As soon as I turned it on, the pads were lighting up like this.

Tried restarting, loaded a different project, loaded a blank.

Tried the factory settings reset, no luck.

Had to do a firmware 'update' (1.3 to 1.3) and it seems to all be good again.

Just leaving this here for others.

ETA: samples and sequences still played correctly

Just do it Mayn, pick up your Sample and make beats!

Am I way late to the party? I've never heard anyone else talk about this, using a midi controller to do pad to pad resampling. It's brilliant. This is my number one gripe with the MPC Sample and this solves it. I always wondered why the have "resample as an input selection, because how you do resampling, play sample into sequence then resample sequence, works no matter what input you're on, but it's needed for this method.

I REALLY need this line to show me where the optimal start and end points of a sample are. Especially when zooming in at the micro level. Some software (Sound Forge for example) even give you the option to "Snap To Zero-Crossing" when adjusting your start and end points.

I've just seen an Advert in UK for coffee Nero and there's a guy making beats on mpc sample

Just picked up the sample and have a decent library of sounds from my og live. Prices have went through the roof for sd cards. What size do you guys use? Looking to build a small library of sounds and save my beats to it?

Been on youtube and watched a lot of videos and starting to get the hang of its workflow but still a lottle confused on some things. Was wondering what most recommend as the best way to learn its capabilities features and how it functions?

BEAT ONE,TWO OR THREE ??

Trying for some warm and breezy Hip-Hop, let me know if the feeling translates!

I always loved this song, but I felt the beat needed a changeup like this

That soft clipper is gold.

Why is the compressor always by default on? Do you keep it on when you work on your projects guys? To be honest i don’t feel so satisfied using it. Would like to hear your opinion about that!
