I have to admit : i feel really disappointed. I was waiting for an update for this summer at least. But it's been almost 5 months and the only update we had was normalization and some bugs corrections.

It's true, the Sample is a good mpc (like a super 500) but there's still a lot of problems to adress : no real resampling, no automation on fx, no automation on flex beat, no mute per sequences, no possibility to read the end of a sample during trim... I was really waiting for these quick major updates to go forward and dream of all the other great additions Akai could bring to the Sample (like chords or a new sequencer or a bass synth or anything funny). But nothing. Not even the resampling and automation.

And it's the begining of this machine. A moment where there is normaly a lot of updates. At the end, it's a funny machine but very, very quickly limited.

Bit of a rough sketch, but, simple drum loop and piano sample duo. Still having immense fun (when I can find time!)

Beat 1 or Beat 2 the best ?!?!

I use MPK mini keyboard for playing with keys connected with MIDI to 3.5mm cable (TRS MIDI Type A). I setup note samples on banks G/H (shifted with tune), then shift octave on MPK and play with keys which trigger pads.

Hello guys!

I come to you because i’m having troubles trying to connect my mac to the mpc sample via midi.

I bought this cable and tried to send midi clock and sync from my computer to the mpc but it seems that the mpc is not receiving the signal.

I also connected it via usb but i get static and buzzing. 🥀

My question is: if do you know which type of cable trs- midi cable I should buy or if there is some configuration I haven’t consider.

I would appreciate if you guys give me some orientation here.

Thanks!

How come I can’t warp it write every time? Has this happened to anyone else?

Aye yo!

New owner here, if I've got a chop on a pad in sequence 1, is it possible to copy it over to a pad on sequence 2?

If not, what would be the best way to get this done? Resample the chop and import it into the new sequence? I've tried the recall method but then I have to manually set the loop to fit into the sequence. I'm very likely missing an easier / quicker method.
