Hello, i´m new to the MPC stuff and I like to make beats on FL Studio, I saw many videos where people use midi out to sync mpc to keyboards.

So, I want to play midi sequences (chords, bass, beats) on FL Studio (keyboard midi out - fruity midi in) and send fruity (midi out) to MPC 1000 (midi in).

But the problem is, is MPC 1000 good when its about multisamples, like playing pads, pianos???

My usually setup would be layer +-24 diferent one shot samples and 4-8 harmonic sounds.

I know MC 808 from roland can do that, but MPC can give me 80 GB of sample library, so, that´s my point, if MPC can do what MC can, I would rather use MPC.

Could you help me please????

Thanks.

This seems like two questions in one. The first is whether you can use the MPC as a controller for FL studio. Yea, you can, but really something cheaper like a trigger finger or an mpd 16 or 24 would be more useful (and cheaper) than an mpc.

In terms of being able to play one shots, harmonic sounds etc. Yes the MPC can do that. Depending on which model you get your polyphony will vary.

One thing though, and you might already know this, but if you connect an mpc to say FL studio via midi your mpc wont record the sounds, just trigger the midi events.

good...

so, if I do a midi track on the computer and then export midi to the mpc I can even make mpc to play my microkorg and fantom, right?

I´ll get one soon!!! tx
