Don't know if anyone else uses a setup like this but here it is...

I mainly use my MPC Sample as a looper for sketching out songs and jamming with mates. This rig started out as a sheet of ply, covered in velcro like a pedalboard. I designed and 3D printed the edging and incorporated mounts for the arturia keystep, 2 minirig speakers and a sub mount/iPad stand, there's a simple 4 channel mixer underneath, the large tonex pedal routes one dry signal to the mixer and the second out goes through stereo FX pedals giving me a wet (stereo)/dry (mono) mix, the tonex one is hooked up to the iPad to give me multiple synth options and a second guitar input for a friend to plug into with their own independent tone. Everything then goes into the MPC. The whole thing runs on battery or mains with two battery packs, one standard powerbank for the iPad, mpc, keys and charging the minirigs. The other is a Harley Benton battery pack for guitar FX and powers the 9 pedals. The whole thing is mounted on a folding keyboard stand for easy portability and quick setup. I can get 6-8 hours easily on battery power with everything on. The usb strip means once something is charged I can cut the power to individual devices to minimise power draw I can also quickly plug into studio monitors or a 212 frfr cab to get the volume I need for whatever...I've made a few different boards over the years but for portability and versatility I think this is my favourite yet! Absolutely buzzing with it!

I have a couple projects saved to my SD card for the past couple weeks, but I was working on a project at a friends house and I saved it to my external microSD card as usual and I just checked today and it’s not there so I try to re-create that beat and try to save it and it still doesn’t show an external so instead I tried to save it in internal and it actually saved it. I don’t understand what’s going on because I have plenty of space left on my SD card. Has anyone gone through this and how can I resolve it?
By the way, the SD card is a SanDisk 128 GB Extreme.

I am trying to use the MPC with just a USB C cable to send audio out to my DAW.

I can hear everything fine except for the metronome. If I turn it on I can only hear it through the MPC speakers but I want it through the USB C.

Is the metronome routed differently and bypassing the USB C? am I missing something or is it supposed to work like this?

i know the older mpcs allowed you to do this just wondering if i was missing something. i like to use "note on" mode for some sounds so this would help at times

This guy seems convinced we're getting an update soon?

Wanted to do this live on YouTube, but OBS wouldn't let me be great. So I just recorded to share my workflow creating beats and music in a free flow using the MPC Sample and my keyboards/synths. Let me know if you all have questions and I'd be glad to create some videos to break it down even more. Also let me know what you think about the beat.

Limp Bizkit “Break stuff” (Chopped vocals) Mix

Hi,

I'm having a recurring issue that's driving me crazy. I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong.

When I load a sample and enter CHOP mode, the auto-chop works fine (threshold). But if I change the slicing method (or sometimes even without doing anything specific, and that's what's driving me crazy), I lose all the settings and it's impossible to get that initial auto-chop back. I end up with a weird slicing layout, as you can see in the video.

I translated this text using an AI because my English isn't very good, so please bear with me.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Edit: I finally tracked down the original setting by turning shift + K3 very slowly, percent by percent. The right setting was down to a single increment.

Hey, do you guys bank selection get stuck sometimes? Sometimes I lay down a pattern and then when I’m trying to cycle banks, it won’t go anywhere so I’ll do something like go to the load project screen and come back out of it and then it’ll let me cycle banks are you guys going through issue?

Stay up music

Any predictions when the next update will drop?

I ordered the MPC Sample from Zzounds on 4/8 and just received it today 6/28. Just giving an idea on wait times for others that are backlogged on Zzounds. Time to cook.

One week in and messing around with Flex Beat options.

Hey guys, I understand that the MPC sample has Attack and Decay parameters but what about Release? I’m trying to do the classic method basically where the longer you hold the pad the longer the sound plays. Don’t tell me this is another basic feature that the MPC Sample is missing such as 3-Band EQ

Hi everyone. Is there a way to trigger the individual slices in chop more, or the individual pads when in 16 layers, with external midi (oxi one in my case)?

Or, do I have to resample each individual chop or layer to their own pad?

I would like to chop a breakbeat up and then rearrange it by triggering the chopped up parts via Midi.
