Minimum sample length?

Does anyone know if there is a minimum sample length for the 1k. I am trying to use a couple of sound waves i prepare it loads them fine but then when I go to MODE -> TRIM or MODE -> Programm I cant finde them. WTF??

you probably sample them right but you have to assign them in a program. it could be a new pgm made on the 1k. you go to mode - program PAD7. find the sample then put it in the pgm then you can go to mode- trim. you should now see it.

do you press KEEP?

ya its really strange I mean I do the same as with all my other shit the only difference here is the sample is super short as I intend to use it as a loop to generate some sound.... ??

hmm. weird.

i once started up my mpc fresh, and recorded about 16-20 different samples from my turntable, i left them named all automaticcally, e.g. sample01, sample02.

Anyhoo.

after about an hour, basically once i'd finished sampling them all in, i went to trim mode, and noticed that sample04, was named " ", i.e. nothing at all. very weird. i then went to the program editor, and scrolled through the sample that was assigned to my first pad, i scrolled through the list: sample01, sample02, sample03, blank (as in nothing there), sample01. i.e. it kept on flipping though the 4 samples when i had recorded 20 or so into RAM. only problem i've ever had with it. turned it off, turned it on, and it was as good as gold.

there is no sample minimum size cause i also use pure sound waves
