A short video of me playin the MPC2000 and a MPD32 controlling Ableton Live Intro. Nothing was sequenced. The MPC is playing internal samples layered with a drum program from the Roland XV5050.



The album I sampled from got so much shit on it that I'll probably end up remixin the whole thing.

Nice drums and sample chops.

Thanks... but if you put me in front of a drum set I'd sound like shit. I sampled/chopped and warped (damn I love the warp feature) in Ableton Intro and used Impulse. For the long vocal sample I launched a clip. I launched another clip to free up my left hand for the drum solo. I see you're deep into Ableton. I'm really just gettin started on it... but I'm hooked. Still can't replace my MP but I'm thinkin if I had the full version (drum racks) it would be possible.
