MPC 1000 Choppin it up like a samurai

aight i locked myself in my room and i told myself i aint comin out till i had a song...i pretty much self taught myself how to use my mpc..all im askin is for some one on here, anybody to jus show me how to chop....(not what to chop) but how to disect pieces of a song then smash it back into bars and boom it flows smoothly, i kinda figured out this process a little bit by recreating songs but i cant make my own sh!T, and when i do its hard.....somebody please help me....i want to chop ill...and ive been trying but to no avail.....please.......help me out............im starting lose it with the chops..........

first off, I highly reccomend you download the JJ os, chopping is like, tenfold easier with this, plus there's a lotta other shit in there that's useful. but anyways, just go to chop, select how many pieces you wanna chop into, and boom you got your slices. if you just go through the manual it's probably a lot more extensive...just take a look for yourself. chopping on the mpc is really easy, just use your ears my man and you're on your way. hope I was of some help, peace

TRUTH

make each note or transient its own file and then reprogram those chops as close to the original in increments of 1/96

ALL of that comes with time, patience, practice, trial and error. You aint gonna "get ill" in one week, not even 2. There's NO "auto-experience" button on any mpc.

im not using jj os and the way i chop is get the loop you like then go to the trim page and slice it, now 9 times out of 10 you wont get it to chop exactly so then you will have to edit each slice to your liking, but like lamp dog said time will get you where you wanna be!

yea ive seen that kev brown joint like 50 times, dude is ill wit da chops, i guess if it take times im lockin myself up in my room this year and i aint comin out till its hot plain and simple.........Kanye said 5 beats a day for three summers...im jus gonna do a year, and see wat happens......yea dat jj os a fvckin beast......1

take your sample....chop up each note...or Section of notes (with the starting note you'd prefer at start of sample)...

lay them out to each pad...so that you can hit that specific note you prefer on the start of each sample...of each pad....


first i like to drop down a drum beat...that way i have a beat refference to go by....

i then practice around for about 10 min's with the samples...layed out between the 16 pads...see which ones go better in tune and melody...


shit will come together before you know it...
