I got the Akai Professional MPK49, several years ago, and even though I knew what it could do, in mapping sounds to pads, I couldn't bring myself, to pick up a flow that was different from the familiar keyboard fingering, and hand shapes. This video helped me, to see the limiting, can be more than a tweaking tool, but it can be the ESCAPE LADDER out of the ever expanding OCEANS OF SOUND, that I find myself lost in, more often than not. I've seen RJD2 in concert twice, and the geometric nature of shape constraints altering flow, make for more than I had realized. There's a forground, middleground, and background, that I picked up on, but this is like finding the actual roots and branches, when before, I was only appreciating the leaves. Thank You, as a musician, and thank you, as a dancer, as I know this will help me find even more fun gears, and the beat goes on, just like my love, everlasting. ☮️Peace ☮️A Just Peace ☮️
The approach, direction, and the care to have that attention to detail is magnificent. Thank you for sharing.
I could non-stop listen to him talkin about music
Please someone link the original reel to reel vid.
Perfectly described for anyone to understand.
Until he said geometric shapes 😂
This is a really nice video, well edited, filmed and a good interview.
This piece was killer. Great insight on approach to using MPC. Thanks!
This man inspired me with his music so much as a kid and still to this day 💯
Wow, great video
Loved this!
Thank You
