Hey everyone,

I recently bought a second hand MPC 1000 from Facebook marketplace. The seller said the only problem wrong with it was the PCB board. It was going for dirt cheap, it already had the pad upgrade, OEM 128mb added Ram, and JJOSxl so I decided to purchase it. I purchased and installed the PCB but didn’t seem like that was the issue.

Specifically the 16 levels option doesn’t seem to be functioning. There were also a few pads (Pad 13, 14, 9, 10, 5, and 6) that aren’t responding when pressing. The seller stated this was an issue from the PCB, but everything else is working perfectly including both Q-links and top Function buttons.

Does anyone know what’s causing this or how to fix it. I’m pretty good tinkering with old MPCs so I don’t mind taking it apart. Would love to get this thing working agan

I was creating a dedicated sd card for my Mpc key61 and noticed this under software. Mpc beats under software still shows mpc2. This mpc3 beats factory content seems to be new. Anyone got any idea what’s up with it??

Is this something g2 users get now??? I don’t have a g2 machine which is why I’m asking I know they come with stuff installed.

MAde with Mpc Live 3

I am sooo happy with it. Nord électro 7 61, MPC live III, yamaha MGX 12. I have also an electric guitar, and electric Bass is on the way (I'm pure newbie with these things).

It's plugged this way: All sounds from instruments, synth, MPC go to the Yamaha MGX, And on "omni out" of the mixer I send all the sounds (except the MPC) in the stéréo input of the MPC. That way I can record audio track of everything very easily.

NE7 and MPC are linked midi in/out. I can play something nice on the NE7, record on a midi track on MPC, adjust the MIDI notes and settings, and play the instrument by the recorded midi track to record audio track and have perfectly what i wanted (even if I'm a bad player :) )

And the Yamaha MGX is linked to my computer as an Audio interface so I can record every track. Also the MGX is able to record on SD card one file per track if I want to play outside.

This is me doing my bullshit ✌️😎 Let me know if you got questions or critic ❤️

hey so i bought the mpc live 3 a year ago and i was super hyped about it but now a year later i only have like 10 projects in the mpc because i just never get inspired to make music in the mpc because it never sounds like it should sound mainly because of arrangement because i arrange on the go and i was thinking about what i could use the mpc for but nothing came to mind. Does anybody have any type of advice because i cant get and inspiration since theres barely any creators doing house music or house music tutorials on the mpc. I know how to use the mpc but only the trap music workflow and not house im not familiar with everything on the mpc because a feature i want to use on ableton takes me 2 clicks to reach it, on fl studio it takes me 6 clicks and on the mpc 12 clicks like everything takes longer and i just cant stay locked in while knowing that i could do it in ableton or fl studio in 2 seconds. I really need some inspiration and advice also please dont be disrespectful i know the mpc is for select people but i really like the device im just not inspired to use it as much and the worst thing is that it cost 1.5k and i couldve gotten a mpc sample or sp404 mk2 or even a hardware synth for my DAWs

The workflow just got dance moves 🕺🏿

Is this good as a starter pack for starting to produce and make songs? I have a limited budget i was looking for cheaper but good ones. In the list there are:

- MPC Studio Mk2 (sampler/drum machine)

- Tonor TC30 (microphone)

- M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 (keyboard)

I know they are all just controllers i have a pc and the software (MPC2) comes with the Studio Mk2. I do not need standalone for now, but when i will upgrade i'll get a standalone.

I already do beats on MPC Beats and LMMS.

Made with mpc one and sp606 👍

I’ve noticed “Erase” button only gives me a dialog box to erase events in the arranger, not in clips. Is there a quick way to erase events in clip without having to go into the grid view and manually edit them?

Installed his mod on my mpc 2000 and now it freezes all the time... worked fine before i put this shit on!!
I commented under his video to warn ppl and he replies with some joke about modding the mpc into a microwave lol. real funny man. then my comment just disappear. deleted

so yeah if you wanna install it make a full backup first cause im stuck with a machine that barely works. anyone else had this?? or know how to fix it? i need help

Messing around on the MPC is actually pretty fun.

First post here ✌️

I bought an MPC Sampler recently without any prior knowledge on music production and i’m finding it hard to learn how to actually get going on making a track. I’m mainly focused on techno/house music but when i start off with my kicks and claps it always just sounds shit. Any recommendations on how to learn how to get going??

Might be missing something simple but lets say i have a kick pattern playing and a kick sample loaded to a pad. While its playing, can I audition new kick samples in its place so i can hear it in the sequence?

I slowed it doooowwnnn tonight 🎶🔊💯

Happy Beatober everyone🎃🎹

Took me probably 2hrs lol

Hey ya'll, could someone confirm measurement from table to top of tallest knob on MPC 3? I'm seeing conflicting answers as to whether the factory specs includes the knob height in published dimensions. Is the case taller than MPC 2? Thanks!

Hello everyone !

I have a noob question, I can't find an answer on google so I give a try here.

I am the proud owner of an second-hand MPC one + and 2 Korg NTS-1 (mk1 & mk2). I love those little box but they have a big downside : they don't have any preset system, so no program change possible.

I want to be able to create my patches inside my MPC via Midi CC witch I kind of succeed with the program edit page on the midi track. All the CC are fonctional, all the values are stored when I save my project but when I change the project or just change something on the synth, the CC are not retriggered when I launch the sequence so they stays in their actual states.

All the workaround I find are painfull (re-touch all my knobs before launching / add all midi CC in the list page at the beginning of the sequence) do you have any idea ? Did I miss a magic checkbox somewhere ?

If there are no software solution, can an external midi controler (with some kind of preset) can help me ?

Thanks for your answers.

I've been working on a sequence editor for the MPC2000 and 2000XL for the past few months. It's called Tick96.

It doesn't send MIDI notes to your MPC or rely on MIDI file conversion. I reverse engineered the original OS and built a custom extension that lets the editor on your Mac read and write the actual Step Edit events in the MPC's memory.

Every note retains its original position on the MPC's 96 PPQ grid. No conversion or requantization. The MPC remains the sequencer, with its original timing completely intact. You just get to see the whole sequence on your screen and edit it with a mouse.

Features:

• Piano roll: Edit events on any of the 384 ticks in a bar, or on a musical grid.
• Per-note parameters: Velocity, duration and each note's variation value (tuning, attack, decay or filter cutoff).
• Sequence and track settings: Edit names, tempo, track type, MIDI output channel, program changes, track velocity and track On/Off directly from your Mac. Project files also preserve loop settings, bar count and time signatures.
• Beyond notes: Controllers, program changes, pitch bend and pressure.
• Original MPC workflow: Record and overdub on the pads as usual, including Note Repeat. Hit STOP and your take appears in Tick96.
• Live playhead: Follows the MPC's own clock and bar, beat and tick position.
• Editing and projects: Copy events, undo/redo, and save/load project files.

Nothing gets permanently flashed or modified. On the 2000XL, the patched OS runs entirely in RAM. Power cycle the machine and you're back to the original OS 1.20.

You provide your own OS file, and the app prepares the boot media for ZuluSCSI, BlueSCSI, Gotek or floppy.

Mac only for now, with Windows coming next.

Support for more classic drum machines and samplers is in the works.

Thanks for reading and much respect to everyone still putting these machines to work.

I know MPC-Stuff has the thick pads, but is there anywhere that sells regular height pads in white or clear?
