@@BaZzacRe Thanks! Yes it’s great at chopping. Particularly as the way it sequences is quite unique. For example when you go into what’s called LOOP MULTIMODE, the 2400 splits a sample into 8 equal slices. Let’s say you program those slices over 1 bar but don’t like one of the snares. You can then either replace that snare by recording over it with another slice on a different pad, or you can actually choose a completely different section (slice) of the sample on the original pad by adjusting the start and end points of that slice. I have an S2400 Production Techniques course that covers this process and more in detail. Link in description above 👆
@@TUBEDIGGA Cool. Cheers for that. I mean the Creator / Brad of this Unit even did wear the old" Junglist" Shirt so i hoped it would also be somehow a bit modified for us Jungle/DNB Heads in mind instead of just keeping the original HipHop Massive who dig the SP1200 for the Oldskool programming style. I have old Roland Samplers like S550 and S760 (also the Octatrack, but i never got into it (yet) ) but im really interested in the S2400 so any info more on it helps me deciding to buy it or not.But it sounds really interesting with the MULTIMODE for example. I may check out your courses Mate.. Big up and keep it Sharp Shootin' ;)
Can finally follow this with the 3.0 drop today lol. Just a heads up, it looks like your course website link might be misspelled as "cources". Thanks for the tutorial!!
@@ram_frog Shit! Thanks for that, I’ve updated it now. I usually do a bulk edit so all the descriptions are the same for all my videos but this one I edited manually. Appreciate the heads up, good eyes!
Public Beta drops... I buy MPC 3 Essential Features course... Five minutes into the very first video and it's already paid for itself. Brilliant. Highly recommended! ✊
I'd really like to know your honest thoughts on this aspect of 3.0 as you seem to really be an old school style producer. Akai keeps saying "Track Mutes" are coming back in original form, but I'm confused on how that would be possible since you can't have multiple tracks that utilize the same program anymore.
@@Ancaja123 I don’t think the fact that tracks and programs being integrated now in MPC 3 is the issue. It’s how tracks are muted per sequence, and in MPC 2 that was the same anyway - a track using a particular program would be muted in one sequence and not in another. So it doesn’t make any difference. It’s how they behave per sequence regardless of how many tracks can host the same program. I would say at the most this behaviour just caused a bug so they chose to omit it for the time being as it wasn’t a priority compared to all the new features. That’s my honest thoughts or assumption.
@@TUBEDIGGA I think I’d have to really use 3.0 to really understand this but it makes me hopeful to hear you say it isn’t much different. My workflow was always using many tracks of the same program to create a beat in a sequence, and making copy’s of that sequence and muting certain tracks, building up a song that way. I just hope that isn’t lost. I’ve been waiting hopefully for disk streaming though, so I’ll probably update no matter what!
This is super helpful! Is there a way so that when you hit the first pad, it cues the downbeat of the whole quantized playback? It looks like when you did your performance, the first pad waited until the loop length hit the downbeat and then started
@@thestevebrickman Yes, you can choose from several quantisation or time division values. Clips are no longer a feature in MPC 3 and personally I have never used them since making this video. I found the implementation of them very clunky and unrefined but don’t let me put you off if you’re enjoying them!
It's funny that you're using the MPC X because I'm connecting Axiom 61 to the MPC Studio to simulate having MPC X by extending the number of buttons and knobs.
“Everyone’s alive, everyone still breathing” (c) TubeDigga 2024. 😂 great video mate, as always. Loving the OS 3. Hoping any of the QoL stuff comes to Force, but largely can apply 99% of this to the Force. This video just shows I spend waaaaay too much time procrastinating trying to ‘make my own sound’ when you know what? Just roll out a wicked jungle track without fannying around with millions of edits and spend an hour perfecting a pad.
Is there any way of doing a SuperSaw with Fabric? And further, is there a convincing way to get a supersaw at all with current Akai standalone? I find Hype is not quite there yet :(
@@Ripstar1971 Yeah but not the obnoxious shit! I have some bits that are more reminiscent of 90s Full Cycle tunes, so a bit jump up but with that cool Bristol vibe
I'm planning to buy one, but I would really like to make more experimental music and not the classic EDM or beatmaking. This video showed me all the possibilities of this device, thank you
Awesome insight on workflow.. Good view, great in sync commentary, no waste of time/ direct and focused! 🥂✨ wish we had more of these (looking @every influencer on YT!)
Oh man , i realy should learn how synthesises works. Im following your steps in the video , im now at the mini d part and man , that sounds gritty. Greetings from the Netherlands.
