Thanks mate! Each song/sketch is only about 15-20 seconds on the tape. To skip between loops you use shift and left or right to go backwards/forwards along the tape. If you have a look at my channel there are a couple of short tutorials about how I build my sets and some performance techniques. Have a good one, thanks again for checking out the channel!

@@HoochMusic ok, i suspected something like that, works very well and i haven't seen anyone else doing it, great job!

Thanks Woody!

Thanks Tyler! It’s going into the mini kp2 for recording and for the filter effect. If you like this set, you might like the recent follow up too… th-cam.com/video/so0Bdcqnyls/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yIkEwKTZBjuh6Ufe

Happy to help! I haven’t done this since I made this video but I thought the latest Field update meant that you could just drag old OP-1 tape files straight into the Field now, so this step might be redundant. Could be wrong 🤷‍♂️

Thanks very much! Just the product of having a fun time haha. Appreciate the sub, I’m dropping a new set on the OP-1f soon that’s utilising the mixer a little more heavily, focused on transitions. Hope to catch ya there! 🤝

Haha thank you so much man, I loved reading this! I appreciate it heaps. Just subbed to your channel, looks like I could learn plenty from you! When I set out to create a set like this, I generally pump out 1-2 beats per day. Sometimes it takes 15 mins and everything works beautifully, sometimes I decide I’m quitting music forever because I’ve sat there for 2 hours and everything sounds rubbish 😂.

@ I laughed when I read quitting music. That’s definitely once a week for me. Well your beats are genuinely incredible so don’t ever quit. Steven’s you have a preferred machine, or is the OP1 it for you? I’ve never tried the SP-404, but I see that you use one of those as well.

@NovakTheEnjoyer thanks again man! And good question… I love using pads to perform, but I much prefer the workflow of the OP-1 and the way the sampler works just agrees with my brain 🧠 haha. The OP-XY looks amazing, but I’ve been mucking around with a new idea that I want to try first… buy a couple of old iphones, run Koala on each, control with midi pads/keys, mix between the two signals with a crossfader, record and master fx with mini kaos pad 🤔 ambitious, but I’ll report back if it works! I 3D printed my ideal sampler as a modelled prototype but I am shit at electronics so will have to settle for koala for now… How about you? Favourite piece of gear?

Thank you so much 🤗

Ahh thank you so much! Appreciate you letting me know it’s helped. Given your history, you’re probably in the same boat as me atm… Just hanging out for that op-xy 😂

@ Ha yep, preordered on day one. Excited to see how it compliments the OP-1F, I think I’m going to keep both and get rid of some of my Elektron synths to focus.

@hudhawk02 uhhh I’m jealous! Looks amazing, OP-1’s are generally not very cooperative devices in my experience but the op-xy is a totally different workflow but the looks of things. I’d be interested to hear if there is a learning curve as an OP-1 user… good luck!

😆 good advice I will let you tell everybody that haha - thank you!

No worries! Yep pretty much, but you can hold your finger down in tape made, and then change to the mixer or fx and as long as you keep your finger down you can still solo the track you want while you’re playing with fx/levels.

@@HoochMusic got it tx again.. super helpful.

No worries man, appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment 🤝. At 10:33 it looks like I’m just holding my finger down on tracks 1 and 3, so that I’m soloing the melody and the percussion. Then, I release my finger and all 4 tracks play. Maybe it sounds like a different section of the tape, but it’s the same loop but with all 4 tracks playing. If you’re referring to skipping between loops throughout a set, you hold shift and either < or >. Hopefully I’ve answered your question!

Thanks heaps, thats a fair review - my attention span tends to wane when I’m organising my sets and levelling can sometimes go out the window haha. Good feedback 👊

Hahaha farrrrrrrrr I still want it man 🤣. Thanks very much Matt!

Thanks very much mate! Yeh, the lofi 12 does it’s job brilliantly.

Great! Thanks mate, glad I could help.

Thanks Dann! 🤝

Haha thanks very much! 🤝

Hey, thank you! Here is an old break down of my process on the OG-1 with a housey sorta tune: th-cam.com/video/XZOqQ2GpxLg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JnRWN1YNWf0bl2k7 I’ll try to make a new vid on the Field soon specifically for this set. Thanks again for the support 🤝

@@HoochMusic amazing dude this is killer stuff

Yeh it’s a bit of fun!

Gday Mat, thanks very much mate! I appreciate you taking the time. 1. The power bank is just a standard airplane friendly 26000mah, generic brand. Got the 5v to 9v converter from a local electronics store but you can grab them online from myvolts. The filter was supplied by the Korg Mini Kp2. 2. Everything was recorded in one take into the mini kp2. As far as pattern transitions I just used a filter and dropped some tracks out. When I saved each song, I muted most tracks so that the transition would be less noticeable. So, I might keep track 1 (melody) and track 3 (drums) and mute the other two. Just as an example. Hope that helps mate!

@@HoochMusic really helpful thanks. Will have to give it a go sometime!

Thanks very much!

Hey, hope the video helped. I don’t think Google translated your comment very well though, I’m not sure what you’re asking 🤷‍♂️. Sorry!

Thank you! I hope you get a HD 😉📚

@@HoochMusic I have a request man can you make some more vids of live performances of this Akai MPC?

@NafezAlAtassi haha yeh man I would love to… hopefully over the next month or so I can get something together. Thanks for the encouragement 🤝

Haha it’s an OP-1, my friend - good fun 😎

Thanks Luisa 🤝 🥳

Thanks so much, Luke! 🤝

Thanks! Yeh it works fine, there is an input volume knob to adjust level. I’ve not found it great working with audio but now that MPC 3 has a linear view I expect it’d be a lot better.

Thanks man! Just went from headphone out into SP.

Very cool. I like the simplicity of your setup. We are planning a live set and this seems to be a very good starting point. Thanks for the nice set and for sharing your approach ✌️

@@daanbaas2962 oh sweet! Please link me if you ever post your set. Thanks again mate 🤝

Too kind! 🙏

Haha yeh thats my little NES Kung Fu bootleg 🥋. Thank you!

Haha yeh that part was her idea 👰

Glad to help, thanks again for jumping on the channel 🤝

Sweet! Thanks for checking it out.

That is a very good question, I actually don’t have the update yet so I can’t tell you. I’d imagine it’ll be similar though, I can’t see how an update would fix that, but I certainly hope it does!

@@HoochMusic Thank you for feedback. Did you try to use the MPC as a controller with the MPC software, use the same workflow, but with the extra computing power from your computer? Does it help to achieve a longer live session?

No worries Dorin - thank you! I would say this is definitely a workaround that would solve the problem, good thinking. I’m not really keen on using a computer if I can avoid though, so might need to keep double-tapping that stop button haha 🤷‍♂️

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it 🙏. It’s a great machine once you embrace the limitations!

@@HoochMusic Limitations are often the power to create, isn't it ;)

Haha thank you Johnny Boy! 🤝

@@HoochMusic I’m doing my first live set this Saturday with the mpc and this inspired me a lot !!

Oh nice one! If you’re structuring your set at all like mine, make sure you’re mindful of the CPU overload issues. Has happened to me at gigs more than once 😆. Have a great set!

Thank you so much! 🤝

Thanks bro 🤝

Hey, thanks so much! 🤝

Hey, got it from myvolts and the powerbank was from Kmart - got the biggest you’re allowed to take on a plane.

Haha yeh confusing I know… dude I bought it from had the yellow cover on it 🤷‍♂️. Handy device to record and a nice little filter. Thanks - the samples were all recorded in to the lofi-12. There might be a couple of factory instrument sounds that I play on the keyboard though.

🤣 yeh it’s a good place to start the journey but you’re right, it gets old haha

Thanks man 🤜🤛

Thanks very much mate! Appreciate you taking the time 🤝.

@@HoochMusic youre welcome!

Thanks so much! 🤝

Hey mate, it’s a 5v to 9v converter, so I can run it via a powerbank. This one is from a local store but you can get them from myvolts.

Glad I could help Casey, thank you!

Thanks very much! Hope it helps 😎

No worries man, hope it helps! 👊

Thanks so much!
