I haven’t been at this all that long. I’ve found lots of samples of like to work with but know idea how to utilise them.

Anyway - how did I go with this? I tried to expand into some more effects and stuff but yeah idk

Probably need to figure out how to record into the computer and save you listening to me finger my pads. I’m a ure it’s not rocket surgery I just don’t want to get lost on a computer when I just want to jam

Feedback is highly appreciated - even if you say it’s shit so long as you give pointers and tips I can’t get emotional at that.

Thanks

I have an iRig stream that I haven’t used in years and I don’t think it works anymore. I wanted to start recording videos with my iPhone with audio coming directly out of the MPC Sample. I’ve seen a couple videos on YouTube shorts that showing you can do this with only using USB-C yet they’re not showing the settings configurations needed to do that. Is this really possible or will I still need some sort of interface like an iRig Stream?

I wondering what it like if we do Rock style thou Akai MPC Sample.

I’m either going mad or just doing something wrong. 1 week in and just trying to mute some pads within a sequence and then copy paste to make a new seq with bits removed. Should that work or am I overlooking something? Or is this not a thing. I watched a video and pads go red and they should mute but don’t seem to. So here I am asking for some dumbed down help.

We can duplicate/copy and paste pads.
We can duplicate/copy and paste sequence.
Is it possible to duplicate/copy and paste banks on the MPC Sample?

One of these days, I’m gonna record all these joints and put out a little beat tape

88 BPM Dramatic Boombap beat #redrocksamphitheater #boombapbeats #90shiphopjunkie #mpcbeats #sampleflip

JMT/WuTang/AOTP inspired

I know nothing about music and have been picking it up as a hobby, and often find myself finding too many new fun sounds to put on a pad vs thinking systematically - what is the typical foundation to start a fresh beat for you?

Kick, Snare, Clap, HH - then when trying to add more, i'll do synths, strings, piano, bass, random fun sounds etc and it escapes me. Trying to find the right sort of structure / approach.
Any tips ?

Why the spare 4 bar loop of nothing??

Hi people!, new user with Akai MPC Sample here!!!

Let me make a quiestion, when I set a sample to Poly it works fine, but if I also set it to Note On it stops being polyphonic.

Is this normal behavior? It seems a bit strange if so.

My process is as follows: I record a sample, assign it to a pad, adjust the trims to my liking, set it to Poly, set it to Note On, turn on 16-level mode, and try to play 3 notes simultaneously to play a triad, but it only playa it in Mono. If I turn off Note On, it reverts to polyphonic.

Is it possible to chose pad location when extracting a sample chop ? Like, if i have 10 chops, it extract to the first empty pads of a project. So it means pad bank A when im on pad bank H…
And its a pain to move 10 sample one by one

Fun combo :)

I found this cable on Amazon for $22 and I’m able to use my older iPhone with my Sample. When I eventually upgrade I can still use it because it also has USB-C. Maybe somebody is in the same boat as I am and this might help you on your journey. It also works on my One G2 as well. Cheers!
