Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Last night I was trying to make a beat. I was timestretching a sample to a specific BPM - 85. I was trying have the sample loop correctly in a 2 bar sequence, but it was a bit short of 85 BPM. I think I had to jack up the BPM's on the sequence to around 90 for it to work. I tried using adjust, that didn't work, as well as different timestretching presets. Also the number of beats was correct. Is there a way to timestretch to the exact BPM that you want? Is there any other way than just trial and error? Any help on this will be appreciated! :)

fuggedaboudit! Figured it out! On the BPM match page I had to put my sample on either loop or region rather than trim to get a good accurate timestretch.
