MPC Sample Review (+ my autosampler for it coming up...!)
Hi!
MPC Sample is here - you've heard the rumors/leaks, and all the details are in my video.
As I was exploring it, I discovered it can be significantly enhanced with an autosampler, because its chops can be sequenced directly from the sliced pad, without exporting/extracting first, so I put together an autosampler for it (well, AI helped, and if you're curious, Gemini Pro did a better job than Claude this time). I'll be uploading access to that for the WaveShaper tier soon.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first ever MPC review that starts in 5/4...
Enjoy!
All my best,

Ha! Gear addiction strikes again. Last time it was the Keystep review.. this time it's... an MPC? Shocker! Great review as usual. Great box, too. One question: at around 12:51 there's a brief glimpse of a normalize function under the B key. Can't seem to find it with the current firmware- or am I just missing the shift combo?
Thanks! Hey, some features were added in a beta that I received just two days before the launch. I'm sure they'll release it soon.
Ordered! Question: what's the best way to connect this plus my S-1 to the Circuit Tracks. Not asking which cables, but workflow wise. Is it better to just run both separately via midi to the Circuit Tracks? I want to use the CTs sequencer and add the S-1 synth and some samples to my project. Also, would I need to connect to sync?
I'm rusty re my Circuit Tracks knowledge, but you should be able to sequence S-1 with it over MIDI easily!
Thanks for the review! Loved the Brubeck at the beginning. Do you happen to know if you can route live audio through to the pad and/or knob effects, to use it just as an effect pedal? Couldn't find the manual online, but maybe they're just slow on uploading it. Thanks 🙏
My pleasure and thanks :) Yes, you can route live audio through the pad and knob fx
Hi there I was wondering how do I get access to this software you mentioned on this video. Called autosampler. Thank you
Thanks for signing up! I’ll post it tomorrow!
Wow! You’re the first person per usual! 🔥 Thanks for this overview. I ordered mine first thing this morning from Amazon. Can’t wait to try it out!
My pleasure - enjoy!
