TWO MPDS ... i felt really limited by switching banks because i couldn't really combine banks, it was either this or that. so now... that has all be taken care of, alittle different to get used to while playing them both but man.... i'm alot happier with what's coming out now and i'm sure two of them will be handy for live use.

so if you're looking to spice things up in your production, i would really suggest two mpds. and shit... the new mpd 18 looks pretty damn cool. cheap.

thats an interesting choice haha id like to see those in action

ive done weird things to spice things up too like

kaoss padding with my feet

and

using my sustain pedal as a midi trigger for a kick drum

I often sprink a little coriender over my kicks, just to give them that ehhh "kick"


(sorry couldnt resist)

damn... the sustain pedal as a trigger is a really good idea. does it respond well?

perfectly

but you have to have a keyboard to plug it into because the 555 doesnt transmit midi messages, i cycled through all the pedal settings and none of them do

it would have been interesting to have the effect turn on and the kick to be the same trigger


i did this in ableton live, you select a clip and in launch settings set the quantization to none and mode to trigger. the cntrl m to midi map and just select the sample. then play your sp's on top

i can't use my hands and feet at the same time at all. my foot pedal has been collecting dust for years

its a bit more for fun really

but ive made a few loops with some serious swing with it

We all know mpd's taste better when dipped in chocolate.
