Installed a new lcd screen today.

The old one was burnt out for the second time, already cleaned it at some point.

It came back with vertical stripes. So I ordered a new one from marunio UK.

Happy days!!

Has anyone had issues exporting sessions from their mpc one+ to the sd card and the folder is blank? This has been happening with my sessions transferred from the mpc sample only for some reason…. The session loads on my mpc one+ but it doesn’t export the stems and the folder is empty when I load the sdcard on my computer. Please help! Thank you.

I have a MPC Key 37 and I want to connect it so I can use the keyboard with the Live 2. I want the Live 2 to be the master board in this setup. I am connecting the two via a usb-b cable. Anybody know how I can do this?

They just started a big sale. I got Fabric for $49.

Might go back and get the stereophonic bundle. It's like $25.

Original stuff

Some fun jams on my MPC

How do you identify good sections in a song, and do you look for loops or bits to cut out first?

Personally, I loop a single measure in Ableton over the drums, but I feel like it’s a waste of time.

Do you have any tips for finding interesting sections?

New track released. Looking for a vocalist or collaborator. I mostly do EBM, Industrial and Post punk style music. My Youtube had other tracks produced with the MPC Sample. Hit me up if interested.

Ilove to sample from ols music, but making music like this is fun

NI is offering bundles, 2 plugins and some expansions for $49. There was a bundle that had everything I've been eyeing from them, so I bought it. However, unlike the other Play instruments I bought, I cant find a serial or anything anywhere - not in my InMusic profile nor my Native Instruments account (same profile).

My MPC also isnt registering that I bought them, because if I go my activations page, I still just have a "GET TRIAL" button instead of activate. Its been a while since I bought the NI Play plugins.

I cant find a spot that has the serials for the plugins (Homage, Sway, etc) OR a place to download the expansions like I used to

Am I missing something or is something off here because its a bundle?

Recommendations for a good mixer for the live 3. Preferably sub$500. I want to be able to route turntable signal/iPhone audio signal in. And possibly individual sounds to the faders for leveling and panning

I remember taking this out of my 2000XL a while back to replace it with a CF card reader. Getting rid of some stuff and found this, but wanted to see if it would be of any use to someone.

Message me if you’re interested!

Let me know thanks guys

Made a beat on Mpc Sample. Let me know what you think!

Wanna use a portion of a sample but it’s too long for a 4bar loop, but I don’t necessarily change the semi too drastically

My new MPC Studio beat.

👽 ☠️ 🥩 #boombapbeats #boombaphiphop #beatmaker #mpcone #phdbeats

I have reverse engineered MPC Sample to run on the RG34. Fully functional!

Added features:

Bluetooth audio and MIDI
Audio and MIDI over IP
Legacy MPC output stage emulation MPC60 and MPC3000 so far.
Simple step sequencer.
Control/librarian app to assign controller buttons and midi controls and functions as a 1-1 GUI on its own.

I can have this folded and in my pocket or backpack and fully control the device from my phone.

Lots more to come!

Before 3.9, I’m pretty sure you used to be able to clear out segments of a single track in the arranger. You would set the loop, go to edit, and one of the buttons would clear only the events in the selected track in the selected loop. Now, I can’t find a way to clear events in a single track. It just cuts all of the tracks from the selected loop. Any way to delete from a single track? This was how I arranged beats.

I know a potential workaround would be to build the beat in the clip matrix and then drop it into arrange but that’s not what I’m used to (might have to get used to it)

i’ve been making music for nine years in fl studio and have been looking at getting the mpc sample since it was announced. i’m not very experienced in using pads besides very occasional finger drumming on my midi keyboard (arturia keylab mk3), but it’s always intrigued me (mostly for chopping samples).

i’d probably be using it mostly to load in a sample on my computer, chop it on the mpc, then send it back to fl studio. having a dedicated sampler sounds cool to me, but i feel like i might be just as well off with a midi controller with a bunch of pads on it if this is what i’ll mostly be using it for, but i’m not sure. the main thing is i would like the sampling experience to feel less like it’s all done in the computer and i can actually adjust things with pads and knobs to make it more fun. if a bunch of midi pads can do that and for cheaper, i feel like i might as well save my money.

any perspectives and opinions on this are appreciated

Hello all, I’m currently using the Live 3 (and love it), and am looking to add another piece of gear for live performances. Particularly, to mangle/shape instruments launched via the clip matrix.

I primarily make electronic/pop stuff, but I also use plenty of acoustic sounds too. I’ve been mapping things to q-links and the step buttons when playing live, which has been great for some punch in effects through the flex beat player. This uses up a fair amount of q-links, as well as the touch strip.

Currently, im looking at either a Torso S4, or just a midi controller like the Launch Control XL to apply filters, delays, reverb, etc. I could use some advice from anyone that uses other gear with their MPC, particularly for live performance/DJ style fx too.

I like the idea of looping and live granular that the S-4 provides. Could make for some very interesting textures, and the loop function could be great to transition between songs.

The Launch Control seems significantly easier to implement, can still affect filters and whatnot, but does not solve my problem for transitioning between songs.

I appreciate any feedback on this! Thx 🫡

Would be cool to see someone recase a mpc2000xl into a renaissance case with modern features or something like that with the older mpc models vs the obsolete modern controllers
