    Great vid but I have a problem getting the pads on my MPK249 and MPK mini to play the chords in pad perform mode. When I hit the keys or pads I only hear single notes. I've tried all of the various chord types (chords, Chromatic chords, & Progressions) and still nothing. It only lets me use mouse to trigger directly in the software. Any suggestions> Thanks in advance!

  • @rocknets
    @rocknets Před rokem

    The chords feature on the MPC software is great, but my frustration is that it won't play the chords with a single key on a keyboard. Also, it only accepts live input of chords, not by adding chords with the step sequencer.

      Ave Mcree bro that’s the BIGGEST scam I’ve ever seen. People are actually buying that shit for $400 dollars!!!!!! That’s a free plugin filled with the Unison chord and melodies pack and they are making it look like it’s some AI plugin thats a game changer. They are acting like the studio they are filming in is their studio and giving a tour of it while explaining features of the “wizard”. Dude is a FRAUD!!!! 3500 licenses at $400 is over a million dollars in sales. Dude said it’s an “Evaluation period” for the plugin so you better get it now before we run out of license. “They could be gone in 2 days” he also says. A midi plugin with no sound filled with midi files and a Wizard tapping the screen costs more than Omnisphere and Scaler 2 combined. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR VIDEO BROTHER
