this is not a dis, but if you spent as much time working with the mpc as you do asking questions about it, you will be all over it. its really not that complicated, but it does have a learning curve. you got to get in there and experiment to find your technique. everybody is going to have different techniques and everybody wants you to find yours. thats why you get the short answers. cats done put time into their boxes to learn these tactics. get in there and dig around, make some mistakes, make some sh!tty beats. you gotta start somewhere....

And be very careful most people only got 1 pair of hands and they don't grow back.
Edit: The same goes for your fingers...

You man, maybe this ain't the proper thread, but when I'm in the YODA menu, my force is so weak! Is there some way to hook it to my Qlinks so I can vary the power of the Dark Side when I play live?

Why, when lots of this has been explained before.

Why can't the search button be utilized? Intolerance, bah humbug.

Yes we all start somewhere, I asked no one for help cause I wanted to know for myself, trial and error, reading experimenting.

Correctomundo buddy....

Now here's the kicker, has megaman1 actually tried to chop some stuff already, this wasn't stated.

If so, was there a particular problem at any point while chopping that he had and needs us to help with, no question was asked.

Per the 2kxl manual and I'm sure the other mpc's have a trim section as well..


TRIM Mode............................................................................................ 98
Fine Adjustment of the Start Point ............................................ 99
Fine Adjustment of the End Point ............................................ 100

Has the manual crossed his hands yet, ya know to get the basics down and understood? Cause just asking for chopping tips is a wide request. Meaning what specific part, people won't want to go all out with an answer like that, cause it's something that can be learned on your own.
