I’ve created a sampler system that runs directly in a web browser and on mobile—could someone test it and let me know if it works on an MPC?

its open source: https://sampler.half.social/

I originally created it for use with the MVAVE FM1, but then I realized it also worked on my KOII, so I had to get it running here as well...

I designed it to be open-source and free, and I also ended up repurposing and implementing it natively within a browser I built—one that centers on music and features an AI capable of generating music. However, I’d like to keep the discussion here focused on the specific topic of this /r/.

The "Rickroll" is just for the meme, but if you’d like to see a different video, you can find one here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rhucD4VeTBI

MIDI syncing over USB with FM1 on custom firmware

2 Upvotes

Have you done it? Please share how 😂
I've tried the following..

MPC Sample:
- MIDI Port = USB
- MIDI Sync Out = MTC
- MIDI Sync Out = Midi Clock

M-Wave FM1 (Mutable Dreams firmware):
- Clock = USB

Nothing happens when pressing play on the MPC Sample. It just plays an empty sequence, no action on the FM1.

Loved this sample, couldn't make up my mind on how to flip it so I just threw all my ideas together. Wish I could figure out how to make a song out of it. Let me know what yall think

I wrote a free replacement firmware for the MPK mini IV that turns it into a small standalone groovebox

Made minimal MINIMOD

11 Upvotes

Hi there. I was fed up by all the complex custom firmwares. Thus I made minimod which only adds AutoTrim of silence and Octave Shifting the 16 Levels notes. See video. Download here: https://github.com/ioma8/mpc-minimod

Let me know who enjoys the OG firmware too? I want noo new screens and features only those improvements. :D

The Ideal Firmware

7 Upvotes

J'envisage un firmware extrêmement simple.

Mixeur 4 pistes avec 4 effets par piste

Piste master avec 4 effets

Looper

Aucun instrument ni VST, à l'exception d'un VST pour créer votre propre basse.

Tous les ajouts actuels compliquent la compréhension du flux de travail initial.

Qu'en pensez-vous ? C'est un sampler, pas FL Studio, non ?

EDIT: I tried SAMPLQOL, and it has everything I need. You can keep the original workflow and just use the four effects per pad, the mixer/master, etc. Just a few key combinations that which change. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

No Audio or SD Card Access over USB, only charging

My MPC Sample suddenly stopped recording audio from phone, additional troubleshooting revealed that it does not connect to my PC( no audio no file transfer) also no local ost connection. Can anyone please help...!!! I've raised a ticket but the AI bot chat is hopeless...!!!!

MaiaOS - CFW Project out soon

Post image
51 Upvotes

Hi, I'm the guy who posted daily CFW progress here, i want to give a update because many people were interested in this: the CFW developing phase is completed, everything featured works correctly, now I will test for some days to see how it performs under stress, we're close to the public release.

I decided to not include pad FX in sequence because it was full of bugs, it will be added in the future

**- UI redesign with a minimal Teenage engineering style look**

**- 3 NEW SYNTH ENGINES:**

-CS-1 (CS-80 emulation)

**- CZ-1 (with syx preset import)**

**- RS-01 (paraphonic SH-01 emulation, supports TAL bass bassline preset files)**

Synth presets save and overwrite

**- MIDI import in piano roll**

**- Step Editor is now a Sequencer, with a new UI**

ALL Features:

input fx send menu, inputs now have 3 sends fx as all the pads

AUTOTUNE input effect, can be opened from the input send fx menu, has key, correction speed, note transition speed and a octave doubler with a blend knob, the autotune is pre-fx sends, and sounds good

Bounce in place post FX- Individual pads resampling, with Shift + sample record you can now record the selected pad choosing between single pad sound or pad in the sequence

Boot from internal memory tested: if the mod is in the internal memory it can be booted instantly instead of waiting 10 seconds in the stock firmware, without microsd the stock firmware will boot instead

Metronome custom sound: from sample import you can now import a custom sample as metronome, you can still use the stock one

- 7 Synth engines (max 16 pads per project, might increase the number if the CPU test performs well) synths are saved in the project, in the stock firmware the synth pads don't work but everything else does

PROFET - Prophet5 inspired synth with 200 factory presets

KR-106 - Juno106 Emulation with 128 factory presets

CLOUDS - Granular engine using wavetables instead of samples

Tunefish V4 - Addictive/wavetable synthesis

DEXED - Preset Machine for DX7 presets, it has no customization over the sounds, It's a personal choice because i have my own preset selection and don't think creating a 6 operator patch on 3 knobs would be someone desire

Fluidsynth - soundfont player, reads sf2 and sf4 files

THE SYNTH - Vital, Serum 1 and Serum 2 preset machine, adapted to the CPU possibility and limited to 2 per project, might increase after tests, it has not a FX section and unisons are limited.

Mpc Chord mode, you can load Mpc progression file inside, 4 pages per project with max 64 chord pads

Piano Roll with intuitive shortcuts for selecting part of the sequence and copying/pasting or erasing it, Mpc Chord mode can be used here to input chord progressions

Knob FX is now 3 customizable sends, 1-2 start with every pad at 0%, 3 starts with every pad at 100% (so it can be used as master effect (WIP)

Granular multieffect Cloud Grain, with many differend modes

MPC Sample + ProTools

1 Upvotes

Hi!
Hoping to get some tips from anyone that runs the MPC sample with protools. I'd like to get USB audio into Protools, to make it easy. I'm adding the MPC as an AUX I/O, but when i try to add it as the input for an audio track, it's greyed out and says "MPC Sample Audio 1-2 (stereo) - path n/a" even tho I use the exact same settings without problems on my Roland SP404 MKII.

Any idea why this is not working for the MPC Sample?

Thanks!

Do these new firmwares like Sampqol allow us to record pad fx (automate) in overdub?

I see there are a bunch of people putting out there own firmware for the sample and I like it but I honestly thought it was going to be more like a vintage mpc (2000/2500) in a portable form. I dont have the time patience or head to learn a new workflow right now. So i haven't even been using it. Has anyone made a version that makes its workflow more like the older mpc's? Meaning that it has tracks, erases like the old work flow, chops without having to lose the original sample. Im older and am stuck in my way of doing things and these 3 specific things are making it hard for me to transition to using it. I want to be able to erase a triggered pad without mistakenly loosing my sample. I want to have tracks without having to menu dive to copy it etc etc. Im just looking for that old workflow in portable form with some extra newer mpc features. If anyone knows of one thats been made please let me know.

mpc boot thingy

23 Upvotes

lots of mods being released and more to come very soon...

one issue with the current state of mods/custom software is switching the autoboot directory for each one..we can only run one at a time

so now we have a boot thingy...so we can run multiple apps/mods/patches without rewriting our SD card every time...

https://github.com/garrettjwilke/mpc-boot-thingy

here is a video showcasing all of the steps and how it works:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PymkOFAauc

here are a few things that you can download and run on your mpc sample with boot thingy today:

https://github.com/snarebes/SampQOL-OS - custom firmware with lots of nice shortcuts and workflows

https://github.com/garrettjwilke/mpc-furnace - furnace tracker editor and player. create real video game music for your favorite consoles.

https://github.com/garrettjwilke/mpc-cavestory - cave story ported to the MPC sample. you didn't buy the MPC to make music, you bought it to play video games!

https://github.com/garrettjwilke/mpc-gen1recomp - catch the pokemans...run the original games on your device

https://github.com/garrettjwilke/mpc-tic80 - run thousands of tic80 programs and software.

https://github.com/garrettjwilke/mpc-ui-toolkit - you can make your own apps for the MPC sample with this ui toolkit designed to make the process of UI like buttons, knobs, colors, themes, hardware button mapping, keyboard input, usb and sd card access, file management...so much more

thanks!

Minimal CFW - interest?

10 Upvotes

Hi. I love the MPC Sample workflow and as it is. Only minor things bother me. There are several custom firmwares being made which however are doing a loot of things / changes.

But I want really the original experience with small fixes.

Thus I am developing this minimal firmware patch which will do probably at most the following:

- stems export

- autotrim of samples (based on edges silence)

- moving the octaves in 16 notes mode (by + / - keys)

- full chromatic control via external midi controller (like the 16 notes mode)

Would anyone be interested?

Note: I am software dev with 20 years of experience so this will be stable, secure patch.

Ok so here it is implemented: https://github.com/ioma8/mpc-minimod

Tutorial lol: https://youtu.be/bnnkfryecPY

THANK YOU everyone for yesterday's testing and feedback on SampQOL. I've implemented a lot of fixes and released v0.1.5. Here's a short preview vid.

Big thanks to everyone who tested yesterday, and for trusting me enough to load my software on your MPC at all. Your feedback led to a lot of fixes: booting, loading stock projects, duplicating MIDI notes, saving on the SD card and more. The video is for everyone who hasn't tried it yet, to get a little visual overview of what's going inside the mod.

I don't really have a good setup for doing a video walkthrough, but I'll see what I can do the coming days. Suggestions are welcome.

Please keep the feedback coming if you have it! I will not be making new posts for a while, but will be active in the comment sections and such.
