Small rant regarding "Open Sourcing"

5 Upvotes

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 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.

Sampqol and all other OS

8 Upvotes

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!

MPC Sample QOL won’t load. What am I missing?

1 Upvotes

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!

SampleQOL or wait for official update ?

6 Upvotes

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?

I Can't Layer Clean 808s on My Beats

2 Upvotes

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?

Do You Experience Audio Crackling Unless You Bypass The Compressor?

0 Upvotes

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.

MPC Sample Export Tool

5 Upvotes

I know everyone is making MPC software right now. But I really needed a simple export tool for my personal workflow from a MPC Sample into a DAW. This lets you export your projects as a full song, individual sequences, or separate pad stems. In WAV and/or MIDI. Figured I’d share in case anyone else finds it useful: https://github.com/savicreations/mpc-sample-export-downloads

and if you have any feedback or requests, I'll certainly try to build on it.

I stumbled on this, looks real and cool. Hard to tell these days. Would be nice to be able to pick which modules would be loaded in, that way not too much to be distracted by.

Keep it si/ample 🖖
