My first post on the site that helped me make the right decision and buy an MPC-1K I love it! I love being able to get home, turn it on and wack out some beats withou messing around setting up or sitting infront of a computer (where i spend ALL day).
I bought it specifically for live performance. I want to DJ, not with Records but by firing off loops- I thought the AKAI would be perfect for this. I assumed functionality I cant seem to find.
Basically i expected to be able to assign a sample/ to a pad, with loop points- all good so far, how ever the problem is I expected to be able start and stop loops by hitting the assigned pad, like a switch:
First tap starts the loop, loop plays untill
2nd tap, which stops playing that particular sample.
The MPC Doesnt seem to give me an option to do this. I have to set the pad to NOTE ON to make the sample loop, but then I have to hold the pad down!
Can you help me? IS there another way I can do this?
Should I be putting the recorded samples into a sequence/track and can I assign the sequence/track to a pad- i havent been able to work out if this can be done.
Help Appreciated, look forward to contributing loads to these forums.
