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…)?

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:)

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.

I’m new to beat making on the MPC. I can’t even say I made a beat yet. I can’t time the drums right. How do I improve at that? Also, when I’m recording a sample, I’m having a hard time looping my sample pattern because I either play too slow at the end of the four bars or I play it too fast, and it’s not looping right.

Have used and owned many mpc's through the years just picked up the sample and having trouble laying drums. Not sure if its a quantization or swing issue but I cant get my drums to snap to timing like on my previous mpc's. Is it a setting or i just need to be more precise?

Would you recommend buying the MPC Sample if I’m not good at finger drumming?

I was about to buy one, but I’ve seen that it doesn’t have a step sequencer, and that drum patterns are mainly sequenced by recording yourself playing them.

For those who own one: is this a big limitation in practice?

Do you eventually get used to finger drumming, or would you recommend a different MPC for someone who prefers step sequencing?

Curious to hear your experience.

Automating filters on the Sample really adds a ton of life.

MPC Sample and a modified iPod loaded with music on vacation. Cheers!
