Mononome is my mate Great guy with some amazing finger drumming skills!I opened for him in 2 Live gigsā¦Also opened for another good friend tooā¦His skills are insane!
Couldnāt follow his hands!Warp speedā¦

Iāve watched Billa Qause with my own eyes playing drum & bass this way with only one handā¦Trust me he kicks arsesā¦
Hope the MPC Live weāve been sold doesnāt end up too good to be trueā¦
You said exactly what I heard from music shop salesman or read a lot on internet. People have a lot of difficulties to trust ā¦ They said it must be somethingā¦ itās too wonderful for be real. Weāll see
itās seems delayed for now as every company new products announcements when the request from possible customers is highā¦ and on that one I guess thereās huge pre-order.
Uhā¦whatās up folks? No more rumours in this group since 2 days.
At least all shops (over here in Germany) have adjusted the price for the X to 1899.- EUR. Although Iād love to have the X, I really start to consider buying the Live instead and spent the other 900.- EUR for an iPad and some apps like elastic drums instead
However, Iāll wait for the Frankfurt pro light & sound fair anyway and see whatās new. I am still hoping for Roland and a new MV. And then I would be even more confused what to buy
amazing
I was surprised by the lack of gossiping too, two whole days!
Reading the GAK sales blurb, it mentions configurable outputs and CV outs. So, whatās the deal, CV out on the Live for real?
"In regards to connectivity, there are a whole host of options on the back of the unit. There is a built in 2-in/2-out interface on this model, two audio inputs and 6 configurable 1/4 inch jack outputs.
New features include Standalone functionality, CV outputs, audio track recording, clip launching, MPC 2.0 Software and a whole load more."
i think no cv on live
Thatās just a lack of attention to detail by whoever put that as a description for the Live.
In this cut and paste world idiots donāt even read through what they copy or paste.
Itās a f^<{ing disgrace!
No CV on the Live, I canāt be bothered to check but GAK probably have a picture of the unitās rear panel on the very same page!
Iām not expecting there to be 1/8 inch CV outs on the rear, but if the outputs are configurable then I donāt see why this couldnāt be implemented. Iām starting to think itās a good possibility
Hey all-
Maybe someone with some MPC experience can help me understand if this is what Iām looking for, as this sounds as if itās structured the same way.
Ideally I want to perform completed tracks made elsewhere (would use a few audio stems) live with flexibility to extend sections, etc., all while sequencing a few synths. The song forms, sequences have some nuance, definitely not just 64 steps repeating. Iād want to roughly prearrange the song forms but having the options to repeat sections, loops a few bars or jump around is crucial. From what I understand the way in which you can arrange patterns on an MPC is a bit more flexible than what Iām currently using (octatrack). In addition to extending or looping sections on the fly Iām wanting some flexibility with transitions between songs, Iād assume theyād tie in together.
It seems as if itās very much capable of this. Can anyone share some insight on how it might work for the uses Iāve described? How are āsongsā treated within an MPC and regarding transitions? How it might, in other ways, give a more flexible live approach. Any obvious limitations? I want to be as flexible as I can performing this music, thatās what make a set āliveā imo. Iāve just had trouble finding a live method somewhere between working with building simple loops and DJing a finished track.
Thus far Iāve been managing on an octatrack, on which I still havenāt found an ideal approach. Itās a great piece for all that it does but I feel as if itās really not designed for what Iām trying to do. Iām basically wanting an octatrack with a way more in depth arranger, longer step length within patterns (for external sequences) and a better time stretch algorithm. Iāve been strongly considering ableton/push 2 but loathe the idea of taking a laptop on stage.
Beyond my primary needs this looks like an awesome set of features. I could see using this in lots of ways Iām not even considering. If itās capable of what Iām thinking itāll be a no brainer for me.
thanks.
If they managed to change the hardware config at the last minute to DC coupled outsputs, they could theoretically be used for CV. However, I very much doubt this given the fact that mass production of the live has undoubtedly started some time ago alreadyā¦
It does look like itās rather close to your needsā¦ If you pull the trigger, please let us know if there are details you like or not wrt your workflow !
When I said about the picture of the Liveās rear, I was lending weight to my comment that GAK were not paying attention to their description and just willy-nilly copied the Xās features.
I wasnāt saying that you failed to note the obvious, just want to clear that up yeah!
But as @tsutek pointed out, it is safe to assume that CV wonāt be a feature on the Live upon release or in the futureā¦
EDIT, Iād buy the Live in a flash if it indeed had CV outs! Imagine recording your noodles and spaghetti into that things audio tracks for further molestationā¦
All it would take is DC decouple mod to the outputs and enabling the CV track for the liveās OS. However, not sure how much voltage swing could be output from the liveās outs (battery power/power supply limitations?), might still be unoptimalā¦
Being able to switch an output to CV would be a killer feature indeed! Iād get by just fine with 4 CVs for sequencing and resampling the result.
CV noob hereā¦
Whats the benefit of cv over midi out?
No need for a midi-cv converter and frees up the midi ports.
Also you can use cv for anything rather than just notes, so filter freq etc, use one channels pitch cv to modulate another voice/modulator etc altogether.
Use gate to clock other sequencers, open vcas with env trig, all sorts.
