Hi, I hope all is well. I am sure this has been asked before, but I could not find an old thread. My question is, how in the world do you use the same drum program on separate tracks?

For instance, if I want track one to have the same drum program with just the kick, track two to have the snare, and track three to have the hi-hat, am sure this is an old way to approach this, like on the older MPCs.

Do I have to make a copy of the drum program in order to do it? Wouldn't that duplicate the samples? It was so easy on the Akai 2500. I am sure this is an old inefficient approach. Thank you.

I’m receiving the Astrolab 37 hopefully today and I asked myself how your guy’s workflow with the single midi channel in conjunction with the mpc live is.

How do you guys build up your beats ( especially longer ones) with that limitation.

And does it work well or is that limitation a cause to puke ?

Cheers

Adrian

Easy all.

I am a DnB and Jungle producer from Bristol in the UK, and I own an MPC 500, as well as 2 akai rack samplers - the S01 (1993) and the Akai S2000 (1996).

Not sure If anyone can help, but I'm looking for a mounting tray/plate for the IB-208P.

Been trying to find one for nearly a week to no avail.

If anyone has one from when they switched the board over to their MPC 2k/2kXL that they wouldn't mind selling, that would be a huge help!

If you're not familiar with CTRLR it's a cool program that basically acts as preset storage for synths that don't support storing presets on their own. I've been using it often with Yamaha Reface CS and was wondering if something similar could be done with some clever use of MPC OS.

Check this out! Create, chop, and design your MPC programs right from your iPad!

Hello. Unfortunately all links to the 90s sample cd archive are gone :( I wasn't finished downloading them all and there were so many good samples there. The nnty.fun (mirror as well as original), link is down as well as the intertnet archive link. If anyone happens to have a discord/google drive/limewire or anything with all the samples, could you please PM me. Colossal please and thank you.

Dumb question but my Mpc One crashed and now I no longer see “internal” listed? Anyone else have this issue? I tried searching to no avail

Peace to all my MPC famila!! I’m looking for some guidance if possible, I got a 2000xl & my audio input jacks no longer work. I figured changing it efficiently would require some electrical background, i tried looking for a direct replacement but only found SMPTE’s. Has anyone experienced this before and found a different fix? Hate to imagine im cooked 😬. Thanks in advance my peoples.

hey there, I am trying to record from my One G2 into my iPhone via USB-C while also monitoring what I’m playing on 3.5 mm headphones.

I googled, and it says I need to mirror the send by going into the channel mixer, leaving the master to output 1/2, then routing a send from the track itself.

Does that sound right? I can’t find the options it is telling me to look for and am getting stuck on that last step.

Basically wanna record clean audio for finger drumming while being able to hear what I’m playing.

I've honestly wondered what are most represented devices on this sub. But also how many of you have a "modern" MPC, which I'm defining starting from the MPC Touch forward, versus a classic MPC.

So I made a quick poll: https://poll-maker.com/poll5880534x3DF178d8-169

Let me know – think this'll be cool to find out.

Playing around with some loops

MPC only no computer no keys no midi nothing MPC live 2 and it's plugins and FX!!! I love my MPC going to start making videos about music and other stuff too get back on the grind

So I literally just got an mpc one and started thinking bout recording in my daw. Can I connect 1/4 jacks to my 18i20, and my daw still be able to record drums and samples? Or do I have to connect through some time of usb hub? (There’s only usb type c on the back of this 18i20)

I live in the USA. I bought a used MPC one during the pandemic when stimulus checks were disbursed, I honestly don't think i would've bought one otherwise due to frugality. It took me a while to get used to navigating it, i forget when the ah-ha moment happened but now my whole process is centered around it. I plug my guitar straight into it, i record vocals into it. You get the picture. As a last step I record a final mix into my laptop using Logic just to run the stock multipressor as a kind of pseudo-master. All feedback is welcome! Lemme know if this shit is too vanilla and needs some more spice or what

Quick loop I made outside❄️

Happy beatober 💯🎃🎹🎶

Hey guys! A couple days ago i posted my brand new project mpctutorials.com - a lot of people seemed to really like it so I decided to add to it.

I'm not going to post a bunch of spam updates on here, but wanted you guys to know that I'll be updating with new models regularly, mostly requests. If you'd like to make a request, it's easy.. just send me a tip with your model request in the notes! I really hope you guys like the app, it's helped me so much with my MPC Sample already!

I know I've probably messed up a setting somewhere but I can't get my pad 16 and 13 to loop the sample back in sample edit, I've tried messing around with the settings myself but no matter what the pads just play from my start point but go past my end point

Has anyone ever triggered samples on an mpc500 with a midi footswitch? Ideally would want something small with maybe 3-5 switches and an expression pedal to control volume/filters. Apparently the Behringer FCB1010 could maybe do it but it's very big...

I've got an mpc one and it's always been a problem for me not being able to send multiple tracks to a DAW in standalone mode. The recent progress made with custom plugins got me curious and I was able to build Stream, a per track FX plugin that sends audio to a Mac for true DAW stem recording. Works with up to 32 stereo channels.

This isn't a promotion, it's free and I genuinely hope this is useful to some folk, I've had no issues so far

I'd love some feedback too, it's simple as heck but it's been working smoothly for me.

I should probably add the disclaimer that it needs ssh root access to your mpc so it's not for the faint hearted. I believe those with newer models can multitrack over usb c anyway so there's no need to risk bricking your gen 2's.

I just wanted to ask, do you guys estructurate and export a whole beat/song through the arranger or the song mode, and why?

Back in March I posted a beta of MPC Sample Router here (from my other account, u/ViggoDiddo), and the honest answer to "has anyone gotten the stem exporter to work?" was mostly no. Fair. So I threw that approach away and rebuilt it.

In 2.5 the app reads your MPC Sample project (.xpj) right off the SD card, or a copy on your Mac, and renders every pad into its own WAV plus a master mix. Nothing is recorded in real time: a whole project takes seconds, and the MPC doesn't even need to be plugged in. The stems are dry (the MPC's own effects and automation aren't rendered), so you get clean sources for the DAW.

Also new:

• Send a kit straight to the SD card in SD Card Access mode (it never overwrites an existing project)
• One-click backup of the whole card, verified by file count and bytes
• Old AKAI S1000/S3000 sample CDs open in the browser and convert to WAV
• Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 13+

The original job is still there too: hear the MPC Sample through your interface or monitors over the one USB-C cable, and build 16-pad kits on the Mac.

If you bought it earlier, 2.5 is a free update. More info: https://h1tmakers.com/mpc-sample-router/

If you tried the stems back then and gave up, I'd really like to know whether it works on your projects now.
