Is it possible to create a stereo slice 'hack' using the JJ OS by creating one program that's mono L and another separate program that's mono R and then playing the same sequence on both programs? I'm having major problems with getting the right sounds from some of my samples when I use the normal Akai 2.0 slice function to create programs out of a stereo sample (which results in a mono program). Thanks!

the jj os slices in stereo by default.

however, this is a really good idea. an option to slice a sample into 2 individual channel's worth of sample. then put them both on the same program and SIMULT them together, panned hard opposite. very nice indivudal control over both stereo fields.

beware of phasing...you have to had a delay between the left and right channels...

I don't know if this will help, but back in the day when all I had was a mono sampler, I figured out a way to sample in stereo. Just set up whatever it is you are going to sample, a cd or record, and sample from just right side and the left seperately. What you do is use the auto trigger and make sure that you set the cd or whatever it is at very similer starting points so that it triggers the sampling to start at the same loop or sound. Then you can trigger these samples at the same time panned hard right and left. As long as you sample from the right and left there should be no phasing issues. It actually worked very well, and I've been waiting for years to help someone out with this, so I hope it helps. I thought I discovered the cure for cancer! It turned my mono S-550 into a stereo sampler...

?
Dont know if i got you right... but the simult feature is sample accurate, same as the layers.

if you pan hard to left and right it won't phase, even when it's a mono-sample split into two channels. you only get phasing sounds if you play the same samples through one channel, so they get mixed. but if you pan them hard, they playback without getting in touch with each other through the outputs.

really...?
i don't agree about that...just make a try.
actually i work a lot in my daw and replicate frequently this technic...
and i would add that even if you delay the 2 tracks you can have phasing problems (you've got to test from 10 ms to 60 ms...) :wink:

Not quite true, the phasing still occurs, but in the air, between the speakers and your ears.

Or in your brain if u use headphones :wink:

let's just say that if you did this in a DAW, which is sample accurate, you could do it without phasing.

but in an mpc, i don't think that same thing would work. but that's to be expected, i don't know a single instrument which is sample accurate.

uhmmm this is not true at all.
