    Hey, I just want to say that I've been trying to learn or get into Ableton for the longest time and you're the only person on RUclips who made it easy and got to the point with things. I feel like I'm watching an episode of Sesame Street. LOL. Thank you :)

    Taetro, I feel so encouraged to deeply explore the potential of this machine. So far I've worked exclusively with software instruments, but now that I also have an MPK Mini, I hope it will help achieve more breakthroughs. (I've been a guitarist since the world was flat, so it was epochal for me to jump over to digital composition.) Anyway, I love your approach and look forward to many discoveries with this remarkable instrument.

    Hey man, thanks for this video! I've used it today to learn how to set up my MPK mini mkII to do a bit of live looping. Given you credit in my video description! Didn't get the auto-arm to work properly, but used the pads to arm different tracks. Easy enough workaround.

    Nice way to arm the track and start the loop, for sure the pedal makes ur hands to stay near the keys and it's easier! I used to map the arm button to some of my keyboard letters or numbers and i used it as a midi controller. Thx for the video man and that beat is ultra dope

    @lucazfogo 3 года назад

    Hello I really liked the tutorial, in the part of pausing the battery maybe you can use the "CC" button and select some pad as "Stop Clip Button". If you use just for this function I think it's worth one to Play another for Stop maybe. Arm to Select's tip changed my life. Brazil Here!!!

  • @piotr803
    @piotr803 4 года назад

    19:30 you could probably map this knob to either switch off/on the drum rack device or enable the mute on a Utility device thus completely muting the drums...while still having a portion of the knob throw to just mute the kick. just an idea! great video btw.

    Hi, nice tutorial. Have you tried using the prog select button to swap between the 8 programs of the mpk mini? I mean the ones that come from factory as "MPC", "Garageband", "FLstudio", etc. If you use the MPK mini editor to assign a MIDI channel to each program (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) you can swap between 8 different listening tracks loaded with one VST each, each one listening only on one channel at a time. Yesterday I tried this and it works. Although I dont understand yet how can I control things with the "prog change" button on the DAW (I use reaper).

  • @MrMallux
