Sampling & Chopping Vinyl Records: Hip-Hop & Lofi Beatmaking

1. Transient-Based Sample Chopping

Slice vintage soul horn and vocal phrases precisely on melodic transient peaks, assigning each slice to MIDI drum pads for live finger drumming!

2. Pitch Shifting & Filtering Samples

Pitch-shift sampled chops down 2 to 3 semitones and apply a 1kHz low-pass filter to give beats a warm, vintage hip-hop texture.
