Akai Mpc sequences and how they work - Mpc Touch / Live / X 

Gaddamn. The conflict when using different programs and bouncing out of song mode to sequence...FINALLY I get it😊

Very clear and concise Thanks Marlo!

You share so much small details along the way its just amazing man

I am new in the world of MPC but after my son started rappin 😆 i bought the MPC studio. did not know what was what. Allthou there are a lot, but not so many good videos out there, i noticed that watching your channel made me learn more about the MPC. Like this tutorial. the most important tutorial to understand the basics.. What i really like and think is very necessary about your videos is that you not only do what you do but also explain people what this is for and what the purpose off that option is. example like you said that a sequence is a section of the song. and now its easier to understand. Im from the Netherlands and English is not my native language. Keep up the good work. I just wanted you to know im learning the very basics from you. Some times its little bit harder becauce im working from the MPC software and the Studio..but its understandable. Thanks again! 💚

Excellently done MPC Head! Your communication abilities are fantastic! Really exceptional skills. Great video! Thank You!

Dude you really are fantastic. Recently bought an MPC live and your videos have proven to be invaluable. Thank you.

Hi, it was a very nice tutorial. You describe it so well and I decided to continue with your other tutorials. Many thanks!

You’re so thorough with your explanations. Thank you for making these videos.

Thanks bro! Out of all the videos I've seen on RU-vid you explain how to build the song the best. I'm a guitarist and I was wondering how to build a chorus verse intro etc. with this machine and you explained it very clearly. Thanks

Of all the MPC youtubers, you're the most inspirational and the best.

Thanks you explained the best I've seen so far.

Beautifully clear description. Thank you.

Best video I've seen on MPC's and the only one that has taught me anything! Thanks for doing this. Subbed.

Nice explanation, one of the better tutorials on here simply because you keep it simple!

Thank you soo much, I bought this and have been struggling to find a good video tutorial on how to use this...Thank you!!!!!

This helped so much! Thanks for your amazing video! you did a great job explaining each step.

Thank you for clearing this up for me,i was curious about most of this. You answered all my questions.

His tutorials are the best

That's one thing I don't like about the MPC; when you copy a sequence, any changes made to any of the programs should only effect that sequence only. Maybe it should ask you when copying a sequence; 1: Do you want to use the same programs? 2: Do you want to duplicate all or just a few programs? 3: Or do you want to create new programs? Anyway .... Great video, thanks.

Amazing work! Thank you!

Looking into getting a Live 2 and this video was super helpful. I rarely comment on RU-vid, but this was laid out really well. Thank you!

End boss right there. Thank you sir! Subbed.

Great video and great explaination

Had to subscribe bro, your way of teaching is unmatched! Can't say thank you enough... Coming from maschine, you taught me more than anyone else on RU-vid so far.

I'm a beginner at this so a little confusing for but very informative 👍🏼I'm getting better with it thanks dude

Excellent video straight to the point.

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL THANK YOU

so dope! clearly explained, thanks a lot bro!

good video. thanks

Nice one!!!

Great video helped me a lot thank you 🙏

This is great thank you so much

Nice....Thank you!

Well explained thank you 👍

Very helpful. Thanks

You can also add effects on each individual sound as well! I normally sauce each sound individually so when I do go into program and add effects it be the sound I'm looking for. Most times I don't use effects on program just individual

Yo man..thanks for sharing the knowledge. You da mufukn Man. 👐👐

It helped bro thanks

Well explained

Back at it at a random sauce, very cool, as usual (sorry for the delay :D)

Yo !!! I’ve being watching your videos for while and they’re quite intuitive. I notice that you live in Portugal! U sound American or Canadian . I’m from Lisbon and I’m currently live in London . I’m in love the Mpc’s I currently own the Mpc 2000xl and a Mpc 500 !! I’am a novice on these machines and your tutorials being helping me a lot !!! Peace bro keep up with the good work !👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

Kudos for the Portuguese guitar 👌

This helpt so much and exactly what I was trying to figure out even tho it’s simple and in the manual 😏🤣😂

Entire tutorial explained in detail, MPC Headz got amazing tutorials...-SUBSCRIBED-

Always helpful! Is there a way to use different presets of the same plugin in other sequences?

Great tutorial bro!!! Question?? If I have several midi instruments hooked to mpc and running the sequencer, with different proyects when I change my proyects change automatically my MIDI inside the sequence and play or I have to change every midi instrument to play my song? Thanks

Hey MPC Headz. Think you can do a video explaining how to program from plug in program to drum program. I am still a bit confused. At first I didn't know you need to create a new track to create a plug in. This had me a bit baffled when playing my sequences and I was hearing my drum program but when I went to the plug I would get this weird glitchy noise and couldn't figure it out for a while. Hopefully you understand what I am talking about. I think future users might need this explained. Your lessons are definitely for the new users.

mpc headz u give perfect videos very apreciative.my production is back up because of serious family problems keep me updated I like your work.Whats the difference between Mpc v2.4 & 2.5,and sample packs.

@mpchead if I copy a drum prog to the sequence and make a new track from the sounds will it effect the previous drum program in a previous sequence?

hello! nice vid! i have one question bro! can you route the click (metonome) only for the headpones jack? on order to play sequencies live and give the click only for drummer and the p.a. only the sequence?

03:50 ok so, lets say for example: SEQ5 track 2 is a bass sound and SEQ6 same track 2 is now a piano, is this possible? Is it possible using the Sequences as a total different set of sounds? I'm thinking sequences as songs. Nice channel man!

When you include mutes when converting to sequence, do the mutes stay muted or do they get erased like they were never there. Thanks for the videos.

hello marlow ,, I want to do several sequences just to make variations with the filter effect on my sample for example on sequence no 2 ,, so in the order I do how ,? I go to duplicate program sample and events in sequence and I copy my sequence ,,,, if I want my sample to have an effect everywhere I just need to duplicate it in progam to apply the effect or you have to go in events in sequence, I hope to make myself understood thank you to you

Older video so I’m not sure if you’ll respond. But my Live 2 is on its way and I’m trying to learn beforehand. If I set it to a different track in a different sequence then could I use a different program and be alright? Felt like the end was cut off before giving a solution to that problem. Otherwise great video!

Can swing be applied to each pad/part at different levels, like can the snare have a swing of plus three, and the drum be minus 3, is that possible?

Great video as usual Champ. Can you please explain how to use multiple midi instruments on multiple tracks? For instance, when I record a midi instrument trumpet on sequence 1, track 1 and then I go to track 2 to record a bass, I get the trumpet sound again. I tried changing midi channels and programs but I continued to get negative results. Any suggestions. Thank you.

Moving slightly on from there, whats the best way to transition seamlessly between songs, and how should they be laid out for a live gig of say a few hours please?

Import a backing track in combination with the internal drums ... What's the best way ? And how to get all the songs ready on a gig ?

thank you how do you up loud your song to the internet?

How does the insert button work?

Is there a way to change the bpm of a sequence as it goes into the next sequence, or to make the bpm slowly, slow down over time, or speed up over time like I know you can in a daw? Or would you have to slow down or speed up the bpm by yourself, and can you record a bpm motion movement while the beat is playing or some other way?

Is it better to build up drum loops in each sequence

Anybody know if you can do Roland style, note tie, accent, slide or ratcheting on these new MPC stand alone step sequencer units ?? In other words; 303 style acid sequencing. ( I am about to buy one and can't find info on this ) thanks

How can I change the order off the sequences?move seq 3 to seq 5 and 5 to 3. Or whatever The in the jjos pmc 1000 you have move seq

What happens when you have loops tracks in sequence that are louder than the others in the sequence

Sequences are the hardest thing im having trouble with. When I make my beat pattern, it wont sync correctly with the next sequence. Other than that everything else is good

could any mpc expert tell me if the characteristic warmth of sound and warmth of the mpc 2000 or 3000 is also in this model of the mpc?

I'm having a hard time transferring my tracks that's in my internal files to the software 2.3. I have a SD card but its only uploading one part of my tracks can someone please help me out. I'm trying to put my whole project up.

SANDU 2020

my drums override my sample its weird

Man this thing is too complicated

Devils n shit

I would have like the video, but I believe you did to much in this video. I would have preferred you to stay on topic with the first beat than to change up and confuse some people. You didn't confuse me, but the potential to confuse newbies is indeed possible with this video...
