Finally, someone who stays on point and doesn't stray off into the weeds! I learned more in 10 mins here, than in 10 hours of other videos.

Bro.. I'm a emcee but a rookie at beat making, and I bought a MPC Live 3wks ago, and it's been frustrating trying to convey the sounds in my head through the MPC and I have days when I get stuck, but your channel has helped me a lot bro, and I just wanna say thank you! Your tutorials are awesome homie and I really appreciate it

@FlngerDrums 5 лет назад

whats the difference between a keygroup program and putting a sample in 16 levels in drum program?

@mpchead 5 лет назад

16 levels you only get 16 notes, a keygroup you get the full keyboard.

@stadtrandkollektiv7498 4 года назад

Thanks for the great beginners guide. If I try to go into Sample edit the MPC software tells me "Sample edit not available for Keygroup program" how did you manage to get there? Many thanks for explaining the warp function! I was looking for this quite a while. Greetings from germany.

@Paytonwh 4 года назад

How do you save a key group? Is it saved with the project? How would I be able to use it again in a separate project? And like I want to save one I made so I can sell it too haha

$@internalrefraction$

@internalrefraction 4 года назад

Can the MPC ONE warp the keygroup samples like the Live, I'm not seeing the warp button on the program edit page for me!!

@JohnMark61355 6 лет назад

Thank you for the video. Do you have a video that explains the “Root Note” function? Should the root note designated in the MPC match the root note of the key of the sample or does it just change where the note is played on the pads (or neither)?

@mpchead 6 лет назад

Hi Mark, the root note in the sample edit screen should always match the note in the sample. The mpc doesn't recognise notes so you need to input the note yourself so the mpc places the sample correctly in the keygroup's key.

@JohnMark61355 6 лет назад

Thank you. So I am clear, if the loop sample is in the key of D major, then the Root Note on the MPC Live would be set to "D?" Or would it be the first note of the sample regardless of the key (i.e., D major key but the the first note in the loop is F#)? (BTW: I just joined the MPC Headz Patreon group.)

@mpchead 6 лет назад

I know, Thank you for the support, I am trying to post chops everyday now so everyone never runs out of sound. So, I regard to samples that are only one hit, like just a single note of a piano or guitar, etc. not whole loops. With loops it's a different game, if you have more than one note it's gonna be hard to always play the sample in the same key/scale. The root note refers only to the note of one key so I would do it like you said, input the first note of the loop. Makes sense? I am not the best at music theory. And this is all about keygroups, If I am using the sample as just a regular chop (not to play chromatically) I won't even bother about the root note.

@JohnMark61355 6 лет назад

That helps...thank you.

@alyeska4226 5 лет назад

If you assign 4 different samples to a Keygroup patch, you'll want to set complimenting note ranges with individual root notes.

@Ancaja123 4 года назад

Can you globally change the Start/End/Loop information for ALL samples in a Keygroup Program? Including layers? It's hard when you, for instance, get a seamless loop going for one sample in a keygroup and want those settings applied to all samples

@mpchead 4 года назад

First screen of the keygroup program set it to all

@SirMalikCobra 6 лет назад

Hey I'm inside program edit in the key group but my warp function is not visible. What do I have on that would cause my warp function not to be shown?

@mpchead 6 лет назад

If you are in a keygroup the Warp function should always be available. I would need to look at the project to understand what you have wrong. You are free to email me the project @ mpcheadz@gmail.com

@SirMalikCobra 6 лет назад

MPC HEADZ Ok cool it's like that for any project though. I only have the warp function if I'm on a drum program. If I switch to a key group program warp becomes unavailable as a option to me for some reason.

@mpchead 6 лет назад

I just saw you email. I think you might need to update your MPC, no? Are you on 2.2?

@SirMalikCobra 6 лет назад

MPC HEADZ I I think so. Let me check.

@mpchead 6 лет назад

It's crazy, haven't seen anything like that. Firmware ok? Maybe check in with akai and ask them what is wrong?

How many layers are in the program mode? I know on the 5k its 4 layers

@danielwhetstone5632 3 года назад

Can you play 2 sequences at the same time in song mode? Eg drums and vocal chops

@mpchead 3 года назад

No, song mode plays sequences in sequence. but you can play drums and vocals at the same time in a sequence

@Voicewav 4 года назад

Will the MPC Live send note specific key groups to an external keyboard??

@mpchead 4 года назад

Not sure if I understand the question. If you are trying to play an external synth from the Mpc just use midi tracks.

@Voicewav 4 года назад

mpc head no.... on my Maschine and some apps and MPC allows you to play in key. Only having the notes that sound good with other notes. lol. I know MPC live does that. Can it send those notes to a midi keyboard Bluetooth or wired.

@frankjuno8808 4 года назад

This video helped me a lot to understand the structure of MPC. But you sometimes confused "layer" with "keygroup". Traditionally, a keygroup is a zone of keys that play a certain sample. And several keygroups is the technical way to use MULTISAMPLES, each keygroup representing one sample of the MULTISAMPLE. For playing instruments like a sampled piano, in order to avoid drastic pitching artifacts, you will use at least 2 samples per octave, so a 5 Octave piano would be a Multisample with 10 Samples, and so you need 10 keygroups (not layers!) in the keygroup program. Today, often each key gets its own sample in a multisample, so AKAI offers 128 keygroups. The layers inside a single keygroup then give you the possibility to do velocity switching, for example.

@mpchead 4 года назад

The program is called a keygroup program, inside a keygroup program you have keygroups and each keygroup inside a keygroup program has 4 layers. Thanks for whatching

@17cortland74 4 года назад

Frank Juno you’re correct but wrong at the same time. I’m guessing you’re not familiar with the MPC Live, X, One, Force because these key groups he’s speaking of are what Akai calls them. It’s Akai’s terminology, he’s not making things up and trying confuse people. You’re answer was informative but doesn’t apply to these machines.

@chugnuts870 3 года назад

And two years later I reach the key groups... obviously key groups are chromatic.. what are 16 levels of tuning then?

How many pad banks and tracks in the sequences is on the new MPC?

@mpchead 4 года назад

Should be the same

4 года назад

@@mpchead No there are more on the newer models

@mpclive5693 5 лет назад

What if the layers share different lengths?

@mpchead 5 лет назад

they'll work as two different samples. If you want them to have the same lentgh you'll need to chop them accordingly. You can trim the samples within the program edit.
