Hey! You know it's gift giving time! It's the holidays and while your sittin around drinking some nog, you can play around with some new sounds on your MPC 500.
Here's a link to a zip with a couple of MPC 500 programs created by me.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jbttt9cya7hnu ... t.zip?dl=0
Drums on bank A, bass on bank B, comps/pads on bank C, and leads on bank D.
Here's one way to use em...
Make an empty 2 bar sequence. Put one program on track 1 and the other program on track 2. Leave that sequencer on overdub and mess around with all the banks on track 1. If you made a sound you didn't like, hold down the erase button and the offending pad. Got a good groove going? Switch to track 2 and add some more drums to the groove. Mute track 1 and start making a new groove on track 2.... hey your live composing now!!!
Oh yeah, leave full level off and mess around with some velocity... some of those C bank sounds will do some cool things with changing velocity.
Merry Happy Ho Ho!!!
