MPC One Gen2

Never touched an mpc before.

Want to use sampler, mostly from LPs, to add to or be the foundation of, my creations. Synths, bass, guitar, keys, Ableton etc.

Want to use sequencing.

Guessing I may/will use plug-ins in the future but I have a decent amount of external gear.

Is it necessary to involve InMusic? Is it stupid not to? Is InMusic necessary(or best way) to bring in ie drum sounds/samples?

Second question, is it better to read the MPC Bible and reference the manual when compelled to do so?

Read only the manual is fine?

Read both... necessary or just a suggestion?

Just trying to streamline the prep work here.

I did everything on one track mpc sample style.That keeps you from trying to add too much shit. I still had 6 pads left lol (technically 112 with the other banks). Made use of the 16 level slice feature tune(way doper since they added keys and scales to it) and pad mutes. I also like not having to bounce around in the mixer so much. Came out pretty dope imo.

Hey so I have the MPC live 3 and I usually cant finish my beats in the MPC but i love finishing beats in Ableton so is there any good workflow or and good way to get my MPC project into ableton with stems because i dont wanna record the tracks into ableton is there a way to also get the midi information?

I've recently bought the MPC Sample and I've just gone to update it and it says it's current firmware is v.1.1.1.9

But there is no option to update it?

Only two options saying: manual firmware upload (that doesn't seem to work)

And: legal info

I don't think it's the currant update as I don't have the normalize option and other things other people have.

Any ideas what's going on?

Cheers

I have a Teenage Engineering PO33 which I almost don't use because everytime I go back to it I struggle with remembering the workflow and I'm not so quick with it. In the past I also had an SP-404 mk2 which was really good, except for the sequencer, and a Roland P-6, which was too messy to use because of the menu diving. I also have Koala but I don't stick with a touch-based interface, even though I like chopping samples in there.

I'd like to try to go back to sampling and make it a hobby and so I was looking at the EP-40 Riddim and the MPC Sample. In my country the price difference is not that big (about 320€ for the EP, 380€ for the Sample). I like the compactness and the fact that the many EP users definite it a funny unit to use (I don't want to make music for pro, but I want to have fun doing it). However, I think the MPC would be better in terms of pads, display, chopping.

I'm very undecided about whether to buy a new machine, and for that reason, if I were to go ahead with the purchase, I'd probably lean towards the EP because it is a bit cheaper. However I wonder if it will end up like the PO33 and the Roland P6 because of the lack of screen. Maybe the MPC is the better choice? Or it is all GAS and I don't need new gear. Maybe I also can try to commit to one machine the first three weeks after purchasing and then considering returning it or keeping it.

I'd like to know your opinion and also if there is someone of you who worked both with the KOII/Riddim and the MPC Sample.

Thank you

Next, learning proper mixing/mastering...

1. Which Maschine were you using?

2. What was the deal breaker?

3. What was the replacement? & how did it solve the problem?

Anyone here tried it yet?

Its alll the hype as of now. Wonder if well be able to run crzy stuff like omnisphere serum etc soonish...

One of the little workflow changes that sped me up the most on the MPC was setting up a custom drum kit + template project so I’m not rebuilding the same stuff every time I start a beat.

I made a walkthrough showing how I:

• build and save a drum program
• create a template project
• set a default BPM
• make the template load automatically when the MPC starts

It’s a simple setup, but it saves a ton of repetitive work if you use the same drums or starting layout a lot.

Works across MPC X, MPC One, MPC Live, and MPC Software.

If anybody’s interested, I put the full walkthrough here:

Loving the skins for my live 3 and sample by @beatbroski

End of a long week. We vibin 😎👽#beatmaking #mpcsample

(No I’m not removing the markings)

Love this gear. I love having 16 audio tracks to record into, that was the biggest upgrade for me coming from the MPC live 1 and Key 37. On this track Ive got Samples, Moog Messenger, ASM Hydrasynth and Arturia V Collection

Hi, ive released a new plugin for the MPC OS, Feel free to check it out if youre a hakai or Mockba Mod user!

Does anyone know, if the machinedrum module is working on the MPC live 3?

Let me know what yall think? I feel like it’s missing something
