Editing a pad sample
You can edit a pad sample without going to TRIM mode.
While editing a pad sample in Program mode, you can use
“Time stretch” edit and “Pitch Shift” edit.
Note : You can edit the pad sample assigned only in Layer 1 in
SAMPLE page.
Time Stretch (Changing the length of the sample)
The Time Stretch edit can lengthen or shorten the se-
lected sample without changing the pitch. This is use-
ful when you want to match one sample to another
(even though they have different tempos), to fit a
sample into a specific period of time or into a track.
01. In the Program mode, press the [F3] (PARAMS) key.
The PARAMS page will be displayed.
02. Select the desired pad by hitting it.
03. Press [F6] (EDIT) key.
The Pad Sample Edit key will be displayed.
04. In the Edit field, select the TIMESTRETCH.
In the Pad field, the selected pad for edit is dis-
played. This field displays only the selected pad
number in the Parameter page...
05. The Original tempo field will be displaying the tempo
of the currently selected sequence, so you will need
to set it to the original tempo of the selected sample.
If you do not know the tempo of the selected
sample, you can use the DETECT TEMPO page and
the MPC1000 will find out for you.
• Using the DETECT TEMPO
I. In the Pad Sample Edit window, press the [F2]
(TEMPO) key.
II. Press the [F5] (DO IT) key.
The Pad Sample Edit window will be displayed and
the calculated tempo in the DETECT TEMPO will
be set automatically in the Original Tempo field.
Note : Depending upon the sample (such as a single snare drum
sample), the DETECT TEMPO may not be able to detect the
correct tempo.
06. In the new field, set the desired new tempo.
Tips :
If you wish to change the sample length with %, you can use
the following method. For example, if you want to lengthen the
sample with 120%, simply set the original tempo to 100, and then
set the new tempo to 120. Now you can get the 120% longer sample.
07. Set the Preset field and Adjust field if necessary.
Preset :
The MPC1000 uses 18 preset algorithms to
carry out the timestretch process, so you
should select a preset that nearest resembles
your sample’s content. If you are not happy
with the result, try experimenting with differ-
ent presets.
Each preset is further divided into A, B or C:
A :
Standard quality timestretch with fast processing.
B :
Better quality timestretch with slower processing.
C :
Highest quality timestretch with slower processing.
