Another MPC1000 experiment, featuring sounds from the Korg MicroX.

This time the major improvement was:
a) recording all parts layer by layer straight onto the MPC
b) figured out a nice way to send all MIDI to Live and then route it back through the MPC without messing with cables
c) figured out a neat way to mix all the things in Live

Love this chill vibe. The mix sounds excellent!

Ohh this is nice. Are you sequencing the MicroX from the MPC1000? Great vibe with the track.

I really like your experimental results.

Yes, I basically start each track on the MPC which is hooked up to the MicroX, then I noodle and record some stuff and at some point I bounce all the MIDI into Ableton Live and finish the track in there. For example the intro part with the vibes in this track I arranged in Live later on, it's not something recorded on the MPC.

Thanks. Glad you like it! I should also mention that the track was mastered by a friend of mine who is eager to practice so I send him the weekly things and he makes them sound even better!

Lovely weather report vibes. The vibraphone sells it the most.
