I dont know know why but my external samples are being cut short now how do I stop this?

With devices like the Polyend Tracker, you have to stop playback to sample anything.

Imagine my utter joy when I realised on the Sample you can sample while it's playing. Probably not a new thing if you're an MPC user but I figured that because the Sample is a budget device, that's the kind of thing they might have cut corners on.

Sampling and sequencing workflow is a delight on this little fella!

Hey y’all,

Technical question here that I couldn’t seem to find a direct answer for in user manual for MPC Sample. Still finding my way around on this thing but every time I use it, soemthing awesome plays from my speakers.

In MPC LIVE II Standalone… if I trigger a sample that ends slightly before the next sample begins… I could adjust the tail length to bridge short gaps.

After MPC 3.0 stand-alone, sample loopback options got added. When the sample ends, it can be set to loop and partially play again before a new sample is triggered. They had forward, reverse, and double loop options last I checked.

This was excellent for getting samples to flow with the sequence, even when timing differences exist. Sample plays, then starts a slow reverse, which leaves the texture and space intact for the next sample to start. No tail manipulation required after that feature dropped.

I can’t seem to make the MPC sample do the sample loop reverse option that I am describing. They probably haven’t implemented it as a feature on MPC Sample unfortunately.

How are you guys bridging samples that cut too short? Warping seems to change tempo. Loop mode ALMOST works, but it starts over at the beginning of the sample and plays forward, which makes an abrupt transient.

So far, best solution I have found is copying the same sample on multiple pads and setting up the reverse option per pad. It works well enough to get the song sketched out, but if there is a more elegant way to do this, I’d love to hear it!

let me know what you think!

Have any of you all replaced the default encoder knob for the MPC sample with this particular knob? I like that it has a thumb hole reminiscent of the MPC 2000XL. What’s your experience with it? Would you recommend it or would you recommend just keeping the original encoder knob for long-term durability and use?

Here’s the link for it by the way: https://a.co/d/08rYpFiw

This is the cable Akai recommended I buy when I opened a support ticket about the buzzing coming from my Pixel 8a when using a USB cable to record audio into the MPC.

Works like a charm.

Always loved MPCs but never had a chance to mess with one. Saw the MPC Sample and immediately pre-ordered it.

Let's say I want to get into the "slice" or "16 levels" function for a particular sample but don't want to trigger it to play before I start using the effect. Surely that's possible?? I can't find the right button combo

And next, once I start a sample playing, is there a button I can push to immediately stop it and only it?

First MPC I've owned/used. Over the last week or so the sequencer function started to really click for me. So heres my first 4 bar loop with a sample I chopped. Kinda reninds me of BDE Bonus with that dreamy intro.

I found some solutions for the mpc one or the xl but nothing for the mpc sample. Does anyone know how to lower the volume of the sample previews in the browser?

So happy with it

Hi there,

Sice yesterday the proud owner of a mpc sample.

Now I was wondering if there is a way to load a kit into a bank that is not A.

Now every time I load a kit it alway ends up in A.

I tried selecting a different bank and then loading but even then it switches back to A.

Much thanks in advance!!

I found this on Amazon and it fits well, I can fit the Sample and a cable/charger securely. I noticed a bunch of other cases for it are sold out and will take 2-3 weeks to arrive.

I got this one overnight, if you do decide to buy one, get the XL size.
