How to make a sample stop playing at the next bar

I have sampled a number of bass lines from a synth and they don't synch up to the length of the bar. They continue to keep playing into the next bar. How would I be able to stop the sample once the next bar begins?

which mpc?

which os?

MPC 1000
Default Factory OS

option 1: set the decay of the sample really high until it stops when u want

option 2: set the program that your sample is in to mono, then on beat one of the next bar record a pad that has no sample on it (from the same program).
This way the original sample will stop because it will get cut off by the blank one.

that and also;
option 3: trim the sample

But really.. what tony said.

lol yea that as well

i mainly use option 2 when the last chop/piece of the sample is overlapping into the next sequence that i have but yea trimming also the way to go

ghost notes should be investigated too. plenty of great uses.........

Or change it from 'one shot' into 'note'. Then u can even set the duration of the sample manually in step edit mode if u want to.
