my jjos2 video series on youtube

been very busy lately, between school, work, and music. after a bad sickness, a difficult recovery and a bunch of idiotic forum drama, i've decided to largely remove myself from the mpc forums. however, i don't so much consider this an end to my presence here, but rather "phase two" of my operations.

phase two basically means this: spend more time on the mpc, less time answering questions and making small talk. i'll spend more time testing, and posts i do make on the forum will be like this one - w/ youtube links and/or messages from jj.

for starters, here are two lofi youtube videos i created. the first is regarding chopping on jj os, and the 2nd is about simult pads and drum programs, with a brief introduction to adsr use in drum programs. they were shot using a document camera (called an ELMO) connected to a LCD projector which projected onto a wall. i positioned a camera so that it captured this projection on the wall. i then edited in final cut, which i'm not very good at (and i find the program to be miserable, unintuitive and silly). i'll probably be using vegas in the future.

in my next video i hope to get a little more hifi. i'll run the document camera output directly into a DV box which will be captured by vegas on my laptop, and i'll edit it there. i'll have more text. maybe i'll have multiple shots, one of a closeup on the screen (document cam) and the other more of a broad shot of me actually using the mpc--more personable.

i'm going to be doing more videos tomorrow and will probably upload them by 8 o clock or so. i'm pretty sure that i'll be testing pad pattern in an early version of jj os 0.90 in the next couple of days. if i get a copy tonight, one of the videos i do tomorrow will definitely be an intro to Pad Pattern.

next three videos:

part i: a use of multisampled INST programs:

part ii: building multisampled INST programs:

video iii: creating fake tails using altloop + adsr

what else would you like to see?
os2 specific, please, but remember that most features cross over so 90% of the os2 vids will be applicable.

i'll check back here tomorrow

**** yeah finally. thanks very much Nym this is very much appreciated
more more more on the basics, your voice was clear and that quality was just fine, maybe in the future vids narrate each button press more for the non-Jedi nights on the forum. and thanks for passing these blessings to us.

good stuff just peeped them...going alil fast though

Nice video on the choppin', it seems pretty efficient on drum breaks and it's better than having to press right arrow then left arrow eternally to come back to the beginning of the sample.

What do you think about NDC in OS2? I think the way sound is played in trim mode is a drawback. Besides it's still limited to 16 samples.

many thanks for your efforts nym. Have definitely learned from your techniques to do with the different velocities, so much more space can now be saved by triggering the different layers with velocity. I actually bought a mpd16 and hooked it up midi in order to have more room for stuff, like mpc on bank A and mpd on bank B, without having to switch to bank b all the time, also the mpd pads are much nicer than the original 1000 pads. But heaps more character is brought about in my drums with this velocity technique, rather than having to overdub heaps of times in order to get the desired effect.
One thing i would love to see is a vid on creating instrument programs and multisampling.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

oh by the way, whats with your mpc's toggle wheel, looks like some cool hybrid style mp?

Nym, glad you are feeling better.

yeah, and did you paint your mpc or is that just beat up that bad?

Nym is there any difference between the simult function in os1 and os2 ?

NDC is one of the coolest features that i haven't been using much yet in os2. 90% of the time i prefer regular chopping, but in the case when i do want to NDC it, i rarely use more than 2 ndcs. that will be the topic of a very short future video, MAYBE today.

Rendr: i'll be making a multisampling and INST program building video today.

my data wheel is a version of Grublet's data wheel fix, it's a old radio tuner knob. in 2006 i sanded all the paint off my mpc, leaving it bare metal, and then i selectively spraypainted it black by taping off certain areas. i then peeled off the paint and gave it a very light "dotting" coat, and then gently re-sanded certain spots w/ very coarse, scratch sandpaper. then i clearcoated it. over the years, the metal has oxidized under the clearcoat, which has partially rubbed off, so now i have black, silver and rust. my mpc looks like the end of the world.

thanks, prime, i appreciate that.

when you have the time i'd like to see some pictures of this! what i could see in the video looked pretty cool.

This is my first time seeing the JJos in action. Sh!t looks dope as funk. This sh!t looks TOTALLY different then the os on my 2kxl. LOL I would be lost if I ever picked up a 1k with this OS.

Dang NYM I thought you dissed my azz. Glad you showing how to do the INST Programs, that is essential for me. I can sell and my modules/keyboards after I make INST Programs off of all the patches off of my Synths/Keyboards. Appreciate man, the MPC is gone be the next Neko! I know its a stretch but, it is close!

tomorrow i've got a video shoot at work, but before crew call i'm going to do pretty much just that. i found a Kurzweil K2000VP in one of the closets, unused, and as tempted as i am to just jack the whole keyboard, i figure instead i'll just sample every minor third and make multisamples out of them.

it's VERY important that we make these INST programs public though
maybe--just maybe--i can someday perhaps get FTP access to jj's site and upload the files there as extra incentive to install os2.

and jacpot, i'm a little disappointed that you didn't make fun of my voice, my hands, my throat clearing, or the amount of times i say "in this case." BUT i am glad to know you think the os looks cool. it's the most intuitive platform i've ever come across.
