purchased drums for 1000 for maschine style work flow?

I own a maschine but some how I always end up on my 1000. I have a couple of questions in hopes to streamline the creation process a bit. If you buy drum kits from mpc sample are there programs of all the kits? Are the sounds on the programs always assigned the same. Same kicks snares hi's always assigned to same pads. If so tgen you could program your drums then just load new programs until whatever set sounds the best. If this is the case csn soneone recommend which drum pack to buy from mpc-sample?

I only have one from here, but I found it to be good quality. If I recall it had PGM's that were both full kits as well as the individual drums separate if you do your tracks in that style. It was very good for the price.

Buying from other sources I really don't mind making my own PGM's, if I use a desktop PGM making app on larger libraries I save time and it's an easy way to hear all the sounds and find some favorites before I even hit the MPC.

But the ones for sale here are put together with an eye for being ready to load up in the MPC right away and also give you some versatility PGM/kit and track wise.

I would prefer to work with I designed kit. I downloaded a few free drum packs off the internet and it was a mess. 1000s of files in one folder. Id mix and match to make a kit but it usually sounded off. Would prefer a created program with samples coming from same or similar source. One instance ive felt its worth my time to download and program. Thats with a huge vintage drum machine pack. Pulled it off isohunt. Its a bute.

With a folder of 100's or 1000's of hits you have to re-pitch or detune the ones you choose to be more cohesive in a kit, not really that much more work. Or only choose ones that are complementary as far as pitch.

I can never have too many drums and personally don't mind any quick tweaking needed to make kits from various source,

Sounds like someone wants the hard bit done for them.

That's exactly right. My time is valuable. I'm not going to spend the time to chop and edit bread and butter drums when it can be done for me at a price. Bakers don't grind there own flower when there are cakes to be made.

No offense but that outlook won't pay of in in the long run. You're best served balancing both and take advantage of the upside of both methods.

If you can't be bother to even a tune a drum not sure how you would expect to find your personal sound if you want everything pre-fabricated. Libraries are great but just one part of a huge puzzle.

Like I said above I've taken the time to do this for the vintage drum machine kits. I felt it was worth it for the sounds. I also have kits ive created myself over the years. No matter what drums you use your going to have to tweak and eq. But to go through free sample packs and try to guess and organize what goes where is foolish if you ask me. Its worth 50 bucks to have and organized complete fluid kits. Maybe ill just pay you $50 to do it since you seem to enjoy that part of the beat creation process.

Dude this would have been a knock out if you could spell properly. And if you have $50 to give to a stranger for their drums - just cop a cheap kit off the site and see for yourself.

Yo!

Not trying to come off as asinine but there are free downloadable programs out there that streamline the whole process of creating your very own.... programs. MPCmaid is one that comes to mind and there is also MPC Pad 187 (or something very close to that).

If you have your samples downloaded on your computer, instead of transferring all of them to your MPC where they sit in a labyrinthine CF card you can keep them nice and organized on your PC and create programs AS NEEDED. Kick ass part is that you can save and export your new program in a folder with all the samples + the .pgm file. All nice & neat!

^Indeed. I make 100 PGM's in less than 90 minutes that way.
