Making Minimal Techno on the MPC One

[@MrMechanicMike]

Everything sounds awesome. I love those tech sounds! 😍

[@MikePTT]

More of that please!? Always those similar boom bap, hip-hop and trap oriented videos start to get boring and monotonous… It's nice to see someone is exploring other great genres!

[@TheArtOfCool]

Can’t stand hip hop

[@droussel7359]

Good stuff, it's great to see other kinds of music being done on the MPC. You are the one who pushed me over the edge about getting one earlier this year :D

[@igobytony]

Hell yeah this is what I'm talking about! I love seeing people do not-boombap, and I'm a big minimal fan 🎶

[@GabeMillerMusic]

I love boom bap, but the MPC is capable of a wide variety of genres!

[@MikePTT]

THIS!

[@beatsandbuttons]

Just got mine and this is indeed a great device. I directly added a Launchcontrol XL to make performing easier with faders and rotaries, that is the finishing touch which makes this device really an awesome piece of gear

[@jurajkohut5703]

Wooow!!! You play that MPC like a BOSS bro! EXCELLENT stuff, awesome ! I Love it!!!

[@rayderrich]

I really like the Akai MPC from what I see, and really enjoy your video and audio quality here on KZbin, but what I actually keep coming back for is the insane skills from your hands on the pads.

[@Mojokiss]

Loving these how to build mpc one tracks videos Gabe. I had a korg electribe that got stolen in probably 2000 and now in 2023 i finally got an MPC ONE (gold) at a pawn shop brand new in the box for about $475 and the more I dig in the more it shows me that it can do ANYTHING and more

[@remyvegamedia]

Yooooo honestly these videos have been great for me. I'm primarily a synth/keys player and make beats from that angle. "Sampling" for me is usually just for percussion and atmospheric stuff. I play all my synth/piano/rhodes parts. These synth and electronic sounds are actually what I use to make my stuff and the MPC One is seeming to be the best option for my away from home composition device.

[@JustinUrban1]

Been following your content for awhile. Coming from watching others like Bo and Red Means Recording I really think you are making great content for the music production community. Glad to see younger people still stoked about electronic music and can’t wait to see what more you bring to the table to teach more people the skills you’ve learned. Just thought I’d throw some positive vibes your way.

[@DJModsChannel]

You had me at Australia

[@ipainthouses3084]

Gabe , so if i saw it right you put the mother ducker on the kick and the MD output on anything else ? Im still pretty much a beginner so maybe im asking the obvious here

[@synthsforbreakfast]

Cool! But isn’t it more efficient to route all the elements that require ducking to a sub mix track and use just one Mother Ducker? I see you use lots of plugins. Have you experienced any CPU/RAM issues?

[@eriksather2598]

Just got my MPC One your videos rock thanks!!!!

[@danrkelly]

Some great tricks in there, thanks for sharing.

[@Sey_Les]

I just got a mpc few weeks ago. It’s definitely made me appreciate my novation beginnings but I can’t go back now lol. This thing is all I’ve wanted

[@GabeMillerMusic]

Glad you're enjoying it! I still enjoy both for different reasons but yeah the MPC is some serious power at your fingertips

[@99bigjim]

excellent - reminds me of Underworld

[@jthorpe4droid]

Merry Christmas, and happy new year. Awesome videos all year long, I really felt I've learnt a lot. Cheers!

[@funguy29]

More Techno Pleeease

[@va941]

Got the mpc1....thinking about the circuit tracks...and then adding 1010s lemondrop and microfreak to midi channel 1 & 2....that should work WELL for techno me thinks.

[@patrick-ch6te]

Sick beat

[@mariowillstorfer2481]

Sounds very good!

[@darumabeats]

man this sounds so good! incredible! well done that's so inspiring

[@sl2125]

Hi Gabe, Very informative, good to see other styles on the MPC, quick question, what percentage swing have you applied and also is that applied globally or just to drum track?? Many thanks

[@sinewaymusic]

Nice tracks! How are you using the MC-101 now that you seem to have made the MPC One your primary music making device? I'm looking for something bedside table-portable to go along with my MPC One for those shorter sessions when I'm too lazy to step into the studio where my MPC is, and I'm still eyeing the MC-101 for that use case. 😊

[@YanivhmTube]

Excellent beats 👏

[@JeremyForTheWin]

First track reminds me of a mid 90s track called Westworld by Chiapet (a John Ciafone alias)

[@stevegriffiths566]

Hi Gabe really. Enjoy your videos Im ready to buy an akai mpc x Or force But everything seems to be governed towards chill rap and all the slow stuff. 😩 This is great Where do you get the sounds from as all the expansions seem to be I've the genres mentioned I want to hit some Melbourne bounce dirty electro etc

[@davidmoore9385]

MPC 1 or mc707 , which would you choose if it was the only box you could have

[@skarryprankhunter]

Hi! Love your videos!

[@Guitarist888]

What plug-in did you use to make that?

[@brunorege1742]

Cool

[@vertigev]

Damn, this is good shit

[@slemaster11]

I want one of these. It seems so overwhelming lol. But at the same time user friendly.

[@GabeMillerMusic]

Yeah it took me extra time to get my head around the interface, but once I did, it became pretty fluid.

[@va941]

Yyyaaaassss!!!!! 😍

[@Gome.o]

Minimal Techno out of Australia? That's where I'm from! Which artists are you talking about?

[@GabeMillerMusic]

I've listened to a lot of stuff from the label Hungry Koala. I'm not sure if all the artists on it are Australian, but Mark Dekoda, Droplex, Rob Lewis, and Gabe Agullo are some that stuck out for me

[@wren23_bass-synths]

Great vid! You mentioned that you used Maschine kits. Are they available for the MPC in the store or NI website?

[@GabeMillerMusic]

They're not natively available for the MPC, I had to convert them to the MPC format using the software Kit Maker.

[@DCPier]

Hm... this is some house stuff, EDM, whatever but minimal techno? No. Think it's the same problem as when everyone is calling electronic music electro, absolutely not knowing what the genre electro originally was and still is...

[@NathanChisholm041]

Dude interesting but that not minimal!

[@gsweater5544]

LMAO ok Jim

[@ericvernooij2917]

That first one needs to be expanded into an actual song. With a clavinet part and a diva wailing. I'd buy that on vinyl, seriously.

[@mackebrechtseiner7664]

this is not minimal ... chicks-disco ... but sure not minimal ...

[@russellleo5182]

Kids these days am I right?

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Generic melodic techno 101

[@Asdrubale01]

keeping only positive comments and removing every other comment with little critics or different points of view is ridicolous.

[@GabeMillerMusic]

I agree that that's ridiculous, that's why I don't do it. I delete outright spam but everything else stays.

[@Martina-uo9rn]

Omg first?

[@Mr.Tubster]

Hi maestro 😊 grwat vid, rly helpful 😎😍😎 dont want to teach you, if u want let the music role a bit more, cause its rly amazing 😍😍😍 ay? 👉🎅 greetings

[@wavelengthrecords-1]

Oh my god stop talking like that for Pods sake!!!!!!
