MPC Live: what's up with warping?!? (+ Other ???'s)

In the software you have to go to "Preferences" , then at the bottom I think in "Others" you have to change the time stretching algorithm from "MPC" to "Elastique Pro". That should do the trick. The only downfall is that it takes more CPU.

I hope (with practice) that this is easier to do than it sounds. 6 steps just to time stretch a sample??? What happened to the "iconic MPC workflow" that is fluid and easy??!! I plan on using the MPC Live at my gigs so an intuitive, easy workflow is definitely essential to me!![/quote]

Haha.. I had an MPC2kxl and have an MPC2500.. this is the same workflow as both of them..
So it IS the iconic MPC workflow..

If you want to slow down time live, the best way is still chopping or slicing the sample, assigning the chops to pads, then re-sequencing..

Then you can slow it down or speed it up and you don't chew CPU, you won't change pitch or lose sound quality...

had the same issue with a sample... i think i`ve forgot to change a setting... when i recorded a live-loop, the warp-algo sounded damn shit )... when i exported a sequence to audio and warped it, it sounds pretty good (not as good as ableton for sure, but works well for me)...

by the way... pitch sounds mostly gets very strange results (even without warp)... to some point it feels like a damn crazy granular effect )... definetly an issue for an update

I bought a standalone sampler where the sampling function does not work properly. The only thing left to do is tap the pads or use it as a controller for $700

??Did you buy a One? What is not working properly? If it isnt working properly you can return it for a refund. If you did not set it up properly its probably a very easy fix. & why are you posting this on a 3yo thread?

LOL!!! Yeah, this is the fifty million dollar question.
