In this video I show the basics of setting up a keygroup program with multiple samples. I use a vinyl record as my source material
How to find the pitch of your samples, how to tune your samples, and how to set the root note for each sample and map your keygroups so they are playable on a midi keyboard.

Awesome video. I just got my Live and it's been fun as hell to learn all of the features. Thanks for this, man.

[@LiftedNoise]

No doubt! You're very welcome 🙏 thanks for stopping in.

[@Syntox]

SENPAI! Only video I've found that explains this so clearly, like Aristotle giving knowledge sitting on his philosopher stone. Thank you, thumbs up, and subscribed!

[@LiftedNoise]

🙏 thank You for the positive comments and sub. I appreciate it 🙏

[@Ink0ne415]

Dope tutorial as usual my brother. And much respect on your sponsorship. You’re work is top notch, I’m glad I found your channel.

[@LiftedNoise]

Thanks brother. I appreciate that 🙏 I'm glad to see a familiar face. Thanks for the continued support.

[@blackthebanner]

this explains it perfect also the dope idea about the tuner on the output thanks man!

[@MicroBot1982]

Thanks for uploading this tutorial have my mpc live 2 for 1 month

[@LiftedNoise]

Awesome 👌sometimes I wish I had one of those!

[@MicroBot1982]

@@LiftedNoise yes These machine is very great but some Bugs destroy my Musicer live for Example the New Volume knob in the left upper corner When using this knob my external Gear like digitakt or octatrack get out of sync or when you fire up some midi Notes via midi thru to the walforf blofeld and you use the pad Perform in Chords Mode then Play some notes and know like a ghost starts the midi Sequenz on All external gear. The speaker on the mpc live 2 is very good

[@THEKINGOCAESAR]

Congrats on the sponsorship can’t wait to get their. Like always nice video.

[@LiftedNoise]

Thank You bro 🙏 keep going, be persistent to stay consistent. ✌

I wish i had the skills to use a device like this!! MPCs are such a dope instrument!

[@LiftedNoise]

Whaaaat... PeeJay, you know you got skills! I'd definitely recommend one. Thanks for dropping in. 🙏

[@ICEICE-em9fb]

Thank you, well explained, no bullshit, just straight to it.

[@LiftedNoise]

🙏👊 thank you ✌

[@MrLawrenceOnethree]

Thanks for the video. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do this on my own.

[@LiftedNoise]

No doubt. 🙏 happy I could help.

[@AnubisProd]

Nice video, I wish the MPC would have built in tools to detect and correct the keys/tune. Similar features are available by default in so many daws.

[@LiftedNoise]

Yes that would be great! I want that. Atleast a tuner like the physical one I showed in the vid built in to the software.

[@Soocom-tq5if]

That's pretty much how you do it. Good stuff. Don't forget to normalize. If you like where it's sitting in the mix or if you like the stereo effects you hear keep it stereo. Otherwise I sum the left and right channel to mono and let the user pan it to their likings.

[@LiftedNoise]

Good tips 🙏 I could have gone more in depth. I don't think I normalized the samples. I ended up putting a compressor on the channel insert.

[@ECollinsMusic]

This was very helpful Thanks!

[@LiftedNoise]

😎🙏

[@IsshmanGarcia]

Great content brotha. What cable connection do you use to get output of MPC to Korg tuner? I got an earlier model of the Korg tuner but don't know if I should be running just the left cable to it or get a Y cable with 1 1/4 TRS to dual 1/4 TS or what?

[@LiftedNoise]

I don't think it really matters. I've done both and it works no problem everytime. Thanks for the comment brother 🙏

[@IsshmanGarcia]

@@LiftedNoise thanks for reply.

[@mpcbeats]

@@LiftedNoise lol great videos by the way

[@LiftedNoise]

🙏 thanks man!!

[@peterpowell5189]

you listed everything that you used, except for the tuner lol...yooooo!! lemme 1st start off by saying thank you!!! I didn't even something like this ever even existed!! How does is work though? Lets say I get a tuner (something I was hoping would come in an mpc update smh) and I have an 808 that I'm trying to get in key. Lets say I want it in A minor, and the tuner is showing it to be C...can the tuner get it to A minor? or is that something you have to do manually with the MPC and if that's the case, how do you do that?

[@LiftedNoise]

The tuner just indicates what your pitch is. So you will plug your mpc output into this. The tuner will tell you if your notes are so you can Then tune or fine tune with your mpc as you monitor what's happening on the tuner. But to be clear this is for single notes, not chords or the key of a progression/sample. With the MPC Update 2.10 you do have key detection though.

[@peterpowell5189]

@@LiftedNoise yes there’s key detect, but I when it detects the key and you need it changed to another key, how do you do that?

[@LiftedNoise]

@@peterpowell5189 you know I haven't looked at it much, maybe there is more you can do with it but my thought right now is to just use the tune and warp functions together. I'll look into it.

[@peterpowell5189]

@@LiftedNoise bro this is super helpful. I’m ordering one now. All I need it for is 808 tuning purposes. So now I can hit the 808 and see what it is, and then go into sample edit and make the adjustments from there. But they still need to make an update where there’s a tuning feature.

[@Joebabylon]

Hello again. When would you say this would be better than just using the 16 notes (tune) feature to play a sample across the pads?

[@LiftedNoise]

When you want to play notes with a keyboard and use more than one sample for higher fidelity past more than 2 octaves.

[@Beatz-Pocket]

Do you fully mix and mastering your beats on mpc or not? And how different sounds your fully mpc mix compère to your DAW MIX?

[@LiftedNoise]

yes I do everything inside the MPC no DAW inside a computer. Just my preference I feel the MPC is very capable.

[@PeaceMakerMusick]

Need a tuner bro does it do any sample? What's the name as well

[@mikedevlin2048]

Any reason why the samples have been recorded at such a low gain ?

[@LiftedNoise]

No. Definitely not a good reason. I should have recorded them louder. Time management and trying to get a video made on time 🤦‍♂️

[@galenatures]

Dude where are you getting your drums sounds from?

[@LiftedNoise]

Whatevers available, some stock stuff, I'll sample them from vinyl and use atleast a couple layers. I'm in the process of creating some sample kits, that include drums, vinyl chops, bass, and instrument tones. How bout you, what are your sources?

[@biggwillbeats4384]

🙏🏾‼️ 🔥‼️✌🏾‼️

[@LiftedNoise]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@F_letc.h]

Why sample three notes from the record and lay them across the keyboard, instead of just sampling one note?

[@LiftedNoise]

The more notes the better. If you just sample a single note, the quality will degrade the further its pitched away from the original sample.

[@F_letc.h]

@@LiftedNoise got it. Thanks, man! Clearest tutorial I’ve seen on how this works.

[@LiftedNoise]

@@F_letc.h np. Thanks for the good words 🙏

[@cheodelpino581]

I like it but it’s still confusing to me and I’m reading the mpc bible about this topic too

[@LiftedNoise]

how can I help? what are you stuck with?

[@cheodelpino581]

I guess it’s the overall of this key group concept... from what I’m assuming this is for live instruments or taking a sample from anything... then knowing exactly the purpose of this key group

[@damngary]

My MPC Live's SSD isn't showing up when I put it in controller mode. But it shows up in standalone mode

[@LiftedNoise]

Never had a hard drive and I don't use controller mode at all but I feel like I've heard that was a just the reality of how it is with the hard drives.

Which Kong Chromatic tuner is this one

[@LiftedNoise]

Korg CA-50

[@Diego-kb7mf]

My bad Korg. Auto correct on the phone, jarring lol!!!

Hey bro it's been a long time. I've been thinking about getting that mpc live like you said. I'm leaning towards it. What if I dont have a turntable to sample but want to sample from KZbin what devices do I need to do that? " To sample from KZbin "....... because we both know every artist or song is on KZbin and that would be where I'll be looking to sample HOW OR WHAT DO I NEED TO SAMPLE FROM KZbin? THANKS BRO

[@LiftedNoise]

I've sampled KZbin in the past just using my phone and a stereo trs to 3.5mm audio cable. That's all you really need. Thanks for stopping in again. I don't usually mention it. If you do decide to go for the LIVE, just a suggestion, I buy all my gear from zzounds and they have a great pay as play offer. I did $250 a month for 6 months a believe.

[@thomascraighead3489]

@@LiftedNoise thanks again. Also do I need that program like the program for the mpc black? I cant remember the name of it. You have to have it for the black to sample from KZbin. Like I said cant remember the name of it right now. Lol

[@LiftedNoise]

@@thomascraighead3489 I think you're probably talking about soundflower, which gives you the ability to route the audio playing from your computer into the mpc software and sample it. You could do that with the live but it wouldnt be necessary with the lives physical inputs you could use the cable I described and your phone to sample directly from KZbin

[@thomascraighead3489]

@@LiftedNoise thanks bro always appreciate you your beats and your feedbacks.... you're the best.
