What up everyone! I'm back. I wanted to first let everyone know that I am very impressed with the way things are going here! KEEP IT UP! Its always nice to visit my mpc fam and be greated by new samples (thank you patalinda). I also saw the video that sparq made for the "jessiah glitch"... it motivated me to make my first (of many?) instruction videos specifically for mpc-forums.com. I really wanted you all to see what the glitch is all about, and then mess around with it. I hope the new OS doesn't ruin it, but it probably wont (I cant wait!!!!) I heard this glitch works with other samplers too... This glitch may have been discovered already but I found it independently. Lets call it the Jessiah glitch for now 
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3GJH8QFW
Its a big file, so go make a sandwich or something... I will also write out the exact steps as simple as possible:
1. Load at least one sample. (you can experiment with multiple samples, and also short/long samples)
2. Go to the TRIM page and select the main sample you want to "glitch".
3. Set the START to 0, and the END to 1.
4. In the TRIM page, set the LOOP to ON.
5. You can now preview the "glitched" file! Hold down PAD 13 and it will play the sample at a lower quality bit sound! It will repeat this sample if you hold the pad down for longer than the sample. It will also mix in other samples that may exist in your memory.
6. If you adjust the END value to 2, you will notice that the pitch is effected AS WELL as the sound/bit quality. The closer you get the END value to 31, the lower the quality and pitch get. 31 is the last value where you can still hear the sample, its almost unrecognizable though. Once you get to 32+, the mpc will only play what that tiny 32 samples sounds like. Also play around with these values because you can make some cool synth kinda sounds.
So you can't save the glitch file... it can only be saved and used if the original sample is in the memory still. What you can do is create some crazy sounds and then record them into ProTools, etc... You can even add effects for some insane sounds! Please experiment with this. I have actually taken drum samples and glitched them... then recorded the slightly lower quality/pitch drums into my computer. Then put this new wav file back onto the mpc and raised the pitch back up... This basically reduced the quality of the drums to add some grime to it. Get creative.
Let us know what you have discovered with this cool glitch! -Jessiah
