akai mpc4000 and granular synthesis

[foge1]

I was using sysex.

how do you assign a cc to loop start. you can't set it on the mpc 4000 in the modulation screen. Are you using sysex? or are you using sample start?

[WARDISWARD]

how does the touch screen control the mpc's looppoints ...don't get it ..I mean the physical connection

Or do you use ak.sys with a touchscreen ?

[danimuschi]

do a search for: demoon synth and check out the first granular hardware synth...

I put FL studio on my MPc kind-of.

But I script edited on a mac

@ADADIZZLE How?

[foge1]

It can be accomplished on any sampler where u can lock the loop time.

Would an sp-404 work?

[petersedin]

@foge1

yes.. and on samplers where note-value can control the loop-length.. it gets really cool:)

Okay, now that I actually have watched the entire video, I guess my question is actually "Any idea if someone would be able to pull this off on an MPC without a touchscreen peripheral?"

@ShaneDignan

I know it's an old post I'm replying to, but yes, this would be incredibly easy to implement with a cheap midi knob box (something like a phatboy, bcf/bcr2000, or even a NanoKontrol if you can plug USB controllers into the MPC)..

Even then, you could easily program it to work with 3 or 4 knobs.

Check out CurtisHeavy if you have an iPhone (the makers also do a lite version which is actually really nifty), and it will really help to teach you the fundamentals of granular synthesis

@jarrydn Cool. Thanks for the info!

[ShaneDignan]

Any idea if someone would be able to pull this off on an MPC1000 (particularly if I have JJ OS 2)?

[tyron26musikman]

I could get real funky with that. Nice vid man.

Great post keep at it.
