You been working on a sequence and you luck up and found something that was tight as hell to sample. Also this sample will really push your sequence over the edge, if you had it looping in the background. But, the problem is the sample is a tab faster or slower than your sequence you working on and the place you are getting the sample from, you can't speed it up or slow it down.
A lot of you guys, may have your own ways of performing this tasks. So this post may not apply to you. But, I read somewhere in the forum. Someone with this problem and he use qlink to control the pitch of the sample and he recorded the sample into the sequence. Once he change the sequences and return back to the sequence the sample was off. This guy really need the help. So I'm going to shine a little light on this guy and hope it helps.
The easiest way and I repeat. The easiest way for me to over come this task is and I'm trying to make this long story, short.
First, I create a new sequence with the same tempo as the sequence that, I want the sample the loop in. But, I will only record the sample in the new sequence, because I need to hear the sample loop by itself, to perfect match the tempo. I leave the mpc4k playing in record mode to hear the metronome clicks, with the sample looping.
Next, I will go to the program of the sample and into the pitch page of the program. Now, move the cursor to [+00.00] under [Tune]. I slowly move the tune value to, I hear the sample start to lock in with the metronome clicks and sample loop sound seamless.
(Note) You got to have the ear for this. Like beat matching to turntables.
Now that's done. You can now record the sample in the sequence you want and don't have to worry about it drifting off tune. Don't forget to save your work after you finish or everything will lost.
