Ive been using jjos1 for awhile now,could somebody explain nds chopping to me before i spend 74$ on something i might not use.

No need to spend. Download and try it out. Only saving is a disabled feature.

os2xl has many, many awesome features that go well beyond NDC. to be honest, i'm not entirely sure why that feature in particular is so popular. it removes all looping functionality from a sample.

Sorry. I just came in to see what NDS chopping was all about lol.

Thanx for the info.....removes looping ability of a sample,i guess i see where that might be useful but if thats it ill stick to muting out

I do not think that is what he was stating the NDC Feature is,more of what is a limit.I
agree download try and give it a free test run.It is quite a popular feature in OS2XL.

Yeah, I never use it because of those chops can't be looped.
I chop a whole lot of breaks, and first I thought it'd be the bomb but you want to loop your chops.

I use NDC differently in my workflow, but here's an example of how one user uses it.

^^ That was a scary reminder of the 2500 jog wheel and the terrible tuning quality in JJOS. :shock:

NDC is also really useful just for keeping things neat, if you have a few sounds that logically go together.
Like, for example, an octave recorded from an external synth to play on the pads, you just have one sample, 8 chops, rather than overcluttering with however many notes you recorded. There's no looping, so if the synth sound actually was something where looping got a good sounding sustained note, you'd still just need to record longer notes and use note on mode.

Or, another example, if you have multilayer drum sounds, i.e. for realistic velocity response, you can put all of the hits for one drum in one sample, and just have the velocity select different chops.

So, in my workflow (I don't sample like many other people here), the main use for NDC is organization.

How is the JJOS tuning quality different than the 4000? :hmmm:

It'd be easier to demonstrate it rather than disparage one and big up the other.

I'll come up with a test that can be repeated on other MPCs and post it in the comparison forum.

fify. agreeeeed. i avoid doing any tuning beyond 4 or so semitones in the mpc unless i really don't care about the sonic characteristic of what i'm working with - for example, a qlink tapestop fct. don't get me wrong, it's not like it's unusable, but i usually do a pre-tune in reaper before sampling into the mpc.
