The MPC1000 is one of the best sampling/MIDI Sequencers for under $900. This DVD starts off with the back we teach you how to setup all your connection, we explain how to setup your mpc1000 and which cables, midi cable, 2 1/4" audio cables, USB and the power cable. Then we cover the front and teach you how the pads, buttons, knobs, and Q-link sliders work. This lesson will help you understand how the software works on the MPC1000 and the best way to get around. In our next lesson we start sampling, teaching you the best way to get your samples recorded, setting input levels, adjusting sample time, where to start a loop from, how to chop the sample up if you need to get parts of the sample and get the best way to edit them so they sound just right. Next it's time to place the samples in a program so we can trigger them from a pad, you'll how to set the parameters in the program and ways to stack sample to creat new sounds, then we edit the program allowing us to change volume, velocity, pitch, and other parameters, of our samples. Then we need to place our samples into a sequence, to start creating a song sequence, like a verse, intro, or a chorus, and edit the sequence parameters, the length, like 2 or 4 bars, 4/4 or 3/4 time signature, etc. Next we bring in our Keyboard player "Diggity Dave Patterson" to play keys, we record the midi data, midi notes like C4, middle C, and edit the parameters like velocity, duration etc, to show you how to record midi data into a sequence and then edit the data so when we play it back the keyboard parts sound just right.
