Samples stop when there are loads of notes in a sequence. .

Hi.

If im building a sequence and i start with just a couple of sounds looping and i trigger a long spoken word sample it plays fine over the loop. As i add more and more elements to the loop the triggering of the long spoken word sample is shortened to just a second or less. Ive tried this with different samples and different programs.

I also notice that as i add more and more elements to the loop, other samples such as drum loops that form the foundation to the loop start to drop out time to time. . .

Any ideas what this could be. Im on 2.11 OS.

Thanks, Ben

this too, was happening to me but on my mp500. It hasnt yet on my 1000. But i've only had it a few days. What i would do tho, is, add as many elements as i could before the one of the sample 'loops' drop out. And resample that. Then place that on a pad and play the rest of your samples over that. I would like to know y this happens tho. Incase i run into it on my 1000.

This happens when u use too many loops or long samples. Don't know what's the cause of this, but it's better (also for sequencing, timing etc.) to chop the loop.

i only have 1 loop and no other long samples. I just want to randomly trigger some of the long spoken word samples to create some variation whilst im performing. Its not like they loop round within the sequence.

The 1 loop that i do have is a drum loop and i trigger it as a loop, rather than the individual parts as its too complicated to play in live. . .

this happened to me with a chopped up loop, the very end sample just disappeared, but when i removed some drum sounds it would reappear!!

Its only ever happened once though.

So try removing some things or solo whatevers missing and see if it works

It works. When there is not much going on its fine, it only happens as i layer more drums and sounds together. When i mute parts out it reappears. . .

This is a HUGE HUGE bug!!!

1loop + 1 long sample is 2much sometimes. Sometimes looks like the polyphony is 10 voices instead of 32.

But chopping the loop and then record the chops shouldn't be that complicated?

Its not that complicated but im performing live and the loop is far too precise for a human to trigger in time live. . .

It will sounds awful ive tried. . .

the MPC 1000 can only play 32 saounds at the same time??????

Stereo samples...
Of course, never occured to me that a stereo sample uses 2 voices. And that's why it happens with loops most of the time, cuz chopped samples are converted to a mono sample, and loop stays stereo.

MPC1000 inherits all of the essential MPC features such as 32-voice stereo sampling, 64-track sequencing, and 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive MPC pads, fitting all the production capability into a compact, affordable package. 16MB of on-board.......

does the JJOS allow you more polyphony?
