Bit converter... yeah it's real!!!

The next upgrade is a schedule on the 20th.
Ver4.70
Bit convert addition
( 16bit==>12/8bit)

We're finally gonna have it!

did someone say gritty drums?

yeah bro. I feel like I'm dreaming.
I knew the processor was capable all along fom reading the specs a while back.
Now the dream will become a reality!

I gotta celebrate with some breakfast...

OOH GOD!!!!!

JJ is the ish. I spent all day learning the new OS yesterday, and am still learning.

Anyway, related to this, I was wondering if it is possible to improve the quality of sound for the efx.

For instance the Reverb on the MPC doesn't sound very good, and I was wondering if it could be improved? Thanks.

i just threw up on my sister i'm so excited, and she's all the way in california

i reckon this doesn't actually change the bitrate, it's still 16 bit, but i bet it quantises the bits (exact same sound). that way it still outputs 16 bit, distorted, but doesnt sound like 16 bit.

ie it's like a 1 time effect like timestretch

this is great!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!!!!!!!!

I'm truly stunned.
This is dope

pimp: what i suggest is not using the reverb on the mpc1000 as a final say in your reverb attempts. just use it as a 1st kind of idea of what a decent reverb would sound like and then use a better quality direct x plugin when you track out into a software program.

i use the reverb more and more for that reason, just as a kind of "clue"

That quote is worthy of a sig.

But anyway, we'll find out more about the bit reduction process (hopefully by later tonight). I'm sure it's similar to what you described, as the end-reult will still be 16-bit, but with the conversion inbetween still being real (unlike the bit grunger effect).

I know that JJ is running out of room, will this take anything away from previous versions? Just sounds too good to be true. All my love to JJ.

I doubt it will remove anything, but we'll find out later. There's still a bit of code to work with (very little), so I doubt we'll be missing anything.

this cant be true. can't wait to hear/try this out.

I knew this was possible. the jj keeps making the "impossible" possible. I am still in disbelief!!! I wanted this function for soooooo long! I could reach in my pockets again and shell out another $30 for these guys. they deserve it!

codewise i imagine this isn't too huge. it's an offline effect, a 1 time application (LOVE the ALL option!!!!) that forces the sample to interesting internal stretches

pitching down a 12 bit sample waaaaaaay down is such a nice ring
!!!!

idea forming

velocity layers
all 1 sample, 16 pieces of a chop or something on LAYER 1 of your pads.

save the program to its own folder
clear mem
load program/samples
convert all to 12 bit
save samples in folder
clear mem
load first program/samples
convert to 8 bit
save samples

load all samples, 16 bit, 12 bit and 8 bit

create a velocity layer program with each pad having 3 samples, the first triggering from 0-40, 2nd from 41-80, last from 81-127

assign qlink 1 to NOTE ON and LAYER

result: you can sweep through the qlink in play to have your sounds change bitrates.
