mpc bpm sync?

whats up guys.i just recently purchased a mpc 1000 and i need some help on it.hope its not too much trouble.i use to own a mv 8000 but i had to get rid of it because it just didnt work out for me,too much of a learning curve!lol.i wanted to know if there was a feature on the mpc that could help me align the tempo of my sample so that it can go perfectly ith my beat? i just wanted to know because i use to have a similar feature on the mv.my second question is how can i move samples around my pads so that i have them where i want them.thanks and sorry for the newbie questions.

yeah either tap tempo tune or time stretch. You need the JJ OS to time stretch.

Let say you got a beat on seq 1 and a mell that dosn't fit .Go to a new seq and rec the mell that did'nt fit . It won't be the same bpm.
while still in the new seq Hit pad 6 (Trim) then f6 (edit) scroll to the right to timestretch . Change new tempo to the original seq tempo and press do it.

If it gets to be a big gap in bpm it gets to be destrutive of sound quality. Sometimes it sounds cool tho.

to have your samples where you want them go to program , move cusrur to sample and scroll right or left. easy

Actually, no. That was added in Akai V2.

screw Akai!


JJ for prez

thanks skin!

another cool thing with the timestretch is, lets say you have a sample playin in a beat that's 80 bpm. take that sample go to trim pad 6, then edit . Scroll to the timestretch is and put in the new bpm double or half. for instense take it from 80 to 40 , keep as a new sample, then go to program and set the tune plus 12 of it original setting. lets say you had it at 3.53 , you woul want to make it 15.53. (on a new pad of course cause you don't want to mess with the old sample.)

Just a little trick to make things more full soundin. give it a try
