hello,,must be a way to make change sequences on the mpc everytime ableton change scene,,this way we could program a specific sequence on the mpc for a specific scene in ableton,,this way we also could send program change from ableton to,,for example your moog or my prophet 8,,any idea on how to do this?

[ona1r]

Absolutely. Sorry for the late response .

What youll wanna do is find a program bank that JUST controls Ableton, go the the F or E letters, just so you dont actually hit them, and Midi link your NEXT SEQUENCE and/or PREVIOUS SEQUENCE to a particular button on the MPC. Personally, I like doing that on a midi controller, but yes , it can be done. If you are getting results that you arn't happy with, use the Midi Filter inside of the MPC to knock out all the unnecessary data.

ace vid.. im so jeaous! :(

[ona1r]

Thank you very much! I am trying to do more. Any requests? This is all Live PA stuff!

[funkulankula]

Thanks for the vid! But how you get this recorded in to a finished song? What you are doing is just live jamming. I mean how you record the MPC while you switch tracks on/off? Are you multi-tracking the mpc outputs to Ableton?

I have MPC and Ableton and im struggling to find a smart way to use them both. I just want to use MPC's sequencer for drums and use Ableton for the rest.

[ona1r]

You can just do that, what you mentioned , MPC for the Drums and

Ableton for the rest of your track, but you can also use ableton to get you started on making an mPC beat, then take the Ableton away and youd be surprised what you can build from scratch when you have just a little "inspiration" playing from Ableton that is locked to time. the pads are REALLY nice on the MPC but Ableton is kind of a pain in the ass right now at Version 7 to kick ALL 60 of those pads over IN ORDER into Ableton...

now u just need some scratchn in there or whistle in higher pitch

[dushiin]

good way to produce

I just posted a video producing on the Logic Pro 8

visit my page and enjoy ya self

[owusumusic]

nice beat

[HDQKalli]

wow

Typically just live Jam, running these outputs all into a MOTU 8 in sound card, recording each instrument separately, then mixing later if any of us get an idea. We have an engineer that pretty much mans the mixer as well in a live situation so thats being put to the test. As far as getting the individual separate programs out of the MPC, you'd need a special card, and I am not really interested in that.
