Beginners guide to constructing a beat
Ok, here’s another gem from good ol’ YouTube. The focus of this one is to show beginners how to construct a beat using the MPC1000. I’d love to get my hands on one of those to mess with for a while, but I think I better keep saving!
Anyway, I know what your thinking, MPC1000, what does the MPC stand for? MIDI Production Center.
In case you don’t know what the MPC1000 is, it’s a 64-track sampler/sequencer. It comes with an old school 16 MB sample memory as standard, which can be expanded out to 128 MB. It’s capable of sample rates of 22 or 44.1 kHz, in stereo or mono. The MPC line of products from Akai are behind some of the greatest hip hop tracks recorded.
Here’s another clip featuring legendary producer Pete Rock doing his thing on the MPC2000XL, the MPC1000’s big brother. He makes it look so easy.
