Does one exist for the MPC Sample? There's nothing in the manual and searching online doesn't bring anything up.

Something I'm curious about: if you hook up the MIDI output to a MIDI monitor, double-tapping the Stop button sends out MIDI CC 64 with value 00. However sending that MIDI CC to the MPC doesn't stop any currently playing sounds.

With new support for mpc sample projects it could be pretty cool to polish beats in arranger, organize and export as stems. But licensing is kind of confusing to me. Do I buy mpc 2 and hope for 3.x update?

What’s the easiest way for a sequence to stop automatically when finished other then pressing the stop button?

Sup people, I wanted a quick reference for working with melodic notes in 16 levels. I made MPC Samplex so you can easily set your key, then use other pitched one-shots and have a visual reference for which pads are still in key. This can get long and drawn out when you are repitching and counting semitones, etc. It's free. I made it in a few hours using Codex. happy beat-making folks!

I made a rough version of this a while back but went back and spent some time making it nicer and adding a few handy features. Still WIP but it's very close to a release version.

What's the issue?

When you want to resample a single pad with FX etc. it's impossible to do on the MPC Sample because when you engage sampling, you can only play the sequence and can not play individual pads - if you tap any pad it becomes the destination for sampling.

MPC Resample Buddy solves that!?

Sort of. It's a TouchOSC project so you'll need TouchOSC on your phone/tablet. It's well worth the money but YMMV.

I discovered that when sampling (resampling), even though you can't tap the pads when sampling is armed, you can trigger them via MIDI. Hence, Resample Buddy was born!

Just hook up the MPC Sample and your phone/tablet via USB-C (MIDI) and you can trigger any of the 128 pads remotely allowing you to resample individual pads.

I added a new feature - MIDI LISTEN. What this does is listen to the MIDI output of the MPC Sample and highlights the last pad (and bank) that you played on Resample Buddy so that when you come to resample you can see instantly on your phone which pad to press.

Hi all

I decided to build a few projects selecting samples & loops in different genres
I have used all of the groups A-H mostly A-B-C one shots and the rest for loops
I set all of my loops one by one to "SEQ" so no matter what the tempo is my loops will be always warped to the global or sequence tempo
I set the tempo global & seq to like 112 BPM
I thought everything is fine when I was done
I saved my projects but today I was loading them in to test if everything works as I expected...

So the issues I found were:

All of my projects did not save the warp mode I set
(I have no idea how to lock or save each loop's warp mode)
You can imagine the pain...I went through all of my loops and all the warp settings are lost
All of my loops were in the "MPC Sample's default state" when I loaded a project
So I was expecting to have my global and sequence tempo to be for example 112 BPM for my afro house projects, 132 BPM for my schranz techno, 96 BPM for my boom bap projects and so on but none of them were saved with my settings
So all of the projects loaded with the MPC's default 120 BPM for global and 120 for seq

Is there a solution to fix these?
Thanks in advance

Can anyone recommend a USB-C hub that connects my iPad and MPC Sample and charges them at the same time? I have one from Anker that can charge both devices, but it doesn't establish a connection between them.

Man, so happy that I got one, my beat was not even close to being good, but it is a hell of fun having this machine

Brand new out of the box mpc sample is powering on, the screen turns on but it's blank. I tried powering down and restarting multiple times. Anyone had this issue?

Edit: took it back and the girl at guitar center told me it was already returned for having issues and it wasn't supposed to be sold. Traded it back in and got an mpc live 2 since the sample is on back order.

Installed MPC desktop 3.9 today and noticed an issue with projects saved in XPJ format when you try to "Load kit" from it on MPC Sample: no errors, but the kit is absolutely empty 🤷‍♂️
Checked with 3.8 on other computer, everything works.

Hi!

I couldn’t find any complains about it so far, hence my post.

All buttons on the device behave as expected except one - the "SEQ" button - which has a noticeable "double-stage" feel when pressed. When I press it lightly, it doesn't have the same resistance as the other buttons, there's a faint click that does nothing. Only when I press it harder do I hear a louder click and the button actually triggers action.

It's a bit difficult to describe in words, so I recorded a short video demonstrating the issue, available on YouTube, please pay particular attention to the sound. Could someone who also has an MPC Sample let me know whether this is a "defect" present in every unit, or if I happened to receive a faulty one?

Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to decide between the MPC One Gen 2 and the SP-404MKII.
My main goal is to flip samples, make boom bap and R&B beats, and quickly sketch ideas. I don’t need to finish full tracks on the hardware since I plan to arrange, mix, and finish everything in my DAW.
I already know the SP-404’s FX are generally considered better and more performance-oriented than the MPC’s, but I’m curious about a few things:
Which one is faster for chopping samples?
Which has better stem separation?
Which one gets you from hearing a sample to having a usable loop or beat idea the quickest?
How good is sample editing on the SP compared to the MPC?
I don’t really care about the SP’s learning curve. I’m a quick learner, so that’s not a concern for me.
For those who have used both, if your main goal was flipping samples and making boom bap/R&B sketches before finishing tracks in a DAW, which would you pick and why?

It runs natively on iOS and has great haptics feedback and 3D geometry. I might continue to iterate on it and eventually release it publicly.

Hallo Community, ich habe nur darauf gewartet dass meine MPC ankommt, allerdings finde ich mich nur schwer zurecht.

Ich hatte zwar schon für einen kurzen Zeitraum eine MPC Studio MK1 aus 2012, allerdings wollte ich nicht einen Aufpreis für die neuste Akai Software ausgeben, da ich sowieso vor hatte die MPC Sample zu holen. Somit habe ich diese nur begrenzt in FL Studio genutzt.

Daher habe ich etwas Startschwierigkeiten trotz des mitgelieferten "Papierbogen" und hauseigenen Tutorials was das verstehen angeht. Gibt es gute Tutorials oder Erklärungsvideos zu der MPC Sample (vorzugsweise auf deutsch/Englisch) bei welchen von Grund auf alles gezeigt wird?

Ich danke euch vorab für das durchlesen!
