dunno if this has been done before, but..

..according to my calculations (based on mpc2000),

44099.99993 as a sample length = 1 second


that's gotta be useful for something

i did have something for tuning and time difference but it isnt right..(back to the drawing board)

Sample length of what kind of sample....how much decay....wet or dry?

Dont think them numbers mean shiiiiiiiiiiiiit. What you tryin to formulate?

you have waaaaay tooooo much time on your hands....LOL

in the trim window, it has the length but it's only a number.
i guess it's the sample length of the entire editable recording, so it doesn't matter about the decay etc.


and it didnt take long.

60/(time X number of beats) = BPM,

so

(60/BPM) / number of beats = time

just try it.
get a sample that's 352800 in length (use trim). now if my number is correct, 352800 = 8 seconds. so if you loop it and say that the number of beats in that sample = 9 beats, then, if that number is correct for sample time, bpm should equal 67.5

i dont have my MPC with me here but i garauntee that's what will happen.

And your point is?

You need to concentrate on how it sounds and stay away from them numbers
Almost sounz interesting, but probably more hype over substance

also it depends on the sample rate in your music.

If your .wav file is 44.1k then yes it has 44100 samples per second.
If it is sampled at a lower rate like 22k it has 22050 samples per second and so on.

hmm...ok then

i was just tryin to learn my MPC a bit more..never knew what the numbers for the sample length meant in terms of seconds.
i thought i met aswell share what i found out with the rest of the forum.

oh...didnt realise about that
seems i've wasted my time after all lol

No you haven't. Make sample rate part of your formula. When you sample from a sample cd and you know the tempo of a loop, it's easier to calculate the endpoint then to do it by ear.

(beats x 44100 x 60) / bpm = endpoint (if startpoint is zero)


For example with a 1 bar loop of 160 bpm:

(4 x 44100 x 60) / 160 = 66150

thanks, good to have people makin positive input

Cool.... I can appreciate that little tip

Differnt strokes an all that stuff!

Also if that formula works on a ASR 10 (which I think it should, because it is 44.1 khz as well) then you just gave me an idea for calculating bpm more accurately than tapping on the mpc "tap tempo"..
