Congrats! I am trying to do the same, how did you make the change? Any advice for me? I have some good mics and a full mixing board with some XLR connections, I was going to grab this thing also and start recording again. I am a bit overwhelmed though and how to setup my stuff and how to get it all working together

@solomon7478 2 жыл бұрын
For those of you encountering the issue where your pads are not playing the same chord notes in MPC Beats, try this: Along the bottom bar in MPC Beats, press the 'MIDI Learn' button on the right-hand side which should pop out a new panel. Within that panel, on the Global tab press 'Enable' for the MPK mini 3. This worked for me after wracking my brain for hours!

Made a couple of beats out of this video and i appreciate you for the knowledge shared. In fact i am pretty sastisfied i made them thanks to you but now that i have the beats i have enough material to make a song but i dont know how to separate the tracks to turn them into sequence and make a final arrangement. It would be very nice of you if you could share a video showing how to make a simple song arrangement. Thanks for the videos. Always coming here to learn from you.

If your Drum Pads doesn't play the chords and you might not know yet: Go to the upper left and click: Edit. Go to preferences and choose Midi/Sync. When you have the Mpk Mini 3 then check if CONTROL is also chosen. It should be highlighted in white. Press OK on the lower right side. Should be working now.
