Forum to discuss all matters relating to the MPC1000 and MPC2500 operating systems created by 'JJ' (all versions).

I know that space for new code in the JJ os is pretty much nonexistent, but I have an idea that might not take much space.

I find resampling on the mpc (which I do a lot to free up FX) is a little cumbersome because after recording the main outs you have to trim manually. But what if the length of the recording could be set equal to the length of the sample/sequence you're trying to resample? You can set a duration to record anyway (in milliseconds), all that would need to be added is a reference to the length of a sample or sequence. Would that take up much code in the OS? I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

To sum up : it would be nice to set the duration of the record function equal to the length of a existing sequence or sample.

But I could be all wrong, so feel free to criticize me. Maybe someone with more connections then me could take this up with JJ?

time display in the upper right hand corner of the main screen. from the main screen push > to the end of your seq and note the time.

this would be a fine work around if they was to add milliseconds to the record time - its not realy that helpfull at the minute only being able to choose seconds and minutes

Those are all good workarounds, but they are just that : workarounds. A simple function would be to include milliseconds or samples as units to set the record time.
A even more elegant solution would be to read the needed record length from the length of a sample or sequence.

Not workarounds, but ways this sh@t works Turn loop off or use audiotrack
Why do you people usually want a feature thats already in there.
By Dunewar Fri Aug 31, 2007 1:16 pm
Could you explain how to use audiotrack for this? I'm not familiar with that.
Like I said above : i'd gladly hear any solutions that i'm missing right now.
As for loop off : the recording still doesn't stop when everything goes quiet.

resampling unfortunately results in lower quality audio in my experience
which is why i only use it when resampling LFO tweaks on basic waveforms.

this won´t work..the startpoint is not tight...you have to trim manually..

By Dunewar Fri Aug 31, 2007 1:33 pm
Oh that's why there's allways a space before the actual sample start when recording the main's??

Using the audiotracks for this is working great for me with the latest os. No trimming needed.

Could you explain how to use the autotrack for this? I have never used that.
thanx a lot

I'd like to know too

Well I was wrong, the loops are not perfect. They are close but there is still a very small amount of gap in the beginning of the sample. At 133.3 there was about 130 samples of white space. It's just enough to cause some phasing. Too bad, this would have greatly enhanced my work flow. It would be great if we had an option to move the sampling start time a bit forward or a bit back on resample in the options menu. That way at any particular bpm you could dial it right in by the start time. Kinda like latency compensation in a daw.

But to resample in an audio track just go to the options by hitting window on the track number (57 or above) and set the input to main outs. Make sure to turn your click off or it will record that too.

When I record the main outs there's also a lag in front of the sample, but the sample start has been delayed as well. The first thing I allways do is discard that first bit. that's not so annoying, but the inability to set a duration time accurately enough is very annoying.
