    In this video, we do a comprehensive walkthrough of the MPC workflow so you get up and running after this beginner tutorial. We'll cover everything from step sequencing, live performance techniques, drum programming, FX and more. And on top of that we'll show off the Splice integration that really supercharges your sample workflow on ANY MPC with Wifi (MPC One+, MPC Live, MPC X and more).

    I have been a MPC live user for about 4 yrs now and I still come to the MPC tutorials on UA-cam because I love producer based content and there is always something new to pick up on.. This was a great refresher for me. Very easy to fallow, strait to the point, and hit all the basses. Good motivator for me to start banging one out.

    Very clear and helpful presentation. One thing to note: you don't have to keep resetting the play head before recording - you can just hit Rec and then Play Start (instead of Play). It will start recording from the very beginning (after the count in).

    Just got that today. Getting an SD card for it next week. Until then, I'll be in control mode. Before this, I used the Touch. My newer Mac won't see it. Perfect opportunity to grab the first standalone model I've owned since the original 2000. Great video. Very encouraging

    Been debating which one to get Mpc key 37 or plus one since already have midi keyboard might just get the one plus looking like more deal for me

    Hello! thanks for the video, when I click on "splice" my screen stays in "Attempting to connect to network" forever, I am connected to wifi correctly, is there any step I need to do before?

    Awesome video! Thank you. I just purchased the MPC One + and am trying to research it before using it. Would you say its best to save all of the different sounds into your favorites before starting to make a beat?

    Hey, just got my Mpc one plus. Activated my “splice” but there is nothing in that section. It says “no new samples”. So where do they go on the mpc…? Sorry for stupid question

    why does the splice bridge not appear in the Akai MPC 2 software? I never managed to load Splice bridge on a midi channel in MPC 2 software, Am I doing something wrong? or cannot load Splice bridge in MPC 2 software? Thank you in advance.

    • @splice
      @splice  Рік тому +1

      Hi there! As of now Splice Bridge isn't supported in the MPC 2 software, however a workaround is loading up MPC 2 in a free DAW like reaper and loading bridge onto a MIDI track alongside with MPC 2. Sorry for any inconvenience!

    Thanks for the video. I hear this is a great entry level MPC. Is it worth the extra $200 to get the MPC Key 37? Or should I get this? Thanks again.

    I bought a new MPC One+ and now am using it for 1 week. Is it normal that the 16 pads do not react all the same to fingerdrumming ? Sometimes they even dont register a hit. It is annoying when trying to compose a song. Thinking about returning this new MPC One+. Anyhow, your video is good and easy to understand.

    the recording length seems fixed?? its that true? can you record a pattern without fixed length an the edit the length afterwards?

    I have to wait for all the splice sounds to download takes forever especially if you have samples that are over 2000 +
    what should I do to avoid samples to load ?

    I love my MPC One + but I honestly do not like how splice works in it
    Form synchronizing everything I have purchased on slice to how the Folgers are split up.
    They should just exclude it if it’s not functioning like the app
