Hey brother, yes there is times where I just let the loop play but most of the time I have more fun when I chop it up and rearrange it into my own way. Appreciate you dropping by.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your input brother, yes it really isn’t a ride or wrong way of doing it but I have so much fun when I chop up and rearrange the sample in my own way.
@@malobeats yeah I dont really need it i think i could do the same in any daw but I think I gonna buy a akai at some point and then I absolut ready to kill it 🔥 thanks again for taking ya time out for us
Very clear and useful tutorial. Other ways to proceed could be to use time stretch or patch phrase (depending on the nature of the sample, this will sound good or not). What’s cool, especially with those MPCs, is that there are often multiple options to achieve your goal.
That is correct and I have used that method but have not been a big fan of it in my workflow so I notice I tend to pitch up or down my samples and play it by ear but that is a method that I want to continue to explore and get better throughout time. Thank you so much for this valuable input I appreciate you taking the time.
You're the best mate. I'm learning a lot if you all the time. Akai please look at this guy. Bro for how long can you use this headphone? The quality is amazing but after one hour I can not use it anymore. It's not comfortable at all. Or perhaps you have a trick for audio technica costumers in how to make it comfortable. I'm normally putting the headphones on my KRK speakers to make it less tight. It's works for while. Keep going with this great work man. All the best for you. Cheers mate
sorry for the offtopic question that you probably get alot but which version of the mpc one do you have? it looks a bit different to the retro edition and its the best looking version i've seen so far
Oh man I really appreciate that brother, and yes it is a question I get often. I actually have the original black version but I purchased a really nice retro skin from mpcstuff.com. Which covers up most of the MPC and it makes it look like it was built that way.
Great video, Malo. Quick question: When you mentioned that the sample is in its original key and if you decide add another sample, isn't easy to match a sample using the key detection feature? Please explain because I'm sure I am off somewhere. Thank you again for the content. Blessings to you and your family.
Hey David, you are correct as you pitch it up or down a few semitones you are able to detect the new key that is in but I’ve noticed that it can be a hit or miss since “musically” speaking it is not on a specific key it might be a few semitones off at times but I noticed that when I don’t shift the samples up or down with the pitch it’s almost like 100% of the time that I’m able to detect the key perfectly and add other samples or instrumentation on top of that with no issue. Again it is correct with what you said but it could be a hit or miss at times.
Hey brother thank you for dropping by appreciate you. Oh yes if you have an updated your MPC I have the recommend you do it feels like a brand new MPC there’s so many features in there that are very helpful. Blessings to you brother
@@Mekazazzo oh man, Thank you brother it really means a lot coming from you I really enjoy watching your videos too so it means a lot from you. Blessings to you
Great video! This is a great way to match drum loops with existing samples. However, this method doesn’t always work (there are samples with tempos where you can’t apply the match function, when doing that, it still remains the same; that happens mostly with melodic samples). Other than that, this is a powerful tool!
Hey Pablo, thank you for sharing this and you’re right that’s why there’s so many different ways I’m doing it which will not always work. So far I’ve had good luck most of the time with this method but there’s times where it could be a little funky and not detected exactly where it should be
@@malobeats Ok, so to clarify, the MPC sees the iPhone as an audio input with just that lightning to usb cable? Or is it lightning to TRS in the audio inputs?
This works indeed. However, you should be able to bmp match without changing the pitch using the 'warp' feature. Especially since you can add tails to sample chops, it should be the go-to way to timestretch. Then again, your old school MPC way definitely works fine too. It can be tricky to mask the audio artefacts (read: glitches) from using warp for anything too extreme. But especially in a beat with a lot of audio textures and layers, it won't be a problem. Drums would already be kind of choppy anyway and sometimes it is better for the individual drum sounds to have more room / duration, instead of pitching it up, making the sounds shorter. But not trying to say you did something wrong here. There are simply a dozen ways of accomplishing more or less the same thing.
Hey brother, thank you so much for taking the time and sharing this valuable input. I’ve used the warp method and haven’t been a big fan of it with my workflow I usually tend to pitch up or down and play it by ear, Since I don’t use the warp method as much I don’t really talk about it but I would like to explore it a little bit more in the near future. Thank you so much for this information by the way. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@malobeats You're welcome. Honestly, your solution works too and in plenty of cases has the better result. Unfortunately the warp (timestretch) on the MPC One can be a bit hit or miss. No hating, just saying. I also think the workflow is a bit rough, but I get more into it the more I use my MPC One. It's a powerful machine.
Hey this is totally off topic of the video, but I’m curious about any advanced cv stuff. I’m quite curious how automations can work, like pitch automation then pitch goes out the cv, or can an lfo be made otherwise for cv output. It’s pretty cool midi input can be sent to cv output. Also curious if Mpc can import midi files (not just record them in but load them from memory card or something).
Also apologies I canceled my membership to the channel - I didn’t touch my Mpc for a month or two and almost sold or traded it, but now I have an entire new approach and mind set and giving it a 2nd chance.
Hey Jeremy I appreciate you dropping by and trust me just by having you drop by in the comment section that’s a big support to the channel and I highly appreciate you. And I’m also glad you mentioned this question even though it’s off topic because I will be completely honest, I have not yet dove into the CV connections yet so if anybody else that is reading this has some info for us please drop by and share. Again thank you so much Jeremy, I appreciate you brother🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@malobeats I may have some more knowledge soon but, midi in can go to cv out (as gate or pitch) and of course the 4 cv out are stereo windows you split them into 2 mono each. Anyway I’m still experimenting and 50% understand modular so if I find something interesting I’ll share it
Malo Ben, your content is so detailed and excellent. I can't believe it. I went ahead and bought an MC1 plus just because of your content.
Bro love your content keep em coming. You definitely helped me out a lot!
Thank you for sharing this and I’m glad these videos have been helpful. 🙏🏽
That match feature is a killer! I agree though, slicing the drums will definitely give you more options plus give it more flavor.
Hey brother, yes there is times where I just let the loop play but most of the time I have more fun when I chop it up and rearrange it into my own way. Appreciate you dropping by.
Back Again !! Made my day at Lunch !!
It means a lot you invest in your lunch break and watching this video, I hope it was helpful. Thank you brother

Super Dope people's i like what you said about the looping. Making it your own so original.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your input brother, yes it really isn’t a ride or wrong way of doing it but I have so much fun when I chop up and rearrange the sample in my own way.
Very very useful information!💯🤝
Thank you so much for the support and feedback, it really means a lot. Blessings to you
Love the content . Appreciate the tips .

Thank you Malo! Valuable info!!
Thank you for taking the time and watching a video brother.
blessing bro... appreciate the jewels you drop..
Thank you for dropping by it means a lot.
I dont own a akai but I love watching your videos keep it going my mann💯
You have no idea how much that means to me, I’m sure when you do get an MPC you’re gonna be Killin it after watching all these videos.
@@malobeats yeah I dont really need it i think i could do the same in any daw but I think I gonna buy a akai at some point and then I absolut ready to kill it 🔥 thanks again for taking ya time out for us
Very interesting! Thanks a lot!!
Thank you for taking the time brother.
Hey malo you got me hooked on your channel nice work !!!! 🙏💯💯
Hey brother, thank you so much for the feedback it really means a lot. Much love and blessings to you brother

Dope vid as usual have you thought about going through the MPC Bible and explaining some of the topics in the book
I always have heard amazing things about the MPC Bible, but how does it apply when Akai makes all of their updates? Thank you. Blessings!
@@davidscott2095 It gets updated after every Akai update. He(MPC- Tutor) normally notifies you when he completes the bible.
@@jddj4179 ❤
Hey Brandon, I’ve had a few people mentioned that book on some of my videos which I looked it up and it does seem pretty useful.
Hey Malo, how do you get clean audio from your music in making these videos?
Hey, were you just sampling directly from the iOS lightning cable directly to MPC One?
Yes that is correct, that cable is a lifesaver lol.
@@malobeats Ok, so to clarify, the MPC sees the iPhone as an audio input with just that lightning to usb cable? Or is it lightning to TRS in the audio inputs?
