It's crazy because 20 years ago, I was out in Detroit working with Dwele and he had a very minimal set up that had his Triton synced with his MPC. The heat he was cooking up at the time from that small set up was insane. I'm still inspired by what I saw back then and your set up is very reminiscent of that moment. I just copped an MPC ONE and I'm looking to get a simple standalone keyboard of some sort to hook up with my MPC and use those two exclusively for production. I want to go as Dawless to help me have a easier work flow. There's something about hardware production that still stands out from the norm of this day and age. From my personal observation over the years, hardware production still goes a bit harder in the slap dept than software production.
Yo man! I also have mpc x and I used it only in standalone mode. And I also hook up motif xf 6 and the combination is dope. I really appreciate what you're doing. Booooloooooooooo!!!
How do you switch and / or add sounds through the fa? If you record a melody and you want to add some accompaniment, how do you go the the next track and use a different sound ?
This is why I finally ordered the X!!!Truthfully, I don’t feel using hardware is a pain in the ass because I love using it. I prefer using it. Everything ain’t gotta be easy! I feel like I’ve actually accomplished something when I use hardware.
"I really don't care." That's why I love BOLO!!!! Love hardware for beats, drums, guitar pedals (cheap outboard gear, right?), reamping vocals, all that REAL stuff is what gives the track the juice from staying inside box if you are into twiddling knobs...
I appreciate you so much bro... i got the mpcx a while ago... and if it wasnt for you.. i woulda been got frustrated and i woulda prolly resold this shit... but real talk.. your videos keep me in the game.. thank you for that bro!!
Yoo Bolo I been trying to find reviews on the Roland fa 06 & ur channel keep popping up so I will be buying my fantom based on ur review so I trust you mane fa sho ...Much luv from Memphis 10 Bolooooo !!!!
Good stuff Bolo, I enjoyed your workflow. I also have the Roland FA as well as the MPC X. I may hit you up later with a few questions. Talk to you soon.
Bolo, In the beginning How do you get the mpc to record the seperate midi tracks without changing the sound? Are you bouncing to audio (offscreen ) then going to the next track?
No I didn’t bounce anything. Most keyboards have 16 parts. You have to assign each part to corresponding midi channel on separate tracks. So midi channel 1 will be part 1 on keyboard, midi 2 will be part to on keyboard. It’s simple setup
@@BoloDaProducer Thanks for responding Bolo. I'm new to Mpc & It Took me a few days to understand what this meant for my fantom and mpc setup. When you bounce out your midi, are you using Looper/Clips to send the audio into a new mpc program? Or do you create a new track for each audio created from the midi? Just a work flow question and trying to figure out the most efficient way to do this for multiple midi tracks.
Not sure about rules but its damn good. Love the hat too --since i have that exact same one! Dope beat as always! Bring the Beat tape! I will def. cop it if/when you release!
Can you adjust or modify your drum kits kicks ,hi hats, snare sounds using the MPC X to modulate? Or are your drum kits locked down, and can’t be modified or adjusted personally to the producers satisfaction? Thanks! Love your videos !👍💯
@@BoloDaProducer You will have to do a show or video on it one day! Producing trap music or sounds demands crystal clear hi-hats, with a cutting edge that make your head nod ! I guess that can be done when mixing or Mastering! Either way, it would be a good video for beginners like me!
Big fan. All I have is a MPC X that I use in standalone. Wanted a synth for sounds. Should I go Juno DS -61 or FA-06. I make house and trance style music. Keep up good work.
How are you switching the sounds like that ? Because you are using the fa sounds correct? How are you changing the sounds to add to different tracks ? Bell, then clav?
I run my X with a NEKO XXL. All the feel of outboard but in the box. I wont ever need another setup. I came from an mpc3000 with 14 modules to 2 monster hybrid pieces
Hi,,,lovin your vids,,,,I currently have the mpcx,,,getting my head around that and yes have only used this in standalone mode ,,I am thinking about getting the FA06,,,as I am impressed with it,,,is it really easy to link it up to the mpcx,,,if so could you tell me th easiest way to do this in simple steps,,,thanks for your help 😁,,,,ps I am also a hardware guy,,,I’ve got the Roland D50,,,,JDXI,,,Kong m 1, Kong wave station,,,DX7,,,DX7s,,,Nord clav 3,,,,akai miniak ,,,yep to much I know haha,,,👍👍
I actually have a video showing how to hook it up. But it’s very easy, just plug in usb to MPC, MPC will detect it (you can me it), go to midi track select FA 06 or whatever you named it then go to work💪🏾 also you can have Fa 06 output into MPC or into mixer
Yall cats kill me with that "170" tempo mess. 85 you mean? With being able to do 64th triplets the need to go double tempo is ludicrous. Also you can set your metronome to 8ths. Not your fault. You probably learned it backwards that way. Really it does not matter, just do whatever to make music. The reality though is you are running double time. If you tap tempo 1/4 notes you will get 85 all day.
Used to make beats with ASR-10, MPC 2000XL, and Mo Phatt and Triton Racks so this definitely took me back to the old days.
🔥🔥🔥
I got a MPC XL & ASR-10
haven't used the ASR in years!
I never was on you guys level but I want to make music til I can't anymore

About using hardware vs DAW:
I think it's because it feels like you're playing an instrument... And it is!
Since 96-97 making beats with korg triton and mpc 1000. I miss the hardware. But its coming back like BoomBap! Prrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaa!
Giving this awesome legend producer his flowers now.... thanks bro for the Gem 💎

You gotta crank out more Jeezy Type Beats from standalone mode on those two machines. That type sound is what I like to hear you make the most.
Will do!!
Hardware since 96, baby!
💪🏽🤘🏽
That headphone slapper session!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
That background beat is fire . BM3
Yessir
Bro I just got the lp 6s and you weren’t lying kali speakers go hard!!

Standalone makes me get more creative with out a computer in the original way from the 80 to now

Beat is 🔥
Sick! I don't think I heard this one before, sick sound selection. I'm loving your beats man it has helped me simplify my production

That’s Clean Brogham !!!!!!
Thanks
I just got that Jupiter XM. Roland and Akai! Great combo!
I was looking into that
Hardware beats sound more crisp imo
Yes!!
Yeah but that fa 08 isn’t even true analog at the same time. It’s still digital
Please do! It’s a pleasure to learn about this type of music! I’m a piano and bass player! This is interesting and educational ! Thank You!🎶✨🎶✨🎶✨🎶
Not sure about rules but its damn good. Love the hat too --since i have that exact same one! Dope beat as always! Bring the Beat tape! I will def. cop it if/when you release!
This Is Really Great!!!! I want this beat!!!!
Always thumbs up!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Can you do a video on gain staging on mpc software, you explain things so clear and without all of the fluff...Thanks
It’s just like every other DAW. I start with drums and then I add other elements. Just make sure it’s not leaking and get drums knocking 🔥
I like this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep em coming G I got the mpc live 2 tryna figure the best keyboard to go with

Both are great Juno has a little less presets but sounds really good. Might get one because of price
fire!!!
And I'm in this new generation but I'm filling inpired with how music has changed if 30 years before me
Yesss sir!
Dope
Fireee bro 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯😂
Thanks
Bro Thank you for not being selfish
💪🏾💪🏾
Hey Bolo, are those just regular presets from the FA-06, or did you shape them up a bit to your own liking before playing them?...SBN RESONATE
How are you switching the sounds like that ? Because you are using the fa sounds correct? How are you changing the sounds to add to different tracks ? Bell, then clav?
Use MSB and LSB banks on MPC
@@BoloDaProducer do you do zoom sessions ?
Cuz came through with this one.
I run my X with a NEKO XXL. All the feel of outboard but in the box. I wont ever need another setup. I came from an mpc3000 with 14 modules to 2 monster hybrid pieces
Hello !!! How are you ? I need to know how the mpcxc is turned on with its battery, without connecting it to the electricity! Thanks a lot !!!
They have tutorials showing how to do that on TH-cam
What happened to using studio one??? Dope beat though!! Super Dope!!
I’m still learning it
Do you use odd tempos? like 142.5 or something like that? any tempo but using .something, I dont use it, always straight numbers
#Salute...👑✨👑
Just got MPCX. What SD card should I be getting
Doesn’t really matter as long as it has decent memory space

Hola !!! Como estas ? necesito saber como se enciende la mpcxc con su bateria, sin conectarla a la electricidad!! Muchas gracias !!!!
Tienen tutoriales que muestran cómo hacerlo en TH-cam.
Cool
🔥 🔥 🔥
Can I know what stand you're using? Gonna cop me the same workstation.
amzn.to/2NHyb20
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Are you using the Fantom in multi mode.
Nah haven’t tried it yer
Damn!!!!!!!!!!
bolo we need a video for installing the drip vst in mpc x
You can’t in stands mode
@@BoloDaProducer it wont pull up on the interface either
I wanna see you break down the doe b Smile beat
Might do it soon
where do you get the sounds when you make beats like this? on the FA or you load sounds from the computer THEN go standalone mode?
All from FA and my Drumkit
👍
can i use my roli seaboard with my mpc live and or bm3?
I believe so
Hey Bro when you was making the beat when you got to that snare run part I can’t seem to get mine right you have any tutorials on that
Set quantize right
@@BoloDaProducer Thank you Bro Appreciate That 🤘🏽
Do you work with artist
Yep
I wish I could have an MPX x, I have the MPk mini mk3, here in Chile an MPC X cost 3.400.000 CLP
Get a renaissance. They are a few hundred and do all the same things without standalone operation.
what are you're thoughts on the ASM hyrdasynth?
Haven’t use it yet
Can you make a beat in Reason 12?
Yo Bolo I need dat kit where to find it bro?
Link is in video description to the 2020 Drumkit Bolodaproducer.com/shop
"...when e v e r y t h i n g was just more fun!" Thats what you meant? I am so wth you on that ;-)
any interest in the roland mv1?
Nah, not really
🙌🏾
Are you recording audio or midi from the FA-06 into the MPC?
Yep 👍🏾
@@kallpakk thanks! I ask because I have an mpc one and a fantom X8, and I can’t ever get the MIDI to sync up to use the Fantom as a sound module.
why my piano controller never play full
level is there some options problem in my mpc? please help 🥰🥰😂
What MPC do you have
@@BoloDaProducer mpc one 🤷🏾♂️
Bro how are your routing the fa6 in your in you mpc
Just plug it in 1/2 or 3/4 and make sure you have audio input set to thru
@@BoloDaProducer but is it midi data or audio?
Thank you bro for your response
Bro in the mpc one settings were do I go to use my fa 6 in audio
how did you reach that effect on your 808's
Distortion
@@BoloDaProducer So all I gotta do is turn the distortion, and my 808 will sound like that?
Naw I am just joking.
Bolo dont care.. G..
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I never wanna turn my computer on again 😂
If its not to much trouble, i would like to pick your brain a little bit my G.. let me know!!
Yall cats kill me with that "170" tempo mess. 85 you mean? With being able to do 64th triplets the need to go double tempo is ludicrous. Also you can set your metronome to 8ths. Not your fault. You probably learned it backwards that way. Really it does not matter, just do whatever to make music. The reality though is you are running double time.
