Thanks brother, this is exactly what I was looking to be able to do with the MPC and my hardware synths. I bought the MPC after new update allowing audio interface, but the looper is a bit lacking. I got the MPC instead of waiting for the new Boss Looper coming out, but even though the looper is weaker than I expected, everything else about the MPC has blown me way and now going to keep it even though it doesn't do exactly what I originally was hoping for.
But this workaround gets close. Hopefully Akai will update this in the future, should be an easy update if they focus on it at all. It seems like they should combine the looper with the clip launcher, both are two of the weakest functions they have. Record loop and drops it into a clip program then allowing to easily adjust bar sizes etc.
I hadn't thought about that but that is the perfect idea to combine the looper with clips. Excellent 👌 glad you're liking the ONE have fun!!! Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. This comment gets a pin 📌✌
Thank you both! Interesting ideas! I hope, @AkaiProVideo is listening.
Saw this was possible work around on another video, but couldn’t work it out. You’ve made it much clearer and it works wonderfully! I am looping to a few tracks using modular synth. I discovered testing this workflow out that for me, looping separate tracks, putting th trigger on a separate track, still on pad 1 on each track, and each track having its own program makes for a better work flow. First, it seem,s when you export the loop it automatically gives the next free track. So that gets your loop going pretty quick. Secondly, you can set up different effects on each track that can then be controlled by q-links or separate gear. Also you can set up program volumes to be set to different Qlink volumes....or you could set the tracks I guess. What that means is you can mix the pads more easily. You can probably do that anyway, I just find it easier. As for setting up the triggers, I’ve only just thought of an interesting way to try it... set up the first trigger track: program 1, and the pad 1 trigger; then set the midi routing to send to track 2, program 2. That trigger will then play the same trigger note ( I think). Set track 2 to send midi to track 3, program 3....and so on. Keep going, you’re doing great. I’m a Church of England minister in the uk.... as well as being a musician DJ and kids book illustrator. Keep being creative and giving God your focus and talents, peace and blessings!
Nice workflow. Thx for your Tips!
This is a great idea, not the most seamless live looper but a good reminder there are always different ways to use the mpc
Thank you. This is a very nice idea. I will try to use it next time I switch on my gear.
🍻 hope it works out well for You 🙏
Somthing else that works dope for live looping is using clip launch mode. You can create your own loops as tracks then bounce the track to a sample and throw them on pads to launch as clips. With a little planning you can set up some intricate live performances across different sequences and have parts where you can preform live over it as well. Its good for experimenting with new tracks also.
Thank You for the insight 🙏 I've never used clips at all! But I've been recently curious to explore them.
@@LiftedNoise Yea man np. I just recently started trying them out myself and am really loving the feature so far. Aside from making my own loops to use its also great if you grab samples off Splice or somewhere too. Sometimes I'll just find a dope drum or melodic loop I like, throw it on a clip and preform live over it to build out a new track. Its really versatile if you get creative with it and you can put some nice sets together.
Thank you so much. I was way confused until seeing this. I didn’t know you have to wait for the loop to come back around before starting the performance
Live looper is good for resampling whilst your tweaking the synths parameters
🤔 nice tip, thank You! 🙏
a better way would be to use midi program trigger the synth oscillators while you record the parameter mods
I've had my Live MK2 for a year and still learning new things from you. Thank you so much for putting in the time, effort, and knowledge into these videos. Everytime I watch one, I learn something new.
No doubt man 🙏 I enjoy creating and sharing the knowledge that I have in these videos. My pleasure. Thank You for the supportive words.
Looper Is For Tracking Quick Ideas On A Single Track, Best For Solo Instruments...
If You Wanna MultiTrack Its Better To Record On The Audio Tracks, That Way You Achieve Your Goal Of Live Looping And You'll Have Separated Audio Files To Chop Later, And You Can Trigger Them The Same Way In A Drum Program...
Multitrack possibilities are nice now with 2.10!!
This is a dope workaround
Glad You liked it! 🙏
Good workaround. I'm starting out on the MPC from scratch so videos like this are really helpful. Thankyou
No doubt. Glad to help 🙏
THAT helped alot, thanks!
man of your word... thank you brother.
My pleasure 😊 🙏
Thank you for the tutorial. It gave me inspiration for how I can hook the MPC up to my digital piano and jam.
it will be helpful❗️thx❗️
😎 no doubt! Thank You for watching 🙏
Slick! Very creative!
Gonna have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
No doubt 🙏 thanks for dropping in bro 🙏
Yo !! That was a slick way of creating stems from looping
Great! Thanks for the tips about the tracks loop's preparation in advance!
No doubt 😎 🙏
Thanks again for the MPC tips Lifted...SBN RESONATE
🙏 no doubt! Thanks for dropping in bro.
Very cool idea. More flexible.🎉
I think the looper is JUST useful, when instruments can‘t be hooked up via midi, meaning live instruments, vocal lines etc., which are desired to be on exact bars, anything else doesn‘t make sense.
Yes exactly what I use it for. I don't use the looper this way but someone requested to see this in action.
Been following your channel for a while now, always coming through. Much respect and thanks!
Thank You 🙏 I appreciate that!!
Never used looper before but it sounds like a lot of work at the moment lol. Love the tutorials bro!
🤣 yes!! I saw Accurate beats do this on maschine+ it was a whole lot better.
They should work with marc rebillet on this for the 3.0 software
@@Parialated 😁 haha yea! Definitely!
Finally found your channel bro 🫡 salute
😎🍻
🔥🔥🔥 thanks for the tip yo
i've never used live looper but I can see myself using it to play in some live sounds from my trumpet, bass or guitar.
I think that is it's best purpouse. If you want to record in audio in sync with your sequence and you don't necessarily want it hitting on the 1. Otherwise you'll have to program your pad hit in where you want it. Not impossible but this makes it easier.
@@LiftedNoise yeah I'll experiment with it and see if I can get a good workflow out of it.
Great video. I need to use the looper function for a creative idea. Dope work.
I don't use it this way. Someone requested the idea but I've always looked at as a great way of recording external instruments/synths.
Don’t have the MPC One and still watched every minute. Don’t know if I’ve ever dropped a line to say I love the channel and have been watching for a while now. Keep it up bro!
🙏 thank You I appreciate that!! I really enjoy your channel as well. Really dope stuff! Thanks for stopping by bro ✌
A faster way(maybe) is using the step sequencer. That way your timing is perfect and your levels is set to whatever you program them to be. Try it out and see which way works best for you. Great video 🧔🏽🙏🏽
Good thought, you do mean for preprogrammed pads? I feel like you'd still need full velocity on but I haven't explored the step sequencer, I never use it so good suggestion for me. 🙏
I knew before buying my MPC One that it could not replace my RC-505. But everything else on the MPC is mind blowing and can do much more for me and my workflow than my my 505
Thanks for sharing. Both have their dedicated uses. Live looping always been a fascinating thing to me but I don't utilize it so not a big deal for me with the mpc looper limitations. I have found good use of it though. Best case is, if I need to resample a part that doesn't hit exactly on the one, the looper will get me a more accurate loop than if I where to do it in the sampler screen.
Nice tip right there. Ddint think to just pre-setup the program and the pads on the grid. Was just recording each loop then programming it into the grid one at a time.
Yea it's not the best option but a decent work around for looping if you need it 🙏 thank You for watching.
Sick workaround!! Thx bro!
😎 no doubt 🙏thank You for watching bro!!
THX Dude!
No doubt 🙏
This is awesome, There is no wrong way to make music... The list of what the MPC can do is endless... Thank you for sharing the greatness as always... Loving the chords...
Peace and Blessings Always 🙏🏿👆🏾💯
There is a lot in there. Thank You 🙏 how's your experience with the MPC so far?
Hoping to see some videos from you with the MPC. 😎
GOD BLESS. 🙏
@@LiftedNoiseYa know... It's going pretty good👍🏾😁..... I am having fun with it... Ever so intrigued by the finger drumming... Lol...
Appreciate you.. Blessings Always 👆🏾🙏🏿💯
Thanks. This goes a long way to try and adjust for someone coming from using loppers like boss 505.
Ay no problem. Glad I could help. 🙏
Brilliant. Thanks lifted. Gonna be sweet for gtr!
Awesome! Saw this trick over at eyewillcreate! Hopefully they can make the looping function a little more versatile!
I do remember talking to him about this subject and seeing his video. I kind of feel like eventually they will make it better.
You’re doing good bro thanks
🙏 thank You brother.
super useful video, thanks for sharing!
Definitely. My pleasure 🙏
Excellent 👍. I rarely use the audio tracks and the sampler is no good for recording parts that need to stay in time so this is great. Thanks for posting.
Perfect use for what your saying. Thanks for dropping by Mick 🙏
Always great info bro and the studio is growing nicely
🙏 thank You bro! Waiting on a nice case for the po33.
Nice Keep Pushing!!!!!
Thank You 🙏 will do!
Good video
🍻 😎
Nice job 👍🏾 now that I have the Korg Kronos, I’ve been using the loop in a similar fashion. 👊🏾
That's dope! I had my eye on the nautilus for a while but talked myself out of it.
@@LiftedNoise really your playing has improved since we hooked up and did you piano lesson. You should really think about getting a serious keyboard 🎹 They really inspire creativity. Hope you get it! The Nautilus it’s dope!!👊🏾
This is good to make producer tags and vocal choruses
this is dope. I never use the looper. I need to fwi
🙏 yeah I hardly use it either. If I had some external synths I'd be using it more
Thanks for this! I wanted to see the looping options within the mpc one and I think I’ve got a better idea of its capabilities now. This looper function looks like a great way to explore ideas and make beats, but not sure how useful it is for live looping, especially if you want to add samples from the mpc on the fly. I’ve never used an mpc one so I’m not sure if there are ways to adapt the workflow for live looping… Perhaps it allows for less menu diving during the performance if you create a looping template beforehand?
Yea it's not your best option by a long shot if your mainly a live looping performer. I've only used the looper for recording an external synth in sync with sequences. I think that's it's strength. Definitely make a template for this if you want use it like this.
After using sp 404 mk 2 looper I said I know my mpc has to have this and it did smh just realized
I might have used the loper one time 😣
Greetings, I could loop like this and when exporting the loop it didn't stop, that was before the new update of mpc one, now with the new update when exporting the loop for and when giving keep it doesn't send it directly to the pad that I assign you, has it happened to you? Do you have any solution? Cheers
Nice video! I have a quick question have you figured out a way to turn the keys on mini play to full velocity? I can't figure it out
Never looked into it but you probably want to look for a download for the editor software for pc/Mac that's most likely how you change velocity curves.
First!
You got me 🤣
@@astroidroach1873 Yup, Yup! Quick on the Draw this time. lol
thanks bro.. just what im looking to learn but question... what is that lil device u used to do the beat with? I never saw that before

Anyone have an issue with the looper when you have your MPC set to receive midi clock? When I do and hit record in the looper it instantly turns off the rec button. I put the MPC back as master and it works flawlessly.
🔥🔥 do you know if you can use the looper like a loop record? Like stack takes without hearing the last take so you can pick whatever take is the best?
No last I used the looper it compiles all takes over in one audio file, that's why Iade this work around. It's not the best live looping option but it has its purposes.
LN, after you export out of the looper to a audio file can't you explode that on to different trax❓
Well you can export the audio to a pad and trigger that on a sequence but if you layer audio as it loops around you can only export that as one file, no separate files. That's why I showed this workaround.
Isn't the MPC a looper on its own. Not seeing the point of this function?
Well it is capable of looping of course but not in the same way as one of those looping pedals you would use to do live performance stuff with external instruments. This is a work around for that type of situation.
Did you create a different program for each track?
No just a different pad for each loop all on the same program.
👍🏾
🙏
Where did you get that Dilla skin for the pads?
It's a sticker I bought on ebay and I cut it out to fit on the pads
Thx for sharing I recorded a vocal loop with a sequence. When I export, it only exports the looped vocals and not the sequence with it. Any help is much appreciated
You'll want to bounce to sample. From the home screen in the SEQUENCE section, tap the pencil ✏ icon to the right, in the screen that opens there will be a BOUNCE TO SAMPLE function this will export everything in that sequence to a single audio file.
Sweet! Thank you. I was just exporting from the looping page. I’m working five straight doubles and look forward to this as soon as I can. You rock and I’m excited to watch more of your videos. Thanks again!
Ay no problem! 🙏 thank You for watching!! 5 straight doubles 🤯 man that time off is going to feel good, you earned it! 🙌 enjoy bro! Hope you make something that feels good ✌
Cool man! Thx! I know right?! I love the mpc one! It’s so amazing and messing with samples is a dream when I first saw you, I did a double take. I was like damn! He can drain threes for the warriors AND make killer beats tee tee he
Lol yeah bro I hear that quite a bit on YT but never in person. Used to play hoop in 8th grade but that's about it. The ONE is dope bro! Enjoy the process 💯
Will mpc's automatically quantize?
You can set it on and it will automatically quantization to the settings you choose or it can be turned off.
It would be dope if there was the option to have every 4 bar recorded loop got its own wave file, smart work around tho
Yea definitely that would be great 👍if the looper had it's very own dedicated tracks that would be nice too.
