New Features in Sample Edit
Besides the reworked chop functions of the MPC 1000,
JJ also added four new editing features: the possibility
to insert silence, a stereo to mono converter, a bit and
sample frequency converter, and a ring modulator.
A lot of people have requested these features, and
finally they've become reality. Below, you will find
brief descriptions of the new options in Sample Edit.
• Insert Silence
01.
Enter Trim Edit via [MODE] and [Pad 6], and select the
sample you want to insert silence in.
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6
02.
Next, set the position where silence should be inserted
by moving the startpoint.
03.
04.
05.
Press [EDIT] (F6) and scroll through the Edit menu until
you find INSERT SILENCE.
Next, set the length of the silence in a range from 1ms
(min.) to 5000 ms (max.).
Press [DO IT] (F5). The Silence will be inserted at the
position where you placed the cursor in step 02. Done.
NOTE: You cannot undo inserting silence! You can only
delete the silence manually by cutting it. So it’s wise to
make a copy of the sample before you add silence to it.
• Convert Stereo to Mono
01.
Enter Trim Edit via [MODE] + [Pad 6] and select the
sample you want to convert from STEREO to MONO.
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6
02.
Press [EDIT] (F6) and scroll through the Edit menu until
you find one of the following Options:
03.
STEREO L => MONO
STEREO R => MONO
STEREO L+R => MONO
STEREO L-R => MONO (Vocal Cut)
Select the type of conversion you want to make and
press [DO IT] (F5). Done.
NOTE: You also cannot undo the Stereo to Mono
conversion! So it’s safer to make four copies of the
original sample and test all of the conversion options
until you find what you are looking for (unless you’re
already sure what you want to do).
