Hey,

So in standalone there is no real time warping :/

My question is how did people get around this before warping with other mpcs ? Do you just play chops that are a different tempo then the project and experiment with the project bpm until it sounds good together?

I tried the destructive warp function it doesn't sound great.

Just wondering what people did do or still do to get around warping when it's not possible.

Thanks

Haha your funny man... How do you think its done then :hmmm:

please explain how you get 3 samples each at different tempos into the same key? if the pitch determines the lengths and they all require different pitches to fit properly, how would it be possible to match the key?

Use timestretch..
If you want to change the key of a sample use pitch shift.. wich basicly is timestretching too...

Timestretch: change tempo, same pitch
Pitch-shift: change pitch, same tempo

The 2000 classic doesn't even have timestretch, and you can't preview sounds programmed to pads while sampling. There isn't a workaround. You just need to use the sampler every day until you train your ear enough that it catches samples that will fit together from the jump.
