Here's a very basic chopping tutorial I put up on my site. It has samples for you to use, too.

Bear in mind, this is for heads that are new to chopping, you won't get anything out of it if you already can chop pretty well... :wink:

Keep checking back though, cause i'm gonna put a video tutorial up sooner or later...

Glad you guys got something out of it... :)


Yo, Pgm, it's for a 2000xl, but it can be applied to really any sampler. I'm not too familiar with the 1000, but if it's so different to the point tha you can't use the tutorial, PM me and we'll talk...

the 1000 dont have zoning... computer based an all that.. so i guess ya tutorial works for 1000 but ud have to substitute the zoning bit for recommended software that'd do the same thing

TerroristProphecy - Word, good looks on that information. I'll put a little disclaimer for mpc1000 users on the tutorial...

DJkinetic - LoL, yeah those stacks were pretty wild, huh... 100 G's each stack. I was in the Army 4 years, and yes, CoolEdit is the sh*t. I do my stereo mixdown and "mastering" in it.

How would you slice the sample u into 8 equal parts so that you get the same results as you got in your tutorial with the mpc1000. I have recycle but can't get the parts chopped in 8 equal parts.

Is there a way to do it in mpc by itself. I know that if doesn't have zones but is there a work-around? I don't have my mpc yet. It is with the ups man as I speak. Just waiting for him to get here.

Thanks
