I didn’t know about the lower velocity button, so thanks for that! Another one I use a lot is if you’re editing a value with the control encoder, shift+the encoder makes it go faster. This works for scrolling projects or presets, setting the clip play length, etc. If you’re setting a measure step length, it jumps in multiples of 16 which is super convenient. Keep up the 101 content!
I left this same comment in your video about updates with 1.6, but thought I would add it here as well. Hope I am not overdoing it. I promise I will not put it elsewhere. Really enjoy your informative videos. It looks like you actually answer questions which I can't say is the case with all TH-camrs. I am planning to use my MC-101 with my Roland DJ 707M controller in a live performance situation. I am also planning to use an Akai MPK249 to control the MC-101. To complicate the situation, I am also mixing in my MPC Live to the mix. So I want the tempo clock from the 707M to pass through the MPC Live and on to the Akai MPK249 and then to the MC-101. I have seen ways that I can use the Akai MPK249 to control the MC-101 controlling MIDI 1thru 4. I just want to make sure that I can still have global tempo control over everything. I know this is a complicated set up. Can you advise?
Hi Gary - That is a lot of devices!!! Sounds like fun. Let me have a think about your set-up. Unfortunately I don't have that many devices or MIDI cables, but I’ll play around and I will get back to you. In the meantime, off the top of my head, I think on the MC-101 the settings you should be playing with are: Shift+Filter (to enter utility) ->"System"->"Sync Src" - I think you will need to set this to MIDI to get the clock from the 707M (in my experience AUTO seems to be really unstable). In this same SYSTEM(MIDI) menu there are Track Ch1 (to Ch4) -> by default there are set to CH1 to CH4, so make sure that the MPK is sending MIDI on each of these channels to send to a specific track. There is also new setting called “Auto Ch” - which if you set your MPK to this, it will send to the currently selected track on the MC-101. Also I think you need some sort of MIDI through enabled on everything in the chain to get the clock from the 707M all the way through to the MC-101. Thanks for watching. If I can figure a setting somewhere close to this (I also have an MPC Live, and could use a MiniNova in place of the MPK, and a Maschine+ in place of the 707M) I'll make a video as it will be probably easier than trying to explain via messages!
Not sure what unit you have, but I don’t get any of those sub menus, for example when I press Shift I get END80 not any of the submenus or options shown, very confusing.
Thanks for watching There is not an easy way, but I've managed to hack it by: 1)Press Tempo to enter tempo settings, 2)scroll to master scale and change it to 1/16T (i.e. 16th note triplets) then. 3)change master step length to 18 The other way is the use master sale of 1/8T and master step length of 9 Metronome will do a 3/4 time = but all your patterns will be of weird lengths (you will see them blank out of the step sequencer as pink)
No worries - I have a couple of "beat breakdown" episodes where I walk through each track on the MC-101 and how I finish in the DAW - here is the playlist! th-cam.com/play/PLTZt7yNumdxbk9gGbCNsCgykP_XmjpgV0.html
Haha! Thanks for watching - sorry it was recorded on my laptop mic during lockdown. Hopefully the quality is better in my newer videos...I've upgraded to a neumann mic.
Hi teabreakbeats, very good tips, super handy I did’t no them. I’ve got a little comment, can you make your speech sound better. It sounds you are very far from the microphone.
Yes - sorry I was stuck recording on the inbuilt mic on the laptop as I was stuck away from home during lock-down. I've just moved back and will have access to a proper microphone! Thanks for watching!

Thanks, great tip!
Very useful! Thanks! Was a bit annoyed with going into menu to turn on and off the metronome, ...but now it's much better.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching - check out part 2!
This video is a hidden GEM! Thanks
Thanks David - If you like this, then I recommend watching pt2!!! th-cam.com/video/i0AmiWRcy-E/w-d-xo.html
thanks bro!
Thanks for watching! I have a part 2 video as well!
Thank you so much, this is super useful! The 101 manual is lacking on this kind of info badly.
No worries - thanks for watching! I've actually been reading the manual...and it's not an easy read! I'll make more videos soon!
Dude. Fantastic video. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching - check out the part 2 video!
@@teabreakbeats yeah already did, super useful. Do you upload your music anywhere? Sounds like some super chill stuff.
very very useful tips
Thanks - make sure to watch part 2|
Super helpful video! Thank you for making this!
Glad to help! I've got a part 2 video with more shortcuts tool!
This is super useful!! Thank you so much!
You're welcome! If you like this then check out the Part 2 video!
Nice! Great help! Thanks

Thanks to share these precious tips. you just got one more subscriber ;)
Thanks for the sub! Check out the Part 2 video for more shortcuts!
Amazing!
Thanks for watching!!! I have a Part 2 video also if you are interested!
Great post love this info👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Very cool!
Cheers Lutra!
Ohh bro thanks a lot! 🙌
No problem 👍Make sure you watch Part 2! Thanks
Nice!
Thanks David! Remember to check out the Part 2 video too!
Is there way to change the metronome from doing just a standard 4/4 time? For example can I change the metronome to where it’s doing 3/4 Time?
Thanks for watching
There is not an easy way, but I've managed to hack it by:
1)Press Tempo to enter tempo settings,
2)scroll to master scale and change it to 1/16T (i.e. 16th note triplets) then.
3)change master step length to 18
The other way is the use master sale of 1/8T and master step length of 9
Metronome will do a 3/4 time = but all your patterns will be of weird lengths (you will see them blank out of the step sequencer as pink)
Hi - Please ignore my previous reply, There is a much simpler way to do it and I've made a video th-cam.com/video/NcdZLD5AiVk/w-d-xo.html
Man thank you!!!
Can you do a workflow video, then we can see your approach to make a track
No worries - I have a couple of "beat breakdown" episodes where I walk through each track on the MC-101 and how I finish in the DAW - here is the playlist! th-cam.com/play/PLTZt7yNumdxbk9gGbCNsCgykP_XmjpgV0.html
Thank you for those Tips! Do you know if there's the same shortcut for Subnotes on the MC707? Cant figure it out because there js no SEQ Button 🥵
Hi Error Kit, thanks for watching; really sorry but I don't have the 707 so can't try it out! Hope you find it!
@@teabreakbeats Note + Step 😎👍
Looking for a way to send midi from a clip that has no sound.. like track 4 controlling external source with no sound selected on the mc101
If I figure it out I'll let you know (As a workaround why not turn the fader down to zero?)
When you say shortcut i hear "shukka"
Haha! Thanks for watching - sorry it was recorded on my laptop mic during lockdown. Hopefully the quality is better in my newer videos...I've upgraded to a neumann mic.
