MPC!?!?!??!

happy birthday man- yeah the 2k is a nice machine. Your gonna miss all the FX of the SP though. But your gonna get an official copy pattern feature, swing %, you can assign different sequences to play automatically, different time sigs, and a bunch of other shit to play around with. And of course the pitch shift helps a lot- I like using that to make basslines from one note.
I havnt used my 2k in about a year and a half, maby I'll give it a visit today.

Check out youtube videos and make the manual your bible until you know the commands by memory. How 'bout SP and MPC with a mixer in between.
Happy Borndate.

yeah i want a mv. PHeMoX, how you like it? i read it was tricky to learn.

I like it a lot. I miss my sp606 a little bit, not being able to join in battles here kind of sucks, but I wouldn't trade my MV for the world.

I'm still learning a lot at the moment about the machine, so I obviously haven't found out about all tricks yet, however it's not very tricky to learn.

It's quite easy to pick up and you will figure out a reasonably fast work-flow in almost no time (as in a work-flow comparable to what I used to do on my SP-606, which basically boils down to no noticeable change in work-flow and time it takes me to make beats.).

The way the machine works makes a lot of sense in my opinion. I haven't actually read the manual a lot yet.. something that's still on my to-do list. But I'm usually learning faster the hard way of just trying out and doing things. Well, as I'm not at all frustrated about this process yet, I can not conclude other than to say that it's really easy to get into!

Yeah, I've also heard about people having difficulties with it, but they usually have problems because they're stuck in thinking of the MV as if it's an 'mpc'. It's more obvious than it sounds, but the mv is not an mpc. I'm inclined to say that it's more than an mpc, but regardless of features and so on, it works slightly different even though you can actually do the same on the MV.

So yeah, to end this little rant of how it went so far, I've had little problems learning the device and there's still a lot to discover!! This machine is huge though, there's a lot possible.

Man I don't think anyone can honestly claim to know this machine inside out in just a few months. Ironically, some of the people that complained about the MV apparently 'did' know the machine inside out.

Anyways, yeah go cop one if you've got the money, it's definitely worth it. I had to work and also sell my Kaoss Pad 3, SP-606 and some more stuff to be able to get it, but it was totally totally worth it!

post somthing you got from that badboy...i wouldnt mind hearing that crunchy warm mpc sound!

Yeah, I will post as soon as I got something finished.

I was actually busy trying to flip the battle 27 samples on my MV. Probably will finish this in a few days and post in the battle thread. I have to admit though, my skills in overall production aren't the greatest yet.

There are plenty of people who can make better productions with 'less' gear.

Happy birfday! You may wanna look into getting a flash card drive for your MPC. I had an ASX Pro for a while and learned fast that compared to compact flash zip drives SUCK.

You can find flash card drives for em at the link below.
