- Hi guys,
Here's BaBBBB episode 7. In this episode, I'll be going over what I think is the easiest and most space conservative way to make custom keygroup instruments on the MPC Live. I'll be using my Korg Minilogue XD as a sound source. Please note, this is NOT about how to use the auto sampler. I feel like there are several great videos out about that, but I haven't seen anyone going over this method, which I use the most often. I find it's the easiest way to make a simple instrument that you can save and reopen wherever you want. It also opens up the giant world of sound design options on the MPC, which I feel is one of its biggest strengths.
I appreciate all the support, and I appreciate the Paetrons more than I can say...I couldn't do this without you all.

Well done. Too many newbies don't understand 1/10th of better samplers capabilities.
much appreciated!
Great teaching style and delivery. Subscribed. Please keep these mpc tutorials coming. You are great in sharing useful insights into this awesome machine.
Thank you! So happy it helps. Im about to be back to uploading regularly, appreciate your support!!!
Great video and easy to follow! Look forward to seeing more!
Thanks! Good concise and quick. I couldn’t figure out how to separate loop start from sample start. It was driving me nuts lol.
This is my second time watching this. Really great lesson.
Very helpful, clear explanation, comprehensive view! Thanks a lot and well done!
You’re so welcome man! Much appreciated!
That intro beat is nice
Thanks man! It's from this beat tape of mine:

much appreciated!
Thank you for this!
Very helpful
Nice explanation of this man, will have a try with my Digitone!
Thanks man happy to help! get it!
Great tutorial!
Thanks so much!!!! You covered a lot of ground quickly and clearly. I got a great deal of info there. MPC world can be hard to navigate. Will subscribe. Cheers amigo!!!!!
Great vid man. I've been looking into creating realistic type instruments with keygroups. Just scrathcing the surface now, making things much more musical.
Thank you! I should have more regular uploads going forward. Really glad it helped!
Great job bro.
thank you!! hope it helped!
that was helpfull, thanks a lot !
You’re so welcome! Appreciate you checking it out 🙏
This is the best tutorial.
Thank you so much for checking it out! I'll have more coming soon, I've just been swamped. Much appreciated!
nice tutorial
Interesting subbed
How do you sample it across state an octave and then add a higher note to the next octave. I’ve heard that can make things sounds a bit better across the keys.
When you apply all your edits and effects to the sample and save it will the sample itself maintain all of the all of the modifications or will it only apply if you load it as a key group.
Bro did you just mention you want to start a napster of key groups. Question say you happen to come across a sample with various notes of the same instrument. How would you go about to to chop an assign an make a key group. How do you control the pad type. Like one shot to hold n stop, drum pad, loop pad etc. Im new to the mpc up for advice an direction.
No worries! I think I did that in my earlier vid (sample workflow) but let me check. Yeah I totally do, I’m working on how it would work but I do want to get that site going. Pad type should be on the first page of program edit for your drum program. If I had multiple chords/notes in a sample, you could just chop it where you would normally, then copy and paste multiple sets of them, then pitch them from there if that makes sense. Thanks so much man!
Thanks. Please share more please. How to assign instrument wave files to a keygroup
Thanks! Upgrading from korg esx sampler... This is how the keyboard parts work on the esx... Mono... So... Nice upgrade!
Dont know why I missed this but thank you! Appreciate you checking it out!
Ty so much
You are so very welcome! thanks for checking it out!
I've seen people do a keygroup by sampling 1 key from each octave. Do you think it makes a difference in the sound as opposed to just sampling one note?
The MPC stretches the note as you go up in octave. So, the more notes you use the more realistic the sound of the instruments. This is why Kontakt instruments are so large. They actually sample a note for every key so there is no stretching needed. So basically it is all up to individual choice how many samples you use just know the more you use the less stretching is taking place. If space is an issue using one sample allows you to have more instruments.
Can you define one sample for one octave, then another sample for a different range of the keyboard? Thanks for super detailed, clear instruction!
yes, you can assign different samples to each range, (sample group).
Im thinking of getting a minilouge do you use ot often ?
I'm even more interested in how autosampling is done from a synthesizer. When akai himself plays notes at different volume levels for each key and semelates into a group.
Hey love your video I was wondering if you do one on one lessons face time or skip and if you do what’s your price
Thank you Chris! I absolutely do, feel free to shoot me an email at DrummerMilesMusic@gmail.com and I'd love to discuss it with you. Much appreciated!
But how to put a sample in Legato mode like on the MPC plug-ins? And if you autosample how to pre listening your own sampled keygroup?
Thanks.
So there is a way to to the preview, you'll have to do it on a computer unfortunately. You can mixdown a short seq and as long as you name it all appropriately it will work. You can also either set the sample to legato or portamento mode in the keygroup settings, but if you just want more sustain you can also just stretch out your release/decay etc to get that effect. hope that helps! thanks for watching!
@@DrummerMiles yuhu. Thanks for the pre-listening help. It works. I hope much that you could make a tutorial how to set the keygroup into legato mode. There is no such setup caked legato. Thanks anyways Sir. I wish you a calm weekend.
How do you hook up the keyboard to the MPC to play the notes?
Just Usb connection, it accepts most controllers pretty easily. Thanks!
Is there a technical sampler lingo word for this technique
So if I do all of this, can I still go into Pad Perform and select different keys(from pad perform) and it still be right, or do I HAVE TO stay in the key of the note that I sampled? I am confused. example: If I drop in a one shot(C note) and turn it to a keygroup, when in pad perform if I select lets sat F min, will it be Fmin or C?
The sample will stretch it across the entire scale so you can totally use pad perform. The first issue with this method is that you tend to have a narrower range because the further away you get from the initial sample, the more artifacts will be added to the sound. The second is that to use chord trigger you'll want to actually tell the MPC what note your initial sample is. You can use a keyboard or one of the built in vsts to find the note, then just scroll to that note either on the initial sample page(theres a "note" dropdown), or on that samples "sample edit" tab. Set it to the correct note and then it will pitch it accordingly everywhere else. 👍
@@DrummerMiles Thanks for the clarity.
@@IsshmanGarcia no problem man, anytime! thank you!
Can this intricate editing and playing a sample across midi keys in octaves still possible with the MPC One?
Yes it absolutely till works on the MPC one. Button placement is slightly different but otherwise all the same! thanks!
@@DrummerMiles good might be a bit cheaper etc. I don't know I'm attracted to the speakers of the Live 2.
@@80snostalgiafan79 totally. really the only major difference is the live has a 6 hr battery onboard and space for an onboard hard drive. So if playing where you dont have power access is important or having lots of onboard storage I would go live. If not the one is virtually the same.
@@DrummerMiles it's worth a think , I like the way they both edit. I'll probably get one after I've bought a JDXi lol.
You got any key groups for sell or free
This work on mpc one?
Yep, the process is virtually the same on all new Gen MPCs. The ONE has a few more purpose made buttons, so you don't use shift as much, but otherwise its all the same 👍
Thanks
youre very welcome!
