I have question, can I do the same thing

with my mpc 4000 en with my microkorg

I wont the sound of my mocrokorg on my mpc4000 en I won her my drum loop to make baseline is that possible?

[ona1r]

Yes Very Easy, Jsut go in and out , and when you record the bassline, make your Out 1 to your Midi 1 , and the IN will already be seen. Make sure you setup the patches correctly or next time you boot up the MPC, it wont remember the patches, then youll be screwed!

[ona1r]

Sure. Just go in and out of the MCP Midi , and make sure you check out your MicroKorg ref manual to see exactly how many banks are on the Microkorg, in case you need to jump from bank A to bank B, Then you have to adjust the settings in the PROGRAM > WINDOW on theMPC to make a BANK CHANGE.

i hav a question, does the mpc have output sounds to use your keyboard as a midi controller straight from the mpc, AND still record onto the mpc the things u play?

[ona1r]

A few Answers. YES, you can load sounds to play out of the MPC via a midi controller. For instance, say you have just a simple bass sample. You can load that one sound into the MPC, and it will act as SOMEWHAT of a instrument that has Keygroups, which means it will play the 1 Bass sample in as many pitches as you have on your midi controller.

[ona1r]

The MPC does NOT record sessions, but rather sequences MIDI data, and either plays it out though the MPC or any external gear. All your recording needs to go into a soundcard individually. So if yo have a synth, a drum machine and the MOC, you can record all 3 sources into your soundcard, then master and mix your track inside your recording application. I recommend Ableton . the MPC DOES Record, but its more for sampling, so less than a minute of recording and really favors a turntable

[ona1r]

Dont think of the MPC as a recording device unless you are talking about sampling. If you want to pop off to record into the MPC, youll have to put it in sample mode, and iether sample from a turntable or Line in Source, OR if you want to sample a sequence fomr the MPC,  Record it then resample it.

Its not really a workstation, just mmore of a glorified drum machine =) hope this helps and welcomes and corrections.

Ummmm.....mr ona1r do you produce or conduct any sort if music/beats? for any company?

[powarule]

one thing i hate about midi and mpc is you have to BANG the pads super hard to trigger the external sounds. you are crushing your pads dude , why dont you bang your pads when demonstrating your INTERNAL sounds

[smackdee]

Have you ever played with an MPC 4000, the thing is built like a tank, he's not harming the MP at all, feels good to bang-out like that!!!

[ona1r]

Thanks!  I didnt wanna point that out, but you are right! This thing can take a beating!

[megagavelli]

does the mpc change the sound of the korg programs/sounds? does it add anything to them? im looking for a way to fatten up the sounds from my korg m3 and was thinking that playing them through an mpc might do the trick

[ona1r]

You have total control over both the MPC and the Korg. In fact , you can really access the FX of the Korg directly from the MPC. Just make sure you stay in sequencer mode and you will be fine. PM me if you have questions..
