Ableton Forum

hi there! i have a question about the akai mpc 1000. how many audiotrack can i play at one ? how long can the played back audio tracks be? is there a limitation? are the samples then streamed from the 128mb internal flash? or can they directely be streamed from cf-card or harddrive?
and at least: is the volume of the different audiotracks cotrollable via midi? best wishes!

polifony is 32 notes, meaning 16 stereo, if i'm not wrong.
you stream samples from the ram, but there is a way, that i never tried to use it as a hd recorder, in this case you stream from the flash or your internal hd,
the time limit is the size of your hd or flash card.

ah, ok,great! when ican stream from cf-card or harddrive, that would be perfect for me. i only need 8 stereo tracks. that shpould work
thanks!

as far as i got it you can only stream at least 128mb of audio,even with a harddisk built in. crazy, why do all those guys install this less ram?

because they are used to doing allot with only 32megs

what a crap

...you just don't get it, fieldy...

Reducing a mpc to an audiotrackstreamer and complaining about the ram is the most stupid thing i've ever heard....you got no clue what these machines supposed to do....

Go and get yourself a zoom multitracker....you won't miss a thing....

yeah i got that. but for live purposes i need a machine being able to playback 4-8 loops, because i don`t come out with the 8 tracks in the octatrack. a second ot would be a choice also a zoom r8 recorder. problem at the zoom: i can`t sync it via midi

.....
hmmmm, well, if so....i heard there is a sofware which can do that....it's called live....and let me have a look, ah, yeah, got it..the company is called ableton...
