MPC 1000 Only House Music // Compact Creations 016

I love the MPC1000 a lot, but i've never really shown how to make music on an mpc. So i figured why not crank out another #compactcreations and make some house music on the mpc 1000!

[@RickyTinez]

Just wanted to drop a quick note on MPC 1000 Pricing. I have a link to see some used prices here - reverb.grsm.io/mpc1k And as much as i LOVE the 1000s don't pay more than $600 for one.. They're incredible, but i don't know, you might not like the "old school"-ness of it. ALSO don't buy the blue one. They have an older pad setup where each pad is a pain to replace if needed. The Black mpc 1000 has a single sheet of sensors which is cheaper and easier, and lasts longer in some cases.

[@pardonmysandwich6943]

Ricky Tinez the blue ones that have a black back plate are good tho - those were made in a different plant and have the sheet version of the pads. I have a black mpc1k with a silver back plate - it had the individual pads when I got it and I upgraded. Just wanted to say the black ones can also have the bad pads. Black back plate = good /// silver back plate = bad I got granular in some forums and saw others discussing.

[@RickyTinez]

Pardon My Sandwich oh whoa good to know! Now I’m wondering which I have haha. I’ll check later. Thanks for that info!

[@pardonmysandwich6943]

Ricky Tinez hell yeah! You have a black back plate.

[@wanderrice3345]

I just bought one, it’s the blue/red one. But the pads have been replaced with the MPC stuff pads, will that be fine?

[@pardonmysandwich6943]

@@wanderrice3345 I would say so, yes!

I absolutely *love* seeing "how the sausage is made". The mistakes, two steps forward-one step back, happy accidents and inspired 1-takes. Thank you for showing people how much *fun* the process can be.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Seriously. I love how Ricky keeps in all the bad parts and is honest about it (not trying to make it a flawless video) and then you see the part that clicks and makes it awesome.

[@brunocpimenta]

What a perfect comment

[@nkozi]

This just became the best MPC 1k vid on youtube in years; If you're smart with these things you can run an entire full-scale pop production from a single project, no laptop needed.

[@theycallmefilip]

I have a bunch of kicks: *hats and cymbals playing* I hava a bunch of hats: *snares start playing*

[@Cavanho]

My English improves from watching these videos. “That kick is just so... Lackadaisical” thank you for your vocabulary sir

[@Nick-ht5yi]

Lol English fifa commentators taught me this word. What a word!

[@basehead617]

One of the best things about your videos is the vibe of your house style... it reminds me of those classic 90s deep house tracks where there's just chill sounds and feel, nothing too crazy going on.. it definitely has a throwback feel to it.

[@badbenjy]

I bought a 1k because of you. Currently putting all my effort in to my Deluge, but the MPC is sat there waiting. This is the best 1000 video ive seen on youtube so far!

[@jthorpe4droid]

I spend the last 5 minutes looking for some inspiration then you pop up. Cool, excellent jam was totally dancing along on the sofa instead of working.

[@DJDrue]

I've never owned an MPC, and seeing someone rock the workflow really opened my eyes. Just by watching this process, a bunch of puzzle pieces fell into place regarding house music production. The way you sequenced parts on the MPC sounds exactly like the 1000's of records I've purchased over the years. Thanks for taking the time to show this process. I never realized now how much house music production centered around just this one platform alone, and just how much the workflow really affected the sound itself. It's one thing to talk about the influence of the MPC academically; it's altogether another to see it in process. I kind of regret not starting with an MPC because the overall sound really matches up with the kind of music I enjoy making. When I sit down to make my next track, I'll be thinking about some of the techniques you use in this workflow and try to use what I've learned. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@jjjjj2220]

I think they where a stable for decades

[@singersynthwriter]

thanks ricky for that inspiring video here from berlin. because of you i bought the mpc1000 and totally love it. I'm a huge fan of your channel and many folks over here in Berlin, too. keep on inspiring people!

[@420gravy4]

I always dug the MPC 1000. It definitely fell into the "why did they ever stop making that?" catagory. I liked all the after market custom goodies too, nice to have the ability to make your machine unique.

[@trevor_mounts_music]

I think they could have continued to make the 1000 for another ten years or so and it would have been fine. Lmao

[@dudemanxx]

Love the timing of that LFO on the filter at 11:55, and the air right before the loop. Moments like those are magic.

[@dudemanxx]

Bro you weren’t lying about that little lead jump. Fire. Happy accidents.

[@RickyTinez]

thanks for the support bro! i appreciate it haha.

[@Lemon8]

Nice to watch. I've been so productive making records with my MPC 2000 in the past. Will eventually get back to an MPC. It's just so quick and creative.

[@DJ_TideWave]

I am so happy I found your channel! Gonna binge watch all your videos! This is quality and you know your gear for sure! What an awesome house track! 😃

You are a true production boss. So solid and smooth. This makes me miss my 2000XL.

[@SupiraOfficial]

Brings back those memories, Thanks!

[@samsicles_jr]

Hey Ricky, really enjoyed this video and nice to see the 1000 again. I’ve noticed they’ve seemingly had a resurgence. It was my first MPC back in 2008. I got it used and they’ve held their price all this time. Something I’ve never done well is organise my sample library on an MPC but your system looks refined for quick creation. Perhaps you could do a video at some point on your sample management and especially on an MPC. Keep up the good work! Sam

[@gcoffin4028]

Hi Ricky, quick tip : if you want to go faster with the data wheel, press shift at the same time as you use it, and you’ll increase value 10 by 10 rather than 1 by 1. It will save your wheel life span ;-) Mpc1000 is the best! Had mine for 15years and it’s still the hub of my synth setup. With JJ OS 2xl of course!

[@dudemanxx]

G Coffin big tip, thank you! Is OS 2xl what he’s using in the video?

[@RickyTinez]

absolute G for that tip thank you! I always use numeric to spare my data wheel haha. thank you!

[@steelcitysi]

Word. I asked someone else in this thread but just curious why you like OS2XL over OS3 or OS128XL?

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

You can use the Shift function on the slider too if it's anything like the 2000XL

[@dudemanxx]

My man, you absolutely snapped on this one. Thank you for doing what ya do.

[@joearcidiacono2110]

Dude, you just opened up a new horizon for me. I can't thank you enough.

Great stuff. Was just playing my mpc live today... similar but different. Love watching your process.

[@zacpalmquist3059]

I love seeing hardware still carrying on. I still got a 2kxl, used to have a 60. These new MPCs are tempting. I like that have small portable options.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Just got my 1000 last week and I've lost count how many times I've watched this video. @Ricky Tinez do more of these!!!

[@stanleyc.348]

Given me great ideas on how to accomplish build ups with the live. A bunch of tracks with the same drum kit, genius.

[@uhoh007]

The most influential instrument of the 21st century. Complete DAW replacement in 2020. No newer MPC, or 99% of sequencers can sequence over MIDI like this thing can. Still a great sampler, also. Newer pads might be easier.

[@arttu2666]

agree with others - a really nice video! shows the basics of house production, and shows how quick you could program nice patterns. I would be so happy to see more in-dept videos of some JJOS functions, like Pattern to PAD, and lots of others. There are just a few mpc1000 tutorials online, which is weird, considering how many machines were made, and all of them are so uninspiring comparing to yours thank you

[@bahutu802]

Oh yes indeed, I was so delighted to finally find a proper JJOS 'tutorial' / walkthrough / jam.

[@geradactyl2874]

so dope ! thanks for the vids man I have learned a lot from ur channel :) peace

[@DougieLDN]

Quality material bro...have only just spotted your channel after all these years...hope you're well!

[@X-101]

I own a MPC 1000 because of you, and a Circuit and a Octatrack, GODDAMN YOU my poor wallet. Never used the 16 levels thing, thanks for the tip. I wish JJ would add a loop start point tho so you can loop the tail without having the initial hit in the loop

[@ghstcrm]

X-101 you can do that in JJOS, both 1 and 2XL at least. if you look around 9:50 in the video when he sets the sample to loop, another parameter shows up on the top bar, “Lp” for the loop start point (distinct from “St” for the playback start point). if the lock symbol is “unlocked” then you can edit these points independently!

[@havokcc]

I dont own the MPC 1000, but i love watching your videos for inspiration, nice job Ricky!

[@samxday]

This video is so well presented. Looks great. Sounds great. Your voiceover is calm and informative. 😎😎 I’ve been making electronic music for 30 years and I miss the days where I knew my kit inside out. Where you had to know your hardware front to back and beyond even what the manufacturers intended or expected. Hardware was expensive. You didn’t have much of it. So you had to dig deep. These days it’s all too easy to get ‘just one more’ VST and pull up the first couple of sounds you hear. My bad. I should really spend more time getting inside each instrument. ⛅️ 🎹

[@kevinfry3642]

Everything about these videos is amazing all the way up to the sound of dudes voice. He should have a pod.

[@alien_brain]

one of the best mpcs, a reason to own an mpc. jjosxl is essential and so performance friendly. im diggin the force tho, but jjosxl is a keeper. akai would do well to try and hire jj. the 2500 is the best version imo, its nice to have 4 q-link sliders. you can also fit a roland data knob on that has a much better feel, might even be a different plastic but is also low profile.

“Going to use this the rest of my life.” Sells it the following year. Lol great video, thank you for all ways putting in the work!

[@diezdiazgiant]

had a 1k and 500 for years, loved them but could never gel with doing everything in one box. for me it was always like the central midi clock/transport control i used to sync everything. midi out 1 goes to the hardware drum machines, midi out 2 to the computer and if i had synths my computer was controlling the synths because i prefer to midi edit on ableton when i had a machinedrum i would write like the core rhythm on that and then use the mpc midi out to embellish on top with note repeat for the fills then cap it in ableton and wipe the sequences. maybe because i never had the jjos but i could just never get into sample or midi editing on it, id make sequences on it but dump them almost immediately to ableton and never save them on the mpc

[@tedsomerville]

Man, I'm gonna need you to hop in a time machine and publish this video ten years ago.

I’d love to see you make the same track on the Octatrack and MPC 1000 as a workflow comparison video!

[@davidbaker231]

Super-fun video. I'm probably never going to own an MPC 1000, but it's fun to watch your process regardless of the gear. In fact, it's not the gear that makes this fun for me. It's your process. That said, I'm sure people who do use this gear love that aspect of it also.
