MPC LIVE easy CHOPPING!!!

This is bananas, it's that easy? I am getting back into sampling this is crazy.

LOL Where you been bro? This was one of the early features talked about. Its called the "lazy chop". With "sample lock" if you mess up you can go in and adjust the regions and the regions around that region will "snap" or adjust as you tweak. Super super super cool!

No need to buy libraries. With the portability of the Live you can record on the spot anything you hear.

I love sampling! Its all in do! Started out on a Casio SK-1 , then the SDK-5 up to the 950, MPC 2KXL studio plus and now the Live and X.

When "lazy chop" was invented, some people on this forum actually got offended by that name and all and said it shouldn't be used
SMH

Fundamentalists... smh

I think things like "it my be associated with unemployed people" or something were discussed

I didn't know nothing about this. I wasn't paying attention nor did l have any knowledge of this feature. Now l do. 7

It was once called real-time chopping. The Korg MicroSampler could do it and probably was the first but that can lazy chop incoming signals and lay them on the keys as you go.

That sounds correct. Im on the hunt for a turn table and a dope neddle. Ima be on some ish!

Yes, I too thought that "lazy" was a negative way of describing something so useful.

Very poor marketing on AKAI's part. . . or does it express a feeling AKAI has about it's consumers?
