Previewing Samples - Loops not in sync

Hi,
when previewing samples with the option sync on the files are not played in sync with the mpc. Any idea why this is?
Also I asked this before but noone could tell me. Is there a way to have my sequence running and cycling and record a track with mididata that is not cycling so that Ican have a 8 bar pattern playing on and on and on and just jam to it and later get the best bit of the recorded mididata (e.g. record 1 minute or so and later set start and end points to fit into the length of the sequence?

There is probably a better way(tm), but I'll just set a sequence to 64 or 128 bars and then jam out... copy/paste out the parts you like and then set the length to what works out for what you liked.

thanks for the answer, i suppose that is the only possible way at the moment

I wanted to ask this, and it's been mentioned here so...



How do I copy and past, on the grid?

And while I'm at it, is there a way to nudge otes quicker? If I'm on 64 bars and want the hit to be on bar 64, I have to turn that damn jog wheel for an age.

Nudge quicker?
Timing correct to 1/4, use jog wheel, it will move faster.
Use LOCATE and the associated buttons to move cursor to bars/events.

Copy/Paste on the grid?
Hold SHIFT while in grid view, notice the bottom of screen change, see COPY / PASTE?
Use the SELECT icon to highlight what you want to COPY. Move the cursor to the spot
you want to paste and paste it.


These things are in the manual.

Ah thanks so much for that!

I really do try with the manual, and in normal circumstances I'd have a printed copy to refer to, however I have terrible dyslexia and reading the pdf on a screen is nigh on impossible - thank you for bearing with me on this one!
