Here's an mpc 2000(XL) tip on how to get a BPM read out

How to get a bpm readout of a sample/loop"


First cut your loop start and end so it is perfect.

Then go to loop..

On the old 2000 hit fit.

On the new 2000xl hit edit and loop from start to end.



edit your end points till it is looping perfect.

Now in your trim screen hit params


This is were you tell it how long the sample is.

4beats a bar so if it was 2 bars set 8 beats.

It will now give you the bpm,tempo of the loop.

You can also adjust the pitch from this screen hi or lower and it will give you the new tempo..

thanks for the info can you tell me how to get my drums to hit late to get that off beat timing

hey good tip i use this on like all my beats to get the BPM.

About the late hits...chop early or you can go to time correct..open window, and set the feild to late and then experiment with how much you want.

I think dude was just joking about the late drum hits. LOL

im a woman dude what im talkng about like the neo soul type beats sometimes the hi hat is off or the snare

well "Woman Dude" turn off quantise when you play your drums. Or you can quantise them in and shift later or earlier notes you want moved.

main screen> highlight the timing signature (1/16)> open window> after you do that you will see the note values and u can change the swing, the the amount percentage and if u want it earlier or on a later timing.. of course you have to do it with quantasize on.. don't turn your quant off when making beats, i'd really only turn my quant off when playing notes.. percussion i like it to be on perfect timing.. hope i helped you out.

what are you shocked about?

Just my personall preference but some drum and percussion sounds sound better when quantise is off. Like highhats shakers bongos things that bounce
