By the way, if you came here after the latest update and wondered why you don't see the detect button, it's because it's been moved. Follow the steps in Tubedigga's video, then in the sample edit page look for an arrow on the right hand side of the screen, this will take you to the bpm and key detect page.
New to the MPC and I wish I would have seen this video sooner. I have been trying to find someone who actually explains this accurately for a few days. Thank you for getting to the point and actually teaching!
Thank you for that... I am still in alot of confusion regarding my management in files in general, and program files in particlar. Have you adressed that specific issue anywher in your videos?
Yes it’s still in the sample editor but now you have to press the small white arrow on the right of the screen to slide the view over. See my MPC 2.10 update overview video, it demonstrates all the new features.
awesome! realise this is old, so might not check comments, but what would you do if you want to pitch a melodic sample in semi tone increments so you can play other things along in key? would you then just alter the tempo of the whole jam a bit to match?
Yes that’s one way of doing it - you basically have to decide what you want to maintain and keep as natural as possible without resorting to actual pitch shifting or time stretching/ warping effects (unless you’re ok with that) and then adjust all your other elements to that. So if that’s a piano loop then you derive your tempo from that and fit everything else around it. Things get complicated when you try and use more than melodic loops at two different tempos and try to make them work together both rhythmically and harmonically - something that Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) was very good at.
@@TUBEDIGGA awesome, thanks legend. Yeah that makes sense! Will give it a crack. Thanks for the response / the vids and also agree, he’s great at that!
It’s shown to the left of the bottom middle of the screen. If you can’t see it you may have sliced your sample. If that’s the case then choose ALL where you select the slice. Make sure you’re in TRIM mode, not CHOP.
I have a question, is there any way to use the midi out on a synthesizer to trigger start-stop on the MPC X without triggering sounds? The start-stop feature works great on a synth with a sequencer but as I play I also trigger the MPC pads over the song. Might changing the midi channels help?
Good morning, I have the Mpcx and with the updates that has happened between the reales of this video to now, there is no detect function like the one in the video. Can you give an updated lesson on how to do this please.
The detect and from bpm functions are still there but you have to press the small white arrow shown towards the bottom right of the sample edit page and they’ll slide into view.
In trim mode in the sample editor press the small white arrow in the right hand side of the screen. This slides the from bpm option into view. If you need beginner help, advice and / or tech support please email me to organise a session over Zoom. My email address is in the description if you’re interested.
Quick question. Im not sure what im doing wrong but when i press from bpm. The bpm shown isnt matching the bpm of the sample. It always shows something crazy like 547.34 bpm and even manually if i change or detect the bpm it still shows the wrong one in the from bpm menu.
First thing to check - have you trimmed the sample to an exact amount of beats? For example, does the sample loop perfectly over 1 or 2 bars etc? Second thing to check - have you fed the beat information to the MPC? 4 beats if its a one bar loop, 8 beats for two bars etc. They are the only factors that would determine whether the cotrrect bpm is detected or not.
@@TUBEDIGGA so it seems like the problem isnt when i press detect. That looks right. Its when i press the "from bpm" button the bpm it bases the pitch off is always reset to the bpm that appears when you first enter the editor. No matter how many times i hit detect or if i manually enter it myself. When i press "from bpm" it goes to a number that i dont want so if i use the match tool the pitching is way off. I end up just needing to use a calculator to figure out how many semitones to pitch it and do it that way.
@@Baddy3shoez Like I said, you have to trim a sample to an exact amount of beats and enter that value into the beats field in the pop up window for from bpm. There’s no other reason why it would miscalculate the bpm. Otherwise your MPC is malfunctioning.
You mean to tell me that there is no way possible to turn off the master tempo sync without it changing the bpm on all the 16 stock samples on a kit? All that I am trying to do is keep all 16 samples on the stock kit the same way, yet change the tempo of my beat? There has got to be a way to change the master tempo, but keep the sounds the same way that they are originally on the pad? This is really messing up my workflow? Please, can anyone help?...SBN RESONATE
I’m not sure what you mean exactly. If a sample is a short drum sound for example then it’s irrelevant as you’ll be able to program it into a sequence at any tempo and keep it at its root pitch / speed. If a sample is a phrase or loop (1 or more bars etc) then you can either leave it as is and do whatever is necessary to make it sit in your sequence correctly, or you can use WARP to have it stretch at different tempos. However I don’t use it much myself as it produces artefacts which don’t sound great. This video wasn’t about any of that, this was about matching a particular loop that is rhythmic to your sequence or vice versa.
Kind of, it’s not as flexible as Ableton where you can place individual warp markers and the algorithms are limited in standalone. But yes, you can keep time and change pitch or vice versa. This video is obviously the old school organic way :)
I’d have to see what you’ve done or how you did it to understand the problem. The only reason I can think of without seeing your MPC is that the sample you have issues with has been chopped and you’re trying to detect the bpm of a slice, instead of the whole sample. If you need further help o offer tech support / lessons over zoom, $1 per minute. This would take less than 10 minutes to diagnose.
There’s many ways to do this and depending on what you want to stretch you’ll get different results from each method. The easiest way with the poorest results is to apply non destructive warping to a pad in the program editor. The second easiest is to use time-stretch or pitch shift in the sample editor. This is best for non rhythmic material. My preferred method is to not use material that I have to time stretch or pitch shift, so I’ll chop instead and make it work manually. One of my biggest pet hates in music production is when you can hear someone has used time stretch or pitch shift as a utility to correct something. If it’s used for an effect then fair enough.
I cant figure out why in a demo project I can speed up and slow down the bpm from the top of the main page , but when I start a new project the only way to change bpm is to individually time stretch the sample or warp.
I’m not sure what you’re issue is exactly but I’ll assume the demo project is only using one shot samples that will sound pretty much the same over a wide range of tempos and therefore don’t require time stretching to stay in time. If you’re using samples that have rhythms within themselves like loops or musical phrases then naturally they won’t sound in time if you adjust the sequence tempo, unless they are warped.
Hi Tube Digga! Your videos are excellent, and always enjoy seeing new content. This question doesn't relate to this specific video, but I have an MPC Live question you might know the answer to. Do you know if its possible to assign external MIDI controllers to control the QLinks on the Live? I'm trying to figure out if a Midi Fighter Twister can control the 4 banks of QLinks in the same way the MPC X does. The main reason is to have access to the sample editing zooms, in & out points etc, which would be very handy instead of constantly clicking the Q-Link bank button to access different functions. Thanks in advance!!
Hi, because parameters such as sample start and end etc aren't automatable, unfortunately midi control over qlinks is not possible - only if you are using a MIDI program to control an external synth for example, and set the external controller to control the MIDI parameter of the synth. But it wont control an internal CC relating to a qlink - for example MIDI CC 112 is used for qlink 13, so any external device that uses CC 112 for a certain parameter can be controlled via another midi controller and you'll see that parameter move on the MPC when using a MIDI program - but again, this is only going to send midi back out to another device and not control the MPC qlink itself for internal parameters like zoom etc.
@@TUBEDIGGA Ahhh - thanks, that answers my question so I can put that one to rest for the time being. It would be interesting to chat with one of the Akai programmers to get some insight into how the Q-Links communicate internally in case there is some way to access the zoom controls. The Q-Links might be sending OSC messages internally given that the zoom & waveform scrolling would be using values that exceed MIDIs 128 steps - if that was the case it might be accessible via OSC through the USB port, but it would require an OSC address (and total speculation on that)... But they also might just use integer or float values without OSC which probably wouldn't be accessible. Anyway, thanks for the reply!
Hector Salcedo Not from the menu shown in this video - you’d have to either use the timestretch process function or the not so accurate warp function for pads.
I know I just think to much but that decimo tempo you say won't make a difference, what confuses me is how? Seams I am too precise to perfectly match bpm but depending on sample it either works out perfect or 70 percent of time just doesn't and I scrap the beat 😅😅
I’m trying to understand the difference in match vs sequence. When you “match” the sample you adjust the sample to the tempo/project but when you “sequence” the sample you adjust the tempo/project to the sample…correct?
Yes, thats exactly right. Sequence will change the current sequence tempo/BPM to match the speed (pitch) of the sample, Match will do the opposite and re-pitch the sample to match the current sequence BPM.
I am a 10+ year MPC user, and this is a great feature that I've liked to see many times. Often I'm working on a track in say, 120, and then I get curious as to what it would sound like at 160, with all sounds sped up. Retuning all the samples is kind of a hassle. Will this feature work globally for all samples if you set it that way?
Hi dude ... my unit landed few days ago ... i have to say that the sound quality is day & night comparing with my old octatrack ... i even pay more attention to your tutorials now ... this machine is killer ... just a quick question ... did you easily replaced the q-link knobs ? I'd like to get the red ones from mpc stuff but i just don't want to take the X appart just to replace the knobs ... thanks again for your videos
Crescendo Apre They just simply screw straight to the D shaft of the potentiometers. Make sure you screw them to the curved edge, not the flat edge otherwise they’ll be loose. You’ll need a very small/precision Allen key.
Hi I’m very new to MPC I have a break I’m trying to run at 170 bpm I’ve followed the steps in this vid but my break sounds very fast for some reason why is that please?
You may have counted the wrong amount of beats? I don’t know, it could be many things but that’s the first thing to check. Your sample needs to be cut to an exact amount of beats (preferably an even number like 2/4/8/16 etc) and not have some random inherent timing.
Colorblind That’s not what this video is about but yes you can in a couple of different ways. However both will produce unnatural artefacts particularly if you deviate too much from a samples original tempo. For example, you can ‘warp’ a single pad in a drum program but you’ll notice the sample will loose an amount of its original quality and too my ears at least, it’s unusable for things like break beat samples/loops. Same goes for the clip tracks, it’s pretty much the same algorithm and I personally find it to be cheap and nasty. Last of all you have the timestretch function in the sample editor l. Whilst it’s much higher quality than the two previously mentioned methods, there is only so much it can do. The results will vary from sample to sample so you just need to experiment. I personally chop my breaks manually then reconstruct them in the sequencer so I don’t have to rely on poorly implemented effects so I have full control over what speed or pitch I want them to be. If you want private tuition with me I can show you exactly how to do it the organic way so things sound decent, email me at tubedigga@gmail.com if you’re interested

@@ForrestBells Are you using MPC 3? If so there was a bug that was stopping this feature from working. You have to press in the top left of the screen in sample edit mode to re-select the sample which brings it back into focus. Then from bpm will work. In either MPC 2 or 3, I wouldn’t worry about the detect part of it. From bpm will do that for you anyway as long as you’ve trimmed your sample to an extract amount of beats. As long as you can enter in the beats field, then your MPC will know how many the sample contains.
Bob Joyner No, I think it’s possibly always been there but I just specify it to tell people it’s for the hardware and software. Quite a few people have asked me to demo the from bpm function. 👍
