[@wiggesobk]

That was awesome! Makes me want to grab my MPC One right now.

[@FreeBeat]

Do it! :D

Hey mate, been binge watching your content. Really helpful for someone getting into making electronic music. Thank you 👍

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you so much!

[@alitna]

Man that is some good samples!

[@SonicVibe]

🎶 my favorite genre of music

[@FreeBeat]

It's pretty close to the top of mine, for electronic at least!

[@avace917]

I love that kit. Just made a Synthwave song myself with that kit, the Jura for bass, Hype for bells and Arturia Jupiter 8V for a pad. This is in the software of course

[@FreeBeat]

Nice!

[@vertigev]

Loving this 🔥🔥🔥

[@FreeBeat]

Glad to hear it!

This one jam demonstrates how the MPC One works better than a lot of in depth reviews. One sequence, 16 bars long, 4 tracks: Drums, Bass, Chords, Bells. A bit of mixing, tweaking the chord length on a piano roll. Fast and clean. Good job demoing what the MPC can do as a groovebox, but without going into sample chops and effects and external hardware synths, which the MPC does really well, too. It's a beast. I wonder, though, prior to recording the last 10min of the session, the actual jam, how long was the set up process - picking out the drum kit, synth presets, trying out what You were going to play and such.

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you so very much! The setup process took maybe 5 minutes of just scrolling around some presets haha.

[@lamontsandifer998]

great groove.

[@I.O.M.]

Man you had me hooked and was Justin waiting for the 80s vox to kick in.

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks!

[@jakubkolcar6789]

That is fantastic!

[@Adam-ye8cv]

Finger skills are Crazzzyyy Hats off😱

[@jakef552]

Very creative flow, man. I've mainly been watching your pocket operator videos but this one was also nice - keep up the good work!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much, will do!

[@christhedemocrat]

His best beat by far. I'm thinking about getting One to add to my collection.

[@GatisKaulinsh]

Thanks I really appriciate this as a lession how to - to approximately start my own synthwave track! :)

[@FreeBeat]

Happy to help!

[@baltimega]

This is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you!

[@christhedemocrat]

Update: I bought One from the Mason Pawn Shop for $350 It's all you need as far as music equipment goes. I'm not a big fan of the EPiano sounds though Probably because I own two Rhodes, one Wurlitzer and two Maestro 612P Electric Mechanical Pianos. But this little box does everything. I be making beats for days

[@FreeBeat]

That's a great deal!

[@planetduh]

Good job, sounds great👍

[@aliasghar907]

is there a mixer section to fade tracks in and out?

[@petermolenkamp7032]

Really liked it thanks

[@york707]

Would fit in any number of scenes in Fletch

[@GordonBBB123]

Your videos rock!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much!

[@johncarter2741]

Yeah I can picture this tune to an 80s style film sequence. It’s either a private detective car journey scene, or a go getting female lawyer scene. Gathering evidence montage. She takes no shit. She has shoulder pads.

[@Jesoteric]

Nice

I'm a guitar player who mostly jams/loops in Ableton, but I'm looking into a standalone hardware solution. I watched quite a few MPC videos that I really struggled to understand, but this one makes it super easy to get the gist of the jamming workflow. Now, my only question is, can you seamlessly add a guitar to this jam? As in, plug in the guitar direct to the input (using either a pedalboard or some amp sim plugins on the MPC) set up an audio track, and record a sequence of predefined length (16-bars in this case) with MPC starting the recording at the beginning and stopping it at the end of the beat? If so, how many audio tracks can it realistically handle? I know I could probably use a looper with midi sync along with MPC, but I very much enjoy the workflow of recording audio loops of predefined length in Ableton, and I wonder if MPC can mimic that.

[@Adam-ye8cv]

And A Nice Beat I could easily Sing something to This

[@IPMBEATS]

Whats the drum kit?

[@FreeBeat]

Just the stock 80's kit :)

@@FreeBeatI have akai force but I don’t have 80’s kit , it is unique for mpc? Or could you share the sample’s if it is possible ?
