Hello peeps,

Does anybody has the same bugs, during trim mode......?????

If you press the play > to pad, the entire sample will play instead of the few secs to the end point.
If you switch between samples in trim mode, you always get the sampleschoicemenu

for example;

Sample1
Sample2
Sample3
Sample4

Is there a way to turn this option off?



Thanks already

Well, thats right.

but my 2500 never did that.
lets say the sample is 2 min long......

and you want to use the play > to pad at 3/4 of the sample with the endmarker at that place.
the 2500 played about 3 seconds before that play > to part.

For this much money you expect more logical steps in the machine.
Those JJos guys knows how to make fuctions and it stays fun during long beat sessions.

Peace

Seems you still don't understand the difference made by where your cursor is located. :?
It works just like JJ but with an added ability of being able to chose which marker to reference.

Nothing wrong with the logic it's just user understanding of how the multiple positions allow you to check chop points without losing your cursor point.
You simply use the cursor point that gives the flow you like.
If it didn't work that way you would be boxed in.
This method allows you to edit more like a Sound Editor on your computer.

I would never go back to a JJ OS unless he could actually work on the machines design as well.
Too much about it just feels forced of stuffed since he has to work within the confines of someone elses design.

You can always go back to your 2500 with JJ. :wink:
