Hey MPC forum community. I've been using my MPC One since it hit the market & have systematically built up a steady flow of music making output on it, much like i did with my 2000XL. While I love generating new tracks on the One I just can't depend on it in a live PA setting. Whether it's within a minute or 5 to 15 minutes, the One's CPU usage skyrockets & suddenly both sound & timing are effected. For the record I use my own program samples only & i use no built in plugins or effects on the One, yet still the One shits itself rendering it useless as a live workhorse in a gig/performance setting. Would I be better off using the One in controller mode along with MPC Beats on my Macbook? My initial reason for buying the One was to get back to jamming on the fly minus a computer, and using the One live with no laptop needed in my live rig, but it seems I just can't do this on the One in standalone mode. Below is a short live mix of my tunes I managed to do on the One until it suddenly stopped on its own up at the end. This is nothing but the One, no external midi gear being sequenced, and of course no plugins used just to give you guys an example to what degree I use the One in:
