is there any way to loop a sample contiounsly?

i know this might be a stupid question,but bear with my stupidity here for a second. how do you loop a sample continuously in mpc one ?i have samples that stop at like in the middle of beat 3,but i have no clue how to loop it.since if i tell the sequence to loop again at beat 4,there will be half a beat with just sillence.


i saw in a tutorial that you can loop contiounsly if you press the pads,and yeah that works,but that's an insane solution to this problem.i heard that in others samplers you can do that with two button clicks,so i assume the mpc must have such a feature. yeah yeah i am a scrub.

Yes this is possible. Set your sample in the sample edit window to loop, set the sample in the the program edit to note on, change the neighboring track in the sequence to a key group track instead of drum, go back to your drum program w the sample on it, hold down the pad with the sample you want to loop, and while holding that pad, change the current track to the the key group. Let go the pad and presto, never ending loop.

Here are you referring to the method i mentioned above? You can’t record your performance this way but you can playback any looped sound forever without having to re-trigger the pad.

that's what r rah suggested and i have seen tutorials doing that trick and i myself have done it too.i want to record it not just play it back. anyway, it probably doesn't exist(maybe the mpc beats daw has it no idea).

In what situation would one need the Sample to Ring out Endlessly?

Drone and atmospheric music is one reason. Create choices, the other. :wink:
