Hai Guise ,
I was searching quite a while for a good and affordable hardware device to sequence multiple hardware synthesizers over midi and my conclusion is that there is still nothing that beats a MPC.
So I got a used MPC500 for a good price and started messing around for it since a week now. I think I understood most of the functions now and everything is working really great, never had that much opportunities, but I just can't find a decent workflow.
My method is as follows:
Changing the parameters of the tracks everytime I find something worth sequencing kind of gets me out of my flow, therefore I made a Sequence with preset tracks for all of my gear, sorted on the different banks so I just have to search for the fitting one (like A1: Drum Kick 01, A2: Drum Kick 2, A3 Drum Tom 01, ..., B1: Bass Synth 01, ..., C1: Synth Lead 01, ..., D1: Voice 01, ...).
It's working, but limits me to the presets, but I can't think of any better solution.
Sooooooo I'm asking you to help me out and tell me how you work with your synthesizers and the MPC500.
Thank you!
