This video helped me tremendously with my hi hats and now my beats dont sound plain anymore. Ive especially started to use the kick at weird times giving it that Dilla feel. Cant wait to see what stuff i come up with now that ive learned this
Simply put, use velocity and turn off the quantization. Ultimately, just gotta flow and feel it to make the beat go. I have been living on a 2000xl since 2015 and can attest that's one way to make it happen!
Definitely man! I think quantising the first kick of the bar is useful as well (can't remember if I mentioned it here) it gives you a bit of freedom to play around but know that the bar will loop nicely
I know this is an old video, but you should make more MPC vids!! Love your content and would like to see more MPC related beats. Love and peace from cali
spvidz I just got the X very good on technical side in sense got MPC bible from...... so I get it but trouble ..... but this good subject groove swing wow from 50% to ..... I tried 60-63 good but dam so many options and when I do that to drum track I change back 50 and I’m thinking all my groove the same or no idk I’m working learning
@ with samples I'd say the best way is not to man, just keep recording your sequence until you get it sounding right, quantise won't help with chops as much as it helps with beats

@@spvidz do i turn off quantized for samples that are chopped because i am confused like i got the prograns with chops?
What's ur honest opinion of the mpc 2500? Its been a while since I played with one but my initial reaction was it was identical to the 1000. Just bigger. Which I wasn't impressed by sonically . I prefer samplers to add distinct character and all that. I did think the effects were kinda nice sounding and as always with akai, awesome filters. But I got a 2000xl, 3k, and a 60ii, back in the day so I never needed to get a newer machine. After 20 years playing with samplers I've realized with akai the old ones are the cooler sounding, and dont sleep on rack units either. S950 is amazing as far as warming up and boosting anything u put thru it with probably the best filters in any akai samplers. I'm also a big emu sampler fan aswell as ensoniqs... Haha they all are great machines. Now weird cheap things like sp404s with the crappy pads I never understood . Horrible sounding and insanely annoying to operate.
The 2500 is ok but i've not had any other MPCs to compare to that are similar. I had the renaissance for a bit but didn't like the fact it had to be linked to a computer permanently so I sold it and got the 2500. I would have gone for a 2000xl but when I was looking to buy here in the UK there wern't any around in good condition. As for the 404 being crappy or horrible...will have to agree to disagree on that one...
@@spvidz man I apologize. My comment looks like im just doging ur gear, but I'm actually just curious about how u were introduced to the machines u have... here in the u.s., 2000xl were super easy to find. Infact so many people have them that alot of us wont admit we own one
@@spvidz yeah thanks for the knowledge. Also you could also use note repeat and 16 levels at the same time and get humanized fast hi hats like this soundcloud.com/verseitell/bliss
@@spvidz I've got the big screen on the MPC1K with the 128XL OS, well worth updating JJOS if your version is old. I've only just dug mine out recently, I updated JJOS and found the non-destructive chop has got really good.
Conrad Jones sounds nice man. I’ve been looking at some others too recently. Really want to try and pick up either a 2000 or 2000xl. Be a nice addition to the family!
those pads look like nice hunks of cheddar
haha! yeah man someone gifted them to me which is cool. They are actually a bit temperamental compared to the stock ones
super underrated channel. i just got a 404 and your videos are super helpful! thanks a lot.
Really appreciate that man, thanks for watching. I'm glad they have been useful!

Cool man yeah defintely do some stuff around that!
More mpc videos plz!
Definitely! Been too long on the shelf. Going to do some videos with the MPC and the sp404sx
How do you get the pads to play on time in the sequence
You can either quantise or just play them in time. I think quantise was on when I did this video
@@spvidz what is the best quantized method especially with samples? Because i got a mpc 5000
@ with samples I'd say the best way is not to man, just keep recording your sequence until you get it sounding right, quantise won't help with chops as much as it helps with beats
@@spvidz do i turn off quantized for samples that are chopped because i am confused like i got the prograns with chops?
I don’t quantise when I’m recording samples into my sequence - I just use the click as a guide
Thank you for the video, SPVIDZ. And I just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the sub man!

@@spvidz I got my first mpc 2000xl from dj screws lil brother al D. And got a pint o lean for$ 300
thats lucky man - you are looking at about £600+ over here for one in decent condition. I'll have to visit one day and send one back to myself haha
Yeah there going for a lot now that their considered vintage. I got mine in 2002 I think
great video bro, it would be cool to see more of this tutorials, or for example how to work with mpc and 404sx together! s/o from bcn!!
Thanks as lot man and yeah I definitely want to do MPC with SP404!
can you make a video about no quantize
I'm going to be doing more vids about putting the actual beats together on the MPC man yeah!
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t humanizing not quantize?
nice and dont forget to turn off quantize
Yeah man gonna do some more stuff with specifically laying down beats with the MPC as there are loads of things you can play with! Thanks for watching
@@spvidz yeah thanks for the knowledge. Also you could also use note repeat and 16 levels at the same time and get humanized fast hi hats like this
soundcloud.com/verseitell/bliss
Interesting man, i'll have to have a look into that!
Cop a MPC Live or X!! ;)
I'm sure they're great but I'm more than happy with the 2500. Maybe one day when the channel is bigger I could get one and do tutorials!
+1 for jjos
Yeah man, its well worth installing. Need to get the MPC back up and running, its in bits at the moment ready for some repairs! Thanks for watching
