don’t understand why you would start out with a 3 1/2 bar sample, then chop into 1/7, why not 2 bars into 1/8?
i wanna make beats so bad but i have no idea where to start. should i buy one?
get fruity loops
because the samples will be getting triggered from the pads anyway… how u chop the samples (apart from the start and end) doesn’t matter that much… u’ll be rearaging everything when u come 2 make ur beat anyway
hey, i have the MPC2000 not an XL version. that particular zone feature which you can ask how many zones you want…its not on the mpc2000. someone help me with this situation.
I want to buy an MPC-2000 not the XL, is it just as easy to chop in the 2000?
a sample is something taken from another thing. for example, a quote used in a movie could be sampled to be used in a song. and sampling that quote would be this machines job
i know wat a sample is, wat is the sample used in this video
this guy sounds like devin the dude yo lol
u right, start small, then work ur way up
NICE TUTORIAL,BUT WHERE’S PT 2?!
ok.. how do i assign the zones to the pads??
It’s slowed down, not as fluent. But some people like the sound of it better.
go to the zone screen decide how many zones u want and click open window and slice sound, it will make a new program and assign it to a drum holder
haha i cant believe i dident figure this out, thats hella simple
It’s just as easy but there’s no auto zone or slice
A nerdy white version maybe.
Or if u do like what this tutorial did he didnt assign them to pads yet. So U go to programs (shift 6)and hit any pad. if it says off that means there is no sound loaded on that pad so scroll it till the sounds u chopped start to appear.
HAHA
Can only chop in 16′s
You poor buggger
huh?
Craig Jones from Slipknot used this in the M.F.K.R Days.
@jaidingo yea the mpc1000 jjosxl chopshop is perfection, i had to sell it to live though now i have a borrowed xl
i don’t own one, but i imagine you can always take a chopped sample and chop it again. but i thought i read somewhere on youtube that the mpc2000 can’t quantize more than 16ths.
Up to 16?
damn.
but i guess u can cut that sample in to then cut both into 16ths right?
nice tut. btw
woah woah !
once theyre chopped how do we assign them to pads??
PLEASE HELP!
i’ve got a 2000 btw not XL if that makes a difference
