MPC Sample Touch OSC Helper

MPC Sample Touch OSC Helper

So you know how if you want to resample a pad with FX or whatever, you have to put it in a sequence and play the sequence to resample it because once you press the pad to sample into you can't press any more pads?

Well, you can get around that if you hook up a MIDI keyboard. Configure resampling, hit Sample Record, hit the pad you want to sample into and then trigger the pad that contains the sample you want to resample via MIDI. Excellent.

So it got me thinking. What would the the simplest way to be able to trigger a pad via MIDI/USB. Mobile phone.

And dismayed by the general lack of simple MIDI apps on Android I figured I'd just build my own in Touch OSC.

Now admittedly, Touch OSC Android is far from free (it's about 20 dollars) but I built exactly the MIDI trigger controller I wanted and it works really well.

I bought a digital album from Bandcamp by an artist called Sakr. He's used some very creative file naming and subsequently, though I can import it into my library with Beet, neither Navidrom (or Plex) will scan it properly. Here's the album as listed with Beet:

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Pl[a]/sti.’c

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Fa/bl[e].’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Cha/[o].’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Sen/_s.’e

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Dis/pl[a]/ce.’d

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Ten/s[i]on.’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Un/d[e]r/bo.’x

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Lan/g[u]a/g.’e

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Ne/rv[o]u.’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Fa[u]l/t.’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Flo/w[e]r.’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - O_n Di/ff[e]/r/enc.’e

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - O_n Se/cr[e]t.’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - An_d A/w[a]k.’e

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Re/s[e]t.’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Pu/ll[i]n.’g

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Un/de/rst[a]/ndin.’g

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Un/s[e]e.’n

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Fe[e]/d/ba_ck.’s

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Un/st[a]bl.’e

Sakr - Ma/t[e]/rial.'s - Cre[a]/tur.’e

Any suggestions on how to rename/re-tag so that's the album is Navidrome friendly?
