Does saving a preset this way save to the internal memory?
Did you get anything beyond the keyboard and octave buttons working alongside the MPC (transport/arp etc). I would be interested in what your setting were if you did. Thanks.
What we're the drums called that you used for this?
Niiiceee!!! What guitar samples did you use mate?
Thank you I am glad you liked it. I used the Session Guitarist - Picked Acoustic from Native instruments.
Where did you get those acoustic
Hey @cyb I used one of the Stock Drum Samples that came with the MPC One +. It is called the Acoustic Fat Kit
Wow, super easy, all u need is to be able play u the piano, hold my beer I'll be back in 5 years,.
Honestly You can play most songs in your first year if you put in 1 - 2 hours a day. I mean for me practicing was fun but unless you don't like to practice piano then hey the MPC has a pad perform note mode so you can at least hit some notes while being on KEY!!!!
Nice 👌
Hey Thank you!!!!!!!
Now I would like the MPC to record all in C, then I play on stage I want to use any chords and the MPC should follow my chords. Is this possible? If not, this is just a sequencer...
Yeh the MPC has a chord mode with a few chord variants to select from so you can absolutaly play the chords LIVE with a single pad as well as picking the scale and scale type like blues, natural minor and even dorian and Flamenco. I believe my recent videos shows this off. This video right here kinda just shows a fun gimmickey way to play on the MPC.
@@ChunkySq I just bought the MPC and really like this. But it's also complicated, e.g. finding volume sliders after STEMS is difficult and sometimes these sliders don't work. But I'll learn.
Great work, thanks for putting this together.
Hey I apreciate it and i am glad you found it useful. That mean sa lot
Niicceeee. I always loved this machine but I didn’t think composing melodies/bass lines would be possible. Shiddd now I know.
All I love doing is melodies so I force this son of a MPC to do exactly that. The Beat making process is also really nice since I am a newbie when it comes to drums.
Shut the front door! 1357 !!!!! I never knew 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Subscribed
Haha I know its so simple. Just adding an extra note but gives the chillest vibes. Glad you liked it
Skillz
Hey Thank you Cape :)
@@ChunkySq Capeesh 🤌🏾
Has a chiptunes vibe to it
ha interesting. I was inspired by 80s japanese synthwave like Bay city. Obviously very different but I like a lot of people gets different unique vibes
Dope!!
Thank you Doco!
Does that old dude get busy on the MPC? He looks like hes handling his business!! 😮
old dude gets hella busy on my MPC! he's my ghost producer
@@ChunkySq yo that's ill!!! Rock rock on!!
Good job dude ! I subscribed !🎉
Hey thank you for subscribing
Nice side chaining, adds pulse and motion.
Thank you!
Is it necessary to know how to play piano for the mpc ?
No but a Chunky Squirrel might visit you at night in a Paralysis demon form asking you "why havent you learn how to play piano on the MPC"
, that sound like Street fighter... video games
Thank you for the feedback. I am not familiar with street fighter music but I will give it a listen since this seems to be similar
Dope!!!
Thank you!
bro ur funny af 😂 awesome tips
Hey I apreciate it. ILl try to keep the tips pcoming
Beautiful track and amazing video! Hoping to see more in the future
Thank you! Yes I think I like to make these kind of videos. Sadly they take a while to make but hopefully I can squeeze these out twice a month and maybe one day once a week
@@ChunkySq sounds good
Yo bro is hype only in stand-alone or is it for the software too?
@jessestevens460 when you buy a plugin you get both standalone and vst for your daw. But I have yet to figure out to get the plugins that already come with the mpc for software use. So far just standalone. I bought the stage piano and jura and I have it both for standal9ne and software. HYPE nope just standalone.
@jessestevens460 for now I am just recording the audio from mpc to ableton like a synth
@@ChunkySq good looking out on that one. I joined you so If you get it to work I would know.
Dope
@shawnparker457 thank you 😊
I like that.. it was Dope ✊🏾
Kameeeeee
The Drake pic after saying “natural minor” is crazy bro 🤣🤣🤣 love it
;) me putting a drake pic when I say Minor chord? pffff of course not
@@ChunkySq really corny but what do I know.
How did you change the knobs
Both knobs I got from Amazon. The silver knobs are guitar knobs and those knobs are universal fit. The mpc knobs you can just yank out amd these new knobs you need to tighten a screw. You should be able to find these knobs if you type in a keyword like "guitar knobs" or "MPC knobs" in amazon
Nice one. Showed lots of tricks and hacks. Keep'em coming ❤😊🎉
You got it? Hopefully there is enough lemon to squeeze out of the mpc
Perfect mix of music and memes. Realy like the New format
Danke Schon Matteo dal Bosco
Can multi-samples of a piano be imported into the mpc one plus, and each sample of the piano be assigned and velocity-layered to its respective note? I already have samples of yamaha c7 and steinway model d pianos. If the samples can be imported and assigned and layered, there's no need for me to buy the stage piano plugin.
Yeh You can import a one hit sound of a piano and do a keygroup chromatic to make the rest of the notes. Or import an individual sound of each note. TO be honest it sounds like a lot of work and if you use the keygroup chromatic route the notes will sound warped. Each note will have the velocity input for soft and hard playing. THe HYPE plugin has a piano preset called pop ambience that sounds nice as an alternative
@@ChunkySq Thanks
yesss i love this so much
Haha thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed oit
@@ChunkySq yesss
Almost didn't watch this one because it was made for dummies. Nonetheless I like what you did with the sample and your drum selection is dope! Salute!
Yeh I need to take a "how to make youtube titles for dummies" course. That means a lot thank you. Everyother MPC video on YT is about chopping so I apreciate you liked this one
Newly subbed! This was really refreshing to watch. Appreciate your technique and the breakdown for us. The little part about the 'blue' notes was the real gem! Salute!
Thank you. I am glad you liked it. I try to throw in refreshing tips that dont see the light of day on youtube.
Where did you get the knobs from?
I got them off of amazon. If you search "MPC Knobs" or "Guitar Knobs" on amazon you will find a huge selection on sizes and colors for knobs. All if not most should fit since the knobs can adjust.
I use that same technique flicking between on the note repeats 👍🏻 Nice one.
Yes man! This is absolute fire! Beautifully played on the keys! “Let’s have a toast 🥂” 🔥
"For the DouBajes. Lets have a toast for the gasholes"
Dope work man, love it! I’m more regularly boom bap or maybe a bit of dnb but been messing with the Jura plugin a lot recently, feel inspired to do some synth-wave type stuff soon. Keep up the creativity 🔥
Great fun isn’t it! Welcome to the Mpc world. Can see your already at a good musical level especially keys which will play in nicely to what ever plug in used. Melodies, groove, swing 🔥
Mpc world is unexpectedly fun. I. Had my doubts being a abmlet9nn purist but this is just to much funn
Good informative video man. Often I’ll sample and chop up for my melodies but I find nothing better than improvising and playing it out on notes to get a specific vibe. The MPC range (I’m on Mpc Live) are so much more than a drum machine, practically limitless what you can create with these. Keep up the tutorials 🔥
You got it. Similar tutorial dropping this week
@InsideOutBeats improvising is the best thing that I ever picked up. I think without improvising I would have not enjoyed the MPC as much. Luckily there are a lot of tools in the mpc that allows improvisation. This is great since I come from a piano background
Too fast for teach. I regret. Thank You.
What do you regret? also are you saying I teach too fast? THank you for watching and leaving a comment :)
You said from scratch but you using a loop.. so I'm guessing you should change the title to half n half lol
You mean a pre-made loop? The entire vid I made all the melodies and drums using note perform mode. Well the drums I used a note repeat hack so maybe that was what you meant?
@@ChunkySqit's ok some people are slow & need you to hold their hands. Great video
That was great! Pad wizard. I’ve never been able to get a good melody without a controller. Great sounding jam too.
Yeh For some reason I have a lot of fun playing on the pads over keys and guitar. thank you for checking it out. @dreadwardbernays
where can I find more info on these MPC "tabs and shapes"?
Hey @ricardomanzo I am not sure. I kinda just made this up. BUT! I did find something on youtube called "Finger Drum Bible" that shows a similar concept but for Drumming patterns in different genres
I must be doing something wrong bc it’s not working lol
Lol Sometimes I feel like the same way when I am trying to learn from other tutorials. I hope you can find out soon. Maybe I will do this again and that can help as well
@@ChunkySq lol I def will I know I’m missing a step
This is an interesting video and I would like you to touch on a couple things: 1. what about the bass? What improvisation tips do you have? What scale and key would you use? 2. So you completed the 16-bar loop, but I would like you to go deeper. It seems that you have a good grasp on jazz, I am interested, what would the arrangement look like in an improvised beat; would it have a similar structure to pop: intro, verse, chorus, bridge, etc., or what would it look like. What elements would you take on and take off? Would the verses be improvised as well or would they tend to have some parts of the chorus? I imagine the bridges can be either a solo improvisation... Good job, but I want to know more.
Hey Thank you for checking out the video and commenting. 1. Oops looks like I missed out on the Bass. I will have to sharpen my bass skills first. 2. Jazz is a genre that I feel like I never truly understand since there are so many jazz pieces that are so different. My personal favorite and style I would like to make is Autumn Leaves performed by Eric Clapton. Yes it is classified as (blues, rock) but it is still a jazz piece and Blues and JAzz are extremely similar in arrangement. Check out the song. It follows a simple beautiful arrangement with an interesting yet simple chord progression. The melody is simple. But may favorite part is the end In which you throw in some improvised riffs which can sometimes not be planned and then finish the song with the melody. This is one way of many ways of arranging jazz and also any genre can do this. So yeh My personal favorite elements are improvising and riffing and I like to do that when I make beats. Also I am also making a "JAzzy sounding beat" not actual jazz since I am missing a lot of components like a recognizable melody, chorus, Proper jazz drumming etc. I am just Riffing in the video using more notes jazz and blues like to use lol I don't think I will make a proper "How to make jazz". If you are interested in making jazz music i would personally try to recreate a song you like and look for a tutorial there. There is a lot to digest. I only know autumn leaves but for me that was enough because I would just improvise hours on hours to that song on the keyboard. Blues I played on the guitar because for some reason despite never really listening to blues on the guitar, Playing Blues on the guitar is addicting.
Dope video, thank you for dropping some knowledge
Hey Thank you Jason. I am happy this was interesting for you
