What up every1? I was watching the tube last night and was flickin thru tha channels and I stopped at MTV2 and i hear this beat thats ok,but it grabs my attention cuz the hi-hats are crazy ill retarded.!! its a Jermaine Dupri production( im pretty certain!) It was Janet Jackson feat. Nelly(Now this is def not my kind a muzic-Nelly aint HIPHOP and Janet damnsure aint-she iz fine 4 a 40 yr old broad!)off her new album. I wanna know how to program my hihats like that. They was repeating but they kept changing time like they was on a 1/8(3) then a 1/16 then a 1/16(3) then back to the 1/8(3)-Im tryin to exzplain the best i can. I tried to program them like i explained but couldnt gety the desired result. If anyone can help me out i appreciate it.................Peace, G :?: :!:

which mpc are you using ..on the 1k hold tap tempo ..while recording then use corresponding fkey(ex f1 1/8 ---f3 1/16-----f5 1/32) then back and forth to get desired effect should work

usin tha 1k (os 2.1) Yeah I aint perfected it yet. I was just curious how it was done-or how others get that effect. Thanx for all the replies..Stay Up.G :)

just a 1/16 and 1/32 pattern, no triplets involved

if this was your scale divided into 1/32 this is how 1 Bar would look

1____________|2___________|3____________|4___________||END

Unless you got quick fingers id just use the note repeat buton and switch between 1/16 and 1/32 till you get it right

anythin else just give me a shout

luls! I had to create an account for this post bc of the replies you got back. I dont use any Akai MPC's but there has to be a way to do this without trying to dial your fingers in and doing it manually lol!!!!! my suggestion would be to youtube your model and chopping drums.... I am sorry to say but the responses you received are all from folks that produce and have had their skill sets dialed in during the pete rock, cl era where there was not very much heavy drum production. I hope that you get your drums chopping and adding filters to the sound of the chopped snares and highs to make it sound super duper wuper cool dude. I am terribly sorry you received such answers that you did but there is definitely a way to chop through the interface rather than manually doing it. Unreal, just keep manually doing it and you will get better... LOL! naaah. Even on my keyboard, through interface settings on my workstation I can assign every single one of my keys to be a snare and either make the snare the same sounding octet across every key or to follow the octet and you are telling me there is no way through the interface to add notes basically of that of snare sounds or hi's and put them next to each other through the interface on an Akai? Yeah right... puhahahaha!... Just keep manually doing it and you will get better. wtf? #bad

It sounds like you kept saying the same thing over and over again, but did not even sort of give on answer and you don't even use an mpc so why you even chiming in?

to the OP many people gave you the right answer using the note repeat button while holding your high hat could give you the product that you want or if you can use the grid edit to enter them in manually step at a time, I don't know what mpc your on but the newer ones can give you all the high hat rolls you want..
