How do i create a entire track with the MPC 500 ?

By RivolverOcelot Fri Mar 02, 2007 7:44 am
Ok to create a entire track with the MPC 500 is it done in parts ? Meaning when i start this is what i do i select UNUSED track, then change the tap tempo , then hit track , then hit params .Once all that is done i hit play and record .Now this is all fine but it seems im just recording a little snippet . So do i have to follow these steps continuously and keep creating new tracks EX.. TR1,TR2,ETC.. ? then put them together or am i going about it all wrong . Dont get me wrong i read the manual that came with the MPC daily but the way the manual is set up i just dont understand it that well . Any help would be appreciated .. thanks .. PEACE

U seam to be on the right track.

after U have put toghter a few loops in sequences.

Enter song mode ( mode)button + Song

this is here where U chain togheter all your sequences into a song.

Example:

One seq ( IntrO)

the next seq ( Chorous/Hook)

and the next ( Verse 1)

the next ( Bridge) and so on and so on until U have a finished song...


Good luck!

Also, keep all instruments on their own tracks i.e track 1 chops, track 2 kick drum, track 3 snare, track 4 hi hats....etc. This will give you more control of your sequences when it comes to muting and editing. :D
