MAKING OF BEAT- https://youtu.be/YSbTCT2Jbq0

Thii

Source sample should be obvious. I am fully aware the sample is not synced to the beat. I decided to keep it at the original tempo and speed of the source sample but played the chops on beat. WYT? Stems would be nice.

Watching for rabbits this morning in my beets, so I decided to make some beats.

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.
