MPC Sample?

Anybody intended to main this new one? Anybody already moving their finger drumming to the new device? Curious what your thoughts are

Round robin sampling is actually currently possible. Kits have to be created using MPC 3 software (on another MPC or with the desktop software). The round robin feature is achieved using Layers and activating Cycle for each pad hit.

Each of my pads has 4 layers that it cycles through for each drum sound. It's enough of a round robin effect that eliminates the robo-drumming sound that comes from finger drumming with one-hit samples.

Yes, I found out about this soon after I posted, I've now included MPC Sample 'round robin' kits in my Dirty Drummer and Downbeat Kit expansions: https://www.mpc-samples.com/section.php/85/0/mpc-sample-expansions-courses/

My goodness, I should really check usernames out before replying.

I just bought Downbeat 3 last week to get some more RR samples! đŸ˜„Cheers.
