Hi there
I have samples exactly cut to 1bar at specific tempo , only some of these start before the time , so I am trying to have a sample start point on the right beat ( later than sample start) but in order to have a correct loop afterwards have the loop start point before the sample start point .
First thing i tried , with gear tab / loop lock off in program edit mode (warp samples /sample window) I can have the loopstart point after the the sample start point but not BEFORE that sample start point
I used to do that with other samplers .
Also tried in sample edit mode
Is there something i am completely missing here maybe?

Thought about another solution which would be to copy that sample right after itself and then trim it on the first beat i want to the exact bar length , but still cant figure how to do that in sample edit mode
(copy does it as another sample i do not know how to join two samples one after the other as one single sample)

I guess i could. Never tried . Thanks a lot . I recorded a long track of modular stuff and isolated a whole bunch of loops , maybe a bit too fast . When i pad play them it becomes obvious i need to set the start point for half of them . A pain to play off time stuff . when not completely atmospheric i mean.

I think i'm going back to the mac for editing then.

If you guys know of a solution for complete start point loop independance inna MPC i'm in .
or splicing samples together in sample edit? remember you could do that with Akai S950 way back...

does that sounds really good when you have a full on loop?
modular tends to incorporate lots of (sound) changes, cutting up does not -always- result in 'realistic' chops
