no you dont…u need JJOS in order to chop easier and faster…i found it for free, but u need to buy a password otherwise you cant save sequences…but all MPCs have stock slice features
programs are pretty much your sounkits over the pads. without em, u cant make beats, and without beats, wats the point of having an MPC? lol…i need to get 1 ASAP so i can put all this knowledge to use
mine doesn’t have slice.. you know whasup with it?
update your akai os to 2.12. It’s available on the akai page.
can you do a start and end point for chopping samples tutorial
that looks like the blue and red mpc1000?
if it is how the f@*k are you able to slice up asample? I have the blue mpc1000 but i cant slice a sample. did u upgrade to os2 or jjos 3.08 or sumn? put me on, let me kno how i can get down on this slice feature…thnx!
how do u put ur music sample in the MPC ?
go to the akai site.. and they have a download and instructions on how to upgrade its also free, i just did it for my akai!
You Have to Upgrade the os (os2)
you can go to AKAI’s website to find & Download the upgraded os. then you can install it on your MPC1000
send me a message if you want more Details.
is there a software that cops and screws music? like on the comp? i need a good and easy one
if you are working with the rex-loop-player in reason you can use recycle…but a lot of programs have a sclicer
u probably need the 128 memory upgrade, u can use a certain type of laptop memory which cost like three times cheaper then the akai upgrade. check out a vid by christianaffiliate called mpc 1000 ram upgrade, watch the vid carefully because at 17 seconds into the vid he scrolls the type of laptop ram that he uses u can get it from amazon or ebay, u might wanna pause the vid when it starts to scroll on the bottom of the screen. hope this helps, the ram cost me about 25 dollarz from amazon
as long as you have the akai os 1.7 or higher or jjos, it should work
what if when i load my sample and it doesnt show that slice option on the F5 key …what is wrong?
yea im having the same problem as
chrisparris88, i dont see the slice option when i hit mode>trim
yo chris, did you ever find out what was wrong when the slice option didnt show up on your mpc 1000?
can you do this with the MPC500?
256 MB (PC_133) sodimm $20-30 bucks
what you need to do is either
1. downoad the newer os from akai, i believe you can get it for free on their website. you will need to reformat your mpc after you install it.
2. download and install jj os for 30- 40$. I would reccommend this option because jj os comes with a host of useful features like timestretch and grid note mapping. search google for jj os. hope that helps
no, it doesnt have the software to do it.
hey, i have a mpc 1000 + Presonus Firebox (Soundcard) + Stanton Turntable + a Computer
How would i connect all of this i realy want to start sampling using vinyls, please some one answer in detail i have no idea also do i need a mixer or can i use a soundcard instead? Thanks!
how can i get over directory error when i try to chop or save anything?
Everytime i try to chop a sample it keeps telling me “Insufficiant Memory”. I really don’t get this cos i have 1gb on my compact flash card. Can anyone help?
Damn don’t dawg sound like Gangstalicious????
Akia/Numark shouldn’t bother putting instruction manuals in MPC boxes anymore because NOBODY seems to read them!!
I thought this dude was black for sure until I saw his hand on the screen
