Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

Okay i have two questions and I have read through the manual trying to figure it out
(I looked around page 67-69, but couldn't quite get it) I have a sample i would like to sustain but when i try and loop it I get the length and sound I want, but there is a a gap between the sample loop sort of like this:


I-----------I.........I-----------I

but when I try to shorten it to see if it fixes the gap between the looped sample the sample just gets too short and sounds like an 8-bit sound.Can someone help me figure this out?
I change the start and end points and the decay is there something else i should try?


and also i am runnig OS 1.11
should i upgrade?



what would i gain? or lose?


thank you

First of all, upgrade that damn software.

How many samples does the loop contain (in trimmode)?
By AnthonyM89 Thu Mar 19, 2009 10:00 pm
haha will do

but the sample in trim mode is a single sample
like a single bass sound or guitar sound that i would like to be able loop that single sound or somehow make it sustain and then map it out over the pads so it is like a bass pack

is there any way to do this?

No, Eimer meant how many sample words (or whatever it is called in theory) does your sample contain? Usually this number is displayed in trim mode.

A sample is one dimensional. It describes the values of a specific "time" in the wave.
You have 44100 samples in one second.

You can try to send me the wave so i can see what's wrong, and don't worry i won't steal it. ;-)

PM me for a mail.
