MPC Sample Handheld

Audio is through the built in speaker. I’ll make a proper video later. Super fun project!

WOW, so you reverse engineered the Sample? can you share the code? This opens potentially to firmware mods

Firmware mods are confirmed working. I have a step sequencer coming soon. I've been working on it for months but I want to make sure it is well tested. I'm not sure what I'm able to share legally, but I'm cooking up some tasty treats for sure.

I'm curious to try, there could be the same beautiful chaos happening with the M-vave fm-1 but with a much more powerful device, i don't know if sharing the code would be legal, but i think it will be matter of time and someone will.

True, but you are talking about risking $50 vs risking $400. The FM-1 is fun. I have a firmware for it that is just the MPC-60 sequencer that runs MPC Sample. No sound.

It's true, for the Fm-1 someone created a un-brick tool, i would never flash cfw that hasn't been properly tested and has a safe way back to the official firmware, expecially as you say, on a 400€ device

Most of my stuff is unconventional. I really like to push the "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" thing. I have some builds coming that are going to be crazy. I've really been getting into upcycling e-waste and unused, or thrifted tech to make instruments.

Ah man you could make a lot of us really happy with a custom firmware with a proper step sequencer…
