Really great to see someone with your background getting into MPC vids. Regarding your ghost notes, I’d recommend that you play with your pad layouts a bit and try rocking 2 snares, 2 kicks and 2 open hi hats (set all your hats to a mute group). It’s not hard to learn to play your backbeat with one hand with the right layout and you can poke out those ghost notes (with their volume turned down to ghost)and poke anything on the offbeat with you other hand. And if you use slightly different samples it will shake up your variations a lot too.
Just getting started with Finger drumming and using MPC, your content has helped so much! Especially the specifics about practicing and learning the rhythms. Thank you so much for your time!
Ghost notes on pads are hard! I have two ways I do it: one is like you did with the hihat, just using an edited or a completely different sample, and the order is to route velocity to decay of the sound. The decay-velocity mapping really emphasizes the dynamic difference even if the pad isn’t super sensitive :)
Hey nice video! What would be the best groove box for a blind musician... that isn't old anough to work? I thaught it was the Circuit Tracks but you need an unaccessible software to upload samples and patches. The opz is cool but way to expensive and will blow my pocket money up.
When the (note repeat) button is held down, you merely hold down the high hat pad. The note then replays in succession depending on the quantise & the tempo
It’s an option but that takes you out of pocket playing and into programming. You’re also not able to jump back and forth between 2 hah samples in that case, which really helps with groove.
Hi I have akai 2000xl and mpd 26 controllers Its perfect velocity pad Now i took mpc live its good but compared to mpd 26 ets velocity and threshold are not good because when i play on triggers mpclive takes only above 30-127 velocity values am a live orchestra player iwant play hihates snare rolls ets..with very low dynamic range its not coming in mpclive i tryd to set in mpc live preference mode but not coming wt i want in recording we can adjust velocity values but when we play on live stage its necessary to play with velocity levels right .... So can u plsss help me how to set velocity wt a i want in mpclive or mpcone
i was wondering, will getting a pocket, recording it into a daw be a problem when I used maschine mikro mk3 ? they have a total of 8 ms. But i am guessing, when we use akai mpc one, I can record it to the daw without delay , or perform without delay ? I am using a UA apollo twin as my audio interface. would love to hear your thoughts on it. Also, could you show how to get samples like this and if its possible to perform this in pads....th-cam.com/video/W9GVF2AqZO4/w-d-xo.html
@@LiamKillen maschine mk3 has to be plugged in an when played there is latency. Meanwhile, mpc is like an instrument, standalone, and does not have latency right ?

That was suggested! Thank you for this!
Great stuff. Thank you!
it's my pleasure ! :-)

Always glad to help! :-)
Really helped me to get going, I was struggling with playing kick-snare pattern with my hats......Thanks mate!
It's a pleasure
Love your MPC one content. More of it please!
For sure more to come!
Love your video. I'm glad I was born with the pocket built in.
Born to pocket 😏
this is nice Liam, thx
🍻
This is awesome, I appreciate the specific exercises!
Glad to help! 🙂
Excellent video Liam! Def gonna practice using these tips.
Thanks Courtney! Slow it all down and you’ll be good to go.
Always helpful tips and points .. thanks for all the insights into making it all happen ...
My pleasure thanks for watching!

Truth i should have thought of that! Thanks!
Good stuff dude! Thanks for taking the time.to put this together.
It’s my pleasure 🙂
Thank you for this video!
It’s my pleasure
Very good
Why thank you Martin
Very useful thanks
Cheers!
So good!
Ayyy thanks man! Cheers
engagement! thank
🍻
@@LiamKillen I love your work, you're hired!
Helpful tips...my problem though is watching too many tutorials, and not enough application. Engagement delivered.
Oh yeah that's a general problem I would say- watching is one thing- executing is another. In fact that may be a great concept for a video.

Hmm...might be a good idea to use a DAW + mpd 218, which is a midi controller.
So you saying coincide with the metronome not after or before exactly in line with the tick?
Yeah I think lining up with the click is the best exercise it just sharpens your timing IMO
Why didn’t you use note repeat for the high hat?
How so?
@@LiamKillen I’m not that familiar with the MPC 1. However, other MPC models have a note repeat function.
When the (note repeat) button is held down, you merely hold down the high hat pad. The note then replays in succession depending on the quantise & the tempo
I haven’t used that yet but thanks for letting me know

The pads are velocity sensitive!
Bro with the 2.10 you don’t need the side chain
Really? Why not?
Wow, liAm wHat r wE dOing hERe. I cAN aLready DO tHIs
i’m sure i’ll get a few of those lol
Such a tiny video detail, but how did you get the red words of the recap to wiggle at the end?
I’m using animated fonts in davinci resolve.
@@LiamKillen aha makes sense. It's a great program!
It is indeed!
You were all eyebrows in the thumbnail
I do have some bushy eye brows

I’m not super clear on what u mean
@@LiamKillen maschine mk3 has to be plugged in an when played there is latency. Meanwhile, mpc is like an instrument, standalone, and does not have latency right ?
Yup there’s zero latency within the instrument itself.
