Just curious,
Bought an MPC 1000 to kick around with a couple of months ago to learn on. Got a gig playing live. Have been making some programs oriented to more iive-style playing, but wanted to know if I was missing anything or if someone could tell me if there was a better way.
Right now my setup is:
On the sequencer, I have one sequence per program which has drum lines programmed into the tracks (average 10 tracks/program) that I move through and mute/adjust tempo with...
Each program has most of the drum sounds on the D bank, while the melodic sounds are in A-C...
If there is a bass line, sometimes I resample it and record it into a sequence so that it only takes up one pad as opposed to a potential many...
I can load three to four programs giving me about an hour and a half's worth of music, if I stretch some stuff/fool around a bit.
I know I could resample things to compress it more, but I wanted to be moving around a bit so it's interesting to watch.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading,
