Setting the BPM of a resampled recording?

[Lindsay]

Hello People,

Does anyone here know whether the BPM can be set for a recording prior to resampling?

To clarify, I wish to sample multiple hits as a loop and sync that with another recording on another pad with a bpm of 105. Is this possible with the 404?


Cheers

yeah you can do that. Sometimes the resampled bit might list a certain BPM, but it's not really that BPM, so you have to tweak it a bit to fit whatever you want it to sync up with.

Read page 25 of the sp-404 manual.

Thanks for the replies, however, this does not answer what I am attempting to do. I understand how to set the BPM prior to recording but I am wishes to set the BPM for resampled recordings. So let's say I wish to resample a keyboard riff which has a recorded bpm of 100. When I resample with an effect the resampled pad indicates that the bpm is 96. To remedy this I'm hoping there is a method I can use to resample at 100. Is this clear?

Again, thanks for the tips.

In that case, you can tweak it to sync with whatever else you're playing - the BPM counter isn't always perfect. Just because it says 96 doesn't mean it's not 100. Or, if it's off, adjust the resampled recording to 100, or what sounds like 100. It's not something automatic unfortunately.

Ok, thanks Andrew, that answers my question.

Frustrating that the BPM cannot be set prior to resampling, surely this feature would not be difficult to implement as it is available prior to standard recording.
