Hi everybody
I'm totally new to the mpc world and workflow. I recently took the jump from using elektron products, because I kept hearing good stuff about the mpc1000 and jjos. I make like electronica/idm type stuff and will primarily use the mpc to make beats from hits and loops, and use the grid/step sequencer. Furthermore I will use it to manipulate my samples/recording more. But coming from a elektron background I really love the parameter locks, and from what I've heard it can be done visual (not using ol skool step edit), to some extend, using os2xl. Meaning that every note of the same sample can have different values.
But I'm kinda lost between the version of jjos, apart from the fact that os2xl is where the fun is at. Currently I'm using 3.16, and I find the grid/step sequencer fairly limited compared to what I've seen can be done using os2xl.
So I need to upgrade but I dont know which version is best for me - I found some topics stating that some key features from the step/grid sequencer disappeared in OS3? But the whole mpc terminology is new to me, so reading a long topic can be quite overwhelming.
So people out there using mpc+jjos ox2xl for making electronica/idm stuff - which vesrion do you use, and why - is OS3 the one to go with? And some secret tricks & tips on making idm/electronica on the mpc, would be lovely :)
Cheers!!
