Thank you for the advice on setting favorite places when browsing samples.

This is so dope just got my mpc one and currently waiting for my sp . Trying to study this mpc so thanks for this video

[elipsis]

Wow great cover, and great video… just ordered my SP404 I have the Akai MPC live as well, so I’m pretty exited after watching this video!

Less stuff means we know the stuff we have left much better. But according to some, wanting less is still desire... to want less! Its kinda like the flipside of desire to want more!

[MateuszMazurkiewicz]

When chopping on SP you can press resample button and it will automatically snap to zero cross points for you and the pops problem is no longer 🙂

[JAdeWii_]

Had to trim some parts out while I was chopping the sample cause of copyright. Should still make sense tho!

Stay fly and let me know what song you want me to do next!

[BestKeptSecreization]

Great video omg you crushed it especially when the drums dropped

[marknaegel]

*disclaimer* I don't own or know much about the SP, but...

According to the manual, you can switch banks in the SP by switching MIDI channel. That could lead to some dope abilities to sequence the SP right from the MPC.

I also found switching patches from the MPC on external synths via the program change to be super useful in auditioning new sounds.

Never forget that MPC = MIDI Production Center and it's a beast at just that, no matter what the external gear is :)

Agreed! I also run my MPC one through the analog heat 🤙🏾

I know that SP404 mk2 is cheaper, but MPC live II in thomann is not a top seller in 2023, but SP404 since 2021 has been a top seller and this is because the machine is cheaper and more stable with good technology, its 3.0 update now forces Akai to improve more aspects, because SP404 mk2 has powers that MPC live II cannot give.

Rolan has created his best sampler including MV8800 arranger tricks, TR drum machine stuff and other sweet features like dumping stems for each pad sequenced and his powerful looper and vocoder function.

Dope presentation sis👍🏾
Thanks for sharing

You know what you doing…DOPE DOPE DOPE

[BlezzBeats]

I think u should be able to do all your audio stuff through the usb cable too! Haven't tried with the MPC yet but it works with the M+. Just use the 404 as an audio interface. Sample back n forth through fx and everything - The only audio cable u need is lining out the 404.

"its not all rainbows and ponies" XD

[tom-]

thank you for this video! I've been curious about your workflow using these lately

edit: cos you're using a midi program rather than an in-built drum program for your drums, you might be able to use note repeat in arp mode to get some wild percussion. Not sure how usable that would be though.

[isaacanthonydj]

dope! i'm trying to do similar glitch things but with Octatrack.

[highlanderes]

Great! SP404 MK2 should get an unpop setting in the next release - resembling what you do manually anyway, so it can be adjusted manually afterwards.

[joegrant]

Jade, the MPC key 61 will be my first MPC. Have you checked one out in person? It’s probably not arriving for a couple of weeks, so I’ll be checking out your videos to learn MPC, and MPC Beats on my laptop, in the mean time.

[SauceSoundz]

Cool channel. Your a good presenter and dope bear conductor

[desireeholiday]

This is very helpful! I’m working on getting out the box, still working my way around the sp404mk2, hoping to combine it with my Roland Fa-06 keyboard. It’s also a work station
