Ok people, I'm going to post a tip that maybe alot of you already know how to do. If so, please forgive me & move on to a more interesting post.
For the rest of y'all that ARE interested here's one i've used before (In about 1998...). It's fantastic...
This is a long post but its well worth it if oyu've ever wondered just how to do it.
Examples of use...
1) J-Live on 'Them that's not'
2) De La Soul on 'Rock Kocane Flow'
Ok...pls forgive the way in which it'll be written as i've done it in the simplest way. I felt if i lead you in a step by step, program by numbers fashion, you'd get a real sense of how to do it!!!
For the purpose of the Example i made, i used a Track tempo of 120BPM, A 16 Bar Loop or Sequence, oh...& i'm using an MPC 60 (MK I of course...but there's no prejudice here...merely BIAS) on OS 3.10.
As you'll know...the screens'll look exactly like a 3000.
OK, LETS GO:
1)Load a fresh sequence or load up a sequence of one of your beats..(use one that's at least 16 bars for the purpose of this example)
2) Hit (or rather, 'Press') the 'TEMPO/SYNC' button (The buttn for letter 'f')
3) Press the <TempoChanges> Softkey2 button. this will take you into a page labelled "Mid Sequence Tempo changes".
There are various fields on this page...4 of them are Editable.
3a) Make sure the '1st' Field 'Tempo changes' is set to :ON
Before you go any further, mentally note that the very FIRST Tempo Change will actually NOT be a change at all...because this is the ORIGINAL or TRUE tempo of your Track.
4) Go to the 'Location For Inserted Change' Field...
Set this to 005.01.00 (Leave %Change as 100% for the 1st Change)
Press <Insert New> Softkey 1. This will cause the 'Change No.' field to change to '2' where the FIRST Change (No.1) was the ORIGINAL/TRUE Tempo.
5) Skip down 2 places to the '%Change' Field & Set this percentage to 83.33% (Or whatever value 'YOU' want it to be to match the TEMPO to its right side).
83.33% of 120BPM is 100BPM
6) Go to the 'Location For Inserted Change' Field...
Set this to 007.01.00
7) Press <Insert New> Softkey 1.
8 ) Skip down 2 places to the '%Change' Field & Set this percentage to
75% (Or whatever value 'YOU' want it to be to match the TEMPO to its right side).
75.00% of 120BPM is 90BPM
(Y'all still with me? Good) Nearly there.
9) Go to the 'Location For Inserted Change' Field...
Set this to 009.01.00
10) Skip down 2 places to the '%Change' Field & Set this percentage to
58.30% (Or whatever value 'YOU' want it to be to match the TEMPO to its right side).
58.30% of 120 BPM = 70BPM
11) Press <Insert New> Softkey 1. This will cause the 'Change No.' field to change to '4'
12) Go to the 'Location For Inserted Change' Field...
Set this to 011.01.00
13) Skip down 2 places to the '%Change' Field & Set this percentage to
54.20% Now says 65BPM
14) Press <Insert New> Softkey 1. This will cause the 'Change No.' field to change to '5'
15) Go to the 'Location For Inserted Change' Field...
Set this to 013.01.00
16) Skip down 2 places to the '%Change' Field & Set this percentage to
50.00% Now says 60BPM
17) Press <Insert New> Softkey 1. This will cause the 'Change No.' field to change to '6'
(Note: This will play out 50BPM from Bar 13 to the end of the 16th bar).
You can check the accuracy of your changes by using the <Previous> & <Next> function keys...<Softkey1> & <Softkey2>.(Or just use your ears by Playing the sequence.
There...Y'all did it....
The example above is purely for explanatory purposes....mess around with it & see what you come up with.
Hope it helps
Happy Programming!
