from Reason song to MPC4000, HELP !!

Hello,

I have purchased the MPC a few months ago, (I am very new to the MPC world) I have always worked with cubase and Reason.
I wanted to export my Reason projects to the MPC, so I exported each song as a midifile, saved it in midifile type1, and then used Ak.sys software to transmit the samples to the MPC.
I have successfully assigned the midi regions to the corresponding samples and loops, BUT:
I think my method is not appropriate because :
I make 1 program for 1 track (or sample) and then assign the parts to the right programs containing the samples.
I can load the sequences separately and it works ok, BUT if I try to load all the sequences and samples and programs, I loose all the assignations !!

somebody told me that I must make only 1 program containing all the samples for 1 sequence, is it true ?
I have never found any good explanation about this on the user manual, but maybe my english is still too bad.

another problem :
when I make my loops on the computer (using sound forge and recycle) I don't have any clips or scratches each time the sample loops, it just loops perfectly, but when it's in the MPC, I hear clicks on the end of the loops most of the time ...

I also use drones (indian tanpura drones) and it's very hard to loop them at a specific tempo, if I was able to play the samples direct from the disk it would be cool !! (I could use very long samples) anyone can tell me a trick ?

Anyway, if anyone had the same problem and can help me it will be greatly appreciated !!

Thanks,

Sylvain

OOOPPPSS !

I just got it !

Seems like I forgot about the program changes, and also forgot to give numbers to the multis ... also used INT-A and INT-B instead of PART1,2,3 etc....

maybe my question was so stupid that nobody wanted to answer!!...sorry

I still have problems to loop the drones though...

et oui, c'est la vie...

oui enfin bon, si tu es capable de me dire comment looper parfaitement des bourdons ou sons continus sans toucher à l'enveloppe, et sans aucun bruit perceptible, je suis preneur !
Pour ce qui est du fonctionnement général de la MPC, bin faut bien débuter comme tout le monde, (quoi que ça va très vite en ce qui me concerne), je pensais trouver ici de l'aide plutôt que de l'ignorance ou de la moquerie ...

you're a touchy guy sly,

keep cool and chill for a minute

my answer was not meant to make you look silly or whatever and meant no disrespect

please believe it, being polite helps more in life than insulting people

are all french people that arrogant, or is it only people from Bittany ?

Arrogant ?

Sorry it was absolutely not about your reply, just about the few PMs I received...much more piss take than real advice. Sorry for the confusion. I was just expecting some help, I know many people here are MPC virtuosos...

I have never been unpolite, or insulting
and above all I am not french

ok

I misinterpreted the word "ignorant" as something not being really polite and thought you were talking to me because of the word "tu" which means "you" in a singular form

so where you from ? Isn't Brittany an area in France ?
'cos your french seems pretty good

ok sorry.
no, "tu" is also a friendly form in the positive sense !

I am actually french, but living in Brittany which is a small country in France, we sometimes don't consider we are french (just like Irish or scottish for UK) not the same culture, own language, music, etc...
just joking !


We are very few people using the MPC4000 over here and as we are very bad english speakers the manual is sometimes not very helpful.

I have another question (that might be also stupid) :
I have 3 bars and 4 bars loops assigned to the pads and playing at the same time, the 3 bar loops play in 4 bar mode which is normal.
But is there any way to avoid this and have the 3 bar loop looping after the 3rdbar and the 4 bar loop at the 4th bar ?
thanks

can't help you on that last question
sorry, maybe next time
