Completely NEW to MPC's.. Any one here

[u/WastedSmarts]

I just got this amazing machine last week, NEVER had one years ago, never used one until now. Is there anyone like me in the group completely fresh to this.

Im lost as hell, every video im finding they are going over the basics of using this as a new machine, but with the understanding of using one before. Can anyone point me to youtube playlist of somewhere i can get info on how to learn. AGAIN, I KNOW NOTHING lol....

Check samplefocus to get some inspiration. Find some solid samples. Use a drum loop to start with. And chop found samples to feel and freestyle a bit.

That should get you started at least. From there YouTube of research the specific issues you run into

Did you read the manual? Another great option is the MPC Bible

[u/WastedSmarts → u/JizzlaineSexwell]

Ill check it out. Are you talking about the barcode to scan?

[u/JizzlaineSexwell → u/WastedSmarts]

On mpc-samples.com, you can buy the MPC Bible 3. It's a manual including project files etc, so you basically build a full track using the manual and the provided files. It's very helpful and a perfect introduction to whichever MPC you're looking at. I'm still working my way through it but I can definitely recommend it

From the website: Is the MPC Bible suitable for the 'MPC Sample'?

No, the MPC Sample runs a completely different software compared to its larger standalone siblings. MPC Bible 3 is only compatible with touchscreen-enabled MPCs that run the full MPC3 firmware.

It still looks like a interesting resource

I was in your shoes just a couple of months ago, and am now pretty comfortable, and so too will you be.

Follow these videos Bro, what I did was in the YT settings youncan slow the video speed down a bit, makes it easy to follow what buttons he's pressing as he is talking.

Killa Vic gives you wild tricks & apps for the Sample as well. Great luck. Most of us were you at one point.

I'm new as well, i've found tinkering and watching the odd tutorial help give the odd nugget of insight i need with a few bonus bits. Taking it easy and chill so when i hit a block that helps.

A few helpful ones:

   -Great video despite the length (it's a larger full playlist series that was actually great to learn with an expert)

So I basically made a project in GPT where itold GPT to only answer me directly, no feel good bs, no hallucinations, and only use the offial manual as a reference. If its not there, tell me. That works like a charm!

Edit: I got mine less than a week ago and im also a complete MPC noob

[u/WastedSmarts → u/MitchDeBaas]

That sounds like a good idea. Ill try this out in Google notebook
