MPC1000/Drumfill/Synth Questions

What's poppin people,

This is Spot from Ottawa/Ontario/Canada.

I got a couple questions.

Is there a special technique to laydown a dope drumroll or drum fill for the end of my drum loops?

I currently work in the 88-95bpm range and 1/16.

My other question is..

My setup consists of:

Korg N364 Synth
Mpc 1000
Logic 7
Tascam Us-122

Now,

Right now I pretty much just playing the keys on the keyboard till i hear something i like then recording the individual sounds and assigning them to the pads on the MPC and re-playing them. Does this make sense? Or is there an easier way?

Thanks Yall

a lot of people set it at 1/16
and start on a higher pitch tom drum and go to a lower one(s)
or just turn of quantize and do you.

i couldnt completely understand you, but this is what i think you meant

for the other question do u have midi?

yea i got midi...

midi on the keyboard, mpc, and on the tascam interface...

i just want to be able to play melodies from my keyboard to my mpc and have it record the sounds from the keyboard...

Thanks for the response

^Midi isn't gonna record your synth sounds into the MPC. You'll need audio

just connect the midi on the keyboard to the mpc. Then what you play on the keyboard will loop in sync with whats goin on in the mpc. but the sound you play on the keyboard stay on the keyboard, and sounds on the mpc stay in the mpc-- so they need to be combined with a mixer
