Mpc Sequences, Tracks and Programs Explained 

Ooh this ones gone over 100K, nice :)

Much needed for anybody new to MPC. Getting your head around these concepts, and how they articulate, is crucial (and not necessarily intuitive).

Gold star, my man... If Akai aren't paying you/employing you, they should.

i was having SOOO much trouble getting started on my MPC Live when i bought it in december, but thanks to you i think i FINALLY got a good understanding of how to really get started making beat like i did back in the day. your vids been a lot of help! thanks! cheers mate!

You're my hero, Tube Digga :) Thanks for those brilliant tutorials!

This actually was one of the better, briefer and to-the-point videos on the topic, that covered a few really basic things that anyone who just acquired an MPC would need. Kudos and thanks. (just got MPC One the other day..)

I have just started to learn MPC live and learning so much from your tutorial videos. Thank you for your work!

This is the best intro tutorial I seen .. no gimmicks just straight to the point. Thank you

Thank you for doing this video I just got an MPC Live and it helped beef me up on the basics.

Fantastic demo! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, very useful and easy to follow.

8k sub party this weekend!! Congratulations! MPC all day.

by far the best video for mpc beginners, thank you !

Your videos are excellent. I might've returned my mpc live had i not digested some of you tutorials. Big thanks.

This is great info thanks and you sound fine. Don’t be so hard on yourself. No one else is.

I just got mpc one oct 2020.so far loving it. Getting to know it’s ins and outs slowly

Excellent video! A great reference for beginners or those of us migrating from older legacy MPC's. Many thanks and looking forward to more of your videos!

Very enlightening demonstration. Thanks for the effort on that.

Thanks via Paypal sent. Four years old but still damned useful when one has just acquired an MPC One. A lot beter than the official videos too. Thanks.

Great vid! Very informative and this info will be big help for when my MPC arrives.

You got to keep these video coming - they are so helpful - better than the MPC Bible, thank you

Great videos brother I’ve been watching them every morning while I drink my coffee they’re helping me really understand the Live I bought a few weeks ago. Thanks!

i just got my mpc one in the mail... this tutorial is helping me so much first time mpc user

THANX for this indepth info! Since there is no manual with MPC Live, us newer users rely on these online tutorials.

Congrats on the milestone

Great tutorial! I'm an Ensonic sequence user for over 20 yrs and I was very close to selling my MPC X after 1 month of frustration of trying to use it. I still wish I could delete all those useless samples I will NEVER use, I got this unit strictly for sequencing. I see the potential in it I just got to be patient in the mpc leading curve...thanks again.

Great video! Can't wait for the next guide!

I told you you would get 2k subscribers wery soon. Videos Are spott on.thanks for a nother one.

You should add MPC Touch also to the title, your tip's and tricks work fine on it too. Keep up the good work this explains a lot!

Thanks a lot, i dont speak english, but i can understand your accent perfectly, please dont change your accent from england! Saludos !!

Excellent explanation !! You have serious word passing skills :) after 30 min I can start enjoy now the easiest and most logical code of pure joy :D Thanks a lot !!!! just moved from NI studio and not going back :) This vidio should be played on AKAI channel :) great word seriously! keep doing this amazing work! Impressed

Great tutorial, thank you very much!❤

I just bought the MPC live a week ago. I love it! Thank you for all the videos you do. I own a digitakt as well, and that’s how I learned it.

Great guide for a beginner's like me. Nice and easy to follow.

hello my friend just got mine ...and this one of the best lesson i learn ...i subscribed

Man this helpt a lot and your voice & dictation is awesome for this

Super video, I’m a beginner and I have an MPC One, this has been soo helpful. I’m glad to see your channel has grown so much sine this was originally published. Thanks again and I’ll be watching. I’m subscribed with bell…

Thank you for your videos. Congratulations..!

THIS WAS AWESOME!! exactly what i needed thx soo much!!

Love it! Love your enthusiasm and I learnt summat I didn't know about my MPC One. Thanks 😂

When in doubt, spin the big knob. I was not getting any recorded sound out, touched the big knob and bam, I'm rock'in. So frustrating to get started, but I'm not giving up!!!

You are a STAR. Thank you for making this video.

Very nice. Even English is not my mother tounge I understood every word, and it was the perfect start getting into my new MPC L2. Thanks!

Thank you sir. Same dude from the Akai MPC group here. Cant wait to get a live 2.

Thnx, beat descriptions and examples I can utilize.

Wow I’ve been a Mpc user for over 20 Years, watched many tutorials, and this one was one of the the most clear pathed well explained informative vids I’ve watched. Maybe it’s your ability to get your points across through explanation or just being able to break things down simply. Anyway thanks. Next could you do one on Song mode. Sampling and sample editing. Thanks

Very informative thank you! Subscribed.

I just got my first MPC.... After an hour or so I sort of started to figure this lot out but even after reading the manual I wasnt quite sure and reasonably confused..... This video cleared things right up.... Thanks for your help... You have a new follower & fan !!!

Thanks for the amazing and rare tut.

Thank you for the video. I love Elektron products! I’ve never owned an Mpc. I’m thinking about getting the live.

Just what I needed. Much appreciated🎰✌

Very good tutorials!! Cheers from Stockholm Sweden🇸🇪

New sub. Waiting for my mpc to come in the mail by watching your tutorials.

thanks Tube Digga , u r the best

really good information, nice to hear a felllow brits voice! thanks man

its my first day with Akai thanks for this video.. still don't know how to make a track yet but i will get there

2 weeks in with my MPC One and I thought I was already pretty damn good with it, was so proud of a beat I made. But apparently I need to watch this video because I absolutely cannot figure out how to move 1 note in my sample chop without screwing up the entire damn track lol. Been messing with it on and off for days and it's not making any sense. This sucker's definitely got a deeeeep learning curve. Probably gonna watch all your videos then sign up for your masterclass. Thank you sir for all your videos.

Awesome thanks for the knowledge!

Random cat interlude, earns instant Like and Subscription. Great content, keeps me coming back for more. I see you are up to 20 thousand subs. Best wishes for your continued success.

Beautifully presented 👌🏾👏🏿👍🏿✊🏿

Thank you very much for this. It’s hard to enjoy doing music when they give bland instructions to running an mpc. Great work!

i'm super excited to get one of these machines. still deciding on what i want but it seems like this is the most legit thing that's all-in-one etc

Great Tutorial. Thank You Tubedigga. I love attending RU-vid University!!!

Great tutorial for this model.

I have watched a ton of MPC tutorials. This is something Akai should have made. One thing I would recommend for all users is keeping all tracks linear with programs ( useful when moving everything from song mode to conversion to sequences. Great work Brother !

Great tutorial !

this is how they should explain it! 100 thumbs up!

Dope, Dope...DOOOOOPE! thanks for the video bro

es el mejor tutorial para principiantes! muchas gracias!

That was a great video thankyou .Looking forward to the next one . peace

Thanks very much! This was very helpful :)

respect. i just got the mpc one

Very Nice... Thank You

3.5k now! And growing.

Now you have 8.6k Subscribers now 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Thank you

Good stuff!

Nice, just bought some of your EFX expansions....awesome stuff, m8!!!

finally after months of frustration and honestly considering moving to different system ( was gonna sell my brand new MPC X as struggled with understanding overwhelming complexity of this weird system ) so - finally someone explains why on heaven I could not hear the overdubbed guitar audio track during recording the song!!! This video tutorial might be the MOST important ( last 6 minutes ) part of understanding why on Akai things just doesn't work as you would expected as they go against the human logic. For guitar player like myself who use always super easy and logically constructed software and mechanical loopers this is a mile stone of learning language of akai. Basically u always overdub but when you plug guitar to quickly add additional sounds you DO NOT OVERDUB but record instead! A secret that Akai hides from you for years and years is now exposed. I asked around so many people and they said they had the same issue so they all said use the sampler/looper to add guitar/ as with MPC X you can oddly only pre-record track and said MPC is rather useless for guitar users. Just because of this stupid little thing that no one knows. Thank you for saving me from selling this machine away.I will try this new trick instead of using sampler only. You should be a tutor for entire Akai official support team as they know literally nothing that goes behind the basic script / couple pages of quick start plug and play basic knowledge.

Great vid

Thank you for helping out..I bought the MPCX and Akai does not seem to want to help when a customer has tech issues😐&their manual is a joke gone wrong..LOL

50k views. Congrats early!

Very Good as Last someone explains in simple detail about how the MPC Live work!!!! What about can a midi keyboard trigger the MPC? And more about song mode using samples,loops and midi.... Thanks so Much!!! you are the Real Deal :)

It’s day 1 baby!

Just subscribed!,,, great video!!

Nice thanks.

You were at 1000... I was 27.8 rounded somewhere.. that's how fuckin Gangstar your knowledge to the renne this is.. mad luv

Now I'm on my way to be an mpc gawd. Thanks king

Definitely not as intuitive as my OP-1 but videos like yours are slowly making a difference! ❤🇬🇧

Ahhhhhhh the video I should have watched when I got my mpc live :)

Thanks for the random cat interlude, oh and the tutorial as well!

Thanks for this it has explained a great deal for me , I presume it is all the same for mpc one ?

It’s a great summary. However I am a beginner and all this was too much for me lol but it would be great if it was really a step by step detail which it’s impossible here it would really help me or/and others to see exactly how it should be use. Great job thou. If you have any advice on what I should focus on please do say and advice me. Thank you.

Very descriptive

Waiting for mine to ship to me thanks for the tutorial

You are a saint

I see i'm not the only one who still has the plastic shipping overlay on the live screen. I have both the X and the live, and the X has plastic on the qlink screens and the other surfaces as well. the live lives in a book bag and it goes where i go and ever since may 2017 that plastic overlay looks like it did on day one... boss video as well TD! congrats on the 1K

Do a video all about the preferences and exactly what they do. Most dont understand what PPQN is. Things in that page need explaining in detail brother! =) Thank you. Subbed.

Great video! Very helpful! Thanks so much for posting! Hey, I have a massive library of drum sounds that I have collected over the years with drum sounds from vintage machines from every era and so much more. Can I import those into sequences from a flash drive or an SD card?

Congrats on the 1k! Im not clear on the diff. between copy track and export pattern from track?

Your videos are very thorough and super helpful. It's really helped me to hit the ground running with my new MPC X. Question for you: during this example you switched patterns with the data wheel on the fly so you could jump from sequence one to sequence two when demoing your duplication of the drum program where the one was five semitones down. I've noticed that on my MPC X, sometimes when I do that there is an audio crunch and slow down when it jumps to the new sequence. It seems to be fairly random and does not happen all the time. For clarity, when the one sequence stops playing and it jumps into the new sequence it's almost like the CPU sometimes has a hard time handling it on the fly and the audio gets garbled for maybe half a second to a second and then gets back to normal. Is that normal when just jumping between sequences? I'm not talking during heavy lifting either... there are say five different tracks playing sample data? Not a lot of VST's or heavy stuff, some fairly simple programs. I know people talk about some bugs still with MPC live so just curious if that's a common behavior?
