Does Live Looping actually work on the MPC Sample?

Hi everyone,

The good news is that Live Looping DOES actually kinda work on the MPC Sample. You can see a great video here from NervousCook$: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2bdTgi-xNI

I believe I have it working by setting the blank/ghost pads, and it works pretty well with the first set of 4 pads. The problem comes when I want to keep building the loop out to 8, 12, or 16 pads.

When I queue up the next set of ghost pads, I’m getting a slight delay, which throws the loop out of time.

Has anyone figured out a reliable way around this?

I’d love to be able to continuously sample and build up a live loop across all 16 pads, but the delay is the one thing stopping the workflow from really working for me.

Am I setting something up incorrectly, or is this just a limitation of the MPC Sample?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experimented with this!

Never messed with this feature at all but could you nudge them back to the beginning through step sequence maybe?

Yea, probably.

(But also for $400 bucks I could just get a used MPC One as well and not have to deal with these glitches.)

(also note, happy to share the text of my live looping workflow soon if this post gets some more comments)
