I was doing it the hard way, I never touched that button until now. That’s the beauty of the MPC, you can do things that are comfortable to you.
This technique originated on the SP 1200 with the multimode and multilevel function
it's 8 pads not 16 but the very similar in concept.. great video
Once I learned this technique I never made a beat without it. I overuse it but that’s OK.
Same
yep
Same bruh😂 I kinda use the 16level horn technique in even trap beats
@@v5q211 I did it in a pop/house beat too and it worked quite well
@@soapnocs1079 sounds great in house beats fr!
Im glad found your videos.. opening up a lot of inspiration. new ideas..,creativity.. . Really like your videos are short..to the point and clear....keep hitting us in the head.. short and sweet😊
I want one, when I fond one at a good price I'll pick it up.
This is my kind of video. Good work. Keep em coming.
Although I do not have a mpc of 16, I have a great time learning good advice from your videos and putting into practice what I learned from each video, thank you very much Marlow.
Greetings, peace and respect.
Two things: 1. Absolutely fantastic video Marlow - probably one of my favorites! 2. I spy with my little eye The Chameleons “Script of the Bridge” album behind you - NICE!!! One of the greatest underrated bands of the 80’s.
Mannn I love this video. I was doing it the hard way. I was extracting my sample and changing the pitch of the copy Sample just so it could be in another key. This method saved so much time
You're welcome! 🙌🏼
I loved this video
I learned so much from this video I used the 16 levels for the first time today on my mpc !!🌊🔥
Fire dude. I am glad I found your channel.
Appreciate that 🙌🏼
So simple, but yet so effective!! Thanks for the reminder!
One of my Favourite new channels. Thank you for your content Marlow Digs 🎛
✌🏼thanks Luke
As I told you before, love this series! 👌🏼
Thanks bro ✌🏽
Nice Beat!! Thanks!!!
Great information
I’ll never forget my first time using 16 levels. I’ve used it on almost every MPC session since.
Good to see some actual beat makin knowledge .Keep it up...
This is some dope ass content! Picked up a lot techniques from this short video alone. Can’t wait to try them out. Thank you and never stop !! 🔥🔥
WordisBond. Especially that noise tip ✊🏽🕶️💜
Excellent video, the way you showed how 16 levels could be implemented using each track/element is such an effective way to teach! Thank you!
I keep coming back to your new record, love having your videos up here, big inspiration.
Truly great stuff man! 🔉🎧🎙️🔥❤️🔥
Thanks for tuning in ✌🏼
Helpful stuff.
i love this series. so inspirational.
Always informative and dope AF, big fan, thank you!
Many thanks for this Marlow. This is my favourite beat making channel bar none. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very impressed that you have a copy of Script of the Bridge by the Chameleons in the background there...
Thanks a lot for showing your I learned a lot with my MPC. Drizz DaNemesis
Your videos are priceless. I love your style of music.
Thanks Saul
I love this technique which you demonstrated, Marlow. You way you laid everything in 16 level is a unique way to create your beats!!! I also Tracklib is great tool when it comes to finding samples to chop and lay out in your drum machines!!! Its just as good as beat digging yet it's a little easier!!
Keep that heat coming
VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE ON THE MPC
Bought my first sampler a week ago, Live II. Got lost in your videos since then. Thank you. So. Freaking much. ❤
Very helpful video! Thanks.
Cool; MPC live II will be my master controller for the next level. Thnx Marlow Digs
Awesome vid Marlow!
I've subbed because your channel is dope and to the point, Love the humbleness also. Keep it going brother.
Thanks Bik-E J
The Professional.
This beat is amazing!! Another great vid!! Much love Marlow!!
A genius my G, showing them how it’s done.
@def creator A genius remembers and gives back, incites and motivates a new generation of beatmakers. Showing old techniques which me and you are familiar with and some i may have forgot is genius. So to question who i give flowers to is funny.
@@Ink0ne415 Damn, tell em man haha
@Jeff Hagenaars Well damnnn i"m sorry you feel this way that my definition of a genius is not yours. And it's sad that you think the brother is coping shit instead of just sharing knowledge son.
The sound is beautiful!
Thanks 🙏🏼
This beat is ultra dope. Another great vid. Respect!
Being someone who also has a diverse musical palate, that script of the bridge album in the back is a nice Easter egg. Good stuff @Marlow Digs
Great video my bro!
The 16 levels are so powerful. Also use em to make a snare slapback echo 💎
Please post more often King. 🙏
Thanks bro I definitely want to do that.
thank you marlow!
16 level on volume/velocity was the next evolution of the accent function on earlier drum machines like the TR line.
I see you with that pitch shift
I love 16 levels. It's the only reason why I use the mpc (software). Great video
Filipping the bird at 6:34 😉🔥
Came from the Emu sp12 the mpc60 came later studio440 had a pitch knob but not that chromatic still. Sp12 shaped hip hop boom bap.
Love your channel, man!
🙏🏼
thankyou for the tune tip
you can post a video per day and I would be your daily visitor. THX and great stuff as ever
wow thanks. this finally clicked for me. since i don't have an mpc, this way of describing it helped me apply it to my virtual drum machine for self-sampling horns and creating more interesting drum grooves. created some chops and set them across four pads with -2dB increments to similar effect.
Useful little tutorial
Amazing
16 levels of Velocity and Tune. Very very handy
Dope as always
Got my first MPC at 40yo, getting my head around it currently but your videos are inspiring. I just want to play around and make cool hip hop loops… this video is a huge help 🙌. I’m currently on Spotify listening to your music too, so chilled 😎
Thanks for watching the channel, have fun making those loops. 🙌🏼
Amazing vid, pretty much answered all the questions I’ve had from tinkering the last year
Thank you🤙🏿
Solid, per usual! Thank you!
Awesome video
Finally got TH-cam premium, gonna give that beat tape a listen!
10:33 gotta release this one 🔥
Great video, Marlo. Mucha gracias. Loved the beat as always. Bendiciones!
Gracias David
Great video. Gonna experiment with the 16 level button on my MPK249 next cook up.
This was perfect. With so much info🤘🏽🕶️💜
LOVE YOUR VIDS MAN!
Love your channel man always good content. Joined your patreon recently to support 🤘
Thanks for the support ✌🏼👊🏼
AWESOME as usual! 👊🏻
I keep forgetting I have TrackLib 😅thanks for reminding me
This is a great video. 202 is my favorite sauce.
nice sauce for sure
this is so good！
I see the Boss Sp 202 on the side. Good stuff man.
Masterclass in session!
🔥👍🏾🔥
Nice vid 💯🎵🎧
like this beat… sounds like an early 90‘s boom bap. 👍
This is the coolest shit ever!
The original SP-12 from 1986 had 8 levels, which Ced-Gee took advantage of on Ultramagnetic MC's "Ego Trippin'".
It's Very simple and useful video with good tips. Thanks for that. :^)
Great! 🤘🏼 😊 Do you have a Video about Dr. Sample, too?
I have a couple I think th-cam.com/video/EUaxNs5wo64/w-d-xo.html
huge impact on house music also
Hi, I just bought an Akai S01, € 100, a good price. Gives the signal pressure and character. The higher frequencies are lost a little…. relaxed sound I would say. If you ever get one, try this underdog. Another advantage is that it starts without a system disc
I'm really excited, color machine🍻
Nice one, I'll keep my eye on it.
WOW GREAT TUTORIAL . I WISH MPC BEATS HAD THAT 16 levels feature . l cant afford that machine,
I think it does actually. over the drum pads you should be able to see it.
MIGHTY MARLOW WITH THAT UTTER FUEGO EVERY TIME GOD BLESS
Thanks Akira 🙏🏼
🎶🎶🎶🎶
Great video
I love the 16 levels. I managed to pull out a good loop,but the overbeat isn't coming together :(
Gotta refine it don't give up
Dope tutorial as always, 👏🏾🔥🔥 fire beat at the end too…just wish I had an MPC 😭 imma iPad GarageBand beat maker sometimes on the laptop 💻
The end result is what matters
@@mpchead well as I’m a big fan of your music would love some feedback and I hope that ain’t too presumptuous 🙏🏾
imagine what would happen if Papa linn didn't exist!
Dude: I love your vids, but I gotta say: the use of Modes in Jazz waaaaaaaay pre-dates the invention of 16 levels on samplers.
You are correct in asserting that the re-pitching of melodic and harmonic samples does, in essence, result in progressions that could be called Modal.
But, just to name one example: Kind of Blue of 1959 is only the most famous musical work to deliberately be based on Modes, rather than chords. Miles actually handed out lead charts to the bewildered musicians, right before they were to start playing. The leads did not include the chords that these BeBop guys had come to expect from Miles (who, before, had never seemed to meet an Extended Chord that he did not love), but instead had instructions like: "when we get here, Trane you play this mode. And Bill, when we get to this measure, I need you to go into that mode."
That was in fact the expressed purpose of the session. Miles, single-handledly gave birth to new forms of music (Cool Jazz, Modal, Fusion) because he'd dive so completely into a form, and learn and dissect it so well, that he'd then get bored with it, "reached it's end", and was then ready to move on-ahead of, and leading-everybody else.
So, when you're doing Modes, I just need to say: you're not doing Akai, or Roger Linn. You're doing Miles.
Hey thanks for the history lessons, I appreciate it. I need to measures my words a bit more. I didn't mean that the 16 levels invented modal music, I was trying to say that it inspired jazz and Neo soul artists to push more towards this aesthetics of the 16 levels.
@@mpchead I believe the source from which I received those wonderful stories was a book I read in the '90s: "The Making of Kind of Blue". It totally goes into how Miles came to "discover" Modes (if I'm not mistaken, it was his longtime arranger Gil Evans that had read a book by this brilliant cat who was completely entralled with them-I forget the guy's name).
Miles had become completely bored with the "Chord Soup" that BeBop had become. Gil mentions this book to him, tells him he needs to read it, he does, and almost instantly Miles "tears up the rule book" and is convinced: this "Modes Thing" is where he's going.
No one had done it before in a Jazz context (certainly not to this degree) and so when everybody showed up for the Blue sessions, no one-not even Miles-really knew if it would work, or how it would sound. They just took the directions, had faith in their leader, and started playing, and several hours later they had made History. It's an awesome story.
So you might want to pick up the book-it's a rather short read of maybe 250 pages, and I think you'd like it.
I think if Pete rock when I hear this or madlib in he’s younger days
Smoooooth as phuck!
💪🏽🤘🏽
The MPC's 16 levels influenced Modal Jazz??? What??
I don't think that's what he said. He mentioned the modality created by 16 levels is found in jazz; meaning modality itself, not the MPC method.
What settings did you have the SP202 to make it feel so dirty ? Loved this Video Marlow . . . Thank you
Fantastic. I am new to the MPC (Live II) and completely misunderstood the 16 Levels thing. I thought it was for limiting the pad sensitivity to only 16 velocity values! Derp. This is so valuable. Thank you. // Do you have a video (explanation) for how you use the SP to 'dirty up' the MPC beats?
