How to Connect & Use the MPC Live 2 with the Roland FA-06

[@TannerByTheSea]

I gave you that thumbs up, brother! I love when you do these videos -because I have that Fantom 07.. you know how it is..I get caught up in every other thing. it’s nice to watch these little warm-up videos Dude it’s motivating. 👍🏼

[@BoloDaProducer]

Thanks!

@@BoloDaProducer Today is my 46th Birthday Bolo! AND my 2 yr wedding anniversary… I wanted to make sure I remembered 😜 Mama says 3 strikes you’re out~

[@bryantwalley]

Glad to see you still got your FA-06 1:35 Bolo. It's still the best $ value out there. Nothing beats the D-beam.

[@BoloDaProducer]

True!

[@SOULPHUR]

Thank you for showing navigational lessons the way you did was very helpful

[@Mill-on-da-track]

Glad to see the good old FA 06 back in action I still want one of those

[@bryantwalley]

It's still the best one out there. I can't imagine downgrading to anything else.

[@PCCity-fl6kv]

@@bryantwalley Is it better than the Fantom 06?

[@bryantwalley]

@@PCCity-fl6kv The FA-06 has a D-Beam controller. I use it every time I turn the keyboard on. The Fantom 06 doesn't. If you want to use the ZEN engine in the keyboard you may enjoy the Fantom 06. I won't be downgrading to anything else in the Roland lineup at this time. There is a reason that Roland still has the FA lineup still in the lineup after all these years. But everyone has their thing and at the end of the day your tools have to be good for you.

Love the fa 06 it’s my first and only synth so far

You Saved My Life Bolo…You should run for president 😂

[@salotraxanova5283]

Good looking Bolo,,,shol been looking for one of these videos

[@maximusrecord8672]

Very good video Thanks brother We really appreciate learning from you

[@BoloDaProducer]

Thanks for watching!

[@tee2008j]

The Bishop is in session all praises due to the video for the lesson 🙏

[@THA-REAPER]

Very well explained, perfect step by step. Same exact process on the Fantom/0 too. Only difference is how you navigate and studio set being called scene now. I use this workflow too, but I been using the mpc software lately. I switch the audio drivers just for I/O access between the interface, Fantom, MPC X, Force…I have sound racks and synths going into each of those, because they all allow me to sequence. The interface is just the bridge where it all gets across…should do it all with a patch bay, but that cable rats nest is serious lol. It’s been print audio and move on for me.

[@BoloDaProducer]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@marcjones8646]

thanks for the tuttorial. I have a question, how do you set it up to do the opposite. Where as you ca play the mpc sounds using your keyboard?

[@jeanoriol8529]

Happy Holidays Brother Great Video! Do you have a similar video with the Modx and MPC X ?

[@BoloDaProducer]

Took my modx back but Basically the same setup.

[@DiSCOKiNGZ]

Hi Bolo, quick question. I have an FA-07 and an MPCX. Will this work in exactly the same way with these units? 🎹💻 🖤

[@MusicWizard85]

Yes

[@HoseaHerb]

Bishop Bolo can you do that same set up with the mpcx and the mpc key 61?

[@BoloDaProducer]

Haven’t tried it yet

[@STMENTNETWORK]

Is there anyway you can save the setup as a template so u don’t have to do this every time?

[@BoloDaProducer]

Yes you can save setup template in MPC

[@bjornkreuze7423]

Wich set up do u prefer. Mpc with fantom 0 or with nautilus ? And wich workstation do u prefer of the last 2 named ? Thanks for the vid !

[@Anhdeptrai69]

This video is very helpful and answered my question. Turn out we CAN'T connect via usb cable

[@0072gldnfngr]

Yea. I tried going up to that new line but I like this one better.

[@BoloDaProducer]

🔥🔥

[@antagonistODB]

Thanks Bolo, I've had the cheaper version fantom-06 for a few weeks using it with my MPC ONE. The only problem that I'm having that the fantom-06 is in song mode. I have the split option but I don't see the dual option. Kind of messes up my workflow because I can't use all the tracks. Do you or anyone have any pointers? The fantom-06 seems to have different settings like scenes. I just don't know what would be the alternative to arm split/dual on the FA-06. I have split no dual. I have the MSB/LSB down and the list of sound. Appreciate the videos!! You've been the best teacher by far.

[@BoloDaProducer]

Open an empty scene then select zone view

[@BoloDaProducer]

I’ll do view soon

[@EllzTheEnginEar]

I been having the same issue trying to connect my minifreak to my maschine mk3. Ima try these steps. Usually this is a universal setup for midi.

[@BoloDaProducer]

Only think it micro freak can only play one sound at a time (no multiple parts)

[@bigvizzyadot]

@BoloDaProducer can you use MPC One as a controller with Reason 12?

[@BoloDaProducer]

You can

[@bigvizzyadot]

@@BoloDaProducer Could that be a video for the Reason users? I'm been trying to make that play for a minute!

[@donkeynutz73]

I’m having problems with getting the mpc to mix down my fa06 sounds. When I make a mix down they’re not appearing after I explode the tracks any advice big dog?

[@ButchKannon]

I have a Roland Go Keys 5 and I'm able to do audio over USB on my mpc one plus in standalone. The only catch is I have to select the keyboard as the audio device. I would think that Roland's high end keyboards would do the same. Just thought I'd share that you can do audio over usb with the MPC as long as the device has it's own audio interface.

[@ItsReezun]

Great timing just got the fantom 06 today. And I'm sure it is probably a similar setup

[@BoloDaProducer]

Yes it is.. just make sure you initialize the scene b4 selecting tracks

[@ItsReezun]

@@BoloDaProducer thanks for the update

[@ray_maestro_]

Bolo do you have Ableton? I have Ableton and I want to buy an MPC and use them together. I want to know if MPC can control a Drum Rack on Ableton allowing me to draw midi notes in ableton drum rack and have the playback of those notes trigger the sound from my chopped up drum samples in my MPC. I think you have to use MPC as an external instrument in the ableton drum rack. Other KZbin videos don't go into detail. Other videos show the MPC as simply a controller. Or they show the MPC tracks being routed out to Ableton audio tracks. I want to use Ableton to draw the sequence and trigger the pads of a drum program in the MPC.

[@BoloDaProducer]

Haven’t tried it

[@Dakidddidit]

I wonder if that can be done fantom x7 via usb?

[@BoloDaProducer]

Yes

[@Dakidddidit]

Thanks Bolo!

[@roderickalbus5818]

I’ve a Fantom 08 been following your tutorial. However, I’d like to layer 3 sounds for my piano to record into the MPC. I went to Level/Pan and directed all 3 layers/zones to Rx Ch 1. The issue that I have now is that I can’t adjust the volume level per zone individually… As soon as I adjust the level in zone 1, zone 2 and 3 are automatically adjusted to the same level. Anyone who can help here? 🙏🏻

[@lassel1644]

I dont get why you are connecting the audio to the Mpc from fa? since you are using Midi Only. is it only just to spare channels on the mixer using the same input for both instruments?

[@XayBeatz]

No disrespect towards your time at all Bolo, but I have been using my Fantom combined to my MPC live 2 as a midi program, and I want the audio saved, but I don’t play the keys.. what do I do? This would help me a lot, please and thank you 🙏🏾

[@TheIbemuntu]

You should be able to buy both live II and fa06 on monthly payments. For sure if you have history with them. If not start small and build a relationship with them. They are cool.❤

[@BoloDaProducer]

You can but not with the “no credit or background check”

[@TheIbemuntu]

@@BoloDaProducer I bought my MPC X without one. It was Jan. 24, 2020. A lot have changed since then though. My last purchase was the isovox. Still making payments 😅 Is there a way for me to contact you formally. I have a plethora of questions for you.

[@uglymob591]

MSB AND LSB Seem like a lot of work and I don’t really understand it 🤦🏾🤣
