Hi everybody. I wanted to make some fast chops for my sample library. And here is my question. I just want to Turn on mpc, record sample, then slice f.e. Break loop and then export this loop as wav file into my sample/loop folder (but after slicing it). Does anybody know is it possible without saving whole project? I've tried to use export function from file but as i understand it is to export sequence not only wav file :hmmm:

Yes from the Sampler Page

Export is the wrong terminology here.

Save, a normal ass save is what your wanting after slicing.
BUT, you said "unedited" so that would mean no slicing, no processing of any kind.

Record in, slice and "convert to new program with samples", save that program w/ samples
or save the whole project.

Terminology is part of us helping you. We'll know how to zero in to what's going on and possibly help out.

There's also a manual that actually describes every single function in the sample editor pretty well, if anyone gets bored and wants to learn how to use their fancy toys.

Thanks for your responses and help. I've tried to wrote about my workflow case clear as i can but sure I'll try to stick up more to terminology in future.

So after little change i would maybe ask in this way

"I just want to Turn on mpc, record sample, THEN TRIM f.e. Break loop from recorded sample and then save this loop as wav file without saving whole project or converting it into program"

Yeah I wrote "but that way i can save unedited sample" in response to suggestion to use 'save as' from sampler page. I know that I can save sample after recording it. But this option is not what i need because i can't put loop to sample bank. I must trim it at least.

I am not understanding "loop to sample bank".
This is saving slicess to a program, not a whole project.


pg 185 in os2.9.0 hardware mpc manual.

"Converting or Assigning Slices

You can assign your new sample directly to a pad from Chop Mode. You can also convert it into a new program or patched phrase. To convert or assign a sample, press and hold Shift, and then tap Convert at the bottom of the screen to open the Convert or Assign Slices window."

I mean "save loop to sample bank" as a idea of using for this moment mpc one as a audio editing machine. Like just edit recorded sample but not for making a beat in this moment or saving it in project for next time but just for record loop, trim that loop, save it as wav, ( for whatever folder i named it 'sample bank' for exaple but it can be whatever)

You can save the Sample as soon as you record it from the Sampler Page. If you wanna Chop it, you'll have to Convert to a Program. Then go to main screen, pencil, then save the Program into whatever folder you wanna save it to...for later use
