- MPC Live 2 tutorial, in this video I'm showing you how to do the secret auto chop technique. ALL MPC's can do this secret auto chop technique, sometimes called J Dilla auto chop or velocity chop. J Dilla probably did this on his MPC 3000, but can be done on all models since the MPC 60 - which was the first MPC. I'm showing you how to do this on the MPC Live 2 - it will work the same way on all the other moderntrtyjnkjjkhtttrfdwq MPC's (MPC One, thhhMPC X, MPC Touch, MPC Live). The principle of this auto chop technique is the same on the older MPC's but may have some unique setting to that MPC that need to be correct in order for this to work.

For users of old MPCs (at least for the 2000/2000xl):
Keep in mind that you
1. loose the ability to play the sample at different volume cause every change you do to the velocity will change the samplestart point ionstead of the volume (this also means that the overall velocity of a track Velo%: parameter will change the start of the chops)
2. With a samplelength over ....as far as I remember it was about 4 seconds, you won't be able to 'reach' the parts behind this point cause the 127 velocity steps are spread only over the 4 seconds. Velocity 127 will be the original samplestartpoint. Velocity 1 will set the startpoint to about 4 seconds and play the sample from there.
3. The steps are not spread in equal samplelength. While the velocityrange from 127 to about 100 shift the samplestart in small amounts (high resolution) the lower velocityrange will shift in bigger steps (lower resolution)
So yes. It is a nice method to work with the machine in a creative way but if you want to be in full control of samplestart when chopping timing-critical stuff like a drumbreak this method won't make you happy.
It's a method to play around with and get inspired IMO.
Great info! Thanks for sharing! 🙌
Tip to remove the pops when applying the auto chop method to a sample:
In Program edit for the pad you have the sound assigned to change the Attack in the Amp envelope from 0 to 5 and the pops/ clicks when the sample is triggered throughout the 16 levels will go away.
Good tip, thanks!
This is not how J Dilla chopped samples but cool technique nonetheless. Check out Dan Charnas’s book “Dilla Time”. It breaks down his techniques with insight from people that actually knew and worked with him.
Yeah I have to read that book! People have called it the j dilla auto chop several places online, but of course hard to verify. Thanks for watching!
hyped to try this one out! 🙌🏻
Yea its a fun trick!
Awesome video very helpful thanks
Thank you for watching! 🙌🙌
This is a actually a great tip
Thank you! 🙌
Major Key!!!! Dope video. Instant Sub 💯

Dope tip, this just opens a whole can
Yes it does! Lots of possibilites. Thanks for watching!
Nice, keep it up
Thanks! 🙌
Awesome 😱

Hey that’s a dope little technique to get some diff chops!
Exactly my thought! And you can do this on all MPCs the settings are just different.
@@ambrushadam i got an mpc one so I’ll be checking that out tonight! Good looking out on this one!
@@ambrushadam bro i had to come back to tell you this has been super helpful when i have any type of beat block or anxiety about cooking up. I find a decent sample and this just opens up so many more ideas and I’ve never seen this specific tip anywhere else man 👊🏾 thank you bro!
@@fade2blak91 thats great! I’m so glad this technique could help you out. Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate that 🙌😄
Dope
Thanks, I think so too ✌️
Is this a big difference from just taking the sample and using the auto chop to 16 pads?
No not really, just faster. It's really nice if you want to try out something real quick.
First MPC that you showed it's MPC 60... Not 3000 or 3000 le...
Thanks thanks namaste Haribol Asewe
Yes, you are right. But it's still a classic MPC where this technique works :)
Damn this is sick, didn't know u could do that. Have to try it!
Quick question, are u danish?
Thanks! Yeah its pretty cool 😀 I guess I consider myself norwegian-danish.
Yoo jeg er dansker selv hahah
💎💎💎
😀🙌🙌🙌
So I'm curious, what is the equivalent method on Ableton? More specifically, on the Simpler
A very good question, I don't know right now. But I kinda want to find out now that it's out there ☺
I've found a way but its not the same as the MPC... In Simpler use slice mode and set slice by to beat divisions to 16th and playback to thur.
If you have Push all 64 pads will be hi lighted which you can play using the pads. However this method is not using velocity. But hopefully you should be able to figure out some chops that work.
@@ceciliafbrown373 if I slice the 64 chops to a Midi track, velocity will automatically be available, right?
@@ezekegotbeats Have a bash & lemme know. As I mentioned I used sliced mode in Simpler.
