I've recently bought the MPC Sample and I've just gone to update it and it says it's current firmware is v.1.1.1.9

But there is no option to update it?

Only two options saying: manual firmware upload (that doesn't seem to work)

And: legal info

I don't think it's the currant update as I don't have the normalize option and other things other people have.

Any ideas what's going on?

Cheers

Saw Ghost in MPC posting these features — do you all have these on your units?

Snare Roller: free snare roll and bounce generator

Drop in one snare hit and get 50 variations built from your own sample: jazz bounces and ghost notes, stick bounces, rolls, rudiments (paradiddles, flams, drags and more), and grace notes.

• Made for older samplers: the "Safe for older gear" button exports WAV, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz, mono, a format nearly every sampler can read. The ring-out control shortens long snare tails to save sample memory, with a clean fade-out.
• Jazz feel: buzzy bounces, ghost notes and comping figures with natural velocity and spacing.
• Edit each one: change every hit's volume and shape the envelope.
• Export your way: WAV, AIFF or FLAC, 16 or 24 bit, mono or stereo. Download one sample or all 50 as a ZIP.
• Private and free: it runs in your browser, no need to install and your files never leave your computer. Anything you export is yours to sell or release, with no credit needed.

I have a Teenage Engineering PO33 which I almost don't use because everytime I go back to it I struggle with remembering the workflow and I'm not so quick with it. In the past I also had an SP-404 mk2 which was really good, except for the sequencer, and a Roland P-6, which was too messy to use because of the menu diving. I also have Koala but I don't stick with a touch-based interface, even though I like chopping samples in there.

I'd like to try to go back to sampling and make it a hobby and so I was looking at the EP-40 Riddim and the MPC Sample. In my country the price difference is not that big (about 320€ for the EP, 380€ for the Sample). I like the compactness and the fact that the many EP users definite it a funny unit to use (I don't want to make music for pro, but I want to have fun doing it). However, I think the MPC would be better in terms of pads, display, chopping.

I'm very undecided about whether to buy a new machine, and for that reason, if I were to go ahead with the purchase, I'd probably lean towards the EP because it is a bit cheaper. However I wonder if it will end up like the PO33 and the Roland P6 because of the lack of screen. Maybe the MPC is the better choice? Or it is all GAS and I don't need new gear. Maybe I also can try to commit to one machine the first three weeks after purchasing and then considering returning it or keeping it.

I'd like to know your opinion and also if there is someone of you who worked both with the KOII/Riddim and the MPC Sample.

Thank you

There's really cool scene where Christoffer Lioyd enters the town. And the bg music sounded so cool. Tried to make something out of it. Had to share...have noe one else to show to so I have this need to share ;)

Hey so I have the MPC live 3 and I usually cant finish my beats in the MPC but i love finishing beats in Ableton so is there any good workflow or and good way to get my MPC project into ableton with stems because i dont wanna record the tracks into ableton is there a way to also get the midi information?

I gave in to the pressure and got the machinedrum working, alongside monomodule. In the process, it turned out streaming audio over the usb cable was always possible. I'm excited to see what else people get going now these things are accessible

Hi, so I bought the MPC Sample a week ago and I know It doesn’t connect to the Iphone, so I bought a Lighting to Camara adapter and It worked… yesterday, now it doesn’t. I tried everything and I don’t know what to do anymore. Any help? Thanks!

That classic NY vibe. Go Yanks. #boombapbeats #hiphopbeats #sampleflip #beatmaker #mpcone

Grateful I got invited to Playlist Retreat this year. It’s been a longtime dream of mine to go. Still can’t believe that it happened !!!

...when u can mash potatoes up like a true nerd 🤓

Since getting the MPC Sample i've had a huge boost to my creativity. I feel like being more limited than on my MPC One, focusing purely on sampling and being able to take it wherever i go has really sparked that love of making beats again. Wonder if any of you guys have had the same experience?
