Swing test....

Can someone do a comparative swing test on the 60 and post up the results? Recordings are very helpful.

I'm trying to evaluate the differences in the feel of the following drum patterns:

Standard rock beat pattern (ie. kick, hat, snare, hat, kick, kick, snare, hat...) Also, consider adding a few double kicks (ie. ba-boom, boom, bap type pattern).

92 bpm
16th note swing @ 67%

184 bpm
8th note swing @ 67%
---------------------------------------------
92 bpm
16th note swing @ 71%

184 bpm
8th note swing @ 71%


Thanks so much,

i started doing the test
i have included mpc3k mpc2kxl and SP. i also have everything loaded in an asr10 thats here. the quantize in the asr works diff i cant find swing percentages just numbers to shift. does anybody know an equivalent setting in the asr sequencer?

we need more testers. i will uplaod the .snd's for other mpcs if cats are down.

We've done this test before, Drumat!c asked for it a while ago. IIRC I found that in the end they both sounded pretty indestinguishable but I somehow preferred the 180 bpm one.

with just a 60?

Yeah....i don't recall this test ever being thoroughly executed....I wanted to test the 60, 3000, 2000xl and the sp1200, sp12 turbo.....I wanna see how each machine vibes and reacts to their respective timing codes/shuffle variations.

Where's the dude from France who blessed us with the Sp-1200 vs. MPC 60 vs. MPC 3000 ? Dude could help...

no 1000 mayn??????? haha nah just joking

Sorry man....Sure you can include the 1000 in the line-up.

I'm just curious to see the differences in their sequencing engines.

naw i was kidding man. id be happy to get down with the experiment


sidenote

anyone with a 606 lets see how "shitty" the swing is since everyone hates it.i thought it was cool when i played with it.everyone hates it. ah its no mpc its no where near an mpc. but shoot it seemed prety good to me.

Does a 606 have sampling capabilities? If not, the test cannot be rendered by it because all the machines we're testing require the same drum samples.

great idea....but where are some results ?

:roll:

yep i think it can load wav files like the mpc 1000s
