That is a very practical tip, makes me realize that the reason why drums always turn out so bad for me is that I probably try too hard, simple patterns work well enough!
Definitely. No matter what device I'm using, I always try to think of a simple Kick, Snare, and Hi-hat based drum kit for the basic groove. Embellishments can come later if need be. Thanks for watching!
Great idea. And, you can also switch up within pattern -- 1st two bars stay the same and flip the 2nd two bars. OR the odd and even bars. The possibilities are nearly endless, and they'll all still "fit" the basic groove.
I like how you started with a bassline. Most of the times I start with listening to a simple 4 to the floor and hoping a melody comes across my mind. But then again I figured that all my idea's for a melody start from silence; when I have absolutely nothing to record :(
Loved the tip! Suggestion next time you do something similar: save the variations to pattern slots so you can chain them and we can hear one right after the other. Thx again for the excellent tip. 😁
I'm still asking everyone about how to synch pocket operators with MPC ONE. YOU'D BE THE FIRST TO DO IT ON RUclips AND I'VE BEEN ASKING AND SEARCHING FOR 18 MONTHS+ MUCH LOVE AS ALWAYS MATE XXX
As far as I'm aware, a PO's input will take a stereo input, with a click track on one side and audio on the other. Not sure if this can be done with the MPC One, but it could be done if you use a device as a bridge between; say, midi out from the MPC One to mini in of a Volca, then sync out the volca to sync in of the PO. You could also maybe use an Arturia Keystep/Beatstep as the master clock, since it has both a midi out and sync out on it.
@@Gwyn94 thank you for your reply Son of Gywn. In "my time" I have heard people talk about it but never give an explanation to a noob. I've had my MPC and picket operators for a couple of years now (although i don't get to use it / then everyday / every month) and tried in my time a little bit too investigate the CV options after seeing other videos which I thought shared the way, but they always ended up being for dinner other device like you mentioned acting as the sequencer, whereas I have seen one video somewhere on RUclips where POs were synched up and working - I thought it was a Free Beat #FreeBeat video I saw with this in... I unfortunately don't havea volca or much else other than koala sampler and Korg nts-1 (+ POs of course 🤗) But thank you all the same for helping 🤗👍
I honestly would have no clue how to do that haha. I'm guessing (like Thomas) suggested, you could sample the click sound from a PO, and then sequence a click track to the PO? But I'm not really sure haha. Sorry!
The snare on every beat reminds me of Motown. That makes me think of a classic tip for any musical idea, including drums: listen to different genres of music, even ones you don’t instinctively like.
Hi Freebeat, I really like the direction your going in here. Have you thought about loading a full acoustic drum kit on the Deluge and then loading a rock guitar sample into the oscillator. I suspect the Deluge could be cool for composing rock or metal if you could get guitars to sound good sampled to the oscillator. Particularly interested to see what you could come up with given your background as a drummer. Thanks Jason
This has me wondering, as a actual drummer at a kit how easy or difficult would it be to seamlessly move the beat between to 3 different drums like that? Like would that be a natural thing no problem, or would someone tend to stumble on that ? Do you put together things on a sequencer type drum track that you couldn't (or just wouldn't) physically play at a kit?
To a proficient drummer, swapping around drum grooves like that should be no issue at all honestly. It might take a little mental recalibration, but after a minute of practice it wouldn't be a problem. When it comes to sequencing drum parts, my one rule is that I don't sequence anything that I couldn't play in real life. I try to tell myself to remember (while sequencing) that I only have two feet and two hands, so my sequenced parts need to reflect that. Great question!
Nice tip and run though. It would have been a bonus to have chained the pattern variations together and let them all play though at the end. Cheers. Lee

Poor man's version: You can sample the click track of the PO and use it from whatever device to sync the clock.

Definitely sound advice!

I'll have to give that a shot, thanks!
Yes very useful tip. Thank you FB
Glad to help!
Nice 👌 Thanks🙌
Thank you!
Does this bring to mind a prospective swapping feature...; ; ?
Fantastic.
That's a great Tip! I've never used it that way.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Thank YOU!

Any hip hop drum tips
Not really, not a genre I typically work on, sorry!
Nice video
Thx u
Thank you!

Yeah haha, I thought about it, but I wanted to keep the video simple enough this time around. Thanks for watching!
