i haven’t done anything real time so i don’t know if it can.
i’m not to familiar with midi. not to sure homie.
well if the mpc 1000 is anything like the 500 then i think i know what i gotta do… i just need a mixer… but thanx for da reply man hope to collab wit u on somethin in da future
can this make samples with wav or mp3 files or only self-recorded stuff ?
you can sample wav’s and mp3′s as well. i do it all the time.
thanks rios! since then i’ve bought the mpc500 and sampled a lot !! its great! thanks for the tutorials!! peace!
hey man nice beats… does the korg have an arpreggiator? ..also to start recording from bar 1 hold rec and start/play buttons and it automatically goes to the star of the phrase. saves u having to back it up…peace
can i sample from my ipod?
yup. as long as you have a rca connector that has a headphone jack on the other end.
the korg does have an arpeggiator. and thanks for the info i didn’t know that. i always press the buttons to go back to the start of the sequence.
Thanks for your videos, they have helped me alot!
I got one problem with my 500, I cant record my microkorg for long, all in all maybe 30 seconds or something like that. And I dont mean 30 seconds straight, I mean in total, all syntheziser recordings together. Is this because I dont have the 128mbit ramcard? I guess it is, thats why I ordered one today but I would like an answer so I dont walk around like a fool.
Take care, and thanks for your help.// DJ Ganja.
A MIDI ???….
Man, how do I get better sounds for my MPC 500? The sounds it came with are some shit.
this is a good way to sample Bass Lines haha
is the akai mpc 500 as good as the mpc 1000? what’s the ifference between them apart from the 4 pads?
thanks bro for the info peace and god bless.
What are thos cords called so I can order them…
thank you man ! i am seriously greatfull for your tutorials.. i appreciate it !!
Yo rios!!! can i not connecting the mpc and the microkorg with 2 midi cables and record driect over the sequence??
can you upload drums on the mpc 500
a pimp u is da shyt
Sure, it is a sampler. You can use the USB for that. Copy samples from the PC to the MPC Compact Flash card.
It is treated like a mass storage device, AFAIK.
which cable are you using at the beginiiing
why dont you dump your recorded keys into your comp, clean em up, use whatever plug-ins to make the keys sound better, than chop em up and play em on the pads for a better sound..
yeah if you have a program on your pc (im using pro tools) you can record your keys or whatever into your program, add fx, and chop your samples in pro tools then load them into the mpc…i do that because some times the keyboard sounds too… i dunno synthy? sometimes it doesnt sound raw enough so i add effects and do whatever in PT then load them to the mpc and mess with the pads…
man wat is ur MySpace page
