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.
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 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.
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.
@@zackcolbourne6921 You might be joking, but I have heard of people extracting frequency ranges from white noise and using that as the basis for an instrument. Could be pretty awesome! 😆
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.
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?
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.
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
@@FreeBeat i gotta try it but i was thinking if I buy anything from Polyend it would be the play but the tracker I’ve never used one before, I’m heavily making hip hop and Lofi at the moment
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 :)

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

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

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!
Thanks as always!

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).
Great tip, thanks!

Best sampler Compared to the polyend tracker
It may be more powerful, but it's not necessarily more enjoyable.
@@zackcolbourne6921 for me, it's a toss up between MPC One and Koala Sampler for those two different reasons you mentioned!
Yeah but the Tracker is a WAY better groovebox and songwriting tool IMO haha.

Weird you and other people would have crashes. I had one the first day I had it before updating the firmware, but after that it's been fine.
Glad it's been working for you!

@@FreeBeat excellent, man. Thanks for the tip
The first time i tried doing this with My mpcone black it crashed. I'll try it with My newest gold mpc to c if it now works
for not being familiar with the mpc you know a lot of features haha i didn't knew that there is a auto sample function. 🙈
No way haha, I knew something about the MPC One that you didn't? That's crazy, it's one of the coolest features!
