Hey so I downloaded the free 3.12 version of the JJ OS. I didnt think the free version allowed you to save, but I guess it does. 3.12 doesnt let you chop in stereo either huh? I guess Im going to have to spend the $50 to get OS1, darn...

BTW, u sure u are talking about 'sliced samples' instead of patched phrase?


Im talking about taking a stereo sample and slicing it into pieces to make into a new program. So yes 'slice samples' not patch phrase. Its not chopping in stereo for me. Maybe its something I need to set. BTW what is that Linn drum machine in your signature?

Hmmm. That's odd. It should convert it into stereo chops. At least that was one of the reasons I upgraded back then I remember.

That pic in my sig is the Linn Midi Studio that was pronounced during NAMM in 86' but never was released because of Linns bankruptcy.

This is also the design Linn took as the base for designing the MPC when contracted by AKAI. U probably recognize the significant 16 square pads.

It actually was the genesis of the mpc series.

LINN
MIDI Studio


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The MIDI Studio was never released, but was announced at the 1986 January NAMM show.

The Linn MidiStudio is a new version of the original Linn
9000 digital drum machine & midi sequencer. All the 9000
features are retained including dynamic buttons, cue tempo,
repeat, interchangeable sounds, 32 tracks per sequence and
more. In addition, a 3.5" DS/DD disk drive and sampling are
standard equipment.

The MidiStudio has 16 dynamic pads, and sampling can be
applied to one or all pads simultaneously. Sampling rate is
adjustable from 10kHz to 50kHz for up to 30 seconds of
sampling time. The new 5.X software used in the MidiStudio
is also available to Linn 9000 owners.

Options will include full SMPTE syncing and 16 trigger inputs. The MidiStudio is two separate pieces, the
main unit with volume, pan & drive. The control panel is detachable for console or lap operation. An
optional 100 ft. cable is available. List $5990.00

the paid version of the JJ OS lets you chop in stereo. Not the free version. On the JJ OS website in the section "The difference of Ver3.12 and OS1", it says, "Even if a stereo sample slices, it is a stereo. (PATCHED PHRASE is mono)". So im guessing you need to pay in order to have stereo chopping, which is completely ridiculous...
