You’ll learn how to convert a production project into a performance-ready finger drumming program, how to bounce and chop melodic samples and bass, use pad layers, quadrants, mute groups, simultaneous play, submix routing, and pad colors — all to make your fingers work with you, not against you. This is a practical, real-world MPC finger drumming workflow that helps you avoid common mistakes and build playable, expressive pad layouts that actually feel good to perform. 0:00 - Intro about finger drumming 00:32 - The difference between production and finger drumming 01:00 - Step 1: How to bounce and chop the samples 02:56 - Step 2: How to assign samples to one program (easy) 03:33 - One problem with the sounds and how to fix it in Mixer 05:18 - Problem: How to Assign More Melodic Samples and Fix 06:33 - Option 1 - for any MPCs 07:51 - Option 2: For New MPCs Live 3 and XL (Quadrants) 09:49 - MPCe Pads (Quadrants) for MORE samples - cool! 10:41 - How to Layer Bass: Option 1 12:17 - How to Layer Bass: Option 2 Quadrants 15:33 - How to add Samples to mute groups (and which samples) 16:13 - Pad color for better performance 17:02 - Finger drumming in separate projects or in the same? #beatmaking #mpcxl #mpclive3
