Hello again,

I'm having trouble timestretching. I often use the "tune" function in the program menu and just slow a sample down , or speed it up, to fit my BPM's. I know I'm losing out by doing this. Sometimes, the beat comes out hot, other times, the sample becomes too slow, or too fast for my intended use.

Does anyone have a simple method to time stretch a sample to make is usable for, lets say a 90bpm hip hop beat? Thanks for your time.

Do you have the JJ os in your 1000?, cuz you need that to timestretch. The factory OS doesn't have timestretch

Thanks, great place to start. I'll see if I need updating this wekeend. It probably does, cuz i bought this unit used and it didn;t even have the extra RAM in it, so chances are, they never updated the OS.

Plus if you get the JJ OS it function as the MPC 2500, and a little better. Also, I wouldn't get the memory from the store (Guitar Center, Sam Ash) way over priced. Go to a regular computer store or on ebay cuz the sale between 45-85 bucks compared to $150.

Oh, my bad, I should've mentioned it before, I did get the memory already - that was task number 1. I got it on ebay for about the price you mentioned, like $55.
So you're suggesting the "JJ OS" and not the standard 2.10, or whatever it is they're up to, on the AKAI site?

If you wanna timestretch that feature isn't available on either OS on akai website. Google jj os and it should be the second article. I think it's $30 but read what it can do. IMO whoever created this is the reason they came out with the 5000, to make it seem like they came up with the stuff that the jj os has. Just check it out.

I'll peep it out for sure. But there is a time stretch function on the 1000, but you're saying that it just sucks for that feature right? Cuz I use the time stretch, but it distorts the sample big time if you stretch it too much. I'll see what's crackin, for $30, that's nothing.

DAMN, 3.08 is free now, so i'll start with that one tonight and see what's up with that. they're charging for the 4 point something version now . . . good lookin out.

Man, I downloaded the new OS and it didn't do a damn thing for my time strecthing - lol - it still sucks! I needed an update OS, so I don;t mind, BUT NOW I CAN;T SAVE THE WAY I WANT TO. I go to save "entire memory", then I create "new folder", and rename it, then that's it! IT LETS ME HIGHLIGHT THE FOLDER, BUT THERE IS NO "DO IT" TAB AT THE BOTTOM! It won't let me save it into the folder I just created. Back on the old version, I would just create the new folder, then hit close, and the folder would be "black" or filled in and boom, that was the folder you were saving in. Now it will only let me save the project into the Flash card, but not into a specific folder. I'm pissed

The free one it's the worst. And you can't save on it. You could try the OS from Akai they have a new one 2.11. But the JJ OS does more than the Akai OS when you pay for it. Let me ask you a question cuz I dealt with the whole timestretch thing...... When you try to stretch a sample it starts at 100%, how low or high do you take the percentage?

LOL - It does help, i'll try it now before i go o work - lol - no wonder why 3.08 is free - lol . . . lets see whats up . . . thanks again

It Worked - Back To Saving On 2.11 - I'll Download The Other Version You Spoke Of When I Had Time To Discuss The Differences With My Boy - "the Teacher" - Lol - I'm So Newbie In This, This Version Would Probably Hold Me Down A Lil Whle Longer Before I Start To Need Or Realize I Could Use The Other Version More . . .
