Join me for another creative MPC X session as I expand on a song idea that started with a simple bass line on my son’s Casio SA-46. Using the Akai Mini D plugin, I recreated the bass sequence and layered it with lush bells and arpeggios from the JURA plugin. All of this was produced directly on the retro-inspired MPC X SE, with my Prophet 10 acting as a MIDI controller.
This session showcases the power of the MPC X and Akai’s incredible plugin suite, proving you don’t need external instruments to create a full-sounding track.
