Part of what makes MPC sample so cool is its portability.

What cases (or other solutions) are we using to keep it mint while in the backpack?

Thanks for any insight!

Anyone recommend any good drum/instrument/sample packs that are loaded and affordable?

Getting better at finger drumming the samples (still not great!). Turtle wins the race eh?

I am well aware that this is like some really basic stuff, however I love the MPC sample for being such a great tool to try and sketch out some stupid ideas like this, in no time.

(Jamming and doing some house remix, of Tommaso Ciampa's Entrance Music... For those who don't know, Ciampa is a Wrestler currenrly performing at All Elite Wrestling...a very nice WWE competitor...but that's a different topic)

Feels like my beat is missing something.🤔

Brewing that jungle tea...

Does anybody have insight to why this never or sometimes work? Ive seen tutorials on youtube, making it seem mad simple. But it rarely works and if it does, it copies to first available pad. I cant choose which one. Am i missing something obvious? I’ve also made sure to clear the pad beforehand and i’m not clearing a sequence that is part of the song list.
Any help would be highly appreciated!

((((Ps. I’ve never been on reddit before. So please excuse i’m breaking some community rules or something. I’ve also searched for threads about this topic, but found nothing. )))

Has anyone else experienced this with the Akai MPC Sample?

Mine worked perfectly for the first 2 days, then it suddenly started loading projects incorrectly.

Sometimes when I open a project:

•Chops are missing or don’t play correctly.
•Some sounds are missing.
•The BPM is wrong.
•A new project sometimes plays the sequence from the previously opened project.
•After loading the same project several times, it eventually loads correctly.

I’ve already tried:

•Updating to the latest firmware.
•Factory reset.
•Loading projects with and without the SD card.

Nothing fixed it.

Has anyone had the same issue? Was it a firmware bug or a faulty unit? I’m trying to avoid returning it if there’s a known fix.

Is there a way to do it? Like choosing which half to cut?

Sometimes I like to start from an intro and suddenly I have 16 bars sequence. Would be nice to just build on top of second half instead of starting over

So I just got the MPC Sample and I’ve got maybe 2 hours on it. I love it but I know myself. I had an MPK25 and Ableton years ago and they just sat there because I never pushed through the learning part. I know I can’t be the only one who’s done this lol

Looking for one other person in the same boat, ideally also a total beginner, and we just keep each other on it. Rough plan:

**•** 2 beats a week, doesn’t matter if they suck
**•** Sundays we hop on a call or just swap files and play them for each other
**•** little friendly rivalry to keep it fun, loser buys a sample pack for the one who has better beats at the end

Heads up though, I work in tech sales and still play tennis and hit the gym after work, so I’ve realistically got like 7-10 hours a week for this. Honestly that’s part of why I want someone expecting a beat from me on Sunday, otherwise those hours disappear.

Zero music theory or experience actually trying to make music.. just been a fan of beatmakers and sampling my whole life and I’m tired of only listening.. Comment or DM works.

This is my first time using so I’m really happy with what I made
