Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

YO!
Dont know if this is common knowledge, but i couldn't find it anywere so i thought i hit you off with a little trick!

I found a very easy way to "sort of" chopping your samples up without chopping.....
Here's what i do:
Take a sample eg a piano loop or whatever and assign it to a pad.
Activate 16-levels for velocity.
Now, go to the envelope, velocity, tuning... etc mode (press the program button then #2) Select Poly:mono
Set the vel mod volume to 0 .
Now start tweeking the vel mod soft start while hitting the pads and VOILA!!
It might not replace chopping for real but its quick and intuitive!!!

I'm not to good at explaining but holla if you want me to ellaborate something....

Thats why I love my 2KXL. :lol:
~Juke winks his eye at his MPC and fondles it~

But I'd still kill for a 3K OR 60!!!!

Yeah I'm not big on Google ads.

Good find. That's one I don;t tell people about. I have a few more too ;)

Well, I'm a kind spirited soul... I share my finds..
It's like with equipment, it's how you use it and what u do with it that matters!

It's all good though!

please pardon my obtuse comprehension to your methods.....unfortunately this makes no sense to me, as you'd be sacrificing valuable sample time if you didn't physically remove the unwanted portions of a sample (ie truncation). I might be confusing things a bit....again, I apologize.

i dont understand this technique at all... could someone elaborate?

By Avastyle Thu Oct 06, 2005 7:54 pm
No need to apologize!!
The thing is that you don't need to chop the sample into little pieces, you just use the whole loop, wich takes up just the same amount of memory!

Just try it and you'll understand!
(if you don't, holla!)
Good luck!

Word, you're not copying the same sample to different pads. It's the same sample but it's manipulated using different parameters.

Basically it's like having virtual copies of the sample.

Can you save the kit or sequence to do that everytime you load up or you got to keep doing that everytime you play that kit or sequence. Just wondering.

By Avastyle Thu Oct 06, 2005 10:30 pm
Yo, deepdown....
The answer is (if i understand yr q right): Yes!
if you rec a seq with using this method the settings are saved into each step of the seq...
cause it's just a matter of velocity controling the soft start....

if i'm not making sense it's caus of the amounts of cheap red wine i've been drinking...(it's 0029 here in sweden...)
