Is this possible with zoning?

When I usually chop samples, i tend to be sloppy with setting the end point, I just let the end point go 3-4 seconds after where i SHOULD set the end point (this often makes for smoother chops without the need for timestretcing etc).

However, when using the 1k zoning function, it sets the end point right at the beginning of the next sample. Is there any way to set the end point of each point LATER than where the other sample begins?

I feel like ive missed out on something important. Peace

Hope yall understand what i mean

Can't help ya, but this should be in the 1K forum dude.

Ait. I think it was pretty general MPC question - most MPC's have zoning rite?

I know what you mean. I don't think that can be done within the zone function. What I normally do when I want to do that is just highlight the section I want and make that section a new sound (and then trim it properly to get accurate start and end points).

chop accurately

nope

yep

go into your step edit and make your sample stretch out further with the decay.
or
make your sample poly so that it plays out in full.
or
adjust your decay for the sample in params.

hfinal, there seems to be some confusion about what you actually want to do. I thought it was clear, but obviously not. So what exactly are you asking?

Ok, let me try to explain again.

The zoning function makes each chop END where the next chop STARTS.

When i chop without zoning i always leave 2-3 seconds at the end of each chop, since this often makes for smoother and more creative chops.

I want to know if it is possible to do this with the zoning function - to make each chop have its end point AFTER the next chop has its startpoint?

Hope this helped.

Thanks.

doesn't seem like it... atleast not on a 1k.
you can add the release, but that doesn't really change the end point.
i could be missing some funtion, but as far as I can tell, the end point is linked to the start point of the following chop...

no this doesn't work. but here's a trick. seems like you're doing a kind of patch phrasing, so when you're gonna chop, put your tempo so that the chops will overlap a tiny bit. ie after you chop, if the original sample was say 120 bpm, make your new tempo a little more - 124 maybe. now you'll have overlap. and if that isn't enough for you, timestretch individual pieces.

yea the bpm trick works real well..i use that trick too
