I have been using the MPC's since the 2000 came out and then the 4000. My production was cut short in 2009 and them along with the rest of my studio arsenal was lockup. I just pulled my MPC4000 out of storage and found the screen damaged. Ordered a new replacement screen on ebay, and saw the MPC X. I had to have one. I purchased 1 a month old for 900.00 and lost my mind after looking at your just now. I'm 60 plus years young and because of your tutorial im going to buy me a home and grab my studio out of storage I'm coming out of music retirement and try to make some noise. Thank you for the wake-up to the new MPC X. I went on purchased a MPC LIVE2 that I found to be portable and is baby brother to the X. I would like to learn more knowledge from you on theses MPC's. I've recommend many to your site. It's been so long out of the game. You made it easy and fun again. Thanks Ken

Nice...for those who don't know, you can also hold down the Shift key and drag a sample to a pad that already has a sample to layer them.

Some of the sounds sound different when you preview them because you don't have warp turned on where you see all the preview options at the bottom of the browser. It plays some of the samples out of tempo that's why they sound different.

The samples sound different when you drop them individually because when you load the whole program from the expansion, it includes all the program edit settings like envelopes and effects and stuff. Good tutorial though, thanks for making it man.

I know this is old but also the reason why it sounds different is because the warp/sync is turn on at the bottom of the browser, the sample is playing on time with the BPM and not its actual length.

You can find plenty of free 808/909/etc kits online. That's the base that the sound packs are built on. It's all about taking those 808 kicks and making them slam. EQ, distortion, and compression/limiting will take a stock 808 kick sound and make it thump. Do the same to a 909 kick and layer the two (808 and the 909) and you'll have a thermobaric hammer. You don't even need any special software. Get a vanilla open source DAW and some 808/909 samples and you've got a serious drum machine. The samples and sounds that come with these various software are just marketing to help sell the software. It's rarely of any real use. Good for getting your head around the program, but making real music means making real sounds. The real power isn't in any loop packs, the power is all the VST synths and effects at your disposal. That's how you take the stock classic drum machine sounds and make them your own. Get good enough with the synths and you won't even need base samples to work with. ;)

This is very informative. Thank you. The only difference is that I personally would not name the video How To Use Your Expansion Pack The Right Way. I think that creating your own kit would have been more accurate. Im a firm believer that there is no real "right way" to do anything when it comes to creating music. I understand what you were saying tho. Respect G..... Keep up the good work.

I am try to use VST with the MPC software, for example a EQ, also I would like to use other VST to make a beat. I have scanned the VST which I installed, but can’t see it in the plugin VST List. D please could you make a video showing how to put 3rd party VST’s into the MPC software. Kind regards from Errol in the uk from London England. Blessings mi brother.

What's up Di just described to your channel thanks for the information. I was thinking maybe those sounds sound different when you load them onto a pad because maybe there are some pre effects that may be taking place. Try figuring out a way to initialise the complete session. I've been on the mpc for about one month so I may not know much but thanks for your information.
