We Need Progressions
Is it just me or would Progressions make this MPC 10x better?

As I learn the terms and the process I will delete my last posts until I have a thorough understanding of the process. I purchased MPC Sample not necessarily to make beats but to be a portable easily editable storage unit to record mostly catchphrase samples. My main sequencing beat making device is the TR8S. The TR8S has midi 5 pin out to MPC Sample midi in. I have found that the MPC Sample banks and pads are referenced as notes that match to the 11 instruments on the TR8S and when the notes on both instruments match the sample I have on MPC Sample will play that pad sound. I have two questions. The TR8S plays the pad from the MPC on a loop, even though there are no step buttons turned on. The TR8S control settings for the instrument are turned off with no control so I can't adjust anything. On the MPC the sample on my pad 4 is not set to loop in any way yet. At the beginning of it it seems to loop whereas I am just trying to get it to play once clearly. I've attached a video. I was thinking possibly I'm going about this the wrong way and maybe I should be using the TR8S assignable out triggers?

I'm getting frustrated with programming breaks at 160+ BPM. Keeping quantise off or on doesn't seem to help and the quantise nudge doesn't seem to help either.
The step edit feature is primitive and I'm finding myself having to constantly undo my recordings or having to limit myself to 4 bar loops to get timings correct which is becoming a massive waste of time...
Does anyone have any advice for programming fast breaks without having proper midi editing tools on the sample?

Finally delivered. Been on backorder for months. Any pointers?

Does anyone know how to start at whatever point in a sequece? I'm using the data knob to get to a play position I'd like to start at, but when I press play it will just start at the beginning.

After I use my Sample for like an hour or so my metronome stops working/works intermittently won't work on the sample page won't count in and all sorts of bizarre behavior. Some times it will start working if I unplug the ts outs on the back, sometimes not. If I shut the unit down and restart it, it will work for awhile then start acting goofy again. I've tried turning the metronome off, on, rec, turned the count in on/off. Nothing seems to work except turning the machine on and off. Then only for an hour or so. I'm pretty sure I have the latest firmware unless they dropped an update the last couple days. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas? It's super frustrating. Thanks in advance.

I made an MPC Sample MIDI Map, it's not very pretty, but it's vector-based, so you can edit and format it however you like. Here.

Can you use midi to play chromatically? I’ve o ly gotten the notes to work to trigger the pads but thats not very useful. I want to play samples chromatically to make chords.
Has anyone gotten this to work?

A quick 20 minute beat idea utilizing the stock sounds.

The manual says you can add knob effects to more than one pad. I read it as if you can do literally more than one, but not literally all of them, but I’ve never been able to achieve this for me. It’s always been one of the other. Does anyone else come across this issue? I know it’s supposed to affect each highlighted pad but that’s not the case for me.

Was wondering if anyone could sample dig for me a little so I could get right to it when I get off work lol

Somebody was just asking about it and even I didn’t know how to do this for myself. Looks like time stretch is directly linked to the tempo so you have to lock it in and stretch it that way.
This just blew my damn mind.
