Is it possible to edit and chop samples with waveform view on the mpc 60 and S950 as it is possible on the MPC2000xl? If not, if I sample something on the S950 12 bit and bring it into the 2000xl to chop and edit will it still have that dirty 12 bit crunch to it?

No. It's all sample time based. No waveform.

If not, if I sample something on the S950 12 bit and bring it into the 2000xl to chop and edit will it still have that dirty 12 bit crunch to it?

No. Not completely. You would have captured the 12 bitness originally, but resampling into the 2000xl would add a little more clarity. I'd try it to see if the sound works for you. You could chop in the 2000 and resample into the 950 and midi them up when sequencing.

Midi the 2 together and use them. They work very well together if you're looking for the '12-bit' sound so many people are after. I use my 2000xl and my 60 with a S900 and they compliment well.
 
yeah no graphic wave form its all based on a percentage but it isnt that hard to do once you figure it out

I often get the "just use your ears" reaction when I try to school people on calculating correct sample lengths and I guess it's because they think triggering a sample from it's start point is the same as making a true loop and fail to see that you still need to use your ears (using your ears and a bit of math will allow you to work out things software can't do such as find the tempo of acapellas.

Once you know how to calculate sample lengths you have an advantage over people who rely on guess work or beat detection software.

95 is how many Beats Per Minute
4 is how many Beats in 1 bar
95 divided by 4 = 23.75
60 is how many seconds in a minute, so 60 divided by 23.75 = 2.526

so 1 bar of music at 95 BPM will be 2.526 seconds long.
 
i had the exact same question.. thanks for answering. but could you explain that a bit more on how to do it? thanks.

Is it possible to, when editing in the 2000xl and resampling into the S950, to midi it so it will start to record when the sound starts and ends when the sound ends?
 
why is it people are so scared to chop a sample without a graphic wave form. It seriously is not hard at all. You simply rely a lot more on your ears

Doing a MIDI sample dump (SDS) is the preferred method for sending externally edited samples to the S950. What I would do if I wanted to use this method is sample into the S950 then send the sample via MIDI to the wave editor on my Atari, chop it up and send it back via MIDI.

I don't usually muck about with SDS or wave editors unless I am working with really small loops and I mean like granular small, because I can do things quicker in the box and the results of keeping things in the machine are usually better.

If you want to do waveform editing you need to buy an ASR-10

ummmmm..... Im not sure who told you that the asr10 does waveform editing but it does't lol. it edits samples by samples the same way it does on the mpc 60 and s950
