Hi all. Beginner here, and I'm hoping you guys may be able to help me understand the different ways I could potentially use an MPC X beyond simple stand-alone beat making.
I've been learning a lot about how to use the machine by itself, and it's a huge amount of fun. I'm starting to wonder how it might fit into a bigger picture, as a component in an ensemble of hardware/stuff.
I've seen videos where it is used alongside synths, etc for performance-like (real time) playing, both as a sequencer (still a bit beyond my abilities, still wrapping my head around MIDI) and as an instrument. Would be really helpful if anyone could simply explain how they use, or would use, something like an MPC X or Live. If even just a sentence or two, it would give me keywords and ideas to further google myself.
I know this is rather vague, sorry. :) I guess I'm just a bit overwhelmed and trying to figure out what I should really start learning next. lol
