so ive been cutting samples on the mp latley and ive noticed that it takes a great deal of time to adjust the bpm, and adjust the pitch of my samples. in fruity loops this step takes me less then 5 minites to do and in the mpc it takes me about an hour to do.

in FruityLoops i usualy just take my sample time stretch it then tonalize the sample to maintain the same sample length while being able to adjust pitch freely but not being able to export the sample with these keen settings keeps me from exporting to the mpc

is this possible to do in the mpc 1000?does the mpc even have a function similar to this that i am not aware of?
is there a simpler quicker way of adjusting samples in the mpc without having to go back and forth in timestretch

i really wanna like the mpc but for me this is whats keeping me from liking it.. the setup takes foreverrrr


is there someone that can help me with this
i really need some help :(

I'm afraid it won't work the way it does with FL..
I had to get used to that at first myself. After rethinking the way I work my samples a bit.. I'm not missing nothing on the MPC.

But ya.. I remember that timestretching and re-toning thing was real handy :wink:

Really try to aproach the MPC diffrently.. it might not allways be easy. But you'll get flowing with it.
I remember my first MPC beats, working with my FL mind set...
free yerself :wink: :mrgreen:

if the bpm of the sample has to be altered bigtime i do it outside the mpc to keep quality..the mpc destroys the samples after a certain amount of change...

but a way faster way to adjust samples bpm and lets me do it on the fly real time is by :

highlighting program
press window
press sample
highlight tune
tweak away

hope this helps..
