My Macbook took a 💩. In the meantime, I have been going back in time trying to recreate that dawless setup from years ago. Got an MPC One by chance and realized I could use it as the main brain. My biggest hold up is recording and making synth parts work inside MPC One while syncing and sequencing other machines. This helps A LOT. Looper is big plus. Thanks 👏🏽

Nice one. Will rewatch more carefully as I follow along on my MPC. I like the randomization feature as it allows to keep a tight grid (and let one use note repeat/arp nicely) and a loose feel. Thanks for your content, always interesting and coming from a genuine user.

Only problem with the sampler is it's not sync'd to the sequencer. Honestly, I have no idea why Akai has left this ability out for so long.

I've done this in the past and while the result is usable, it's definitely not the same. For one, voice stealing has a particular sound with some synths. You also miss out on modulation routings that effect all voices through a patch being played. The biggest thing for me is tweaking a synth while it's being recorded, which is another thing you miss with pure multi-samples. The multi-samples also take up more space in memory (if you're being meticulous) and can take several minutes to create. When I'm producing I'm going from idea to idea as fast as possible. So while I appreciate the multi-sample ability of the MPC and have used it many times in the past, I don't see it replacing my actual synths I record.

Hey Tefty, will this method change with the new 3 OS? I’m going to use my Fantom 8 on zone 1 only to record the ACB synths and sequence on the MPC with the MPC drums and try to sync to the MPC. Should I wait until the beta is released to attempt this workflow?

Not well explained though, 4 bars, so after extending with extra2 bars so it records the fade out naturally, how does it now loop when keep it in a 4 bar loop, so that it fades out nicely and starts again, all within 4 gars, you didn't say everything obviously. Anyways
@teftymusictech10 ай бұрын
That's 100% in the video. It's literally after recording the fade out. You either didn't watch the rest of the video or completely missed the knowledge. Rewatch it at the editing the slice points and pay close attention to converting the last 2 measures into a long 3 measure slice. Then convert WITH EVENTS, pull sequence back to 4 bars, and set the new program to POLY. Again, literally all in the video.

Thank you for making this video!... Do you have any advice for the MPC plugin? I have my blofeld connected similarly, except audio out of blofeld is routed to input 1 of the MPC. I get sound in standalone mode and controller mode but when used as a plugin in Ableton, I get no sound.

If using an audio interface with the MPC, it adds a slight delay because theres no delay compensation like in a regular DAW. It's a bit annoying depending on the type of music you're making.

Do you have a idea whats the reason for this . I think it depending on what preset i use. Sorry for my worst english. Peace from Germany ✌️

Im trying to connect three synths to the mpc. BUT, I want to use each synth as its own controller. In otherwords, play each synths keybed and knobs and have the mpc play all three synths back. But I dont want to use midi thru, because i dont want to use one synth as a controller, i want to play each synth and overdub each synth at a time. So mpc i program drums and percussion And each synth i can play and record into the mpc. Then play it all back. Is this possible?

Sounds like it's auto time stretching. If you go into sample edit 'I think' you can see the warp settings. Just turn off the warp button and it should play back at the speed it was recorded at. It also might be in the 'sample' section of the program edit. I don't have the MPC in front of me so I can't confirm where its at, but it's for sure time warping.

Unfortunately I don't have a Force so I can't say, but if the drum programs work the same, then it should. I'm not sure how it records audio though and if you can easily add a measure or two for the ring out.
@ToyKeeper Жыл бұрын
It's a bit easier on the Force because length is per-clip instead of per-pattern... and there isn't a hard partition between patterns (scenes), so it's easy to let old clips keep playing while new clips are launched. In general, workarounds like this drum track technique aren't needed as often on a Force. But it's still available as an option when necessary.

Saludos desde Ciutadella de Menorca, me estoy volviendo loco con mi nuevo MPC ONE y no encuentro la forma de poder lanzar los samples en la secuencia utilizando el modo "PAD Mute" sin tener que esperar a que termine los 16 compases mientras se están reproduciendo, el ejemplo es que en un pad tengo un loop wav de batería que dura 16 compases, si este pad lo tengo muteado desde que reproduzco la secuencia a la hora de activar este loop en medio del compas solo se reproducirá a partir del compas 1, ¿existe alguna forma para que pueda reproducir el sampler a partir del compás que quiera? muchas gracias !!

Is there any way I can play the sampler from the measure I want? thank you so much !!

I switched to grooveboxes (and eventually the MPC) and i jam out multiple times a week, usually make at least one “finished” song a month, often more. To be fair though. The workflow shown in this video is very cumbersome and not how i go about things

It’s a workflow thing. I make mostly all different types of hip hop and it’s amazing for that. When you really start to learn more of its features and get them down the workflow speeds up tremendously.

I agree, in principle, with what you're saying. But personally, I've gotten much more real music done with my MPC one in the five months since I bought it than in the last six years using my very capable and fully loaded DAW. That's because the MPC one is more immediate. You start it up and just go. It feels like I'm picking up my guitar to just play. The DAW requires too much intellectual attention and sucks a lot of the creative energy away. But that's just me. Everyone has a workflow that works for them.

Don’t wanna be in front of windows or Mac 😬 and I think dawless sounds better. Just my opinion. I spent a few years in IT, just for context. I will say I think windows and Mac OS’s are on the whole good and arguably the best software to do what they do. I just can’t stand using them for anything, let alone music, maybe just for the mastering if I was to do that. As long as we are all making music somehow, it’s a win/win for all and I will admit that these different methods are definitely driving innovation today. And I think that’s the point, we all have a choice how to make the music, according to our preferences. Top Of The Pops here I come. Thank god Savile won’t be there 😂
