Just wanted to drop a quick note on MPC 1000 Pricing. I have a link to see some used prices here - reverb.grsm.io/mpc1k And as much as i LOVE the 1000s don't pay more than $600 for one.. They're incredible, but i don't know, you might not like the "old school"-ness of it. ALSO don't buy the blue one. They have an older pad setup where each pad is a pain to replace if needed. The Black mpc 1000 has a single sheet of sensors which is cheaper and easier, and lasts longer in some cases.
Ricky Tinez the blue ones that have a black back plate are good tho - those were made in a different plant and have the sheet version of the pads. I have a black mpc1k with a silver back plate - it had the individual pads when I got it and I upgraded. Just wanted to say the black ones can also have the bad pads. Black back plate = good /// silver back plate = bad I got granular in some forums and saw others discussing.
I absolutely *love* seeing "how the sausage is made". The mistakes, two steps forward-one step back, happy accidents and inspired 1-takes. Thank you for showing people how much *fun* the process can be.
Seriously. I love how Ricky keeps in all the bad parts and is honest about it (not trying to make it a flawless video) and then you see the part that clicks and makes it awesome.
This just became the best MPC 1k vid on youtube in years; If you're smart with these things you can run an entire full-scale pop production from a single project, no laptop needed.
I've never owned an MPC, and seeing someone rock the workflow really opened my eyes. Just by watching this process, a bunch of puzzle pieces fell into place regarding house music production. The way you sequenced parts on the MPC sounds exactly like the 1000's of records I've purchased over the years. Thanks for taking the time to show this process. I never realized now how much house music production centered around just this one platform alone, and just how much the workflow really affected the sound itself. It's one thing to talk about the influence of the MPC academically; it's altogether another to see it in process. I kind of regret not starting with an MPC because the overall sound really matches up with the kind of music I enjoy making. When I sit down to make my next track, I'll be thinking about some of the techniques you use in this workflow and try to use what I've learned. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
One of the best things about your videos is the vibe of your house style... it reminds me of those classic 90s deep house tracks where there's just chill sounds and feel, nothing too crazy going on.. it definitely has a throwback feel to it.
I bought a 1k because of you. Currently putting all my effort in to my Deluge, but the MPC is sat there waiting. This is the best 1000 video ive seen on youtube so far!
thanks ricky for that inspiring video here from berlin. because of you i bought the mpc1000 and totally love it. I'm a huge fan of your channel and many folks over here in Berlin, too. keep on inspiring people!
I always dug the MPC 1000. It definitely fell into the "why did they ever stop making that?" catagory. I liked all the after market custom goodies too, nice to have the ability to make your machine unique.
Hi Ricky, quick tip : if you want to go faster with the data wheel, press shift at the same time as you use it, and you’ll increase value 10 by 10 rather than 1 by 1. It will save your wheel life span ;-) Mpc1000 is the best! Had mine for 15years and it’s still the hub of my synth setup. With JJ OS 2xl of course!
Hey Ricky, really enjoyed this video and nice to see the 1000 again. I’ve noticed they’ve seemingly had a resurgence. It was my first MPC back in 2008. I got it used and they’ve held their price all this time. Something I’ve never done well is organise my sample library on an MPC but your system looks refined for quick creation. Perhaps you could do a video at some point on your sample management and especially on an MPC. Keep up the good work! Sam
Nice to watch. I've been so productive making records with my MPC 2000 in the past. Will eventually get back to an MPC. It's just so quick and creative.
I have the mpc 1000 for about two weeks now and Im running the jjos2xl, watching this video I feel like I know a tiny bit of the software, I've watched like 10 minutes and I already discover like 10 functions that I didnt know about Keep uploading this kind of videos plz
The most influential instrument of the 21st century. Complete DAW replacement in 2020. No newer MPC, or 99% of sequencers can sequence over MIDI like this thing can. Still a great sampler, also. Newer pads might be easier.
As a long time MPC1k user this was super nice to watch, I use it exactly the same, lots of same workflow. What you did not do that I do quite often is making a program from single cycle waveform, makes really nice sort of lofi budget synth with some filters etc. Glad to see dedication to MPC 1000!
Oh damn that’s genius!!! Especially since you have all the typical subtractive synthesis parameters on each pad.. daaammnnn. Thank you for sharing that
No probs! Only thing is that if you use lots of those on same sequence and do poly stuff, voice limits can start to get to you. But that is on more extreme cases, some easy chords with other stuff like you have going are totally possible!
Just checking in to say i like your video's, great for people who need to understand clearly. As an MPC user for a long time, I appreciate your method on this one.
Thanks for this ! I've learnt more about how to use the mpc 1k watching this than watching a stack of "tutorials" over the last 6 months.... thanks Ricky Tinez 👊
I own a MPC 1000 because of you, and a Circuit and a Octatrack, GODDAMN YOU my poor wallet. Never used the 16 levels thing, thanks for the tip. I wish JJ would add a loop start point tho so you can loop the tail without having the initial hit in the loop
X-101 you can do that in JJOS, both 1 and 2XL at least. if you look around 9:50 in the video when he sets the sample to loop, another parameter shows up on the top bar, “Lp” for the loop start point (distinct from “St” for the playback start point). if the lock symbol is “unlocked” then you can edit these points independently!
agree with others - a really nice video! shows the basics of house production, and shows how quick you could program nice patterns. I would be so happy to see more in-dept videos of some JJOS functions, like Pattern to PAD, and lots of others. There are just a few mpc1000 tutorials online, which is weird, considering how many machines were made, and all of them are so uninspiring comparing to yours thank you
My absolute favorite thing about a JJOS MPC1000 is the step sequencer when paired with an external keyboard. That made my house music shiiiine and I'm gutted I sold my MPC...
Super-fun video. I'm probably never going to own an MPC 1000, but it's fun to watch your process regardless of the gear. In fact, it's not the gear that makes this fun for me. It's your process. That said, I'm sure people who do use this gear love that aspect of it also.
I hope that I can learn how to do this when I get my first akai. I'm getting ready to get the mpc one as my first unit. You are a great teacher. I'm now a follower of your page.
Thank you for this video! I’m running jjos2xl, and I’ve got gotten into the habit of using the same limited number of features. You’re reminding and teaching me of so much more that I can be using. Such a great machine and such a deep OS.
one of the best mpcs, a reason to own an mpc. jjosxl is essential and so performance friendly. im diggin the force tho, but jjosxl is a keeper. akai would do well to try and hire jj. the 2500 is the best version imo, its nice to have 4 q-link sliders. you can also fit a roland data knob on that has a much better feel, might even be a different plastic but is also low profile.
I see you enjoy the 1000, but I also saw you using the MPC3000 and the 4000. How would you compare the sound quality of these machines? You should definitely make a complete sound comparison video of all the MPC models that you have.
Hi Ricky, nice video. I really enjoy your videos in general :) I just bought an MPC1K. I was thinking bout it since a while, and comparing with the Digitakt... but I got convinced by your video finally ;) I've been using it since few days but I already grasped all the main functions. I had a MPC2000XL years ago, it was great, but at one point, since I was producing Hip Hop beats, a DAW became more suitable for the flexibility. But now I'm focusing on ambient, and staying away form a PC is great. I watched your videos about going DAWless and they've been quite inspirational. I also recently got a Yamaha QY100 for just 100 euro. Very old but incredibly powerful sequencer, and very interesting sounds. Have you ever put your hands on a QY? would be cool to see you playing with it.
This video is so well presented. Looks great. Sounds great. Your voiceover is calm and informative. 😎😎 I’ve been making electronic music for 30 years and I miss the days where I knew my kit inside out. Where you had to know your hardware front to back and beyond even what the manufacturers intended or expected. Hardware was expensive. You didn’t have much of it. So you had to dig deep. These days it’s all too easy to get ‘just one more’ VST and pull up the first couple of sounds you hear. My bad. I should really spend more time getting inside each instrument. ⛅️ 🎹
Hi Ricky, super nice that you made this videos, super much appreciated. I have an Mpc for a long time ....but I never find out how to save the projects in order to load multiple Sequences ....in case I want to do go to the next sequencer. I always save the entire memory in a folder but if try to load them all ...is overwriting. i also save the all the tracks and programs with different name. Thanks in advance

Pardon My Sandwich oh whoa good to know! Now I’m wondering which I have haha. I’ll check later. Thanks for that info!
Ricky Tinez hell yeah! You have a black back plate.
I just bought one, it’s the blue/red one. But the pads have been replaced with the MPC stuff pads, will that be fine?
@@wanderrice3345 I would say so, yes!
Every other RUclipsr: This is the new MPC ONE
Ricky Tinez: look at what my MPC1000 can do
If it ain't broke don't fix it
And this video will still be relevant in 5 years
@@badbenjy Yup, -
FuZZbaLLbee a second hand mpc live goes for the same price as a second hand mpc-1000 😁
1000 still my fav forever. They need to ditch the giant touch screen vibes and make an MPC 1000 TWO!
Ricky is like the Bob Ross of How To Gear videos on RUclips... hella chill and always mesmerizing to watch.
It's Ricky Ross

I think they could have continued to make the 1000 for another ten years or so and it would have been fine. Lmao
Love the timing of that LFO on the filter at 11:55, and the air right before the loop. Moments like those are magic.
Bro you weren’t lying about that little lead jump. Fire. Happy accidents.
thanks for the support bro! i appreciate it haha.
I have a bunch of kicks: *hats and cymbals playing*
I hava a bunch of hats: *snares start playing*
HAHAHA just reading this now 4 years later LOL I didn't even realize it at the time
I haven't thought about this thing for so long, but this thing is pretty dope even in 2024.

G Coffin big tip, thank you! Is OS 2xl what he’s using in the video?
absolute G for that tip thank you! I always use numeric to spare my data wheel haha. thank you!
Word. I asked someone else in this thread but just curious why you like OS2XL over OS3 or OS128XL?
You can use the Shift function on the slider too if it's anything like the 2000XL
That bassline came in so clean
when i first heard that clap you chose i absolutely hated it but i'll be damned if i wasn't grooving to this by the end of it, you absolute G.O.A.T
Maybe the best MPC 1000 video on YT. 🔥
Watch Spinscott
Memorecks does some nice stuff too.
What a beautiful Instrument .
Dude, you just opened up a new horizon for me. I can't thank you enough.
You are a true production boss. So solid and smooth. This makes me miss my 2000XL.
Just got my 1000 last week and I've lost count how many times I've watched this video. @Ricky Tinez do more of these!!!

got an MPC 2500 for cheap, been inspired and intimidated and seeing your workflow was super helpful! good track too. many thx
I miss my 1000 so much. This was very refreshing to watch. Solid video thanks for sharing
The ASMR of MPC 1000 tutorials.
I love seeing hardware still carrying on. I still got a 2kxl, used to have a 60. These new MPCs are tempting. I like that have small portable options.
It's cool to see what the hype is about in terms of the pad workflow.
I am so happy I found your channel! Gonna binge watch all your videos! This is quality and you know your gear for sure! What an awesome house track! 😃
Wow, the JJOS is so capable.
Your Vids are BOSS love watching them its like watching a trip to the toy shop
Nice to see a practical House music approach to the MPC 1000 thanks.

Everything about these videos is amazing all the way up to the sound of dudes voice. He should have a pod.
Had an MPC1000 for a while now, really nice to see your work flow on it. Super quick and the track mute tips are definitely appreciated!
Given me great ideas on how to accomplish build ups with the live. A bunch of tracks with the same drum kit, genius.
Just had some tea. Nice. Me too. This sounds awesome!
best looking 1k ever
I know you did this a while ago but it's a really great, practical tutorial! You know your MPC's for sure. Thanks for this.
Those red pads and sliders are deliiiiiiiiiiiiish
Brings back those memories, Thanks!
Man, I'm gonna need you to hop in a time machine and publish this video ten years ago.
Very cool for the workflow is a footswitch for record/play. MPC rulez
Lol this looks so easy when you making beats. Awesome!
Thank you for this video! I’m running jjos2xl, and I’ve got gotten into the habit of using the same limited number of features. You’re reminding and teaching me of so much more that I can be using. Such a great machine and such a deep OS.

Gwarn Ricky, got ,me loading house packs on my MPC!

You made me buy a MPC1000 last month, thanks dude, that machine is so cool !
How much brother
What is internal hardisk memory and ram please reply me
I bought it 300€ (it's kinda cheap in France)
And the difference between the Harddisk and ram, it's the same with computer or smartphones, so... Just check on the internet
@@_Trash_Panda I ask inbuilt memory in MPC 1000 how??
Great Tutorial still a great MPC!
I used to own a decked out 1000. I loved it. Now I’m using the MPC Live. There are things that the 1000 can do that the Live cannot. And vice versa.
Best mpc vid in RUclips no doubt! 🤙🏻
Awesome! I've learned quite a lot from your video, from basic stuff I was missing to more advanced! ✔️🎶
one of the best mpcs, a reason to own an mpc. jjosxl is essential and so performance friendly. im diggin the force tho, but jjosxl is a keeper. akai would do well to try and hire jj. the 2500 is the best version imo, its nice to have 4 q-link sliders. you can also fit a roland data knob on that has a much better feel, might even be a different plastic but is also low profile.
'Re-Hire'; He was on the dev team for the original OS!
This is a really, REALLY dope video!
I just found your channel and I have to they feel really satifying to watch. I can't say why but I love them.
I dont own the MPC 1000, but i love watching your videos for inspiration, nice job Ricky!
Great stuff. Was just playing my mpc live today... similar but different. Love watching your process.
I’d love to see you make the same track on the Octatrack and MPC 1000 as a workflow comparison video!
4:00 also it’s a way to add realization to your drums. Yeah I know, I’m a year late. But these gems last forever 😎🥃
Would love to hear your take on the mpc one
Unfortunately, the stereo out only on the One is a showstopper, for me.
I see you enjoy the 1000, but I also saw you using the MPC3000 and the 4000. How would you compare the sound quality of these machines? You should definitely make a complete sound comparison video of all the MPC models that you have.
Quality material bro...have only just spotted your channel after all these years...hope you're well!
Just to clarify. There is nothing wrong with the blue ones if they've been given the pad sensor upgrade
I haven’t upgraded my pads. Bought my blue 1k in ‘05.
