    I print and bind the manual for any hardware I buy. Whilst undoubtedly I can discover a lot of the functionality just from experience, there’s usually some stuff that you discover from the manual that just isn’t the sort of thing you find out by chance 😊

    Never tried the MPC stuff though (beyond a day with the Force before it had disk streaming), so can’t give any specific recommendations…

      My first evening with MPC has been promising. I’ve been able to create a nice loop and get to know the workflow. Still unsure about finishing entire tracks but I think that’ll just be a matter of practice.

      I was worried that I had to get into the whole sample chopping thing but even with just the built in synths I think I’ll be able to build something awesome.

      Resampling is easy, so building sfx using the synths and sample layers has been a breeze.

      I don’t get the point of separating programs from tracks yet but maybe I’ll figure it out. So far I’ve just been manually mapping them one to one.
