NEW MPC 60 MKII OWNER, NEED HELP ABOUT SAMPLES BPM PLEASE...

Hi Folks,

I'm a french old-timer MPC user (I had a 2000 for years and a 4000 too), I recently bought a maxed-out MPC 60 that I handle pretty well now, the only thing i don't understand is how to find out the bpm for a sample

let's say, as an example, i have a 1 bar sample, i loop it using numbers and ears, how can I know what bpm should I work my sequence on to make the beat and the sample match??

I know this is probably real dumb but i couldn't find it on my own

Thanks y'all

There's a tap tempo button just under the data wheel. Press the main screen button then start tapping the tap tempo button and the BPM in the top right will start to change. Its not super accurate in my experience but it will get you close enough for you to adjust manually.....

Whatever happened to just guessing? Stop being lazy.

You have a 1 bar sample you want to loop? Make a one bar sequence and trigger the sample at the very first step and just adjust your bpm until it loops right.
