<font class="post"1<b, 21<b, 21thanks for your sugggestion. And, for posterity's sake, those aren't MPCs, they're MPDs.<b, 21<b, 21OK Bye.<font class="small"1Quote:</font1<h, 21<b, 21<b, 21If you believe that's whats going on, I suggest that you have no idea what you're talking about. Watch any other of his videos. Dude's a virtuoso. <b, 21<b, 21He evens has vids where he explains how it works. <b, 21<b, 21<h, 21
<font class="post"1<b, 21<b, 21As far as I've seen, Ruck is the only dude that properly uses the Controller 1 to make music. Everyone else seems to use it as an extended pitch control.<font class="small"1Quote:</font1<h, 21<b, 21a midi keyboard and a turntable<b, 21<object width="425" height="344"1<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B9QVkr5Wh-U&hl=en&fs=1"1</param1<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1</param1<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"1</param1<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B9QVkr5Wh-U&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1</embed1</object1 <b, 21<b, 21<h, 21
<font class="post"1<b, 21<b, 21Yeah - I learned about this in a musicology class. That melody at the beginning is based off a pygmy song. The "original" is out there and when you listen to it, Hancock's incorporation of it is quite obvious.<b, 21<b, 21I'm not sure it was a "colonialist adaptation" originally or an actual field recording; I always thought it was the latter but I could be wrong.<font class="small"1Quote:</font1<h, 21<b, 21I read in an article that watermelon was Hancock's adaptation of a colonialist adaptation of an eponymous West African folk tune. Anyone know anything about that? <b, 21<b, 21<h, 21
<font class="post"1<b, 21<b, 21flag on the play, flagrant misuse of commas renders text illegible. Poster to reattempt previous diss, no penalty.<font class="small"1Quote:</font1<h, 21<b, 21<b, 21In that video, MPD's in all others, MPC's get familiar. <b, 21<b, 21<h, 21
<font class="post"1<b, 21<b, 21Got it... i was thinking of the earlier versions..<b, 21<b, 21I think I want one of those now!<font class="small"1Quote:</font1<h, 21<b, 21Those are MPD 24s. <b, 21<b, 21<h, 21
<font class="post"1<b, 21<b, 21Yeah, I'm serious and that's what it comes across as for me. Props to the dude for doing his thing, I just don't care for it at all. I like a more metered beat, with some finesse. I'm not into that style of wild drumming whether its with MP_s or real drums.<b, 21<b, 21*I just watched that video for the fourth time, I'm still not feeling it. I'm not hating, but I'm not into stuff that capitalizes on note repeat, and banging on the box.<font class="small"1Quote:</font1<h, 21<b, 21<b, 21<b, 21ASDKLFAJSD;LFKJASD;KLFJADL;SKFJADSF<b, 21<b, 21Are you for real? That's definitely not what dude is doing. Ayro is like the Qbert of the MPC shit. <b, 21<b, 21<h, 21
