warp / speed samples?

By apricotandpearjam Sun Jul 02, 2023 11:33 am
hi all.
i’ve been a LONG time MPC fan and started off with a 2000xl.
I’m now awaiting delivery of my new MPCX SE and had some questions about sampling.
Is there a way on the MPC to change the speed of a sample without the pitch (warping / time stretching) and how does it sound?
Thanks

Yes.

Just like 2kxl, anything stretched more than 10-15% sounds unnatural.

I had a 2kxlse2, I now have an X, your gonna love all the new shit you get to play with!

Major things imo.

Active line in.
Q-link / Q-link edit.
Built-in synths.
Grid edit (I never liked step edit in 2kxl but I happily tolerated it)
Color grouping of pads.
