Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

hi everyone!

is there a way to assign 2 samples to a pad BUT 1 with efx, the other one just plain..?

it's about adding a filtered dublicate of the sample to the same sample and activate both of them with one pad at the same time.
1 pad just normal without any efx, the other one is just the low frequency of the first sample.
it's for adding not a whole bassline, but more bass to a sample.

i hope you know what i mean. :)

if you do know what i mean, and also know that there is no way to do as i wish or it would cause no effect at all, is there any other way to increase the low freq. of a sample (on a pad)?


help is highly appreciated!

peace ya'll

edit:
and how i'm i supposed to get a song i've created to the computer?
when i press [status] it says 16%wav 96%sq. whatever that means....
and the rest record time is 8 seconds so i can't record my song as sample an then flip it to the pc.

what else can i do?

for you, who has obviously not even bothered to even glance at the manual - the answer is no. your songs will be stuck on your MPC forever.

ok. no problem. i'll take a new mpc for every beat and never shut them down.

no srsly: name the page and i'll check it out.
on the german manual its page 90ff and it says exactly that i have to record the sang as a sample.

If you don't want to put your own time into your problems, then why should i even care using my time on you? I even told you where to find the answer silly fool.

Eimer LOL!

FreshLab: p.64 of manual (ENG) explains how to resample MPC's output. But if I were you, I'd just connect MPC's stereo-outs to the soundcard input(s) and record directly into a DAW or audio editing software. You will need 1 or 2 audio cables, depending on you setup. I'd also suggest that you not simply just record the song on your PC hard-drive, but also record different parts as a multitrack. For example: kick drum track, snare drum track, hats, bass line, etc. This will give you more flexibility in mixing and adding virtual instruments using your DAW.
