hi there!

Pitch Shift is a process that can change the pitch of selected sample without changing the length of the sample............
ok.

WHY i get different sample numbers when i pitch shift a sample???????????

for example: original sample (st:0 end:410,431)
after pitch shift +01.00 (st:0 end:411,538)

Have you been up on the s/w upgrades & release notes for your mpc?

I found somewhere in one of the addendums where it states:

"START and END settings in FINE not consistent with range numbers after pressing TRACK."

"TRIM and LOOP endpoints can be unsynced, causing editing errors."

"Touching any function button while unit performs long pitch shift type operation could interrupt the process."

"FINE LOOP window was actually FINE TRIM window."

So depending on what version of OS you have, it could be that this is a bug you're dealing with.

Just my $0.02

I bought my mpc 6 months ago.. So , I didn't upgrade because i think it works with OS2.

From the way things look, I'm seeing a majority of 5k owners crying out for the need of another OS upgrade. That joint still seems to do what it wants to do without the consent of the user, even with a new OS.

It use to be that folks would taunt at how there were too many bugs within the 4k to warrant a purchase or use.

But as time went on, that apparently isn't the case after all.
