Great to hear you'll go on tour! In the MPC, you can choose to adjust the parameters of all samples at the same time, so you don't need to tweak the release time for each one.

Haha I noticed that right after finishing the video, whoops!

U dont have to do the envelope thing to each sample - switch to "all samples" at the top - and u can do this things to all samples at the same time, like envelope, effects and so on.

A tip for everyone. If you are doing one-shot samples like this, you can take all the samples over to your computer and edit them to remove extraneous silence, making the sample take less RAM. The MPC will still load the samples up no problem, as long as the names and locations are the same. I often overwrite the ones on my SD card with trimmed samples.

Great tip, thanks!

Great timing.. I recently delved into this for the first time. What a really great useful feature. The trouble is, I have had a lot of crashes. Mostly in controller mode keygrouping vst's to be fair but its irritating all the same.

Sorry to hear about the crashes! I've got my fingers crossed that I can make it work for my live shows haha.

FYI - using the Microfreak this way (powering over USB and having its audio connected to the MPC) may introduce a bit of ground loop hum in the audio. If you notice this (which it doesn't seem like it so far, but just mentioning in case it happens), plug the Microfreak in using its wall wart for power.

Or just start making really sweet songs out of ground loops.

Yeah I sort of did it absentmindedly, I was surprised when there wasn't really any ground noise haha.

This technique is darn handy, not gonna lie. I never use samples but this is cool! Thanks FB!

I bet if you wanted to you could put all the sounds you were using on a thumb drives and it would work really well with the MPC one I have had really good experience using that method with my MPC key 61

If you increased the tail you wouldn’t need to Increase the release so much and it would have sampled the more natural release from the synth I think.

True! Trails are awesome, I use them more than echo or reverb on the MPC (usually).

Best sampler Compared to the polyend tracker

Why does everyone skip 6 notes when auto sampling? Will that just create a patch of 2 notes per octave? Or will the MPC pitch each sample until it gets to the 6th and keep everything in chromatic order?

@docteurgreene

they want to minimize the storage space needed, and the time needed to do the autosample task. This is the second scenario in your question. I would say skipping 6 notes is too much, the sound will be quite bad... if I can I always try to sample each notes on 4 or 5 octaves to get the best sound possible.

Maybe a dumb question, but, you need to have the synth connected all the time in order to play this sounds? Or they can be saved in the MPC? Also, question 2: it saves the parameters so you don't have to adjust everything again every time? Cheers!

Nope, you don't need the synth connected! That's the whole point actually. The MPC Samples a bunch of notes (as many as you tell it to) from a synth, then you can play them as an internally sampled instrument without the synth with you. Everything can be saved if you want it to :)
