Turntable stop on the MPC 1000

I need advice. I just learned how to do a turntable stop on the MPC. I want to put it in one of my songs. The actual stop is not that long. However could I put it in the sequence, but if I did that would it mess up my loop. Or do I have to make a new sequence and just set the temp very high so that it wont be a pause in my song. Which will work.

Better yet I want to do what Alchemist did on that track of First Infantry called Its a Craze feturing Mob Deep. Its on the Prodigy verse the beat stops after the turn table then picks up again.

Anyhelp.

make a qlink adjust the tuning of the particular pad, then record yourself sliding the q-link down. takes practice, but it can be made to work.

Well, you obviously know how to get the effect you want. And you have some ideas on how to implement it in your song / seq.
What I don´t understand is why you don´t try those ideas and see how they work, instead you ask people on the forums if it´ll work or not.

Make a copy or two of your seq and start experimenting. You have a hypothesis on what might work, try these out!

If they fail, why not add one or a two bars to the seq to make sure you got space. Copy your events / notes to cover the new bar. Then apply the effect at the time of your choice. Insert Tempo changes at the start of the effect and the start of the first tick of the following bar or 1/4, this gives you control on how long it should take from the effect to the restart of the track.
This means you have to do some trying in finding the right place for the effect and some further fiddling in Step Edit to make it run smooth.
To save you the hassle of finding out yourself, someone might be nice enough to post the exact numbers needed.

My point exactly. If you have the gear try it then if all fails ask questions. I have been tryin to drill this in his head forever doesnt seem to work.

I dont see why just use the turntable.


Plus turntable stops are played out in my opinion if you aint a turntablist.

please explain this technique

RRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooohhhh....

imho, co-sign, but you CAN use it creatively enough to warrant a comeback.

ok ive been trying this

i have the sample assigned to q1 altering pitch and on q2 altering the volume

the first thing that needs noting is that a real stop comes to a complete stop. if we just pitch it down with the slider it never comes to a full stop (-120)

ive tried getting the end right with the volume but it just doesnt sound right

good thing i got some decks anyway

What if you did multiple pitch downs, as in record one, then do another on top of it? Or maybe you would have to resample the first one, then apply the next one. I think Nym was talking about something like that a while back. Haven't tried it yet myself.

Exactly!

one reason for not using a turntable would be if the sample was not recorded off a turntable, but was something you played yourself, or sung. all that is irrelevant if you have serato scratch live or similar though.

@tbonus, that may work, but it's better to go into step edit and edit the tuning 'drop' to a steeper slope. of course you only have so much range with the tuning, but it can be made to sound ok.

True.
