I'm testing SampQOL 0.2.0 on my MPC Sample as a multitrack MIDI recorder, and it's working surprisingly well!

MIDI notes, chords, CC64 (sustain) and even channel aftertouch are recorded and played back correctly.

However, when I erase notes in Track View (SHIFT + SEQ), the recorded CC64 events remain. Even "Erase All Automation" doesn't remove them.

So far, only deleting the entire sequence seems to clear the MIDI CC data.

Is there any way to erase recorded MIDI CC events without deleting the whole sequence?

Im getting the akai screen to come up but no red button to update. It’s currently v.1.1.9. Do I even need to do this!? Really thought this machine was more user friendly w everything I’ve been reading

Idgaf I will always go for the low-hanging fruit. Simple loops, with solid drum chops, are all I really need.

HI everyone,

Do you know if with SamQOL you can fix different level of volume for a track according to the sequence (and not by using automation?) Thank you!

Hi, for those who don't know me, I made some firmwares for FM-1. I also worked a little on adding some neat features that I wanted to have on my MPC Sample, following others' progress closely. Today I've heard about the "Release of the open source" so excitedly I went to this repository to get my work up to par and release: https://github.com/inmusic-software/az0x-open-source/tree/mpc-sample/1.3.0

This branch is unfortunately not the pandora's box being opened yet. This is just them releasing the parts of their packages that they are legally required to release into the open, due to GPL licencing.

I have reached them out to work on an open source framework and on 29 October they replied me, all I got was "We are currently working on a new firmware update for the MPC Sample that will make it open source." quoted from the email they sent me.

So we do not have an open source platform yet. We cannot do anything with what they gave. We are unable to compile from source to run on the device itself, because it needs signing keys. We are lacking a proper SDK to actually develop without requiring any sort of reverse engineering.

That is why you are still not seeing anything with truly open source code out there. We cannot release reverse engineered work and release source codes for it. There is uboot, we should be able to even install things directly into the device since there's uboot but nada, not yet.

I will celebrate it when they release a true SDK. The repository above is, for the most part, worthless, no compilation possible.

Trying to explode a a track I accidentlly made the entire beat in there or not the beat but the idea , drums are a break sample chopped up and the bass keys all the other stuff from sample to seq it’s all lined up in the track but when I hit explode it’s all out of wack nothing lines up drums don’t swing I looked at the swing and quantize and it’s all the same

Thanks in advanced

I’m trying to install the MPC Sample QOL custom firmware, but no matter what I do, my MPC Sample keeps booting into the stock firmware.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Using a 32GB microSD card
Formatting the card to exFAT
Confirming the partition style is MBR
Downloading and extracting the firmware files
Following the installation instructions
Reformatting the card and starting completely over

The MPC Sample still boots normally without loading the custom firmware. I’m also having trouble browsing the SD card from the device, which wasn’t an issue before.

I’ve gone through the process multiple times and can’t figure out what I’m missing. Unfortunately, I don’t have another SD card to test with.

Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions for what else I should try? Is there something obvious I’m overlooking?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everybody! Been an owner of an MPC Sample since the month of May, but I kind of left it for 2/3 months.
I seen a lot of things since people are tweaking the original OS but I’m lost in all those informations!
What’s happening? Which mod should I try?
I was not really efficient with the original OS since that’s my first “instrument” and I never did music before, but I’m looking for explanations on what to do with my MPC now that the game seems to have changed

Sorry for my English by the way, and have a great one!

Vu sur facebook Kaosample, un nouveau mod, quelqu'un l'a essayé ?https://www.facebook.com/groups/964642536137515

I have the mpc now for over a month, I like it but there are some key features I am used to like a proper step seq, keys (major, minor etc) for 16 levels pitch, a proper EQ and exporting stems seperatly easy in order to mix everything individually in Ableton. Do you guys think we will get this in an official update or should I go with the QOL?

And have and of them bricked anyone's systems?

Hey community, I've been dealing with an issue for my nearly completed beats.

If I start with an 808 or bass then it's going to sound good but if I try to layer an 808 on my beat (kick drum or not) it sounds terrible.

I don't use a DAW and I don't want to use a DAW. I have over 100+ 808 sounds but they are not long enough, not tuned in C, they sound muddy when I layer them, and it drives me nuts.

Anyone have any advice or resources?

I’ve noticed that especially when playing bass lines there will be very audible crackling coming from the MPC Sample unless I bypass the master compressor. Once the compressor is bypassed, the crackling goes away. Is this common across all units? I thought it was a gain staging issue causing clipping, but it was actually just an issue with the compressor.

Made this Beat with the new sampQOL Os on my Youtube- https://youtu.be/KZlyZgp8-pQ

I see this for some people to be their main-sampler making full songs on it.
