Thinking of getting a MPC 2000.. I need help..

TheAttriks · 20th September 2007, 02:18 AM

I have been using REASON to make a lot of Hip Hop beats and now I want to incorperate what I have been doing at home onstage with my band.. Can I dump my REASON samples onto the MPC 2000 and bust that shit live? What do I need to know? I've never used hardware, but I'm good with instruments and most electronics.. What is the process for doing what I want to do?

Oh, can I use the Pads of the MPC2000 as a MIDI controler inside REASON?

HELP!

yes you can use both of them together. i dont quite understand what you are trying to achieve however

yep...solo each sound in reason that you want to record and record it into your mpc. trim the samples...sequence them up with the mpc's internal sequencer and your ready to go. you'll dig the sound as it will most likely make your drums/sounds have punchiness. the mpc 1000 is nice because you can connect it to your computer which is great for backing up and/or dragging audio files directly into the mpc...although i recommend recroding each sound analog just to get a little extra dirt on them.

he could also just slave reason to his mpc and trigger sequences on his mpc which i think would be more ideal than sampling everything to his mpc

I tried using a midi pad kontrol from korg, my laptop, and REASON live but its a BITCH moving the mouse around when its live.. REASON is a great production tool, but sux ass live..

My goal is to play the breaks I make LIVE in the most organic way possible..

when reason is slaved to the mpc it works like any rack. a pad kontrol is not a mpc. i could understand reason being a pain to use live
