Getting Started with MPC Live 2 | the Step Sequencer

[@Bricks_shakur]

I can’t front that next update we better get some kind of a linear arrangement view and step sequence that needs a ton of work but this is very helpful

[@TimClark5151]

Keep up the good work. Your good at the MPC

[@JaeFreshmen]

thanks for watching bro i appreciate the feedback

[@newday8545]

The step sequencer is unique and only limited to your imagination. A slept on feauture sometimes i think to do with the fact alot of users mainly use the MPC for Hiphop. For anyone experimenting with harsher music like Noise, Industrial, experimental/electronic this feature rules. You can literally improvise a whole live set with just the step sequencer/ track window/step presets/X,Y axis/and switching up drum programs to transition songs. Then sync a hardware synth to the step sequencer etc..

It's been a while since I abandoned MPC... thanks to you I've found the motivation again, thank you

[@JaeFreshmen]

Best step sequencer tutorial! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you for your effort!

[@dodgecitystudios3719]

One of the more mystifying features made easy. ✅

[@JaeFreshmen]

thanks bro

[@Dikarika]

This really helped me understand that the sequencer can be another tool to get that beat from my head into the mpc. I usually avoided it because I didn't understand the workflow.

thanks for watching bro

[@Schemez-16vhiphopbeatz]

I love step sequencers they can build some interesting patterns especially with drums and 303 type synth patterns

[@Schemez-16vhiphopbeatz]

Track list is a great step sequencer too for melodic stuff its a more hidden feat but works amazing for 303 type stuff

[@peterhaerens3014]

This is very useful. But for melodies, the list edit is very practical too. In combination with record it advances note per note to the next tc.

[@captaingsvfreedom]

That 16 time dv helps a lot

[@exilrecord]

thaanks ! 🥳

[@SlickGriminals]

Thanks great tutorial. I wish akai would refine/update the step sequencer workflow. I messed up and got an octatrack and now i wish akai would adopt some of that Elektron magic lol. Great tutorial again

[@goldmanz4852]

Thanks Jae, nice production too.

[@JaeFreshmen]

much love bro

[@karl.weaver]

Thanks

[@JaeFreshmen]

much love bro i really appreciate your support g thanks alot 💯

[@mreugenealmighty]

This is one of the reasons I'll buy an MPC because me using Fl Studio a step sequence will be easy for me to use to make drums in the MPC. The cross-over will be easy for me cause Im really not that much into figure drumming but that step sequencer will work for me using the MPC based on my Fl Studio experience. It's like the same concept in a way to me.

Awesomeness... I Use The Step Seq Usually When I Need To Be Specific And Precise To A Client's Taste, But Normally Just To Lay The Kick Patterns, But That's Gonna Change Now... GREAT DEMOSTRAITION, Again ! 👍🏽👍🏽💯🎼

Thank you, bro! Cool video! 👍

[@dennisadams2236]

What State are you located in. Do you do private MPC sessions ?

[@JaeFreshmen]

i do private session just dm me on ig @jaefreshmen

[@gravyguns]

What is the maximum number of bars that's allowed in a song?

[@JaeFreshmen]

thats not a thing bro but if you want a standard songwriting structure: intro can be 4 or 8 bars or even shorter just experiment hook 8 bars most of the time verse 8-12-16 and you can repeat that for however many verses you want for that song outro is the same as intro but maybe lean towards the outro not being to long but more importantly just count the bars of each section of your favorite song and try out there structure , most will follow along with this kind of format or google

[@gravyguns]

@@JaeFreshmen Another question: Could you make a professional sounding song on it using its tools, effects, and plugins to mix and master a song without having to transfer the song to a computer to make it sound like a professionally engineered song.

[@Legaceybeats]

This is a great video, and I appreciate you trying to be positive the whole time but let's be honest the sequencer is not good they need to redesign it. Living pages is annoying they could've at least put partial of it up top and the other partial down bottom creating a 32 length. It needs to be redone. great video

[@SlickGriminals]

I feel you! I would take an update to the step sequencer before another plugin! I would pay for it lol
