- Since the early nineties Ian Pooley is one of House music’s key figures and well known for his use of Akai’s legendary MPC 3000. Still in use today as his main sampler and sequencer, in this new series for Telekom Electronic Beats TV he shows how he uses it, and why this machine is still unbeatable.
In part 2 of the video, Ian Pooley dives deeper into the sequencing capabilities of this classic device. Watch here: bit.ly/MPC3000-SEQ

fantastic. i've been telling everyone for 20 years to get an MPC to make great house and techno and here Ian shows us why that rings true. even in this age of DAWs and plentiful budget gear, an MPC as the heart of your studio will connect you to the music in a very different way than mouse driving your way thru a DAW. Thanks Ian and EBTV for sharing these videos.
mouse forever... different tools for different fools
yeah now find an mpc3000 for less than 3500$usd
@@hotwax761 So you're calling mr Pooley a bedroom producer?
I agree with you. But I would say you could also get a Maschine! And getting an MPC doesn't mean you need to get a 3000...there are many more:)
@@hotwax761 I use the Modules from Korg Gadget 2 and it doesn’t have a dedicated sequencer. I hook up my MPC One to the iPad and assign each module to a midi track on the MPC and use its sequencer for a better track build. And I will also use samples within the MPC and on rare occasion…the synths in the MPC One. It’s a cool combo and works very well for me. Keeps it fun and interactive also with the MPK Mini MK3 to control the knobs and such for a tactile beat creating session.
But I think I can get away with doing everything on iPad alone. Especially now with the M1. Also lots of sample packs help for inspiration and groove building. All in all a decent and simple setup.
MPC 3000 is such a beautiful machine - aesthetically, operationally, and sonically.
Not to mention, his looks like he just pulled it out of the box this morning!
That VGA output!!!!!!!!
Pooley is all up my crates,with his great tracks...
Ian Pooley’s ‘Chord Memory’ is one of the great classics in electronic music. What a treat to see some of his workflow. Would love to see more of this, even just a stream watching a new track being born and completed.
Rock the discotheque!
Omg totally agree I could watch or listen to Ian pooley describe the phone book or tax code and be on the edge of my seat!❤
...Uhh!@@MolloyPolloy
Woa, this dude just whips up a brilliant house track and he’s just playing around with it.
Mr G is another master of the MPC. Would love to see him making a track on one.
This made me really appreciate my Akai Force! It's so easy to get overwhelmed on the Force, this video really helped me re-look at the basics of what the Force can do.
Great job Ian. Thank you for this.
Just when I swore to myself to not procrastinate today, this comes in …
😂
straight up
Geez...exactly the same situation and thought here. :)
HAHA!!!
Golden. Calssic for years to come! thx Telekom
Still my favourite mpc to this day and I have many. The 3000 is special!
It's always a great pleasure to watch Ian Pooley. Thank you!
An absolute legend....been listening for years and finally glad to get this video!!
This makes me miss my MPC3000. Lovely videos, great to see!
That is Roger linn's best creation. It's a beast. Especially with the Vailixi upgraded ram capacity. You took great care of it. It looks clean like my 2000. Bought my 2000 in 1997. It still looks brand new. One thing I like about the 3000: There is 1 physical single function button for every single menu. Which makes the 3000 intuitive af. Akai started putting that double function button (hold shift and press other key bs) in 2000 and newer MPCs. Which was their way of adding fewer buttons (56 physical single function buttons in 3000 vs 41 physical buttons in 2000). My 2000 has 12 buttons that require that double function button bs. Including "sample," "song," "disk,' "program," "midi/sync," "mixer," "other," "punch," "trim," "assign," "start," and "end." There is no "help," "timing correct," "count in," "seq edit," "step edit," "edit loop," "simul seq," or "wait for key" button. Some of those buttons are virtual buttons that are accessed through menu with cursor. Others, such as "simul seq," dont exist. Just imagine if Akai removed all of the "commands" physical single function buttons in the 3000 and relocated them as double function buttons under each of your "data entry" physical buttons. Then added a shift key to access the double function buttons. That's WTF Akai did for the 2000. Bahahahahaha. Despite that bs, I still wouldnt trade my 2000 for a 3000. I cant deal with the lack of wave editing and lack of other upgrades (.wav supported files, less power consumption, less weight, brighter screen, digital output, etc). Although I wish it had the vga output and foot switch outputs.
Just curious, why would you not trade? What do you think the 2000 has over the 3000?
@@samsicles_jr because the 2000 isnt worth near what the 3000. the 2000 is super clean and lacks bottom end
Totally agreed with the function buttons. My shift key broke on my 2kxl and now I can't access ANYTHING! , haha! (need to get that fixed, I know it's pretty easy....)
@@nic3939damn that's rough lol
Since so many years Ian is such a creative, nice and polite musician and producer! Stay healthy and keep up that great work Ian!
Thanks Ian, couldn't put my finger on any particular tune but those beats brought back memories. Always a good night when a flyer said live set (mpc).
Great video. Always great to listen and watch legend - Ian Pooley!
Master at work
Ian, keep the MPC 3000 videos coming, much appreciated!
Thanks IAN, awesome to see how it was done back in the days and still today :)
Wow! That was nice! We want more of machine favorite! 👍👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻
Ian, I love your studio and such a nice approach how you create you music.
I recently bought a MPC 1000 and upgraded to JJ and good pads. This is awesome for me, thank you.
on jj2xl you can jam on the track mute screen while recording mutes, thats a real joy to do
Alberto Tovar whaa? how do obtain this

MPC-1000 is the little beast but with jjos it’s a little monster.
the best tutorial I had ever seen on mpc, pure gold
It is Wonderful to watch a Artist at work.
Ian Pooley and MPC 3000
is like Butter and Bread
I would love watching him creating a complete track, to know how he would structure the sequences, making fills, variations and transitions on the mpc!
This can anybody do.. easy
@@st33Npuist Well what a negative response, lol - why so angry?
Great job Ian! Really enjoyed seeing how the 3000 is used by him.
Love you Ian huge inspiration to me, thank you for breaking it down, much appreciated and much respect for your craft
Thanks for this video! Loving it!
Great Video. Thanks Ian & ebTv! One thing though: the MPC 3000 has not analogue but digital filters
Amazing video! love it 💣👍🏼💥
All his great drum fills and squelching delayed synths, you can see how they came about.
This kind of nice videos make me want to collect all of the models of MPC........
Very expensive hobby 😉
Thank you for this video!
Wonderful. This guy is great!
That is an absolute banger!
Good video thanks, I love this channel 🎶🎵
bigggg up for the vid!! heaps of useful info ty!
Awesome video! Makes we wanna get one for that swing alone!
Einer der besten Maschinen, hab auch eine mit 3 Samplern aus der S Reihe.
Nice deconstruction of your workflow, Ian!
Good stuff. Thanks Ian
This episode made me buy an MPC. Not the 3000 but a 1000. I use now it for my external gear. Wish I got on it sooner. One of the best hardware sequencers around. Compliments my SE Engine well too.
Nice visual showcase man. 👍🏽👍🏽
Killer video !!!
The man is truly a legend. I have an MPC 2000xl I've been trying to learn so this has come at the perfect time.
same, i have a 2500 and ive been making some loops on it but was feeling like maybe it's not for me... this helps me re-think how i use it.
i love my mpc2000xl! Love the waveform view, zone chopping etc. I appreciate the old school editing on the 3000 but 2000xl is king for me! Read the manual and always use the 'open window' button, lots of hidden menus in there ;)
Ben Houghton I’m thinking of switching to a 2000xl as well. The 2500 feels like neither a modern contender neither a old classic. Just feels like an unholy transitional creation.
@@256k_ Never used a 2500. I dont know the sound of one vs 2000XL. But I am familiar with the differences.
2500 has bigger LCD screen. Compact flash slot. 2 Foot switch plugs. USB slave plug for transfers. 4 midi outputs (64 midi channels). You can record a live performance while listening to a sequence. You can normalize a sample. 4 band eq and compressor effects. It comes with 16mb of memory. It's expandable to 128mb. All of which are features that are unavailable on any 2000XL. Although Akai came out with MCD versions of 2000XLs, which feature a compact flash slot (in addition to other card slots). The actual expandable memory of the unit is 32mb. It comes with only 2mb of memory.
In addition, 2500's Time stretch and Chop Shop function is quicker and have a lot more features than 2000xl's version. If that ish isnt important to you, than switching shouldnt be a problem. I own a 2000, which doesnt have any of the aforementioned features, except for 32mb expandable memory. But I'm used to that ish. It works perfectly for me.
FANTASTIC!
No hay nada que hacer el sonido del mpc 3000 es el mejor , gracias Ian por tu tutorial !!
Love the beat
Man thank you for the video at least I learned something about the Mpc 3000
KiNK x Ian Pooley B2B would be next level
One of the best...
Thank you!
super nice thank you for sharing that
he makes it look so easy
GREAT
waiting for mpc 2000 edition
I have a huge respect for this man !!
So much tracks he did with a lot of vibe ..
More pls :)

@@ElectronicBeatsTV Done !
Thank you guys for making my quarantine feels like holidays .
@@ElectronicBeatsTV thanks!!!
Our pleasure
Thank you very much!
please more videos going in depth! and how do you expand from a MPC idea/concept/jam into a full track. please :D
Fantastic video! Dope to see peeps making house on physical samplers. Another one who does it all on the 3000 is Phil Weeks. I dunno if I could master it like that, I'm quite spoiled with my Toraiz SP-16. I do see alot of parallels between the 2 machines though. Thanks for sharing this video! 👌👍🙏🎶🎵🎧🎛🙌💯
SP-16 is a hugely underrated machine and I feel like it is the spiritual successor of the older MPCs. The new MPCs try and do too much and are really cluttered
He is a Legend!
a legend!
Legendary!
Those drums are so crunchy! ooof
Definitely do a "how I did my live-show edition" too, please!
Ian was nice enough to speak to me recently about his experiences using an older MPC. I was questioning about whether to either incorporate one into my workflow, or adapt my workflow around the MPC. Now there’s a video for people like me!
Thanks!
Awesome
Great.
I do almost the same at Amiga with Tracker software.
The problem was only the sample size to put one track at one 3,5" floppy disk.
Great Tutorial. Just picked up a LTD edition to sit along side my 2k classic.
Me too!! Which is your favorite
Legend
Brilliant stuff, Ian. You really can’t beat the swing on the old MPC’s!!! would love to see how you go about the rest of the process after this :-)
Check the 2nd video
Telekom Electronic Beats I watched that one first ;-)
Awesome 😎 🙌🙏🙏
Sound shaping filters are digital (not analog like the anti-alias output filter) afaik... but they sound great.
Man, the 3000 may be the best MPC of all time. Dare we say Mr Linn shot his load with this one! The minimalistic design of the interface is perfectly focused on "where the musician might go while in the middle of creation" destinations and not "cool shit for live performance" buttons. The amount of FX built are just enough for getting a nice sound with just enough space for out-the-box additions.
It's one of a kind
I’m new to the world of mpc. I got a 2500 recently and am so happy to see a modern video on workflow.
Dope
It's like you are waiting hip hop beats when you see mpc in a video, but here is house music, that's funny
I would love to see more akai mfc42 and space echo in the next one w ian !
Big man!
MORE MPC PLEASE!!!!
"Two Thumbs Up!" 😎
exactly what I was looking for. Producing house on an mpc. thanks!
thank you ian, what about the mpc live/one? same sound and swing?
Its totally wild to see the technological leap that's been made with the newest evolution of MPC 's, particularly the MCP ONE.
@Spread Love Im surprised to hear you say that, from what I understand the MCP3000 is all digital, so I wonder what could be so unique about the sound. Do you feel like it has particular characteristics that stand out to you in the sound over other models?
@@luxnox9303 It uses a 16 bit sampler so everything has a somewhat lofi crunchy sound, also you forget that every digital instrument has a DAC that outputs an analog signal in the end. Even cheap digital instruments all have very high quality dacs but in the 90s the tech was less refined giving different devices a different character. Not to mention in order to process real time audio in the 90s required highly specialized chips that use different algorithms than modern machines creating a different sound. The MPC 3000 also utilizes analog filters.
@@Claidheambmor Tape loops are not digital
This is informative and inspiring. Great video!
Well… nostalgic! ;-)
Is there some oldschool live set from Ian pooley in that style? Please post below if you know something. That is so groovy!
Very inspiring video and the isolated screen raises it. Does the MPC 3000 have a video output or how did you add that effect?
Camera secrets 😬
Just joking, the 3000 has a VGA Output
Can see a Roland sh101 in the background
I can't stop tapping my toes
Great vid, filter is digital on those though.
Love this, but a wee correction: filter on the 3K is digital, not analogue.
Analog sounding (but digital)
Was coming here to ask this. But the filter does sound sweet.
was just about to say this haha. But these early digital filters on akai samplers are very sought after
@@Ancaja123 you can even find vst pluggins mimicking those filters. Like the RX950 Classic AD/DA Converter.
@@N1h1L3 ..or buy a S3000 which can be had for next to nothing...
Raw as fuck and slamming
Hi Ian just wanna ask you if the midi output a b c d of the Mpc are also a midi thru thanks
Is there a way for MPC to play back unquantized midi that you've tapped in?
mpc3k rulez!!
