Introduction
Thank you for purchasing ‘Beatmaking on the MPC1000’, I hope you gain a lot of
knowledge out of this book, and most importantly, have fun learning your new
sampler!
I wrote this book because I thought the manual that comes with the MPC1000 was
very poor and assumed a lot of previous studio knowledge. Personally, I did not have
this knowledge when I first bought my MPC, as it was the first piece of studio
equipment I’d ever bought – so basically it was a lot of late nights and hair pulling
for the next few months – I always wished a book like this was available at the time,
so I hope this book makes some people’s live a little less stressful!
The aim of this book was never to replace the manual, I just wanted to take the
most important functions of the MPC1000 and explain them in the simplest way
possible using step-by-step tutorials and audio examples to get the points over more
clearly – hence there will always be some elements of the MPC1000 that are not
covered in this book, but I feel I’ve covered all the important aspects that people will
need to know in order to create great beats with their machine.
I hope this book will answer all your questions, but if after reading this book you are
still struggling, you may want to post your questions on my MPC dedicated forums
found at
http://www.mpc-forums.com
These forums are the centre of MPC knowledge on the internet where you’ll find over
22,000 fellow MPC users who’ll try to give you a helping hand with your problem.
Hope you enjoy the book!
