Recording of midi events is handled by FL. I am using Pattern Mode, with Loop Record/Overdub enabled. A foot pedal controls record on/off. Each slider is linked to a different channels volume. There is an application in FL called FPC and it works just like an MPC.
You only need a power adapter if you are planning on using it as an external module which is using a 5pin midi cord and connecting it to another instrument (which connects to the cpu's usb) That way you can use 2 midi devices at the same time like him in the video. But otherwise, if you just have the mpd32, the usb will get energy from the computer and power it itself.
ive watched this 100 times and i still say this is the hottest live playing ive seen on the mpd32 he inspires me. check out 1 chi-town remix not live but its whats up!!!!
Well done, I have a pk and really want all the faders that the mpd32 has, but haven't really been able to pick up the percusion on the pk, you've done well with it.
thanks for kicking out the jams. I just recently bought the MPD 32. So im into getting it to work with my software right now and learning to drum on mpd. I was wondering, since you have used an mpc also... do you experience any latency when using mpd in comparission to mpc?
hey man im planning to buy the mpc 1000 or the mpd32 now that i move smooth throw reason4 and recycke and i have a keyboard too im thinking in purchasing the mpd i thinks its easier to chop assing drums etc etc etc with the computer and not with the stand alone mpc. ive seen that you have both, what so you think???? thank you so much
the pops from webcam mic clipping or the vinyl source of samples? i am looking atmpd32 and the Korg PadKontrol... anyone have recommendations either way? Korg better feal to pads, more responsive, and the X-Y pad, Akai much more features.. any feedback welcome cheers
Yes. However, if you have a good sound card with ASIO drivers, and are able to keep the latency at 5 milliseconds or lower, it shouldn't be a problem. A fast CPU also helps if you are using a lot of FX.
@oorstudio so you mean there are certain things you wouldn't be able to do with the mpc connected with your daw? trying to figure that out. i was thinking why by a mpd if a mpc1000 was the alternative.
Quit hatin, what do you think MPCs are mostly used for? Drum and Bass, Hip Hop and Techno. Why else would there be 16 pads, oh yea, so hip hop heads can use 3 or 4 pads for a loop, come on. Half of the people on here who make beats couldn't even keep a rhythm like this live for longer than 8 bars.
I've watched 6 videos on the MPD32 and hip hop now and it sucks how uninspired hip hop has become. I like what this cat's trying to do. At least he's a little left of center. But most of the videos I've seen, it seems like everyone is trying to write the same song! There's no originality. It sounds like it's all coming from the same guy.
