Forgive me if my termanology is wrong...

Okay I have this pattern that i want to lay down and loop but when when i try and record it i dont have enough space to lay down the whole pattern... How can i fix this???

Thanks for anyone who takes their time to help.

yeah but i dont want the beat that slow man... I guess I could always turn off the "Timing Correct" and go free with the drums.

Okay... I will check the manual on how to add bars. I think this sounds like a better idea.
Thanks

Then slow the bpms down, lay your pattern, and then return the bpms to "normal" speed.

The only limits are your imagination.

Wow.


For a loop, slowing down the bpm will not slow down the loop sample at all. It only extends the time length of the sequence.

If you don't want to slow down the bpm then add more bars to give you sequence more time to ride out.

Sounds like you are trying things out that you don't exactly have your head wrapped around the physics just yet.

Duh... Thats why Im here asking... I have only had my MPC500 for 1 week and all this termanology and stuff is new to me. And yes I have read my manuel but no where in there does it say that its gonna slow down my sample if I lower the BPM...

Im still in the learning process. Total noob to this shizz.
