Akai has released version 1.8 of the MPC software and say that they have vastly improved the sample capture, edit and slicing experience. They say that things like the different forms on non-destructive chop, the Live Chop feature, the LiveLooper are treading new ground for MPC, going beyond where it has been before. We haven't seen the official press release yet, but above is a video of 1.8 in action from Needlz & Donut, while below SoundsForSamplers.com offer a tutorial on the Lazy Chop method,using both Live Chopping and Scrub - Creating your chops in real time while the music you are sampling is playing.
