is it possible to trigger pads while in the sampling screen?

you the man, sharing knowledge! 🙌

Cheers for watching! Always love learning new stuff and sharing it through the vids!

planning on getting one of these soon so ty

[@spvidz]

Dope man! And no problem, got loads more coming hopefully

[@BoeSharp]

I don't even own a majority of this equipment but I still watch. All I got hardware wise is a 202. I want all this stuff you make videos on 🤷😂

[@spvidz]

haha thats cool man, appreciate the support! I will try and do some more 202 videos soon actually I've not used it for a while!

[@Simair78]

Nice! Looking forward to the rest of this serie!!

[@spvidz]

Thanks for watching man! Will be dropping the next one tomorrow or next week

[@GODInTheWax444]

Hey bro, you should do some more videos on the MPC 2000XL. I was thinking about picking one up once I find one at a reasonable price. The XL looks pretty sick, but I haven't seen a lot on it on KZbin. I'd like to see the waveforms screens and all that. Just a friendly suggestion! L8r bro!

[@spvidz]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try and do some more videos in the future, but I don't really use this unit that much tbh

[@TheOutliersOfficial]

Glad you're doing these, gonna cop one soon, cheers!

[@spvidz]

Dope man, its a beast of a machine! Looking forward to working my way through these and learning more about it! Cheers for watching

[@chibukun]

Yes my fellow hooligan! Had my 2kxl going last night with the sp an all, gonna get a new vid up soon. Hope u good ✌️

[@spvidz]

Nice man! I've not done too much beat making on it yet! Levelling up my knowledge first. Thanks for watching

[@Ross_Antonich]

great video man as always--can’t wait for the next ones

[@spvidz]

Thanks man appreciate you watching all the vids lately!

[@Ross_Antonich]

@@spvidz for sure man! Your videos are super well thought out and helpful! I’m definitely a forever subscriber!!

[@puzzleneptune]

Hello. I'm soo late to this series. I'm thinking of buying an XL. But, I heard right? I know they got a mix bus compressor, is that true? Can you make a video about that or about the XL compressor?

[@spvidz]

My XL doesn't have any built in FX. Its an optional extra. I recommend finding one that has the FX module, or looking at picking one up

[@puzzleneptune]

@@spvidz Ok, thanks for the input.

[@holmzey4]

Are MPC 2000’s hard to use? What other equipment would I need if I wanted to get one?

[@spvidz]

slightly more tricky than an SP I'd say but any sampler is going to come with a learning curve. The only issue with the 2000xl is there isn't much info on it online, you would have to do a lot of digging through the manual - Pretty sure you can read it online. I will be doing more tutorials on it soon too

[@lascimmiabeat]

Cheers for watching!

[@Birthrightproduction]

Just to let you know that the digital outputs are SPDIFF they look like RCA/Phone cables, but you need to buy the digital type cable. The out puts on these are dead quiet like the digital TOSLINK/LIGHTPIPE and well worth the investment. I use it to sample clean signal coming in as I have a Motu 828 mk2 that has SPDIFF input and output.

[@spvidz]

Thanks for that info man. Sounds promising! I’ll have a look into it 👍

[@culturemax234]

Do you have a video where you compare the differences con's & pros between the 404 & MPC 200xl ? I'm thinking about getting one but I want to know why I should get one if I already have a SP 404 can you help ?

[@spvidz]

They work well together and the MPC is much better for chopping and has a better sequencer but the workflow is also quite slow and mine doesn't have any built in FX so its hard to make my beats gel. I will do a comparison video at some point as thats a good idea!

[@culturemax234]

@@spvidz thanks 😊

[@r.fernandes9526]

I trying to stop the duration of the sample once assigned...not trimming sample but stopping the duration

[@djempathie.9889]

Am using the vertual mpc can you tell how to record samples using my pc? Do you have a tutorial on using a pc to sample?

[@spvidz]

I don’t do anything like that sorry. I’m mainly hardware based apart from Ableton occasionally

[@88keys74]

Would loading .wav files from a SCSI external cd drive still work as analog?

[@spvidz]

Dont know the answer to that one sorry!

[@88keys74]

@@spvidz can you breakdown the difference between using an -External SCSI CD Drive(Not Zip Disk) -CF SD Drive -USB Floppy Emulator Driver Which one is the best option? I just bought my MPC and it came with 2 external SCSI CD drives but I’m still trying to figure out what will be best in the long run, workflow wise. Any input is much appreciated! Thanks!

[@spvidz]

I've heard that SCSI can be very temperamental and I've heard of people losing a LOT of beats because they randomly corrupt or die. I would say the SD drive as its the most futureproof/modern now

[@spvidz]

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@alexjeens479]

would you recommend this sampler for my first mpc? also what do you record the tracks too cause it loses ad conversion when imported into a daw and lastly could i pair a mpc2000 thrust an sp303?

[@spvidz]

not sure for a first one because its very slow and quite a steep learning curve as well, it depends how comfortable you are with working with something that's going to be a bit of a challenge. I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by 'loses ad conversion'. Pairing wise you can connect the audio of one to another with just a cable. I don't know about the midi side of things because I've never messed with midi stuff really

[@alexjeens479]

@@spvidz i was thinking of just making a beat on the 404 then running it thru the 303 chain if i did that could i get a wireless recorder like you do and get the beat to be recorded that way? would it record the 404 beat and th 303 efex if i linked them together. also would it work with a mixer record thru that?

[@spvidz]

yes you can chain with the 303 because you can add FX on the signal coming into the unit which is nice. It would work fine to then have a wireless recorder at the end too yeah, or like I do go into your computer and record there instead. You would need an audio interface to record into your computer though

[@alexjeens479]

@@spvidz what recorder would you reccomend? and will it retain the auio quaity as good as an interface?

[@spvidz]

Zoom H5 works great for me and good for if you are on the move - amzn.to/39d8Xkf my first choice is always to record into my computer though as I do all my beat making at home

[@dcomposed1336]

That copyright never happened (I'm hilarious)

[@trifource]

the program feature and pad assign was very tricky for me at first but i’ve finally gotten the hang of it now just from toying with it. would definitely be a good for other beginner mpc users!

[@spvidz]

Nice one man yeah I'll definitely get to those bits in the future. The main issue I have with this device is Drum 1, 2, 3 and 4. Not really sure what they do yet or how to use them properly. Still working that bit out. Pretty much understand everything else though as I've transferred my knowledge from the 2500
