Anyone ever load PGM for completely different SEQ data?

I've done this a couple times and it generally produces some interesting results. I'll start working on a project, adding layers to a 4 bar loop with random instrument sounds and whatnot, then get bored and switch to another project loading the new sounds with the PGM file but keeping the sequence data from the last project I was working on.

If you really work with filter settings, attack and decay, fx and 16 pads you can create a dope beat entirely by accident.

yep.
it happens.

Yep. Not only on MPC but back when I used the E64 (emu) with Atari Cubase as sequencer.
got tired of a beat so loaded up a program I was working on before on the E64 and BAM -> crazy shit happens. Not really a beat but more like chaos but still an inspiration and interesting. Some crazy melody stuff too if you load up a multisample program of a piano or other instruments.

peace

Hey tapedeck, lange nicht on gewesen. Wilkommen zurück.

I heard in a kev brown interview, might of been him talking about the brown album (if you dont know, jump on google, guys a genius).

where he said he loaded up a new beat but forgot to load the SEQ and the beat still knocked, think he basslined it and called it a day haha he even mentions the drums were still fine, must of had samples in the same place.

think its this one!

That Kev Brown interview is on point.

I could imagine some of the stuff he'd come up with by making this "accident." It works best when you have a bunch of stabs/chops versus loops, and you compose in 16 levels. This is also good for putting different drum sounds on another sequence. I tend to use the same pads for drums..

props to you as well

this is really something that makes midi and the mpc paradigm so powerful - the separation of seq / sounds means you can substitute all you want.
