The coolest thing is when you create something amazing and it brings tears to your eyes with emotion. I've had that experience a few times with MPC One and even PO's.. anyone else had that? Incredible is the power of music. The best natural high is it not?!
often
And then everyone clapped
@@genequist3859 and then I'm getting crushed to death by all the panties they're throwing on stage
Yo that! And what’s very awesome is, starting out with an old R-to-R tape deck, a Gibson SG, a Jazz Bass, and a cheap Boss drum machine over a half century ago (I’m 72 now), it still brings on those tears when I listen to those old tape reels (now transferred to digital) 👍😃🥰
Nvr cried. 20 plus yrs. But i feel u.
Nuffin like emptying your mind, heart and soul into the form of music. Then listening to the final culmination...totally satisfied. Bliss
This should be in your MPC ONE primer playlist for sure, short and sweet and really "new purchase" territory. Great job.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely brilliant tutorial. Straightforward, no messing, get a beat recorded. And a beat that isn’t just hip-hop sample based.
What you mean? Isn't this just for hip hop? :P
@@PeteOnTheBeat of course!!! 🤣
Thanks so much!
Thank you, that was incredibly clear and easy to follow and exactly what I needed to get going.
Glad to help!
Yay! Nice explanation and demo of the workflow. Btw, this workflow is what got me sold on the MPC One. Now I just need the money… Back to PO-33 for now
Honestly the PO-33 is an awesome groove box in its own right! I hope you congrat your hands on an MPC soon though!
I was going to dive into the po series but after calculating how much a few of them could cost, I figured it would be better to save up for an mpc instead
@@siniquezu I have 4 PO's and eventually got an MPC One.. I still use the PO's because they focus me on the fundamentals without distractions, then once happy with tune, I move it on to MPC to refine and develop into a studio quality product. Hope this helps and good luck! Just keep making music and you'll learn so much and develop, and above all enjoy the journey and never get frustrated. Keep coming back after breaks and you will succeed in satisfaction.
Just got my MPC One in the mail, here we go!
Have fun!
@@FreeBeat Fun is being had! I'm also ready to get some nice wood cheeks on it bc it's gold :D
Agree with Trick Fall below - I've looked at a number of videos and this was the perfect one for me to get up and running. Lol hate being such a noob with a piece of gear........Thank you!
Glad to help! And don't worry, this thing has so many features I'm sure everyone is a bit of a noob with it lol. Thanks for watching :)

Great tutorial for getting started with this beast. Thanks!
Thank you!
Absolutely, thanks for watching!
Cant wait to dig in
I hope you love it :)
Perfect timing! Yesterday i've ordered the mpc one 🙌
Did you get my e mail?
I can't wait to see what you do with the MPC! And yes, your entry is confirmed :)
@@FreeBeat thank you very much. I'm already in love with this thing haha
Hi man! Nice video! I’d like to know if the MPC One has a mode similar to Ableton where you can launch clips, MIDI or audio. I’m looking for a machine that can be the brain of my setup in order to sequence all the synths + play audio samples, but I really would like to have the option to easily trigger “individual” MIDI sequences to play synths during the performance, independently of the position in a song or track…
I know it does have a clip launching mode, but I haven't used it too extensively, sorry!
@@FreeBeat ok, thanks! 🙂
@@FreeBeat I think you just load the clips in as pads like sample chops or drums. I think it's exactly the same. All you need choose is if you want it mono, poly, 1 shot or not etc.
Very very good tutorial mate. nice one!
the best in detail tutorial
Thanks so much!
nicely explained :)
Great video. So clear and straight forward:)
Amazing - THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching!
@@FreeBeat love your channel, dude. But this video really helped me a lot last night! ❤️
Well done I think you did a great job of explaining the basics. I learnt something too: I’d forgotten about the shortcut to bring up the piano roll and I’ve had mine for a year.
I'm glad I could help, the piano roll / linear timeline is one of the most powerful features in my opinion!
This video was great helped a lot thank you
Big help, thanks :)
Glad I can help, thanks for watching!
FYI If you press the cursor button (above the pencil button) you can change the name directly without going to the other screen.
Good to know, thanks for watching!
Thanks for this intro
Thanks for watching!
Nice Work!
Thank you!
ok thanks i just layered my first set of beats .Not great but i got the basic principle Thank god for youtube or i would have to write this all down in block capitals .My writing is terrible and my memory is even worse
Glad you got your first beats down, thanks for watching!
All my songs are made with the MPC One
greeat video
Thanks so much!
Great explanations🙏
Thanks so much!
Is there a preferred way to save sequences/projects once you have created them?
Hold shift and press the browse button :)
So, you created a 1 bar loop. Great. Now how do you create an actual track. A track has many many bars. I'm still trying to understand how to create more than just a loop with the mpc.
Right, this was just a tutorial for that first session :) Going past that really depends on how you want to work. I recommend either doubling the length of your pattern and then changing a few steps in the back half, or copying the originally pattern into a new one, and then changing steps in the new one. You can start to build ideas from there!
Would you be able to add a MPC One only Playlist?
Absolutely!
After 1 year I have so many cool tunes started on MPC One, but have yet to complete a full track! So much learning still to do.. Anyone have the same experience?
I actually have a series here on the channel where I make an entire song from start to finish, maybe that can give you some ideas!
quick question: do you know how to use Pitch Bend on MPC one? let's say, I want apply pitch bend to a bass note recorded on the sequencer.
How come I don’t see the folder icon on my mpc
I have a question about the quantum thing. Can you set it on like partial quantum? If you don't want your beat to be too perfect?
Yes, you can set the quantize to a variety of different options.
@@FreeBeat Ok cool. Thanks for responding. I appreciate it.
There is no videos on how to incorporate samples on your SD card within a song? please help
If you press the browse button and select "places" you can click on your SD card and load samples that way. I'll add a video to the list though, thanks!
nice video, but i can't get my bass plugin in work ... duuno why the plugin is all blurry sound
What you mean by blurry sound?
updating your mpc might help.
Created the whole song on one program.
Is there a way to send them to different tracks to be able to play them with track mute?
Not sure how you wound up with an entire song on one program, but you should be able to use the pad mute section to mute individual pads. Hoping I'm understanding that right.
@@FreeBeat for sure. Tubedigga said explode with the pencil. Thanks
Anyone had this working with a Xoxbox (TB303 clone) want to make some acid house tunes and had no joy. Any help would be appreciated
I did these exact steps and i cannot hear any sound, please help
Are you using headphones or speakers?
is thaat Analog sound
I thought this video will include friends for jamming together =(
With the MPC you don't need friends!
I didn’t get it? Where is the jam? This video shows how to start a song, develop idea but I eas expecting to ser how to record live jam like you do it in a regular DAW…
Why when I chica get my plug-in from default and try the pads it sounds like a noteless fart? 😂 can u help me man?
Which plug-in do you have selected? It sounds like you might also be a little low on your octave range. Either hold shift and press 16 levels (to access the "notes") section, and set the octave to a little higher, or switch to a higher bank by using the bank selection buttons on the right hand side.
@@FreeBeat cheers man.. seems to work when I change the default on the effect screen I think it's program edit... thanks for the help man I'll have more little small queries in the future if you don't mind.. or I could be there for days and not find the answer 😂 as I have done in the past 👍
@@FreeBeat the bank isn't doing anything and when I go to the 16 levels and change the octive it works fine .. but when I get back to the main to change to pre set its . Eather nothing or just a noteless low sound :/
@@jacthetripper5171 Do you have the right program selected? Which plugin and preset are you using?
I had the same problem. When i updated my mpc to 2.10.1 and redid the example it worked.
I'm really trying to like this thing but to be really honest. It's bloody awful lol
It's definitely not for everyone haha. I wound up developing a real struggling relationship with mine until I recently just starting using it as a designated "drum sample player" haha.
Thank you!
No, thank you!
