I love bit reduction so much. I almost always throw 12 bit on the hats, at least during filtered sections. You can really get a unique character by using it strategically. Same thing with bouncing an element or two to cassette and then bringing it back into the mix. Another thing that works wonders on hi hats.
The bit grunger is the best! If you route multiple tracks/samples to it, it acts like a drum bus so the samples interact and you get a dynamic compression and Saturation
If we had a timemachine in 1986, history would have taught us that the grass was not greener in the future, on the other side it was full of 24 bit overproduced weed that made tge garden look like shit 😛
Even some 60s and 50s recordings sound pretty good, reasonably clean to my ears. Maybe we have gone overboard with 24 bit... anyway I do record in 24 bit these days, but I'm sure 16 bit was almost as good!
@@lundsweden Well...I do think it is a mixed bag of potatoes. Personally, I am finding that most of the music I like is from pre 2010 and mostly from 60-90's, with a big love for 90's. To me, those 30 years are the golden era of music. On the other hand, kids growing up today are used to 24 bit fidelity from all the modern recordings and probably couldn't care less. But add modern production techniques, lots of reverb/eq/comp/sidechain, etc and you have a sound that you will either love, hate or feel meh about. I think the limits we had back then in all sorts of ways, simply made for better records as it pushed everyone to be creative with what they had unlike like today where everyy "beat" / song coming out sounds the same, flat, boring and uninspiring and here 24 bit does not polish the turd and may even have a hand it the record sounding too "sterile". That's my 10 cents
Had a 1000 but didn't know that. Not sure if I had the JJ is version. All l remember was the patterns could go back and forth without having to wait their completion. Still as a 16 bit sampler, me having an sp12 combo at the time would have made me keep it.
Can’t believe I have missed this feature for such a long time. I’ve had an MPC 1000 since 2012, and I really haven’t thought that much about this. Thanks for sharing! Peace
You deserved my sub for this dope tutorial.... Workin on lofi beats and that's sum good technique that I will use for my mpc renaissance. Thanks homie.. .
What version of JJOS are you on? I don't see the same sequence of menu's as you have. After Pitch Shift I do not get Bit reduction but some stereo to mono options
You are correct, this is a cool feature, and it sounds decent, but remember unless you have an actual 12 bit sampler like the s950, SP1200, etc, you will never know how much better the real thing sounds.
i mean the average non music producer wouldnt really know the difference between this 12bit and a sp1200 12 bit. They will just think wow it sounds lofi. Now a hardcore boom bap producer would know the difference in a heartbeat.
hi, does anybody know the solution to this problem? I own a MPC 1000 which runs the 3.16 free OS version with 128mb memory installed. I have 128mb card with 10mb (12 sequences) of data saved to it. I loaded the 10mb, (nothing else, no presets sound) into the MPC memory. when I try to record more notes to a track, it says: "INSUFFICIENT MEMORY". why? internal memory is 128mb. you load 10mb to it and you can't record anything else because there's no available memory? when you look at the available internal memory it shows: "CARD free: 118mb", "WAVE free: 110mb", "SEQ free: 13kb"... I need sequence memory. Is it possible to assign/transfer memory space from "WAVE" to "SEQ"? or is this a OS version problem?
Which JJOS is this? I have the free frol 2015 and dont have any of these bit options I think. Alsp how big of a difference is there in terms od crunch? Would be nice with a real comparison between this and an2000xl or older 😃
This is the JJOSXL. I highly recommend it. There's also the OS3 which is dope too but XL has everything you will ever need and then some. The crunch is good, but of course it just depends on what you're looking for.
@@illmuzik well, anything that sounds 90's is my thing :) Thanks! So I believe OS3 is the latest release with even more new features? and JJOSXL is a bit older yet has more stuff than what I currently have and worth paying 75 bucks for?
About 3 or 4 days ago (I know this isn't the same but) I got a pretty in-depth plugin for FL Studio that allows this sort of bit-crushing/resampling down to 12-bit. I don't know how to explain it but it sounds much different than normal bit-crushing, especially when you tweak the preset right. I genuinely put it on almost anything I make now, it just sounds so crisp and nice.

I am from Argentina, I just purchased an MPC2500 and your videos are helping me. thanks! 💪🏼🙏🏻
1986: Our new sampler is Hifi, 12 bit. 2021: My old sampler sounds Lofi, 12 bit!
crazy right ?

Wow, that's nice. I was going to eventually mess with this, this machine is deep. And easy to use.
Awwww man I didn’t know you could do that!! I definitely gotta get one now. 😵💫😵💫
Although I don't use the bit reduction that much , grunge is extremely useful on kicks and snares. Creates some great harmonics
Is this bit reduction available in the JJOS2XL version?
Is there a video showing what the pitch variation then sounds like on the down-sampled files?
I'm curious to hear that but I don't have the JJOS
Had a 1000 but didn't know that. Not sure if I had the JJ is version. All l remember was the patterns could go back and forth without having to wait their completion. Still as a 16 bit sampler, me having an sp12 combo at the time would have made me keep it.

another tip is throw that 4 band eq on the whole track and just leave the settings where they are or change em how u want
Good tips and helpful video!👌
You deserved my sub for this dope tutorial.... Workin on lofi beats and that's sum good technique that I will use for my mpc renaissance. Thanks homie..

Appreciate it!
Which jjos Version is that?
Can you do this on the MPC X?
What version of JJOS are you on?
I don't see the same sequence of menu's as you have.

Cool video! I do this on my Mpc 2000xl! Glad to see this on the 2500 down to 4. It’s 16,12,8 on the 2kxl
xl can do that?
@Paddydacook Yes it can. I got a video 📹 on my RUclips channel showing the technique
Great video! I over look this feature way 2 much! Thanks!
You are correct, this is a cool feature, and it sounds decent, but remember unless you have an actual 12 bit sampler like the s950, SP1200, etc, you will never know how much better the real thing sounds.
Debatable.

Remove the ram stick and try with mpc's hardware memory only. It might be that your ram stick is faulty.
Which jjos has this feature
OS-XL
🔥🔥🔥

@ Illmuzik can i use this function on the free JJOS ?
Yes. Free version disables save feature only
Can I use this 12bit function on the free JJOS version?
no

Is an update of the free jjos?
no
😎
Is there a jjos for the mpc5000?
Nope. Just the 1000/2500.
