How to Create MPC Chord Progressions

[@andrecubilo7328]

trust me man, you won't get " bombarded " for any music theory mistake ... you shared a countless amount of lessons for us, Mpc users & this should be rewarded & not criticised. I was an absolute noob on Mpc's & you sorted me out after just a few video of yours. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Thanks Amon, you’re welcome

[@glutenguten1]

agree. I love the videos from tubedigga, its refreshing to watch someone dive deeper into the matrix of the mpc and share the knowledge! i have watched too many tutorials explaining the same tip of the iceberg workings of the mpc. Let it be known I am not hating on anybody here, just praising the tubedig. sidenote: would love for the thumbnails with the excavator X and the likes to make a return, that shit was gold.

[@forgottenmohawks8734]

2:14 Holy shit what!! 🤯 I have been wishing for exactly this for so long and I had no idea that it was possible to do this 😲

[@MusicianParadise]

Great tips - I'm using Pad Perform all the time, never thought about using retrospect rec. for chord progressions creations, make a lot of sense ! And now we know how to clear the retrospect rec. buffer! Nice approach to harmony as well, very effective!

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

I love you MR Tubedigga!

[@Tetrahex_uk]

Big ups for the tutorials, really helping me get the most out of my MPC X, always learn new stuff from your channel

[@soundgrounding]

Thanks. Your vids are my mpc x manual 🤘🏽

[@superconfort]

Comment to support the channel. Thanks for the masterclass

[@adamquek1095]

Thanks for the tutorial. This is really helpful!

Thanks for the sizzle'n MPC chord progression tips in OS 2.8. Tubedigga, you bring great insight and experience to learning new ways to make music come alive. Keep up the Boom-Bostic work!

I love these videos! As always great content Mr. Digga!

Thanks for your support man as always :)

Handy tips, thanks for sharing.

[@paulred158]

Thanks so much this is incredibly useful .

[@Legaceybeats]

Great video thank you for the information

[@spaceshipstudios5836]

Are you saving the progression to the eternal drive or external ?

[@jb8875]

Dope for real!👊🏽👍🏽

[@THEKINGOCAESAR]

Dope ass video tube digga I been looking for how to do this man

[@bobjamesbrown6258]

Great video

[@ramsmusik5629]

Great tutorial. Is it posible to save the progression to a track or sequence?

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Yes, you just use pad performance mode to record in the chords / notes and you can save the midi data as either a pattern or sequence

[@ramsmusik5629]

Thank you so much. This may be a stupid question, but how? I have tried looking in all the pencil icon menues in both sequence, track and program. In standalone.

[@TUBEDIGGA]

@@ramsmusik5629 In the sequence edit menu there’s the option to SAVE SEQUENCE and in the track edit menu you can SAVE PATTERN.

[@LilHoss]

That's a cool design on your MPC One, is it a overlay/decal or a custom paint job or what? I just got a black MPC One and already looking for ways to customize it to my liking. I like to lighter look and grouping of the 10 buttons in the lower right area. Enjoying your videos too!

[@TUBEDIGGA]

It’s a plain white vinyl skin from MPC Stuff but I modified it

[@LilHoss]

@@TUBEDIGGA Thanks so much, I will check them out!!

[@dawidmikulicz5637]

Tubedigga after almost all of your video tutorials I ve got my own mpc live and love it 😍 Now I know I should read manual but Im able to do every basic action needed to create beat. Can I Ask you about progression? Becouse when I use chord mode then I can switch to notes and ofcourse I would only play in tune. I would love to do the same thing with progression. It would be nice to create our own progression and it should show us name of scale or just hightlight notes in note mode, you know what I mean? There would be no need to look at screen to find our notes from chorda. Peace for everyone musicians

[@tom22333]

How do you like the faderfox? Do you use it to control the one?

[@TUBEDIGGA]

It's one of the best, if not the best midi controllers I've owned. Very flexible and great for the expansing the MPCs Qlinks

[@tom22333]

@@TUBEDIGGA awesome thanks. I'm thinking of picking up a midifighter twister for similar reasons. Appreciate another great vid!

[@hectorsalcedo1851]

Question: can you play chord progressions on one track and notes on another? i noticed that whatever mode i choose, all my tracks change...

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Any notes already recorded on any of your tracks won’t change but the mode does, allowing you to record other types of note data. Meaning that if you record notes on a track then change the pad performance mode to progressions, you can then record progressions. But changing the mode won’t change what you’ve already recorded.

[@hectorsalcedo1851]

@@TUBEDIGGA thanks for your reply. I’m actually not recording, just pad performing live

[@TUBEDIGGA]

@@hectorsalcedo1851 Ok, well either way the mode is global - meaning you can set whatever mode you want but not simultaneously use more than one mode.

[@IntiPeruCinema]

Do you know what the Shift+REC would be on the MPC X ? I've never got it to work. :-/

[@TUBEDIGGA]

It’s the same, it executes the retrospective recording.

[@IAmDamiani]

Question, can you only use chord progression with plug-ins (tubesynth) or can you use chord progression with samples? When i load a program (samples) and then select chord progression, chord progression doesn't work.

[@mrdemosounddesign4710]

Plug ins, midi, and keygroups. U can use with samples but not in "drum" mode, gotta make a keygroup out of the sample 1st.

[@southpolesurfer6936]

I’m wondering if

[@hh-ob5bo]

Lovely

[@gsmith11172]

What about MPC Studio

[@TUBEDIGGA]

You can do anything I show on my channel for any MPC controller with the MPC software so it doesn’t matter which one you have.

[@clocksyn]

how do we do this on mpc 3.0

[@TUBEDIGGA]

It's basically the same method, record some chords or import some chord midi files and press the pencil icon whilst in ARRANGEMENT view on the main page and choose CONVERT TO PROGRESSION from the menu. Then your progression will show up in the OTHER category in PAD PERFORM mode.

[@clocksyn]

@TUBEDIGGA I pressed the pencil but i didn't see the convert to progression option

[@TUBEDIGGA]

@@clocksyn On the main page you have two panels in the bottom half. The left one is for the track , the right one is for arrangement. Press the pencil on the right one which says ARRANGEMENT and it’s in that menu on the left hand side

[@clocksyn]

@@TUBEDIGGA ok I"ll try it

PUT GRID TO ONE BAR PUT IN YOUR CHORDS AND MANGLE CHORDS FASTEST WAY I FOUND TO BE HELPFUL

[@Beatz-Pocket]

Thank you very much Sir. But how to delete a chord progressions. Love from Germany ❣️

[@TUBEDIGGA]

You can delete files by viewing them in your MPC browser by highlighting them and pressing SHIFT so delete appears at the bottom of the screen. I think progression files are found somewhere in the MPC internal drive directory.

[@Beatz-Pocket]

@@TUBEDIGGA Thank you very much Sir. A huge help ❣️

[@johncaccioppo1142]

I'm sure you understand music theory much better than you think, TD. At some point in advanced theory you start to realize that all you are doing is learning to very eloquently defend your awful shite. "It's not out of tune, it's microtonally pitched..."
