    you can see where the magic in these beats comes from when you were humming the rhythm and melody without playing. thats where the good shit comes, from inside the heart.

    7:42 I chop samples in FL Studio a similar way right in the step sequencer. I don’t use a sampler plugin/slicer anything like that. I just duplicate channels and truncate them in the sample window. I started doing it one day and I really like the chops I get from this technique.

    I love the 2000XL. It's just so easy to use and create with. I created an album from scratch in three weeks using it a couple of years ago. Just hooked up two analogue synths to it via MIDI and looped some guitar licks to the Roland RC505 added effects and sampled them into the MPC. It's the workflow that I know from the nineties and for me it still works to this day

      @ConductorWilliams I need to find my old disks I got from PSSL when I bought it. They gave away free samples from all the roland drum machines, and since they were given for free, roland couldn't do much.

    I had a Mpc 2000xl years ago . Sold it and have regretted that decision ever since . Brought a Mpc one two years ago but not the same magic . So I just brought another Mpc2000xl . Will never sell again. The machine is magical . It takes any beat to another level .

    i got a mpc2000 half a year ago, and have been loving it for the start of the process, finding the heart of the beat and being creative with the use of the sample. then i bounce it to ableton and go nuts, but the first half hour of the beats on the mpc2000 are golden. something about that machine...
