Starting the MPC up clean....

is a great way to make new beats.

For a while I was stuck scrolling through MB after MB of samples in my Autoload folder....

Then I realized, hey why not start the MPC up with no Compact Flash? I actually didi it just to turn it on quicker...

Then realized how much faster it is to assign new samples without the old ones cluttering up the memory....

Never had one but I assume this is how most old mahcines with a couple MB memory would have to be, in a way its liberating

plus it forces you to search out new samples instead of reusing old onezzzzz

yup.

i stop using the autoload cause it was tripping me up rather than helping me.
i know some heads on here probalbly find it extremely useful (i guess for kits and bass sounds that they use over and over) but it never turned out to really be helpful for me.

yeah, i turend it off, and load everything manually now. its easier for me to load a folder of bass sounnds all together and scroll through them, in a bunch, one by one whne im trying to find an approximate match

My auto load only loads a blank chromatic program for my synth and I have all of my tracks named, that saves a lot of time.

thats not a bad idea actually.
not thought to go about it that way.

I just made a chromatic program with Blue Box so I could trigger my synth from the pads. It just puts the notes in the right place like playing a keyboard.

Yo TFunk13 can you send me that blank chromatic program?

if i'm not mistaken you can do the same thing without bluebox, just go to Note in the program window and individually change each note takes a while.

yeah default track names are nice, but I get bored of having the same ones over and over... I like to mix it up, sometimes have the kick on track one, sometimes the hihat, sometimews te loop.......

no doubt, that's an awesome idea. my sequences always are just track 1, 2, 3... naming blank tracks in the autoload folder would save so much time and guessing. why didn't i think of that?
might add an 808 set and have some variations on some of the sequence track names. thanks for the tip mang!

I only ever use autoload to keep my live set in, so when I turn it on I don't have to load everything seperately.

Sounds like a real time saver. I think im going to do this and also save a couple of midi tracks.
