Then in the MPC slice it non destructively and you can then access the slices on each pad layer using the 'Slice' parameter. So for example, a kit that uses 64 samples would now only need a single WAV sample, hence only one sample would show in the loaded file list. You could make your 'stacked' samples either in a computer audio editor or in an MPC sequence with all your individual samples triggered from successive events (use 'bounce to sample' to create the stacked WAV). After creating your stacks purge all the unneeded samples and just keep the stacks. Chop them using 'region chopping' (if your events were equally spaced) or threshold chopping.
Hey Tutor
Single WAV files and non destructive chops seem like the way to go yea. With the bounce to sample feature and region chopping it shouldn't take so long indeed.
Thanks for the tip!
if you have a computer there’s a free software that does this for you called octachainer. It’s for octatrack so it will output a wav file and an OT file which contains the slice data for octatracks. You could just ignore the ot file and use the wav. Saves you messing around in an audio editor as it’s evenly spaced for you. Can import whole folders. And auto normalise, export in 16/24 bit etc.
Also if you have an iPad or iPhone there’s a great app called sample crate. It allows you to quickly organise kits and also has the sample chain export feature. It’s like £2.50 iirc. Will save you tons of time
