MPC One Synthwave Jam!

MPC One Synthwave Jam!
Today I decided to warm up my studio with a synthwave(ish) jam on the MPC One! To keep it super accessible, I decided to use stock sounds and plugin presets as well. I have to admit, this is the first time I've used the MPC One in a LONG time without having anything go wrong, and the whole experience was actually pretty fun! Enjoy the video :)

    I love that kit. Just made a Synthwave song myself with that kit, the Jura for bass, Hype for bells and Arturia Jupiter 8V for a pad. This is in the software of course

    This one jam demonstrates how the MPC One works better than a lot of in depth reviews. One sequence, 16 bars long, 4 tracks: Drums, Bass, Chords, Bells. A bit of mixing, tweaking the chord length on a piano roll. Fast and clean. Good job demoing what the MPC can do as a groovebox, but without going into sample chops and effects and external hardware synths, which the MPC does really well, too. It's a beast. I wonder, though, prior to recording the last 10min of the session, the actual jam, how long was the set up process - picking out the drum kit, synth presets, trying out what You were going to play and such.

    Thank you so very much! The setup process took maybe 5 minutes of just scrolling around some presets haha.

    Yeah I can picture this tune to an 80s style film sequence. It’s either a private detective car journey scene, or a go getting female lawyer scene. Gathering evidence montage. She takes no shit. She has shoulder pads.

    I'm a guitar player who mostly jams/loops in Ableton, but I'm looking into a standalone hardware solution. I watched quite a few MPC videos that I really struggled to understand, but this one makes it super easy to get the gist of the jamming workflow. Now, my only question is, can you seamlessly add a guitar to this jam? As in, plug in the guitar direct to the input (using either a pedalboard or some amp sim plugins on the MPC) set up an audio track, and record a sequence of predefined length (16-bars in this case) with MPC starting the recording at the beginning and stopping it at the end of the beat? If so, how many audio tracks can it realistically handle? I know I could probably use a looper with midi sync along with MPC, but I very much enjoy the workflow of recording audio loops of predefined length in Ableton, and I wonder if MPC can mimic that.
