Setup is too clean. Tutorial too good! You were born for this! I wish you had a channel dropping nothing but knowledge on the MPC X.
Many thanks for this. I couldn't have imagined muddling my way through this process using the manual, the learning curve is steep enough when you've never used an MPC.
These beats are a true masterpiece. Mind blown! 🎼💣❤
Thanks for this. I was actually going bonkers the other night trying to figure out how to convert an audio track to samples and now I know how and have a couple of new techniques to try out.
Nice one. Will rewatch more carefully as I follow along on my MPC. I like the randomization feature as it allows to keep a tight grid (and let one use note repeat/arp nicely) and a loose feel. Thanks for your content, always interesting and coming from a genuine user.
Very useful tips and tricks here, especially the randomization at the end. Thank you!
Thank you a bunch; exactly what I have been searching for!
Tefty, you are helping this MPC novice not feel like such a n00b. Thanks!
This is exactly what i need, thanks!!
Very informative 👍
Great work as usual. thanks.
Thank you sooo much, this have been a prob for me to get it to ring out! 🎉❤
nice one! thanks for posting, very clear
Great video, Tefty!
Thanks Tony!
Great content!
I finallly understood audio tracks on the new MPC.
Awesome tip. I never tried this, but imagine that using random decay could be pretty cool too!
Yeah I should've tweaked the decay in the bass example. Probably would've been interesting!
Nice video! Just wondering what is the advantage of using the looper instead of just recording a sample the standard way?
Thank you for making this video!... Do you have any advice for the MPC plugin? I have my blofeld connected similarly, except audio out of blofeld is routed to input 1 of the MPC. I get sound in standalone mode and controller mode but when used as a plugin in Ableton, I get no sound.
Hi, great video. Here is a newbie question, can I load a whole song midi file, to play along with it? (4 min song with 10 track max) Sometimes I don't want to bring the laptop to do this. Any help is welcome. Thanks
thanks ive been trying to figure this out!
any recommendations on synth wall stands like how they are mounted behind you? I have random gear and I want to pile them on my wall around my desk, various stuff like 25 key boutique size to 37 keys and grooveboxes.
Thank you!
And yeah, I have a whole video I made the synth wall behind me: czcams.com/video/vC7lBPfjal4/video.html
This method is great for space saving, but you have to drill into the wall.
Im trying to connect three synths to the mpc. BUT, I want to use each synth as its own controller. In otherwords, play each synths keybed and knobs and have the mpc play all three synths back. But I dont want to use midi thru, because i dont want to use one synth as a controller, i want to play each synth and overdub each synth at a time.
So mpc i program drums and percussion
And each synth i can play and record into the mpc.
Then play it all back. Is this possible?
Hi . Your Videos are one of my Favorit mpc Tutorials . 👌🏻
I have one question, sometimes when i try to record my waldorf blofeld into my mpc live 2 ( mostly I record it with the live 2 sampler) then when I hit record and play there is sometimes for 1or 2 secounds a crunchie /noisy sound. Do you have a idea whats the reason for this .
I think it depending on what preset i use.
Sorry for my worst english.
Peace from Germany ✌️
Thank you!
In regards to your question, I've actually never experience that before. Could it be cable noise? Crunchy noise can sometimes be noisy cable artifacts. It's possible it's a glitch in the MPC as well! 🤣 I'd definitely try a different set of cables though.
@@teftymusictech ok thx for your answer.
Next time when i run into these issues I try another cables✌️
Yeah maybe it‘s a glitch or a new free distortion plug-in😅😂
But again , I really enjoy your content , and your setup is super dope
🌞🙏
Anyone know if you create a new loop, can you key change this with a separate keyboard. Pretty much like playing chords?
I don't have the midi freak option on the midi port list, do I need to change something in the settings ? pls someone help me can't find any answers
When I resample in looper or audio track like your video, there is a small space in start position of sample so I have to trim it and re-set start position
If using an audio interface with the MPC, it adds a slight delay because theres no delay compensation like in a regular DAW. It's a bit annoying depending on the type of music you're making.
Re sample synth by sampleur and add fx in keygroup sound better and you can play it in the midi keyboard ! 😊
And save your keygroup for later ❤
I've done this in the past and while the result is usable, it's definitely not the same. For one, voice stealing has a particular sound with some synths. You also miss out on modulation routings that effect all voices through a patch being played. The biggest thing for me is tweaking a synth while it's being recorded, which is another thing you miss with pure multi-samples.
The multi-samples also take up more space in memory (if you're being meticulous) and can take several minutes to create. When I'm producing I'm going from idea to idea as fast as possible.
So while I appreciate the multi-sample ability of the MPC and have used it many times in the past, I don't see it replacing my actual synths I record.
what about using sampler to record the jam? that way you are not limited by the bars and could experiment more freely. Afterwards you can splice your best takes
Only problem with the sampler is it's not sync'd to the sequencer. Honestly, I have no idea why Akai has left this ability out for so long.
Very interested to know, does this broadly apply to the Force as well?
Unfortunately I don't have a Force so I can't say, but if the drum programs work the same, then it should. I'm not sure how it records audio though and if you can easily add a measure or two for the ring out.
It's a bit easier on the Force because length is per-clip instead of per-pattern... and there isn't a hard partition between patterns (scenes), so it's easy to let old clips keep playing while new clips are launched. In general, workarounds like this drum track technique aren't needed as often on a Force. But it's still available as an option when necessary.
@@ToyKeeper That's great info, thank you!
Saludos desde Ciutadella de Menorca, me estoy volviendo loco con mi nuevo MPC ONE y no encuentro la forma de poder lanzar los samples en la secuencia utilizando el modo "PAD Mute" sin tener que esperar a que termine los 16 compases mientras se están reproduciendo, el ejemplo es que en un pad tengo un loop wav de batería que dura 16 compases, si este pad lo tengo muteado desde que reproduzco la secuencia a la hora de activar este loop en medio del compas solo se reproducirá a partir del compas 1, ¿existe alguna forma para que pueda reproducir el sampler a partir del compás que quiera? muchas gracias !!
TRANSLATION: Greetings from Ciutadella de Menorca, I'm going crazy with my new MPC ONE and I can't find a way to launch the samples in the sequence using the "PAD Mute" mode without having to wait for the 16 bars to finish while they are playing, The example is that on a pad I have a drum wav loop that lasts 16 measures. If I have this pad muted from the moment I play the sequence, when I activate this loop in the middle of the measure, it will only be played from measure 1 onwards. Is there any way I can play the sampler from the measure I want? thank you so much !!
Wouldn't a multi-sample of that synth patch produce the same results with a bit more flexibility (except for the required space) ?. Just interested as I tend to do a lot of multi-sampling with my OG MPC One.
I find you get different results. I'm going to paste a reply I did from a previous comment on the same subject:
I've done this in the past and while the result is usable, it's definitely not the same. For one, voice stealing has a particular sound with some synths. You also miss out on modulation routings that effect all voices through a patch being played.

@@teftymusictech Good points. I hadn't thought too much about the modulation routings.
…..transients😎
Not well explained though, 4 bars, so after extending with extra2 bars so it records the fade out naturally, how does it now loop when keep it in a 4 bar loop, so that it fades out nicely and starts again, all within 4 gars, you didn't say everything obviously. Anyways
That's 100% in the video. It's literally after recording the fade out. You either didn't watch the rest of the video or completely missed the knowledge. Rewatch it at the editing the slice points and pay close attention to converting the last 2 measures into a long 3 measure slice. Then convert WITH EVENTS, pull sequence back to 4 bars, and set the new program to POLY. Again, literally all in the video.
You have so many gears and skills, why you are not the new Beethoven...
Probably because Beethoven would most likely have only composed using a piano. It is never about how much gear you have but what you do with it!
Very complicated. And all this only because AKAI MPC doesn't want to give you a linear arranger window. Who on earth will waste so much time on programming this when you have just a cheesy DAW at your side to arrange all this stuff with several clicks of your mouse?
A lot of people 😂
Personally i hate using a computer. Tried it for a year. Made 1 song and only jammed like a dozen times. It sucked for my creatively and was not fun.
I switched to grooveboxes (and eventually the MPC) and i jam out multiple times a week, usually make at least one “finished” song a month, often more.
To be fair though. The workflow shown in this video is very cumbersome and not how i go about things
It’s a workflow thing. I make mostly all different types of hip hop and it’s amazing for that. When you really start to learn more of its features and get them down the workflow speeds up tremendously. I can knock out 3-5 beats an hour, not necessarily mixed to perfection that quick but composed and sequenced completely 10-20 minutes a production. He’s going slow to show everyone
I agree, in principle, with what you're saying. But personally, I've gotten much more real music done with my MPC one in the five months since I bought it than in the last six years using my very capable and fully loaded DAW. That's because the MPC one is more immediate. You start it up and just go. It feels like I'm picking up my guitar to just play. The DAW requires too much intellectual attention and sucks a lot of the creative energy away. But that's just me. Everyone has a workflow that works for them.
No, you're totally right. These little machines give you direct approach with your hands on the pads. It is a big neglected point that you can hold a MPC in your hands like an instrument. You can't wrap your hands around a monitor, nor around a laptop. This is the only reason people still buy these "grabable" machines. @@incaroads001
Don’t wanna be in front of windows or Mac 😬 and I think dawless sounds better. Just my opinion. I spent a few years in IT, just for context. I will say I think windows and Mac OS’s are on the whole good and arguably the best software to do what they do. I just can’t stand using them for anything, let alone music, maybe just for the mastering if I was to do that. As long as we are all making music somehow, it’s a win/win for all and I will admit that these different methods are definitely driving innovation today. And I think that’s the point, we all have a choice how to make the music, according to our preferences. Top Of The Pops here I come. Thank god Savile won’t be there 😂
I hate this
why?
He said the solution is simple and then proceeds to explain for 20 mins. I already struggle with mpc workflow. The deluge is more my speed.
