WUSSUP guys...a couple days ago i was in LA ..where i dont live.
I met a few shady characters who i thought were down with makin beats...but instead they hijacked my car with me in it, beat my ass up, took my cell phone, some $, and my mpc1000 with my computer speakers i had in my trunk. I am not that disappointed because I thought i was gonna get shot or car jacked but they were pusses and not car theives or killers. long story short I dont have an mpc anymore...i was really getting the hang of it cause i had it for a couple months...but before all this happened i found out about different softwares. I got a registered copy of fruityloops, for vsts I got Native Instruments Pro53, and Mercury..and I also dled a working copy of KONTACT. after opening KONTACT I realized that its a sampler and im glad i didnt delete it becuase without my mpc its now very handy...but I dont understand how to loop hihats,etc on 8th or 16ths...etc If anyone can sympothize with me and knows how to do this with KONTACT please help me out...i would really appreciate it. THANKS

Did you meet these characters on the MPC Forum? I hope not, I'd like to think we have a better class of musician than that here. Either way, we're with you on this... :shock:

I've wondered about collaborating here in Dublin: I don't have much stuff at home, but I'm worried that if I invite anyone in I'll come back a week later to find the place cleaned out. The junkies here will take anything and try to sell it, they don't want to know what it is and what it can do, it's all about the next fix.

BY KONTAKT I WAS REFERING TO THE SOFTWARE...ITS REALLY COOL HOW U CAN CONNECT A CHEAP MIDI KEYBOARD...WHICH I HAD LAYIN AROUND AND DO ALMOST EVERYTHING U CAN DO ON SOME HIGH END EQUIPMENT ON THESE NEW SOFTWARES....LIKE I SAID NOW THAT MY MPC IS STOLEN I AM USING KONTAKT ...FOR THOSE OF U WHO HAVENT USED IT ..ITS A COMPUTER BASED SAMPLER, IM RUNNING FRUITY LOOPS WITH PRO 53 AND KONTAKT AS MY VIRUTUAL INSTRUMENTS INSIDE OF FRUITY LOOPS (BOTH PRO53 AND KONTAKT ARE MADE BY NATIVE INSTRUMENTS) PRO 53 IS A KEYBOARD SYNTHESISER WHICH HAS A GRIP OF TIGHT NEW AGE SOUNDS. IN FRUITY LOOPS IT HAS A SEQUENCER LIKE THE MPC BUT NOW I GOTTA LEARN HOW TO USE FRUITY LOOPS TO MAKE PATTERNS AND HOW TO LOOP HI HATS ON 8TH , 6TH, ETC USING KONTAKT AS MY SAMPLER...IF ANYONE CAN HELP ON THE LOOPIN ON 8TH, 16TH, ETC USING KONTAKT ID APPRECIATE IT..IF NOT ILL FIGURE IT OUT SOON ENUFF...SORRY 4 TYPIN IN CAPS I DIDNT THINK I WAS GONNA TALK THIS MUCH...PEACE

I live in california but I never have lived in La ..just visiting every week for years now...i didnt realize how shady people are and that u cant trust anyone..u gotta do everything ur damn self or ull get shot in the back

ya ..now that I aint got a mpc...im trying to familiarize myself with some software and Ive alot of nice ones...mostly native instruments.

FOR THOSE OF U THAT WANT TO TRY NEW THINGS ...GO TO YAHOO, SEARCH FOR SOULSEEK WHICH IS A NEW FILESHARING PROGRAM.
CLICK THE SEARCH TAB ON TOP AND SEARCH FOR SOFTWARES LIKE FL STUDIO 4, AND NATIVE INSTRUMENTS...DOWNLOAD ALL THE NATIVE INSTRUMENTS PRODUCTS U CAN. SOME FILES ARE RAR'S SO U WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD WINRAR TO UNRAR THEM (SAME SHIIZ, AS WINZIP U KNO) ...VERY NICE INDEED...FOR THOSE OF U WHO ONLY HAVE A CHEAP MIDI KEYBOARD, SOME SPEAKERS, AND FAIR COMPUTER LIKE ME NOW THAT MY MPC IS STOLEN. BATTERY IS ALSO A PROGRAM THAT IS LIKE DRUM MACHINES BUT IN THE MANUAL IT STATES IT CAN DO WAAAY MORE THAN ANY DRUM MACHINE OUT THERE...WELL I GUESS ITS TRUE WHAT THEY SAY EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON....I WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPLORED THE WORLD OF COMPUTER MUSIC IF THIS SHIT WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME...NOT THAT I ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE ..BUT LIFE GOES ON..AND I AM DEFINETLY BETTER EQUIPED WITH FL STUDIO 4, BATTERY, KONTAKT, PRO53, AND FM7 THAN I WAS WITH JUST AN MPC....MAN ARENT COMPUTERS JUST GREAT

And you wonder why you had your MPC stolen when you are so willing to steal the work of NI and others. Reap as you Sow fool.
