The MPC is great for getting down quick ideas. Creating beat, midi, vst tracks is pretty easy once you understand the workflow though. You can't map stuff on the back end, start a new project then everything will just work. Although you have to midi learn functions per project. I've settled on using the Midi Fighter Twister to do mostly what I want. This is because I want to do more live stuff and I've reached the limitations of what the MPC can do without major setup.
Had to learn the new work flow since I never had an MPC.Īfter a year of using the MPC my direction is leaning going to Ableton. Eventually got a synth a few years ago and then got the MPC One. My background in music was arranger type of software back when Sony Acid Pro started out. I've been using the MPC One for little over a year now. I guess my question is for the new mpc heads - has this purchase been worth for you? And most importantly is it fun to make music this way? I'm a hobbyist not a professional musician by any means, so your opinion is super important. I think limiting myself will help to stay more in the flow of music rather then tinkering with settings of plug-ins and stuff. Also I found myself lost in settings of ableton way to often thinking that new vst or effect will be the thing that will make my sound better. I always had fun with machine but it bothered me that I had to be attached to the computer in order to make music. I am an ableton user and in the past I used machine mk2. My question is more towards people who didn't come from a long lineage of using mpcs and rather are new to the work flow and the whole mpc line. And for the record, I’ve grown to like the MPC’s pads better than my Tempest’s.Hey guys, non mpc user here, I've been watching mpc one for a while now and am almost there to pull the trigger but am still hesitating to put 600 eur towards getting myself this new toy. This is just my experience of course, but I doubt there’s anything wrong with your MPC per se. That said, if the velocity range is set to full, a quick double trigger can make it seem as though a hit didn’t register, if the bounce chokes the first hit at the lowest possible velocity.įat pads (or corks) will eliminate the space below the pads and make them more sensitive but you’ll still get double trigs if you’re letting your fingers rest on the pads between hits. There is a small gap between the bottom of the pad and the sensor though, so there is a minimum amount of pressure required if the pad is to make contact. By contrast, on the Tempest this is not an issue, which is where I developed the habit.Īs far as missed hits are concerned, I can’t say that I’ve ever hit a pad with any measurable force and had it fail to trigger. it only happens when I let my fingers rest on the pads after each hit, which can cause a bounce. I get the odd double trigger, but I’ve figured out that my technique is to blame: i.e.
