Another cool feature that might get overlooked. In the software version, you can edit and create your own effect envelopes using the grid editor. Then you can save them and import them into the standalone plugin. Pretty amazing plugin! I’m lovin it

Oh nice. That’s a good call

I can feel that you really enjoy what you're doing. Great video!

I love that you seem like a genuinely nice guy, having a great time. Can't beat that sir, thank you!! Also thank u for clearing up my confusion about flex beat

So glad you done this!

That's a great set up with the desk and having the pull out drawer for the record player. Thanks for all your videos. I really need to spend much more time with my MPC Live 2 to get better at beat making.

I like ur vid cuz ur really enthusiasm about ur stuff . Pleasure to hear, pleasure to watch.

Nice video and dope beat man!💪

Flex beat is SO DOPE. It’s really helpful for me cause I am learning how to do more deep house and it really helps with creating interesting variations I don’t have the skill set to make myself yet.

Malo the truth!

I just want to listen to the record you sampled! Thanks for the videos!

Hi Melo. Thanks for the time you spend making such cool videos! But actually we all have a question that concerns us all. How the hell do you make such awesome sample packs? 😁 We need a "How to make a sample pack in Melo style"! Greetings from Switzerland!

Yo! You just open Pandora's Box. Flex Beat is dope. Can't wait to use it.

Nice!

The 1176 tells all and more as we expected - the amplification and the compensating. So many years I was in a trouble.

Dope video as always Malo….where can I get the sample flip hat from?

One thing I like to do is put Flex Beat on the kicks or snares or hi hats individually.

Interesting. I’ve used the Flex FX where you slide your finger around the screen before but not this insert. I will give it a go

@shifteleven

I think that’s the XY effect. This is slightly different

Great video as always! Can you ‘burn’ a flex performance into your loop or is it strictly for live performance?

Thanks for this little overview of Flexbeat. Seems interesting. I've made upgrade with new FX, seems to be real fun too. Take Care. And I'v got a little question, when you find a cool effect in flex beat on one of your track, can we record it ? or is it only for live performance. Thanks for your answer, if you've got a little time to write it. unless you'll talk about it in a next vid. :^)

Malo what sample is that? I love it

You can connect a midi controller like the midi fighter twister or mpd218(pad controller) and have flex beat send though those pads on the controller as each fx instead on the screen...someone in my Facebook group discovered this...

@lseven79

Go to CHANNEL MIXER, choose submix 1 and place the Flex beat in Insert 1. Route the Drum Program output to submix 1. Connect your midi controller and go to MIDI CONTROL / MIDI LEARN. Choose SOurce/ Submix 1 and then Target / Pad Hold 1-16. The mapping is not global. It will only be saved in the project

@lseven79

8 ай бұрын

To save the mapping you can save as template on an empty project...so you don't have to do them over everytime

Where can I find that hat/tshirt?

Did you find out if you can use the pads to trigger the effects? And how do you record the performance? Thanks.

Thanks for the video Malo! What's the furniture you show on 0:53 ?

amzn.to/3u1X8KF this is a really cool side desk that I am using check it in the link i just sent you.

So I have a question, would a combo of flex beat and flavour pro be very similar sounding too the sp404? I'm kinda new to the MPC and want that mangled sound - I just have enough learning as is with the MPC :D although in future I will surely get a sp404 as well

How can I get this to work on my MPC Touch?

What’s the news on the course your putting together?

Malo, engaging video as always! Quick question, I have the Key 61 and have been thinking about an MPC One or Live 2 for a more portable option. I’m leaning towards the One because the additional buttons seem like they make the workflow much quicker. You mentioned this in one of your other videos yet you still seem to primarily use the Live 2. Any reason for this?

@malobeats

8 ай бұрын

Grate question, if you already have a Keys 61 and you want to be completely portable I would lean towards the MPC LIVE 2 due to the battery which makes it 100% portable without having to be plugged into the outlet. Battery is really good and also been able to have the flexibility with the six outputs makes me choose the LIVE over the ONE any day. Now, if you don’t mind being plugged into an outlet and don’t need the extra outputs, I would recommend the ONE+ since it is a lot cheaper and the extra buttons are a plus but don’t think they ate a deal breaker not having them

I just bought it and don’t see how to get it onto my standalone. Is the standalone version a separate purchase?! It’s not showing up in my inmusic account. Ugh

How do I download it Stan along

That plug in looks ridiculous

You got a video on the best way to take the bass out of a sample , without making the sample sound crappy ?

OK.....is flex beat "player" a lite version or is it a full version on mpc? i hope it isn't the full version . cause if it is then i just wasted my money on buying it from the website

👍🏾

Can the MPC stretch point in the sample like Ableton? If not I’m gonna stick to Ableton 🤷🏾‍♂️

yes, Ableton is miles ahead of the MPC when it comes to warping and stretching 🫡 Ableton is the way to go

Really need help with this

Not going to lie I prefer when artist create the flips this is ok and all but it’s like another ai doing it for you. I remember when I heard the first fake scratch on a keyboard it was embarrassing to use lol coming from a (turntablist) but I get it. Myself I try to stay clear of ai or things that do the “style” things for you. Not a hater I just am sitting back watching all the stuff in arts just being done for people in the push of a button an wonder when will we literally have nothing humanized and creative left. Again not hating it’s a cool tool but I’d prefer to create the parts myself

Thank you for sharing this insightful input. I’m all for it and glad you shared this 🫡🤜🏽🤛🏽

dunno. these type of effects always sound useless to me. yeah, sometimes but rarely sometimes you can get something out of it, but usually is just bleh. maybe if applied only to drums and not the entire track, yeah maybe. dunno. i always feel it needs additional hands on editing, like being really precise when and how to apply it… dunno, maybe its just me.

Idk wth they didn't release this straight to standalone to begin with. Its not very practical for desktop. Idk about Air and the way the approach business is a bit outlandish. 🤷 I have to buy it twice if I want on pc and standalone?! Come on!

Good news, Jesus Christ died for our sins and payed a sin debt that we can never pay ourselves. Accept the free gift of salvation and ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and save you.
