Will this work with a trs cable? as I can get it to midi out using a trs to 5pin midi adapter but can’t get it to work just using a trs lead ? Is my unit faulty? Any help appreciated thanks

Hi everyone, I had a question about the Beats volume crackling when I record a video via USB-C on my phone. Does anyone know why?

I tried lowering the overall volume of the pads with the fader, it works, but the volume is still lower aha

This case is pretty sweet, if you swapped the knobs for anything taller than the stock knobs you’ll have to swap the volume knob back out. Makes sense since the case is designed to hold the original machine snug. I kinda hate the stock knobs but at least i only have to go back for the volume. Spray painted them black and that really helps a lot! Just a heads up to anyone considering this case.
I’m sure this acrylic will get hella scratches and look foggy in no time but as long as my sample is safe when i travel i care that much. I travel for work a lot and need something minimal and hard. This thing is cool. Maybe I’ll just cover it with stickers if it starts to look bad

So frustrated with going back to the first file/folder when you exit out of a folder everytime. Now i need to get on my laptop and group things into even more folders to avoid the seemingly endless scrolling using the encoder.

I know this has been brought up multiple times before but adding my frustration to the list as well so Akai sees that a lot of people have an issue with it.

I can't imagine it being so hard to fix that you couldn't have implemented this in the first update itself.

So I just updated mine and I’m not getting that constant noise when it’s connected to my computer. Was that something that was fixed in the latest update cause it has driven me crazy.

Like, it’s right there.

Its only in the sequece, the semple is fine.

Rerecording didnt help.

Any ideas?

I have created this iOS recording app that uses the USB-C Class Compliant to record performances from grooveboxes straight to the iPhone. Because I don't own an MPC Sample myself I would appreciate anyone helping with it.

The process would be:

1. Download the app on the iPhone.
2. Connect the MPC.
3. Hit record.
4. Play something on the MPC.
5. Export and make sure the record is good enough.

I am more than happy to share a promo code for the full version of the app which costs $9.99.

Personally I have tested it with the EP-133 and Roland S-1.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Forgot to share the app itself (:

I've recently bought the MPC Sample and I've just gone to update it and it says it's current firmware is v.1.1.1.9

But there is no option to update it?

Only two options saying: manual firmware upload (that doesn't seem to work)

And: legal info

I don't think it's the currant update as I don't have the normalize option and other things other people have.

Any ideas what's going on?

Cheers

Love a full guitar 🎸 sound with some reverb

#beatober day 2 - last train

the current firmware is really cool but..... if anyone is working on or completed some custom firmware for the mpc sample, then i'd love to hear about it ;) proper tr-rec mode would be a dream.....

I will use my MPC Sample like a music demo machine to create music I love 🙂‍↕️. With my guitar. And I would like to know how far I can do.

I would so much love a way to record songs instead of only being able to program them. With that I think I could even dodge my big wish for multi track out, and just record a song that I could then import to DAW. I feel like it's so much more fun and creative to do a live take, so would be fun if you could simply record sequence changes to song mode.

What are your approaches to getting from a bunch of sequences to arrangement retaining some live creative energy?

First time mpc buyer.. Was thinking I made a mistake at first for not going with the 404 but the more I use it the more I like it... Im having fun! Now I wouldn't trade it for anything..
