I laced down a little sequence.
The snare has a long reverb, i recorded it right, but when i play it back, after a snare or two, the reverb cuts out like mad.

Why? is it coz ive only got 16MB RAM?? or is the mpc sh!t??

Ive experienced alot of problems like above.
Like when iam adding effect to a sample, i press the button dat plays the effected sample, each time i press that button, i hear a different effet sound.

huh? is that doing an effect during a sequence?

the mpc dosent seem solid man
iam starting to think all the good talk was by those nerds who just love hardware, rather then music production.

a phase effect is an effect that you add to a sample in the sample- trim/region section. I you add it it permanently affixes it self to the sound.

Let me ask you does it cut out at the end of a loop?

no, during.
if it was at the end it would be understandable.

whats poly?

nothing has been done to it
all i did was load the samples, phase the snare, create a lil sequencer and play it back.

i tell u what, how can i convert my beat into a wav? i can upload it so people can hav a listen.
