Nice work there. I take that you used a combo of features such as the synth & on board efx.

Nope no synths.no computer software. no keyboard, just raw samples in the box you just gotta know where an when to hit them. i been on the mpc's from since the 3000 came out so it kinda comes natural.

i dont beleive in loops or sampling piece of a song an making a beat i make stuff from scratch (just the click)

thats why they call me MPC Professional

Cool, then you are a rare breed around here. So you understand key sigs & progressions and all that I assume. I too like to construct my compos from stratch as well, note for note. However, I limit myself from sampling at all if I can help it. Usually it's 0% samples most of the time for me.

It gives you a sense of originality, you being you and not copying someone elses work. Anyhow, keep at it my friend, and keep working your magic.

Yeah, the song is pretty nice.... im sure anyone can make something nice if they work at a certain pace. Its funny to me cause i been using the 3000(all last week) since the 90's, and I can fly thru and make a nice track in no time. But the MPC 5000 still locks up on me when in hitting UNDO and trying to re-record. I personally know that it doesnt hold up at our pace when im working or others i know that have even tried to put in work on it.

but anyway, nice song

But the MPC 5000 still locks up on me when in hitting UNDO and trying to re-record

That s really weird man, i never had any freeze when using the undo & record button & trust me i use that a lot when jamming on the 5000

Can u give a step by step on how you get this freeze? i ll try to reproduce it..

...it's not the machine its the user so stop complaining an get to work

Of course man it s the user ....There s no pb with the 5000

i dont beleive in loops or sampling piece of a song an making a beat i make stuff from scratch (just the click)

Amen

Nah, bro.... how is it the user on one machine when we got 4 MPC's around and all of em functioning properly, except the 5000(with the UNDO situation).

I reproduce it everytime i get to work on that machine heavily. You just make a sequence, undo, try it again about 3 or 4 times, and then when you hit record and play and start playing, it will just sit there in the middle of recording a sequence with a just the play and record buttons lit up, but you can still press the pads and get sounds.

I tried to reproduce it once again yesterday on my 5000 & didn t managed to

Could you give me an EXACT step by step on how to reproduce it ?

Here is how i proceed :

I created a sequence using record play, undid it, record play again, undid it : repeated the step more than 10 times

No bug here .....didn t managed to get it freeze
