DJ SHADOW – “ORGAN DONOR” + 27.2% (140 BPM)ĭ- Traktor Pro HiQ/Fast CPU settings Į- Serato Itch (same algorithm as Serato Scratch) DJ SHADOW – “ORGAN DONOR” – 27. Listen for yourself to decide who’s the king.

The following tests were all recorded with key-lock turned on. We also included a couple of examples of Torq’s Standard time-stretching mode, to show the difference between its better Elastique algorithm. We chose DJ Shadow’s “Organ Donor,” which at its 110 BPM original tempo, could conceivably be sped well up or slow way down during a set. Only Serato currently does not use an Elastique algorithm because Serato makes it own respected Pitch ‘n’ Time technology for time-stretching/compression.ĭJ SHADOW – “ORGAN DONOR” ORIGINAL (110 BPM)
#MPC 2 WARP STRETCH UPDATE#
Traktor Pro has used Elastique for a while, but it’s recent 1.2 update enhanced the quality of it’s HiQ mode from the Elastique Efficient algorithm that was in Traktor 1.1. Also this year, Ableton Live 8 added a Complex Pro Warp mode, which uses Zplane’s Elastique Pro. The Torq 1.5 update earlier this year added the “Elastique Transient” option, selectable from its Timestretching Quality preferences. Most of these programs use versions of Zplane’s highly-regarded Elastique time-stretching/compression algorithm. How much of a difference is there? We ran some tests and let you hear and decide for yourself after the jump. Our article comparing the time-stretching/compression algorithms in M-Audio Torq 1.5 and Ableton Live 8 has been updated to include Trackor Pro and Serato Itch (which includes the same algorithm as Scratch Live). In this MPC Live 2/MPC One Tutorial, I break down the different ways to use warp/real-time timestretch to build perfect loops that match the tempo and key you. It's like the midi settings aren't saving with the program or track across sequences.You asked we listened. Any good ideas or obvious solutions I'm not aware of here?Īm I missing something here? That's an awful lot to have to set up just to be ready to begin to make a sequence. It's like the midi settings aren't saving with the program or track across sequences. So far so good.īut then I went to the next sequence, to create a new one using those same tracks and controllers, and it seems I have to manually set all of those midi settings a second time for this second sequence.Īm I missing something here? That's an awful lot to have to set up just to be ready to begin to make a sequence. I set up all my tracks within one sequence, so each controller is only controlling the track I want, and so each track is only receiving notes from the correct controller.
#MPC 2 WARP STRETCH SOFTWARE#
One controlling a keygroup program, and the other a midi track receiving midi from a keyboard and sending midi to a hardware synth. MPC Software 2.0 is a cutting-edge production suite combining 128-track sequencing capability, real-time time stretching, clip-launch functionality, advanced MIDI editing capability, VST compatibility in controller mode, operation as a standalone application on Mac & PC, advanced sampling & audio editing/recording functionality, seamless DAW integration, a redesigned GUI, Ableton Link. I've got two controllers plugged in, each sending midi to their own dedicated track. Akai, thank you and seriously, well done! Didn't even know about the Pro Ten algorithm, but I just tried it out and I have to say it sounds exactly ten times better than the default. For a live situation (as in a gig) this could really be a big, big difference. So what's important to you makes the One or Live II more suitable for your workflow, I'd say the Live is more focused for performance and the One a bit more for producing.Ī (probably) sometimes overlooked difference between the Live II and the One: All buttons on the Live (I and II) are backlit with their primary function readable (as the text itself is illuminated), while on the One the text is written above and below the (single color illuminated) buttons.

The other secondary functions which are not on the Live II are "prefs", "pad mix" and "pad mute" while "browse", "sample edit" and "sampler" do exist as secondary functions. Those four more buttons on the MPC One have these primary and secondary functions: any thoughts?Well, the MPC One has 4 more buttons as the MPC Live II.
