Hey anyone here make techno or glitch stuff on their mpcs ? A lot of the YouTube guys make hip hop and it’s hard to find some people making really hard techno on them

Here’s a link to the stuff I like To make with mine :)

I do, drum n bass, house, synthwave, bass, breakbeats, and stuff in between. At times the mpc isnt the best device for doing that stuff though, sometimes it's better as a sound generation tool plugged into a daw and resampled and imho a lot of hard techy electronic genres rely on manually programming and heavy use of automation which i dont find intuitive on the mpc itself. Kinda how I have been using my mpc lately rather than it being the central unit.

there is a lotta different music being produced other then hip hop on this forum

but yeah i would guestimate that at least 50% of dudes on this forum started off doing hip hop

but mpc obviously has the hip hop and house stereotype

I don't know what I'm doing, but it is not hip-hop: mostly internal synths and some external ones through MIDI, rarely some samples - mostly one-shot... Listening to synthwave is what convinced me to buy a MPC One - and then I slowly found that our device can make anything, and that I'm absolutely inconsistent !

Most tedious part is slicing the spoken word and then playing the whole book on the pads.

I get that & I guess you can pitch up the samples to speed them up temporarily, but the mere fact that someone even thought to use a MPC to make an audiobooks is some real next level shit. I don't know we should beat his ass or buy him a beer & a lap dance.

:idea: Akai should use this audiobook making potential in their advertisements. It would be cool if we could read word documents like the manual & song lyrics on the screen.

Oh yes, akai should definitely develop this topic and make audio editing and post-production easier. Even automatic fade-in and fade-out after cutting a fragment should be the norm. Deeser would also be useful. I won't mention tools for mastering such productions. And tools for intelligent removal of clicks or too loud breathing are just a dream. The ability to display text for reading should be easier to implement in mpc :)

If they add the manual it would be cool if we could use the pads in all the banks as bookmarks. Ai click removal tools would dope.

Not hiphop here, but not even beat driven. My main project releases ambient/drone on cassette.
