Takes me back. When I was in high school me and some friends formed a hip-hop group. But being teenagers we couldn't afford equipment, so we started using this. We would often get compliments on our beats. Most thought we were using a drum machine and we often kept the secret of us using a ps1 to make beats. But this software was a God send, it allowed people who couldn't afford drum machines to make music and express themselves. I really hope Playstation makes a modern version of this for this generation. It's really good for beginners or anyone that can't afford studio equipment.
Yup..That would be dope if Play Station made a new version.
I got a local record deal producing from the catalog of beats i made on this thing in 2002. I was on my "5 beats a day for 3 summers" shit with it!!
Nice.
I made doe from mtv music generator 2. I still got the game to keep me grounded n remember where I came from
Produced an entire album with this.. everyone in my city bought this game after they heard my beats but none could use it like me... sold enough beats using just this to buy my fantom s... still have alot of the beats I made using this and I never met anyone who could touch me
Nice.. a Fantom..You was making money.
I would love to hear something you made using the music generator. It was my first daw
@@TheNumbasign2 @dyreckproductions this entire album and I got better quality ones still on soundclick🤣
czcams.com/video/z5zobuZZVAg/video.html
@@Cammo13 Oh ok Nice yah was flowing on Lost Soul!
@@DyReckProductions preciate it.. it holds alot of sentimental value because me and my best friend started it. We just wanted to rap and I got music generator just to give us beats to rap on,but anyway 2 months ago he passed and im fucced up behind that. This album meant alot to both of us
This is how I started out! I used hook up the PlayStation outs to the in on my cassette deck and make mixtapes.
I feel you..My boy used to bring me his beat cassettes he made on the Playstaion and I would transfer it to CD.
Same here
This was my first DAW. Stil 🧠❤️🔥💯
Man. This thing ain’t no joke. I still have my beats saved in the memory card.
I actually made a mixtape from the beats off this lol
Dope!
throw it up on a youtube :)
@@joegreco947 man this was about 20 years ago lol. I wish I still had those cassette tapes though
2022 and i still sit here on music 2000
Nice!
Im from puerto rico and one of the biggest producers who work with daddy yankee and all the current reggaeton and trap stars started whit this game his name is musicologo
Oh ok cool!
My very first daw. I used to import sounds and samples through CDs and save on the memory cards
Wow..., I had this on the PC. I still have the disc and case. I had a lot of fun using it.
Yeah the PC version was popular too.
Maaaann so many memories...I appreciate the structure and foundation this program created for me. I remember havin all these memory cards and tryna remember what beats I had on each of em lol
Lol I feel u.
Man I still got my box of memory cards. I labeled them by the genre or projects I was working on. Had to burn them straight to CD with the old CD duplicator. Those were the days
Every time you get excited I remember that commercial SNAAUSAGES!!!!!!!
Lol.
🤩 Who else thought they were about to be Just Blaze/Kanye when they got this???
Lmao!
This came out in 1999? I didn't even know this existed. In '99 I was in college and had a cassette 4 track, a Boss Dr. 660 drum machine (I still have those btw), a Roland XP-10, and a computer running Windows 3.1 under DOS with a Yamaha SW60XG and Soundblaster soundcards. I used a DAW midi sequencer by Voyetra called Digital Orchestrator Plus as the centerpiece for the whole rig. This was my first decent production setup which I started putting together my senior year in high-school through my freshman year of college. I then added an E-MU ESI2000 sampler to the setup around late 2000.
I got a laptop and I found out about FruityLoops 3 a year later and it put all of that to shame sound quality-wise. Lol.
By the time I finished school and got a good paying job, it was ova!!! I did a massive overhaul/studio hardware upgrade a couple of years later (circa 2003). I've spent alot of money, learned alot, and made a lot of music over the years. I'm still at it til this day.
Nice you got alot of music production experience..With very unique pieces of gear..You should do some tutorials if you still have the gear..that would be cool.
I used the optical out on my ps2 to record to MiniDisc and then convert to other formats with iTunes
It was so fun. I also made my first 'album' on MTv MG. I was into something like trip hop and weird sounds. I learned how to sample music from CDs (just some seconds), but I can't save on memory cards (due to the size), then I made a 'mechanism' to record the music into k7 tapes. Sounds horrible, but that were my "babies", ugly, but mine, hahahaha! Lately I bought the original PC program made by the same game developer called Jester. Couldn't move a single note without joystick!
Yeah the MTV Music Generator was ahead of its time!
I still have the album that I made with it and I sold a bunch of tape copies back then. Now I've put it in protools and mastered it for safe keeping as my first album.
Nice!
You are absolutely right. In the early 00s when I was a teenager and using ACID loops almost entirley (I knew how to play piano but wasn't in my beats yet) and still I sold Beats to people I knew for $50 each, and yes they put up the money because in their minds just like you said they thought of it as an investment required for them to 'hit it big.' Since I've become an adult and making quality, self-composed beats? Nope, can't sell my beats ha
I remember in 1998 , my ex bought me Magix DAW from Best Buy. My Pentium PC couldn't handle it. Then a few years later, I bought ACID and Sound Forge by Sonic Foundry from Best Buy and a 32 meg PC. I loved it. Oh at the same time, someone gave me a copy of Fruityloops 1. This was 2002. I was proud of that setup.. finally I had a multitrack recorder.
Nice.
Please keep making these videos. This is history.
Thanks bro!..I appreciate it!
I've sampled few of my favourite sounds from music 2000 - "boosted" kick , "fizz" hardsynth, animal sounds. Sample library on this thing was unique as was the ability to load 11k, 22k , 44k samples. Reminds me of emu proteus sounds. It also had fully functional audio editor! The only problem was custom samples would take up to much space on memory cards.
I've become a producer because of this game.
Word!..This was a dope intro to production.
I see there is someone that knows what I know. How deep did you dig into the audio editor? I was able to make screaming lead guitar riffs because of the audio editor!
I'd like to hear what you have done.
Forced you to be Creative............. I still got mine and bout 30 memory cards full of beats👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice.
facts me too rns
I started with this. Still have my tapes and memory cards. Saved right to cassette. Thank you Codemasters/Jester
Lol. I feel u .
I am so hype you did this video man. This is where it all started for me. When I figured out how to sample with this I discovered the art of digging. CD's or vinyl, its all the same man, I would love to get another copy of this.
Thanks fam..I think the got the game on some of the free Playstaion game emulators out there.
@@DyReckProductions yeooo... I gotta check that out, it would be great to revisit those days.
Codemasters was the Game Genie guys! 7:25 What’s with that headgear? There’s a dude with weird goggles on the Xtreme Lead 1 manual, too! I blame that guy from Crystal Method who put headphones over his eyes.
Got a gold plaque off of this 😍
Oh ok dope!..Im checking your stuff now..Nice!
it amazes me how almost all of his videos have 100 likes to 0 dislikes, that just goes to show that despite this being a small creator the quality is still there
Thanks fam I appreciate it.
I started out with vol.2 for about 9 months until I got a Boss DR-202 then SP-505, MPC-1000, Proteus-2000...on & on now with the Force, but this was the foundation. But because I didn't have an MIDI keyboard I always felt off when using it especially when trying to jam out melodies on a PS controller...not cool.
Knowing what I know now I've been tempted to get it again just to see what I could do now 20 year later...nice little side project.
Peace from Harlem NYC!
No doubt fam!..I feel you on that. NYC!!
Darn, I didn't have this but a 15 min demo of some game that I would play over and over making random beats when I was younger
Oh ok cool.
made entire tracks on this back in the day loved it
Nice!
Bro before i ever got my equipment this was soo fun man. My boys always bring this back out of the memory banks. “Remember when you made beats on the ps?” It was fun it teaches you arrangement. And matching sounds. It was dope! Thanks for these flash backs bro. Love your channel. Keep them coming!!
Thanks bro..Alot of producers started out on this game.
This was my gateway into making beats. It was dicking around on this and then on Acid. It wasn’t until I got Reason that it really started to click. Also please do a video on Reason.
No doubt fam.
YES 😁😁😁 I still use it till this day and Magix Music Maker PS2
This where Fruity Loops comes from
Oh ok nice.
I made my first album with it and I still have it. I remember hooking up the PlayStation audio out to record the music onto a tape with a karaoke machine and that's how I made my beats tape.
Mann we had to struggle to make things happen back in the days Lol!
Found a mint condition copy for my PS1 at the Goodwill in Tampa for $1.00 a few weeks ago. It literally looks like it was opened and never used lol Needless to say, I grabbed it because I would be dumb not to.
Played the demo back in the day and loved it.
Nice!!
i made 3 instrumentals, that stilll haunts my memories..... I coulda been rich
I never had this but I heard so much about it.
Yeah it was pretty dope..Alot of folks got introduced to music production on this video game.
My bro had this, while I was on Hip-hop Ejay. Our music was trash but we was working hard tryna be super producers lol
Lol. I feel u alot of people started on this..The beats weren't the greatest but they were raw lol.
Man. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this. Got my basics in on Garage Band and Reason.
Yeah..This was a lowkey gem back in the days.
I had the Music Generator back on my PSX at the turn of the millennium. Now, I have the Korg Gadget on my Switch. :)
Nice!
ps1 was my first hardware for music MTV music generator was my first software for music
Nice!
You can actually download the entire sound library of the Music Generator
Oh ok cool!
This was literally my introduction to music production. I didn’t realise it was called something different in the states though. I only know it as “music 2000” and I spent hours on it making crappy tracks lol 😂
this so cool i never heard of it but will for sure buy this. still have my ps1 in storage
Oh ok nice!
I had this. It was ahead of its time
Yeah it definitely was.
MG3 was the wave its where i started i made the dopest sampled beats . Produced 3 mixtapes off it
No doubt.
I swear this channel is the story of my life past 20 years lol ! So much of this gear I owned at one time or used at someone else’s place…. I started making beats in 1999 as a high schooler with MTV music generator . Then a few years later I used PS2 MTV Gen 2 (w funk master flex intro 😂) .
Yup!..I remember Flex was on one of them.
Wow Codemasters?? The racing game company? Interesting. I would’ve loved this as a kid.
I wish I knew about this when I was growing up.
Lol!
I used to rock TF outa this back in the day,
I legit SYN just found my old dusty physical copy of this literally just a few days ago, but don't have a PS1 anymore.
Is there potentially a FN straight AF PS1 emulator that can do this justice?!!
FYI,
I'm a former published ASCAP union card carrying artist circa early 2000's sitting in front of a pair of Kali Audio monitors w/ a Focusrite 18i8.
Ha!
I feel you..There got to be a PS1 emulator out there that can do the job.
@@DyReckProductions I had one on a pre-Mac OSX iMac that was rather good way back. Gonna see what my i73770/GTX750ti Win10 PC will suss out! Ha!
Although the PS1 version was the most well known, a PC version exists, which makes it way easier to use, and you can export your songs to the .WAV format, unlike the PS1 version, where everything is saved on the memory card.
Oh ok cool.
blast from the past this, I remember it coming out and it being as good as dance ejay or rave ejay from the pc, and think wow how they manage to pack this into a ps1 game, as for thinking it was called something else that's likely to do with region uk was called music and I believe they made a second called music 2000, the us region was called MTV music generator
Yup!
I remember that, still have a song I made on it.
Nice.
I used to know a dude way back when that made beats using this thing. He used to shop them out to whatever rappers he could find. Every time you stopped by dudes place he'd be on the playstation making beats. Dude was proud of it too he would tell people he made beats on a playstation and they had the exact reaction you described in the video. I don't remember if dude's beats were bad or good. They just sounded like a PlayStation instrumental to me but dude was cocky asf and used to talk hella sh*t about how good he was. I don't know what happened to ol' dude but my guess is he jumped out a window after FL came out...or he's sitting somewhere in Grandma's basement with his PS1 making beats still.
Lol. You never know he might own a studio somewhere and still be on that play station banging out beats.
Damn i was like 7-8 when it came out! was playing spyro and other games haha knew about music prod at 13 with fruity loops haha
So glad you did a video on this. What would the closest thing to this as far as equipment? I use virtual dj to chop and recreate loops, then overloop them over and over. I need something I can chop or load samples with, and an organizer that creates my samples into usable segments like this game does. It needs to be stand alone as well. I need to not have to use the computer. Would the Akai live 2 be my best bet, or would there be something simpler, or cheaper?
You can definitely do it with any of the new MPC's Its a much different workflow though..The music generator definitely has a classic daw workflow.
I made a whole album wit this I miss the sounds it had
Nice.
Lol I remember when this product came out. I never owned a copy though. I was messing around with Sony Acid and HipHop Ejay around that time right before using Fruity Loops as my tool of choice
Acid pro was and still is my joint lol.
I knew several dudes who would bring their beats out when were were hanging out, anytime i heard an ejay loop i called them out lmao
@@DyReckProductions I wonder if Sony still make Acid software...I’m bout to Google it right now lol
@@KainThaBrain Nah a company called Magix took over there ok but still got some ways to go.
Same but Ableton is where it’s at
The music generator was definitely dope. It's not everything for everybody but nothing is.
Too many people think that their equipment is gonna be some kind of magic wand that will somehow take their wack garbage and miraculously change it into something worth listening to. It won't.
With that being said, given some practice and some dedication just about anything will work to make beats.
Yeah fam..I feel u.
I recognize that synth pad. It was in Reason 2's chords and stabs sample folder for the NN-19. I wonder what synth it originally came from?
Oh ok cool!
Yeah. I remember when this came out. When I figured out how to use the Piano Roll it was a wrap for me. I was making crazy beats. I still have some on my old memory card somewhere. Legend has it that Image Line was actually inspired by this software to create Fruity Loops.
Oh ok Nice.
We actually have MG2 and a PS2 at the studio. It's been a few beats made with it lol. But it often gets pulled out to sample a sound out of it.
Oh ok dope!
Damn this was my introduction to making beats, i used to skip school just to make beats on this
Lol I feel you.
When you get to a certain point... it boils down to the restrictions. Not quite enough equalizing tools... time differences... the cd record feature being too much for the memory card... etc
Yeah..I feel you.
Nice learned something new
Thanks fam.
Great job dyrek !!! I love your vids I never owned one of these but cool to know TY 💯
Thanks fam.
Fun fact.. Big Krit started his music production career on this videogame
Oh ok.
i had that. got it for 20$ at the phoenix flea market in 99. i wish i still had it.
I feel u.
All of Dubstep was started by Skream and Benga on one of these IIRC
Oh ok.
I used to have a homie who made the illlest beats off this. All the other homie were making beats on gear he came in with a cassette of beats he made in this. Those beats were insane!
I feel you.. My boy made some tracks we recorded on this also.
hip hop ejay next!
No doubt..Putting that on the list.
Dope track at the end. Back in the day my son was making serious beats with the generator.
Thanks..Oh ok Nice.
i still got mines for ps2
Nice.
I remember I was at work and my homie Willie was telling me he made some beats. I was like what you make the on, He said a Playstation I was like bullshit .. Anyway the next day he showed me the cd and i brought it lol ... Although I had professional stuff like Sp12 and Akai S950 I would pump out beats on that jawn ..
This was the start of my musical journey. Taught me how to structure and layer. Especially in a time where all the beat machines were very expensive for a kid still in school
I feel you.
Love your enthusiasm man! Big nostalgia factor in this one. MTV Music Generator really made you feel like you knew your shit haha
I feel u.
Track at the end was fire
Thanks bro.
I still git this
Nice.
This was technically my first "daw" and "sampler". It was sooooo much fun! Made so much weird crap.
Lol.Nice.
What's happening DyReck I am just now looking at this video concerning MTV Music Generator. I STILL HAVE ONE to this day...no lie, and listened to some of old music I made from this last night
Thank you for putting this up..
Peace Brotha'...
Bet you some of them joint's still go hard right? I listened to a couple old beats my boy made on the generator and they still hit.
@@DyReckProductions you are right my brotha'...if you are interested i could send you a couple..i just need to figure out how to do so....peace
@@indianman34 No doubt fam.
@@DyReckProductions do you have an email or another social media page like FB, I could send the tracks to, or this page sufficient...?
@@indianman34 You could send it on here.. Check the about section.. I be switching up emails sometimes lol.
Wow!!!
Word!
I kno Im not the only one who took their TV and Playstation one to the Studio with Music Generator
Lmao!
where it all started for me
I feel u.
Dang I never heard of this.. well we didn't have cable in 99'
Yeah alot of young cats first started on this.
I wish i couldve played this game but i def played frequency for ps2 that game was fun as hell and it was easy to make beats
Yeah the Generator as nice.
I played the shit out of this as a kid, and #2 on the PS2. I even had a kid on my bus in high school who recorded a rap CD with beats he made on this game
Nice!
Still got mines 👊🏾🤣
Nice!
I learned how to make beats on MTV Music Generator 2.
Nice!
I still use this sometimes. I'm just learning how to use the AM channel and sample editor in it because there are some features I still don't understand. There's even a Discord server for Music 2000 PS1 now.
Oh ok nice!
I made some bangers on music 2000 when I learnt how to sample it was a wrap people couldn't believe I using a playstation to make the tracks I was making I was one those cats selling playstation beats
Nice.
Music 2000 was my first DAW that I used back in 1999. I had a MPC2000 at the time and I didn't bother to learn it as I could do so much with Music 2000 and a DJX keyboard going into a Fostex DMT8 hard disc recorder and analogue mixer, that I was good with those two as my production instruments. I moved to Reason a few years later but I'll always have love for my first DAW
I feel you..You still have your 2000?
@@DyReckProductions no. I sold the 2000 in the year 2000. I swapped a S2000 sampler that I never used which I had since back in 1998 for a MPC2000XL last year so I have the upgrade
@@RoomAtTheTopStudio Oh ok cool.
I knew this kid that was a BEAST on this software!!!
Oh ok nice..You could make some dope tracks on it.
I first wanna thank you and say MUCH RESPECT for this video post. I started making music on MTV music generator 1 for ps1 and I made EVERYTHING from scratch I even sample my own drums at times the sequencer and piano roll was indeed gladiator school for me until I started using FL studios and waaaaay waaay before I had a MV 8800 or the mpc 2500 or the live I started with the Generator making hip hop something from completely NOTHING and we (me and my team 730) ALWAYS TOOK IT SERIOUSLY AS MUSIC SOFTWARE AND NOT A GAME!!! I still have it with most of my memory cards I have heat on there that can compete with my work off the mpc it was a GEM for it's time and I appreciate EVERYTHING you said I agree with one thing I don't miss is how it used to freeze up and you would loose EVERYTHING smfh felt like being shot or losing a loved one smfh but other than that I was grateful to have had it and learn too bad I was never heard or discovered because my beats were crazy in there people wouldn't believe that's what I was using i still have it I never used any of the automated loops always mad my own if you sample at 11 Hz it's more weak of a sample rate but you get more sample time than 22hz or 44hz you can sample at 11hz and normalize it lol peace
Oh ok nice..Its good that you guys took it serious as a professional piece of gear..which it was..Alot of folks learned music production on this game.
@@DyReckProductions facts we ALWAYS did still do that's what hip hop is all about MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING !!!! peace my brotha 💪👑✌💯👐👉🎼🎶🎵💛
@@1234DLTS No doubt fam Peace.
I still have this in mint condition!!!
Nice!
Yep, been using this since late 1999....and yet, to this day, I still cannot play one real instrument or make music with any other program. Over the years, using this, I have made 57 tracks that I deem good enough to put out to the world....but not even for sale. In the process of running them through a mastering program for that extra pop and hope to at least put it all on my youtube channel soon. Its just over 5 hours worth. I don't have a huge following, so I expect like 10 people to maybe listen to any of it. Still so thankful for this "game" (as I call it with quotation marks), as its the only way I've been able to make any type of music.
Do it fam!..Put it out!...Just let everyone know in the title you made it with the Music generator you'll get some love..There are folks still looking to get this.
@@DyReckProductions It would be cool to get a lot of listeners. Wouldn't be making a thing off any of it. Just to know that all the work over the years was worthwhile. I don't plan to add the video from the game to every song, since that would take a LONG time, and a few I do not have anymore...so making up backgrounds with some of the songs and mixing to make it interesting.
@@Jedimichael Go for it!
@@DyReckProductions Its up and live. That sure was a TON of work actually.
The generator was serious 💯🔥🔥
Yup.
This was the ish for me. They even had a music video mode to add a video to your track. It was a dope game. Many hrs and memory cards used for this thing.
Yeah the music video mode was cool to sync your beat to the music..It was pretty innovative for 1999.
Still got the small ps1 with the screen and a copy of generator just in case 😂😂
Nice!
