ok...im a big fan of grasovka

any sample in the mpc1000 needs to be 16 bit, no matter now large or small

herers some info on it...

i guess what you need is 16 bit with 44.1 kHz sample rate.....

if you open one of the samples which works in the editor and compare it to the sample you made you will hopefully see the difference under wav file properties....and then you can convert it to what you need

also make sure the sample names are not too long...the mpc1000 only reads the first 8 characters or so....been ages since i had one lol....so i may be wrong on this lenght

haahaa! thanks alot! so that editing softwear u told me to check out to make a bigger file to 16bits can i also make a smaller file to 16bits???

exactly...normally you can convert it to any rate you want for the available seelctions

in your case you want 16bit 44.1khz

The sample rates you require are standard CD sample rates 16 bit 44.1Khz.

iTunes is good for conversion, if you set import settings to WAV then it can batch convert samples to a suitable format. Its also free to download. Then just drag and drop the result to your CF card or send it by USB. I use this method regularly when my MPC is being funny about the samples I give it.

You can record to the audio ins of the MPC if your turntable amp has a Tape/Aux out via the output of your RIAA/Phono amp. Or sometimes can record from a headphone socket of a MP3 player into the MPC audio ins.

A lot of newbs get confused by midi. Midi is a control signal, its a digital code that is sent to say things like - C3 has been pressed - its velocity is 102 - C3 has been released - A flat 2 has been pressed etc. Absolutely no audio is involved on midi anywhere.

Hope this has been of help.
