Timing problem during pattern recording

[mats77]

Okay, so here we go again...

I have a sample with two measures length. I want to record a four measure pattern, where I use this pattern twice, like this:

1.1-2.4 Sample
3.1-4.4 Sample

I press the sample pad at 1.1 during pattern recording, so the sample gets record at 1.1-2.4. Works fine.

Then I want to start a new recording of this very same sample (stored in the same pad) at 3.1. Seems to be a problem here with the timing, since this pad is already playing and you have to press it a milli milli milli second right after it lights off, which is basically impossible. If you press too early, nothing happens. If you press too late, you get a gap of silence between 2.4 and 3.1.

You see what I mean? Is it just me, or is it suppose to be this hard?!!

Thanks in advance!

mess with the start point of the sample, moving it forward and see if that helps at all, might have to add some back in at the end, maybe change the bpm of the pattern by one or two beats, and possibly mess with resampling the sound to another pad and going back and forth between the two so they overlap just a little, many many tricks, dependent on the sample your using and what your trying to achieve with it

Yes, I was thinking of having the same sample stored in two different pads. Sounds like an easy way.

Thanks a lot for your tips!

Doesn't the sample just start again from the beginning if you hit the button a second time regardless if it's already playing!? If you don't have it on loop it shouldn't behave that way if I'm not completely wrong here

you could slow the samples bpm down a notch, or turn the pattern sequencer bpm up... or add delay to the samples so they reach further.
