Forum to discuss all matters relating to the MPC1000 and MPC2500 operating systems created by 'JJ' (all versions).

Streamlining the tempo detect function would vastly improve the workflow when dealing with loops. The best method I can think of would be for a sample to be selected, then the user simply to indicate the # of beats that the selected sample plays for. Based on the sample's length, the MPC would determine the BPM. [which could then be timestretched/ sliced by the user to fit into the song's BPM].

Is what I described above covered in any of the operating system improvements? If not, what is the best way to contact the JJ Collective?

Thanks.

i have already contact them about tempo detection. and it has been corrected in the last 4.01 os.

i sended the mail THREE day before they correct it. so they have done a quick good job on it :)

you will have to use the manual way in the TRIM mode/ Timestreck TEMPO detect.

it works like charm!

there is still the auto mode ( old mpc 1000 way and it is still buggy)

so go with the manual way ( you specify the time sig and the number of bar :=)

the manual way is based on the following equation :

BPM = 60 /((((sample end - sample start)/44100)/TimeSig)/Number of BAr)

sample end - sample start = go in trim mode and check the sample value.
Time signature = 4/4, 8/4 etc....
Number of bars = mesures
44100= this is the definition of our audio resolution

thx JJ
