That phatt old school CRUNCH!

hey yo,

I was wondering... Is there any way you can give an MPC 1000 that grimey, old school, 12-bit sound (like the 60)?

thanks

PEACE

step 1: load/record sample into memory

step 2: assign to pad and pitch shift up at least 10.00 to 20.00

step 3: go to record mode and set input to main out

step 4: resample by recording pitched up sample

step 5: asign to new pad and pitch down same amount DOWN as you did up before resampling and fresh new 12 bit sound

right on, man!

Try the bit grunger effect as welll (page 83 in the manual;)

Alternately to the method above, you can load a sample with a sample rate of 11500 (I believe?) and then the sample will play an octave higher. Then you just pitch down 12 steps to get the original. You'll have the same results plus a lower bitrate sample.

thanks a lot!

bit grunger with compressor sounds tight

use bit quantization w/ dx plugins

does it actually work? does it sound good?

also, what about an external sampler (ex: s950) and then sample into the 1000 after that?

from a technical point of view, this method only removes high frequencies...

Get a 12-bit sampler. No plug-in can replicate that sound really.
Why bother sampling from an s950 into a mpc1000?
Just midi them up!

to keep it all in one box? to use more than just a few hundred kb of sample data at once?
just hinting here...

Just try it.

There are two sides to sampling resolution - bit rate and sample frequency. When you change the bit rate, you change the dynamic part of the sample (the vertical part in trim mode) or the amplitude. When you change the frequency (horizontal part), like in the pitch/resample tip above, you alter the resolution in time.

If you want a 12 bit sound (roughly) in the mpc, you need to resample the output at a very low level, then boost the level afterwards.

Have fun!

Seriously, all these ideas are great.
But do yourself a favour and find a 12-bit sampler on ebay,
you won't regret it. They're cheap. I bought my s950 for 75 pounds
and it rocks. Instant gritt.

i've been wondering about one of those, joey, but don't know if i could get aroundthe whole really limited memory thing...if i werent so broke right now/didn't have other things to pick up first, i'd definitely get one and see about it.
