I think I could watch this guy talk about using an MPC for hours at a time, true passion for the craft. Inspirational stuff.

[@kaloutube]

So true

[@m3e642]

they started using ableton after homework

[@6020fsk]

Meredian was one of the first records i bought back in the days ...it is a absolute classic and defined the whole musical genre 😀 Thank you for the Music Ian 👏😀

[@stevehanlon7627]

thank you Ian for sharing how you use the MPC in your studio. Roger Linn knew what he was doing!

[@blakeloington5476]

no matter what plug in you use, you can never duplicate this machine. there is a reason why the value is still so high on it and why its still being used today to make hits.

[@arjanpetersen]

Off course you can emulate it. The swing is just available in ableton. Somehow people idolize old stuff. It is only expensive because people see value in it. Doesn’t mean it is good. And it is hardly used.

[@KY-zerSOH-zay]

@@arjanpetersen i won´t argue on idolize with you, but sometimes or for some people, speaking of me, it´s more natural and more vibing to use an instrument and kinda play it instead of pushing a mouse and looking at huge screen when it comes to making music. that´s why i got me a mpc. and use ableton as a digital recorder with mastering fx . Todays abilities making music as a bedroom producers are quadrazillions times better then back in the 90s. I wish i had them for that price tag back then. the new mpcs can do it all now. the limit is only your skillset

[@davidvlight8874]

@@arjanpetersen The Swing yeah the way to play and make music impossible! Completely different feels and workflows!

[@arifmemovic3383]

@@arjanpetersen The MPC is not analog. It is an old computer. The code can literally be copied.

[@axelrigaud]

Thank you for this extremely valuable information on how house and techno used to be sequenced. Such a great demo on how limitations can help one create simple and effective tracks.

[@spekt909]

I love this!!! I thought I was operating big when I picked up the 2000XL with a jaz drive. I had no idea what I was doing at the time so I used it a little different then this, I guess that's what was so fun about hardware, coming up with creative ways to make it work for you. I always wanted the filter expansion, never did get around to purchasing one. Man I miss that unit.

[@solongyouth]

This is gold.

[@urtfools]

Please continue these. I hate to talk about it, but because most of us are in isolation and working from home, this is especially inspiring, knowing that such amazing and clear sound can be created in your lap!

[@magikmoment]

so inspiring, love the feel, thanks Ian

[@boothbuster]

I wish there were video resources like this in the early 2000s! I was so set on the computer being everything - although gear was expensive as always, so that was a factor too... I had a SuperNova and Roland but didn't even know much about the midi sequencing side of MPCs. Just got an old MC-909 recently but the Toraiz SP-16/DJS-1000 have been really insightful and I think their simplicity is akin to these older MPCs!

[@WhySoBroke]

Simply awesome!! Pooley ❤️🇲🇽❤️

[@alberto.tovar.79]

This video is a dream come true, should last longer and extend on the programming of these sequences

Then part one 😬

[@EvLoutonian]

Yes! Love it. Still using ASQ-10 (MPC-60/3000 style hardware sequencer) here.. I never thought to use the two sequences layered, with different time signatures! Will try that out. 🤗

Really nice video, thanks a lot for sharing. Great to see some MPC love 😊

[@johnymacarony394]

True Legend.

[@trevorgordonofficial]

It all makes sense why I consider Homework to be the best of the Daft Punk albums. All hardware, all raw, and it's got that "groove" like Pooley talks about

[@verapamil07]

You are right, it has that typical punchy 90s house and tech-house sound that makes you dance.

[@sweetwheatsy]

And making tracks based on the frikkin' distortion you get when you unplug the jackstick of a hardware; so good

[@calibomber209]

That’s been my fav album from them since 97’ but I think daft punk only uses hardware to this day.

Genius at work. This gives me courage , i just ordered an mpc one for on the couch,bed, garden ,travel etc and coming from a multiple daw background with 1000 possibilities i sometimes wonder will it be enough...the fx the storage the built in synths etc... Than i watch this and feel like a spoiled brath lol..

[@hardtekk90]

So if Moodyman made love to his MPC, Pooly made its taxes. And from a german Point of view this is a compliment. Quality Stuff.

[@souldefunk]

Yesyes!

[@soulscientific2685]

Dope vid! One day I hope to cop a mpc 3000.

[@rwesreal]

Yes! An amazing instrument! And you can tell the quality when Roger Linn was apart of the process

[@adrealz276]

Oh my god man ! you killed me, thanks for the tips

[@quartznation9499]

I like listening to tracks that don't sound like they were made with synthesizers or computers instead like it was created by clouds and you just wanna drop the umbrella and dance..ian rocks!

[@felippeboulderdash8453]

thanks!

[@robertjohnthorpe]

A real professional

[@sjmaury]

been using my 2kxl for drums and got a little bit demotivated as i prefer to program drums on a step sequencer but damn i really should start sequencing my synths with it.

[@robdprince]

My MPC 3000 has the VGA output as well, how did you end up capturing it digitally like this? Did it get plugged into a capture card? Amazing video!

[@bristoljim11]

900 degrees. TUNE!!!

[@atarix_official]

❤️

[@kssis4204]

Just realized that the main sample comes from the track Love Thang by First Choice.

[@NicoHolloman]

Amazing video series! Could you please explain how Ian was doing the simultaneous sequence of a 3/4 pattern over a 4/4 pattern? I didn't know you could have two sequences running at the same time in the MPC 3K and I'm curious how it's done.

[@sweetwheatsy]

Same. I always find synthlines going in a different time signature than the beat very intriguing and almost always brings a really good groove

[@Fran_27]

Does anyone know where I can find this version of higgledy piggledy? Cause every time I search it I always just find the 1996 version

[@pentacle9783]

Ian, What's the significance of changing the Time Signature to 3/4 bars of your Juno Loop sequence? I Are you changing the envelope of the Cutoff filter modulation @ 75% of the time as opposed to the entirety of the Loop?

[@tylkoheptrus]

On output A I have Jupiters and Minimoogs ;)

[@mike_qbik]

What other machines are close to MPC 3000 from the new batch.Is it MPC ONE or Maschine? I guess none of these could re do what MPC 3000 could bback then. Amazing video to see, that masters like Pooley still rocknroll their gear from the past. Was amazed to see how Fat Boy Slim did his records. Quite siomple stuff yet he mastered it and it still can deliver. Amazing inspiration.

[@philippelebon814]

MPC60 with S3000 (not xl). MPC60 for sequencing and the S3000 for Sampling. Fatboy Slim use 2 akai S950.

[@smythee7835]

"You would need to learn the machine to be fast with it"

[@calibomber209]

My first Ian pooley record was funky fashion data ep. it was late 90s . I wonder if that was made with that mpc 3000?

[@Leon-xv1nh]

That's one of the first records I thought of while watching this video. The stab sounds being filtered and the tight swinging beat. Must have been on this.

[@theway3058]

That’s my jam.

[@subcoin_community]

Hello guys. Thanks for such interesting video. How did you capture the MPC screen?

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

via the VGA output

[@sergep3976]

FUCKING LEGEND

[@rwesreal]

How can I take time correction off....want to try some sequencing without quantization

[@defdac]

Is that random line a unique graphics bug for his machine?

[@hughfasher8070]

I’m relatively new to MPC. I understand the groove aspect. I’m curious how Ian takes what he’s learnt on the mpc and integrates it into his modern workflow.

[@dope_robot]

as in what? unlimited FX/plugin chains? he says in the video he doesn't do much inside the box.

[@jjjjj2220]

It more using one or 2 reverbs many 1 flanger and a delay to make tracks. Maby some comp on drum or bass. It really simple. More filter and attack n decay. Not really effects on every thing

[@tonicdb]

Does anyone know how to do the 3/4 bar sequence sync on an Mpc 2000xl? Great tutorial

[@dope_robot]

bottom left corner. "S" beside the program name. change that to M and explore the options. not sure if it's the same as MPC2500, MPC3000, etc. but I think it is.

[@tonicdb]

@@dope_robot amazing thanks mate i never thought to click on that s!

Can anyone show more about the screen capture on this, was it filmed from above and transposed later or was it real time display grabbed? Thanks!

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

The MPC 3000 has a vga output, so it‘s a real time display recording.

[@freddie7981]

Joep Thats what I’ve been wondering

[@marvinjones4415]

@@joep4847 The MPC3000 had an option for a vga output so you can look at everything on a (old-school CRT) computer screen and not be staring at the smaller lcd on the machine all the time.

[@medwaystudios]

Excellent video. Any reason why it was 130.2 bpm?

[@CoreyHague]

He may have liked the swing better, or it may have suited the main loop better - there’s no warp markers on an MPC, so you make the tempo fit the loop, not the other way around.

[@jjjjj2220]

Changing tempo to fit samples

[@kosmikmusa]

I really miss the old MPC workflow. I wish someone would recreate that machine again with respect the original. Mayby tthere is alternative... or could someone do this to Reaktor or Max for Live. Or could someone do this on iPad program. It just needs to be straigt forward and had to have that groove like MPC have no matter what or how you play it always is groovy.

[@The-Lard310]

Behringer should make a 3000 clone.

[@adoniseducksworth]

How does he get those stems into a DAW? Solo each track and record them in?

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Yes, but the MPC has also single outputs

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

Does the 3000 have built-in effects?

[@andrewsutherland4344]

Heathcliff it has a delay which you can automate if you record your mix movements on a blank track.

[@st33Npuist]

7:59 is the only thing you have to remember.;p

[@LacklusterOfficial]

wow, seeing that a sequence can have x amount of bars of repeats of it, while something happens, then going to the next one in the song. man i wish trackers had something like that instead of the stupid shit they do currently (one pattern played once, then on to the next pattern)
