Again, I went looking for one thing and learned something else Valuable, Thanks again

[@urbancow6510]

I think its so cool that you can layer sounds when creating these keygroup programs, basically unlimited possibilities for creating new sounds.

[@LiftedNoise]

Are you on 2.8 where you can send midi from 1 track to trigger another? Dope stuff! Unlimited layers pretty much endless like you said.

[@urbancow6510]

@@LiftedNoise 2.8 is definitely worth the upgrade.

preciate it bro!

[@kanykourouma3350]

Thanks

[@Joebabylon]

Can you briefly explain when to use this key group method and when to use pad perform? For example, this method for bass lines and pad perform for chords?

[@LiftedNoise]

Pad perform can be used for keygroups. Pad perform can also be used to play chords or scales. So you can do bass lines as well.

[@Joebabylon]

@@LiftedNoise cool thanks 🙏🏼

[@Schemez-16vhiphopbeatz]

Only had mine two days iv been using 16 levels to play samples chromaticly

[@Mike-yn8fx]

How to do this in mpc beats? Super frustrating not knowing the terminology to even ask the right question. This video is the closest I have gotten. Thanks

[@LiftedNoise]

@Mike-yn8fx I'm really not exactly sure but I would start by changing your track type to a keygroup track. You may be able to just drag a file onto the pads in the software or try loading a file from the browser. I don't ever use the software, so that's about all the help I can be.

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

Sample release is set to ring out but when I switch to keygroup it cuts off when I release the pad

[@LiftedNoise]

By default drum programs are set to one shot by default and keygroups are set to note on by default. You can change this in the master/global tab, depending on what update you have installed.

[@daveyleeriot]

Very useful...But how do I set the scale for my pads to play only the correct notes of my key signature??

[@LiftedNoise]

In pad perform you can select your scale and above that in the top left corner select CHROMATIC it's above CHORDS and PROGRESSIONS. when CHROMATIC is selected you will notice that the pads that are highlighted yellow and red will be the notes in your scale. As long as you don't play the pads that are not lit you should be good! 🙏 thanks for stopping in ✌️

[@daveyleeriot]

@@LiftedNoise Salute for the assistance bro. You earned a new sub 🤘👊

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Once you make the key group How do you save it to be able to bring back later on a different song?

[@LiftedNoise]

Press the pencil icon on the program section on the home screen them their will be an option to save program, when you press this it will take You to the browser, navigate and find a good place to save it, you can create a new folder from here, maybe name it keygroups, you can name the program from here and press save as. When you want to load, navigate to where you saved the program and press load. Hope that's clear enough. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@tcibeatrecords4707]

Question? Can you play all the notes from an external midi keyboard?

[@LiftedNoise]

Yes you can!

[@pkizzlebeats]

Awesome how do you make chords from there?

[@LiftedNoise]

Use Pad Perform. It has a scale and chord mode built in.

[@Madmohawkfilms]

Do you think the new Automatic Keygroup in 2.11.X sufficient for analog Instruments and Synths or still AutoSampling 4-6 notes per octave and 4 velocity layers?

[@SuperMikefun]

Is it possible to hook a midi keyboard up to this and play the samples that way

[@LiftedNoise]

Definitely. A USB keyboard will trigger the samples.

[@Dadazoid]

Hi there, thanks for the videos. I have a question. I have my sample laid out across the keyboard now, however instead of it just pitching up or down, it changes the pitch and speeds up or slows down the sample depending on if I go higher or lower. It's super weird. Any ideas?

[@LiftedNoise]

Yea that's just the nature of how it works. Pitching will speed up your sample. It is better to create a multisample so the pitching and speeding up of samples isn't as noticeable

[@jcostello7447]

Thanks....................

[@LiftedNoise]

Haha, for sure...................

[@omenjh]

What if you got a bunch of samples already multisampled on the Blackbox you want to load them into the MPC. Is there a way to bulk load them along with the MPC knowing how to place the samples?

[@LiftedNoise]

No. I wish!! As far as I know you have to assign them individually. You also have to input the exact key within the sample edit, by default the MPC assumes all samples are middle C or C3. Maybe there is software out there that can do it automatically for you but not in the MPC. Are these samples programmed to be playable in the black box? The MPC does have an auto sample function which triggers and records notes connected through MIDI. this would likely be your best method.

[@SuperMikefun]

Is it possible to change the pitch and speed at the same time so that the sample sounds like slowing down a record player? I think the old mpc's could do this but im not sure with the mpc one

[@LiftedNoise]

Someone asked me about a tape stop effect, maybe that's what your looking for..? It can be done with the xyfx. I may just work on a video soon.

[@SuperMikefun]

@@LiftedNoise im not sure its a stop effect, it's like when you turn the varispeed knob on a record player or tape machine and the audio slows down and is pitched lower because of the physical medium. The sp 202 does this for it's pitch effect.

[@Mista808]

I'm going to be in FL Studio for the next 38 years sampling C notes from all my favorite VST's to bring them in to my MPC X. I really hate the fact that I can't use Nexus, Kontakt, Omnisphere 2 etc. on my MPC X without using the stupid DAW! I'll guess I'll just have to fork over a few hundred dollars on some of the VST's that Akai has to offer such as Fabric XL.

[@LiftedNoise]

Or you can auto sample multisamples of kontakt or any virtual instrument.

[@LiftedNoise]

Another option could be to MIDI up your Virtual instruments, use your computer as a sound module and sequence it with the MPC in Standalone kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJXEk36ma6yBjLMsi=IFUO8vzRm3l0S5WM

[@Mista808]

I'm hoping this is exactly what I've been looking for! I've always wanted to just use my MPC X in standalone mode but find a way to use my VST's coming out of my computer from FL Studio! I'm just dumb as fuck when it comes to INS/OUTS and understanding how to route hardware! I've been a software nerd for 20+ years and lately I've been starting to dabble into the hardware side of creating music and it's got me battling demons I never knew existed! @@LiftedNoise

[@Mista808]

Can you explain more what you mean? I essentially want to create my own VST instruments on my X by sampling some notes from instruments I love in FL Studio. However, when I just sample ONE 2 second C-Note of an instrument in FL Studio, then load that note into a keygroup on my X. It sounds trashy! If I'm just pressing a single note it sounds fine, but as soon as I attempt to play chords, or anything more than one note at a time, it sounds super low budget! I know that there's a way to create your own VST's from sampling notes from our favorite DAW, but I can't find a video on the longer better method of doing this. Help? @@LiftedNoise

[@LiftedNoise]

@SuperHonkyPodcast did you watch the previous video I linked to you? That's how you will sequence them but also if you wanted to make keygroups for standalone you still need to set it up that way. After you have successfully connected your MPC to your computer this way you'll use the auto sampler in the MPC which will trigger the notes in your VST and sample them and also create a keygroup automatically. I made this video years ago that shows the process a bit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ2zkGOHZs5qnbMsi=yG2iWrzvRgecA1Qa

[@giuliogastaldello]

Is it possibile to take a sample and then chromatically play it, but in a certain scale? Thanks

[@LiftedNoise]

Yes. In pad perform mode you can select scale and key. The pads that are in that scale will light up.

[@giuliogastaldello]

@@LiftedNoise yes I know that function but does it work even with sample that I’ve made myself or only with stock plug-in?

[@LiftedNoise]

@@giuliogastaldello yes. The sample needs to be put in a keygroup program. Pad perform does not work for drum programs.

[@giuliogastaldello]

@@LiftedNoise so i take a sample, tell the key of it, and then the mpc does the rest?

[@Diego-kb7mf]

How many seconds of the sample for it to work?

[@LiftedNoise]

Well it should work no matter how many seconds, will it sound good is another question. You're original sample as it's pitched up will speed up and shorten it's length as it's pitched down on the keyboard it will extend the length of the sample.

[@Diego-kb7mf]

Thank you Lifted Noise. You saved me a headache lol. Let's go Lift some Noise 🎹

[@cheodelpino581]

How would one know to put it as d2 or d3 or d1 ? I’m not too familiar with major or minor

[@LiftedNoise]

The number after the key letter just describes what position it will land on a keyboard. It will still be in key.

[@cheodelpino581]

@@LiftedNoise don’t get it lol

[@LiftedNoise]

@cheo delpino this has nothing to do with major or minor scales. If it's a d1 or d2 or d3 it's all the same pitch just higher or lower on the keyboard

[@cheodelpino581]

@@LiftedNoise so let’s say the sample is on G note so I put it on G3? And it won’t matter as long as it’s both in G?

[@jeremybenson5782]

How did he know that pad was a D2?

[@LiftedNoise]

it was a stock sound so if you look at the sample name it was already labeled D2. If the sample isn't labeled I will use a korg chromatic tuner and plug the mpc out into it to read what pitch it is. www.zzounds.com/a--3946631/item--KORCA50

Can't read your screen. Unclear instructions. Write a script or something if you're going to try to make an informational video

[@LiftedNoise]

My knowledge has always been more in use of the MPC and not video making and lighting. I decided to learn to make videos in the process of doing rather than waiting til I knew everything. "Analysis paralysis" is a real thing that i consciously try to avoid as much as possible. I think that I have improved at that but still know its not the greatest.
