MPC Live II Retro - MPC Vocoder Cookup

Vocoder Lyrics:

Tonight I'll write some music, lets start off with the beat
I'll load some tasty samples, in the Akai MPC
Gonna go through my expansions, thats stored on my SD
Or my large sample collection, on my internal HD

I'll sequence all the data, so the song plays back for me
With some EQ and Compression, It's sounding pretty sweet
Let's adjust some final levels, and now the songs complete
Then Upload to Social Media, for the whole wide world to see

Love My MPC (Vocoder)

MPC Live II Retro - Memory Cortex

I found a sample (the first sample I bring in after the initial drums) on a very old hard disk and after listening to it I’ve had this tune buzzing around in my head for a few days and can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called or who it’s by.  All I remember was break dancing and windmilling to it when I was a kid.

I have put together the tune that’s in my head in the hope it might trigger one of you fine old skoolers who might remember it.

Apologies if it’s wrong in parts, I can’t quite remember all the details of the track.  I know it’s not Kraftwork Tour De France but was very similar.

MPC Live II Retro - Hypnotic Serenade

Just a simple idea that I may make in to a full track.

MPC Live II Retro - Shredding Jester (Synth Guitar Solo)

As much as I try to be Dawless and just use the MPC Live II  the synth guitar was recorded in to my MPC from an external VSTi plugin.

MPC Live II Retro - Funky Mashup

Thought I would do something a little different on this Christmas Eve, never done a mashup before.

Funky Mashup

I wrote this track a good many years ago when I first got my Korg Karma synth.

I loved the synth guitar sounds the Karma had for its time and wrote a few tracks using them.

This is very outdated sounding now but was a fun track to write and play so thought I would upload it.

MPC Live II Retro - Broken Chalice

This was just a concept idea, short but sweet.
