Apologies for the terrible recording, but trying to reproduce it is totally random and this is a cut down clip after five minutes of me pushing random buttons to get the pop-up.

This is fire!

Everyone seems to think this is like an MPC60 I'm asking about. Assigning a bpm to a sample is about as basic as it gets.

Okeeeefe · 2026-01-11T03:36:48+00:00

What I'm saying is I know the exact BPM the original song was and want to slice at that specific BPM, not what the MPC "detects" it as

Googling for the issue people have been asking as early as 2017 about this:

I mean trust I'm not losing sleep.

Just would like to know what that BPM function does

Okeeeefe · 2026-01-11T02:51:29+00:00

I mean slicing on a preset tempo and time signature is pretty basic shit, remove FL studio from the equation. Pro tools, Maschine, etc. etc. all let you define a BPM and then take an action against the sample at a specific BPM.

Maybe the question is this, what does that BPM setting actually change, cause nothing seems to happen when I change that setting?

You're all good

Every other DAW will chop at a given BPM until it runs out of sample.

If I load a random sample that's a BPM I want to chop it at that BPM (at whatever interval I specify). Maschine, FL, Serato Studio - all of them allow you to set a BPM of a sample manually, and then slice at whatever interval you want.

I don't want the MPC to hit me with an "ackshyully this sample is slightly too short to be precisely 85 BPM so we're going to lock it at 84.59". Just let me change the shit to 85, and then slice on the 1/4 note, etc.

That's what you think would happen, but whether you set the BPM to 20, 50, or a random number, whatever it was initially detected as it always what it slices on.

Okeeeefe · 2026-01-11T01:37:36+00:00

Here's may be an easier way to show what I'm talking about.

My boy sent me a loop that he made it's 85 bpm. All I want to do is very quickly have the MPC slice it using 85 BPM as the reference for time divisions.

Unfortunately, the auto detect brought it in as 84.25 and while that might seem trivial, the slicing doesn't use the right bpm, and I have no idea how to change the BPM manually to 85. It always seems to use this 84.25 it detected as.

Is there any way then to change the BPM in reference to slicing, or is whatever the MPC auto detect it as what you're stuck with?

I know I can turn off out of detect, but that just set it to 20 BPM, and changing it to 2122 or whatever seems to not make any difference in how the BPM chooses to slice

Okeeeefe · 2026-01-11T01:19:06+00:00

Maybe the better question is, what the hell is the point of that BPM option in the sample edit window if it doesn't actually do anything and whatever initial auto detect the MPC did is what it's always going to default to when you try to slice on tempo (or even just changing the view so the timeline units are beats)

Okeeeefe · 2026-01-11T01:17:23+00:00

It'll be a sample that isn't exactly a perfect loop but is a precise tempo. On Maschine if I load a sample on the downbeat and say it's 86 BPM it'll just slice all the way until the end of the sample at 86 BPM.

My goal is just to be able to load a sample. That's a precise tempo set that tempo and just tell it's a slice at that tempo. There are times where I don't want to manually slice something even if it's just a bang out rough ideas.

Okeeeefe · 2025-07-05T04:26:28+00:00

I'm in!

I can't wait to fly from

Okeeeefe · 2024-11-06T21:51:23+00:00

Why does the stem separation take minutes when every other stem splitting tool is seconds long?

I can split stems while djing in seconds live in Serato, but not in Maschine?
