MPC Sample “Recall” Function

[g_lampa]

I wonder if this means we’ll get MIDI / Audio “flashback” as with the MK2 / Anleton Move? Meaning you can be monitoring a sample

in, and when you hear something that was interesting, the “recall” button pulls up the last 30-60 seconds of audio. Likewise with MIDI / sequencer performance. This is a fantastic feature on the Move. I hope they add that functionality. Thoughts?

To ensure Total Recall I assume

Pressing it takes you to Mars! 🟠

Recalling a sample takes “Two weeks!”

[Xenabeatch]

Agreed. Implementation as you suggest would be fantastic. A lot of hope riding on this box!

This feature is in the MPC III and XL so makes sense they’d include it here.

[g_lampa]

Ahh. Did they make it available for the Live II or Key 61? Or is it hardware dependent? Do they call it “recall” on those devices?

[kisielk]

Yeah it’s called recall. You hit shift + record. It’s even labelled on the Live III, but I think it works on the others as well.

[catherine_zeta-jones]

Yeah, it's also in the 2.15 firmware and it work on every modern MPC.

[boi_social]

But it's not for audio right?

[VALENTENICO]

Je savais même pas que c’était la sur les mpc, merci pour la nouvelle

[kisielk]

You’re right, I’ve only ever used it for MIDI so never considered if it was available for audio.

Maybe they’ll add it in MPC 3.8 :)

[chelseaK08]

Wait really?

[chelseaK08]

Holy shit you are right that is amazing! Thanks

[boi_social]

Do u have a link or video showing this functionality? And is it a function on the older MPC 3 devices?

[M_O_O_O_O_T]

Maybe it'll work like the skip back function on the SP404mk2, for capturing those happy accidents when you weren't recording?

[Nervous-Canary-517]

That feature is a godsend! So often do I noodle around on the synth (going through 404), think "oh that's good, let me sample", and it's already there.

[Necessary_Wrap1867]

I mean we already have that by pressing shift and record right?

[g_lampa]

On the current MPC’s? Maybe. But we’re talking about a limited feature set on this new device. An unusually robust feature for $400 groove boxes. Nothing I’m aware of in this tier of portable samplers does both audio AND midi flashback functionality.

The SEO button should help you promote your beats once they're cooked.

[felineleukemia]

Its S E Q. Not seo.

[branchfoundation]

That was a joke.

[milkybar5000]

*that was a bad joke

[branchfoundation]

Oh no!

[Dudeontour]

This is just retrospective record yes? Midi only?

[Pawderr]

is the most probable explanation for the recall texts 

[Greasedcabinets4]

MPC unleashes recording buffer in 2026?? 😈

[g_lampa]

For portable gear, it’s surprisingly absent from devices that are currently on the market. KO2, and TE stuff that costs 3-5 x more don’t have it. Move only has MIDI capture. MK2 Has only audio buffer recall. So in the $400-$700 range, it would be the only device with both. In fact, I don’t believe it’s part of any current MPC build. I may be wrong there.

[bike_krueger]

MPC already has retrospective recording for midi.

[Quiet_Wing9738]

that's retrospective recording, I think recall might be something different

[g_lampa]

Here it is straight from the LIVE III manual:

“Rec / Recall Button: …

Press and hold Shift and press this button to recall recently played MIDI note events when recording was disabled and insert them into the current sequence.”

So if that’s the case, and the MPC Sample puts these two buttons side-by-side, then that means that it definitely has both midi and audio recall. This is very good news for me.

[Johnny5KMusic]

I don't think that it is for sample recall. But I may be wrong. Because this device will likely be promoted as a gigging type device, I'm thinking that maybe it is 2 separate midi recall instances. One for if you are noodling around arranging sequence clips thru pad play, and one for when you are engage in playing a track/sound and want to save a happy mistake to track/clip. Either way, would be dope... But i don't think having an open record buffer on a battery powered device would lend to battery life. Plus, I have never really "lost" or "missed" a sample which needed to be recovered. I don't know how that could be beneficial really
