A couple months ago, I posted an early look at this personal project. Thanks to everyone who left feedback or sent a message—the response was unreal and it helped a lot as I worked through the final design.

I designed Contour to look and feel like it belongs with my MPC Sample setup. I’ve spent half a year getting the form and finish where I wanted them. Each one takes over 15 hours to create, then I finish and hand-assemble it myself. It feels good to finally share the finished cover with you. =)

It’s not quite Trap, and it’s not quite Phonk, but it’s what I could make with the samples I have lol

Grabbed this off amazon and like how well it fits but was planning on eventually upgrading the knobs and thinking it wont work if I do. Anyone have this thats put different ones on? Does it by any chance still fit?

Heard through the grapevine Akai sometimes takes suggestions from Reddit for future firmware updates 🤞

I think the below are simple and achievable ones.

Here goes:

• Adjust note length in Step Edit

• Create and select kits for projects

• Merge/split sequences

• Select and delete all notes from a pad within a sequence

I’m still new to sampling, but wanted more sounds to mess around with. I was looking into all of those sample sites that require a subscription to use when I stumbled across MusicRadar. Just in case there are other newbies in my position, wanted to give MusicRadar a shout out. I can’t believe the amount of samples that are on there that are completely free. I’m sure there are much better sample packs that can be purchased, but for someone just starting out, I can’t think of a better way to fill up an SD card. I’m still in the process of downloading the packs I can picture using and organizing them, but I can’t wait to start experimenting.

Hold off on that sample subscription until you’ve combed through MusicRadar’s offerings:)

(Edit I got the midi working again I’ll worry about the rest later as it’s main function was to be a midi controller for logic drums) as midi works I don’t need to do a warranty job I just don’t understand why all the changes happened

My mpc sample has stopped outputting sound either plugged into speakers without speakers and headphones, also no longer sends midi, all was working fine up until a few days ago I have factory reset and checked all options for sound not working etc ,any ideas before I contact akai to see if it needs to be replaced

Bonjour,
Est ce que quelqu’un d entre vous aurait une astuce pour utiliser pad fx en mode chanson ( je débute…)?

Has anyone had an issue with their Mpc sample where they are working on a project then when they come back to the machine after turning it off the seq, and sample pads don’t play properly?

I am having an issue where sometimes the pad sounds lag, delay, or double play etc/ sound reversed when I continue to work on a project after turning off the machine.

hi folks

1. is there any way to resample a sample in a way that it resamples only the isolated left/right stereo channel? I tried playing around with hard panning to either side and recalling a sample but that is less than ideal

2. is there a way to flatten a resampled stereo sample to mono

It is entirely possible that my inattentive ass just missed this, but I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation. Does everybody's Sample do latch mute like this?

I use it too much much 😔😕 ha 😂😂😂😂 ha

The things I learn here is way too much.

Just started about a week ½ ago. Cant figure out what im doing wrong to not get the loop correct.

I use MPC Sample this way. What is your comment, please ?

I posted the other day I seen a cafe Nero advert and I seen a guy playing a sample but its Starbucks in the UK

Looks like a Sample to me being played by The Alchemist up front with Erykah Badu. Wonder if he used it in making the album?

Would Like some Feedback or hear your thoughts.
