What do I need to create my own samples for the MPC?

Hi there,

i was thinking of buying a MPC, actually i dont know which one but before buying one I would like to clear some questions that are buggin me.

I have already worked with a Yamaha RM 1X and Yamaha RS 7000
- (the Yamaha RM 1X and RS 7000 are grooveboxes like the Roland MC 808 for example) -
and the Yamahas have sounds installed in them (drums, base-lines, pianos , strings, sfx and so on ! ) and you can pick for example the drumkit you want and play it on the Yamahas buttons.
But the MPC's dont have this kits from what i heard .
Ok, i guess drums, hi hats & snares aint that hard to get and load them into a mpc!
But what about a piano for example ? If I Buy a MPC and I Buy a midi Keyboard i still dont have any piano sound or strings come out of the keyboard ? But i want to play my on melodies not just sample , you know ?
I know there are a couple of "Keyboards" like the Fantom X Series that have these sounds in them but they are too expensive ! Is there a way to buy a midi Keyboard for a couple of Bucks, connect it to a PC and get the string sounds for example from the PC ? So I could play my own shit on the keyboard, with the sounds which come from the PC and record all of this into the MPC ?

Or are there maybe affordable Keyboards which have sounds like pianos strings base-lines installed in them , so I could get one of these and connect it to the MPC?

I know this may sound confusing but I really dont know how to explain it better ! especially because my english is whack

thx !

you can record anything into the mpc as long as its connected the right way. so if you are using a daw, you can play audio from vst into the mpc

Either you could take some free samples you find on the internet, or invest some money on professionally recorded samples/multisamples of instruments. Look for that on ebay, they go from maybe 20€ to over 100€, depending on quality. But still a better option than buying another expensive workstation for that, if you really need good piano samples.


Peace

thx @ all

@ _Stilo_
die samples von denen du sprichts sind das bereits gespielte Melodien? Weil ich möchte ja selber was einspielen verstehste mich =). Ich hab halt vorher mit den Yamaha gearbeitet und da brauchst du ja nur ein midi keyboard anschliessen und los gehts weil im Yamaha alles drinnen ist ..
Ich lege viel wert auf dieses feature weil ich sonst nur suchen und schneiden muss und dass ist nicht ganz meine vorstellung von Beats machen.
Bei einer MPC muss man sich alles "besorgen" sprich schneiden oder etwa nicht ?
Ich bin mir halt nicht sicher wie das gerät funktioniert und ehe ich mir ein 900 € gerät kaufe würde ich schon ein wenig kenntnisse sammeln, kannste denke ich gut nachvollziehen.

EDIT:
Kannst du mir vielleicht eine MPC empfehlen ? Was ich so mitbekommen habe ist, dass die 1000 die neuste ist , ohne die 500 jetzt zu beachten. Aber die 1000 wirkt irgendwie durch ihr optisches viel schwächer als die 2000 und die 2000XL aber optik hat natürlich nichts mit der technik zu tun.
Dennoch kommts mir so vor als ob die 1000 unbeliebt ist !?

Danke noch mal !

This is an international forum, why not write in English so everyone can benefit from the information revealed?

sorry ! i didnt mean to be rude ! i just saw that _stilo_ is from germany as well so I thought I explain my questions again in german language because it would be easier for me to discribe it ...

Alright then, if you can describe it for him better, and better help him I mean. I can't say nothing bad about that

^ yeah homie I appreciate that ... only problem is he didn't responde yet

Check your PMs...

Basically he was just asking if those are single notes or complete melodies I was talking of. Of course you can get plenty of single-note samples, like those for example. But there are also many others around which are not specifically prepared for the MPC. It's a little more complicated to set them up with an MPC and a MIDI keyboard maybe than with a rack sampler, but it works as well.

jeah

cd's out the yin yang

i would suggest getting one of those keyboards like the fantom or if your computer is decent look into VST's. the mpc isnt really designed to do instruments the way you want to. you CAN get what you want through multi samples but its a pain. i use the piano multisamples sold on this site all the time

if you still have your yamaha's...i personally have the RS7000...to me it has some great old school sounds that i like, use that with a midi controller oxygen R49 to make your melodies, or hook the controller to your cpu with a good software prgm i.e reasons
