  • Get a ripcord cable and battery pack. People loves to damage their gear for jamming about sparks...

  • I’m fine with the power cable and brick. Not going to chance it with $25 battery that may or may not work in the long run. I don’t make beats on the sofa anyhoo 🤪

    Ripcord doesn't have anything this powerful. Wish it did, doesn't work with Roland SE02 either. Anything 1A or less and you're good. Ripcord is great for lots of stuff.

    How much power needs the Mpc ONE? I suppose it's like more like a laptop maybe... it's someone looking inside to find a spot to power it? It should have some common boards with the live (?)

    3A, too much.

    Yeah that's huge!
    Well take some patience, probably some modders will tinker about it and discover a solution.
    At last it's just an embed computer, nothing special from energy needs (maybe the CV outputs but it should be something workable out there)

    I will make made a search to see whatand I find found...

    This maybe could work with just a plug and some resistance Something in my mind says it will require an extra circuit aside the power charger, which could be apart. So take this info as a grain of salt not as gospel truth (it outputs 4A? I'm not sure... but MPC one drains 3.74 or so... it's labeled at the connector)
    It's the cheapest and most portable solution.

    Then you have those with AC plugs and lots of extras... but a bit pricey of course...

  • Seems like it'll be fine to me. Polarity the same, voltage not higher than what's required and more amps.

    it's not important for the voltage to match?

    Ok, enough chatter about batteries. Time for some music composed using the MPC One to drive things on the iPad :)

    Yeah, ideally the voltage should be the same. But as long as its not over then it wont damage the voltage regulator on the board. I'm not a Ted tho, so better look it up.

    It could be possible to drain some with resistance in between but almost is not too much from 3,74 to 4A. That battery seems for electric skate so if it can move that motor, should power a pc.

    Maybe @kobamoto could you share it with your network to find if some modder could confirme something?

  • that's volts not amps
    quote google..
    Amperage. ... Your computer will use more power, in the form of higher amperage draw, when it's working hard than when it's not. (Voltage remains the same regardless.) Thus, as long as you replace your power supply with one capable of providing as much or more amps than the previous supply, you'll be fine.

    Yup I was talking about that... that's why I linked 19V 4Amps but for the question "is not identical to 3.74A" I put about extra resistance (to ditch the extra as warm) but I could be wrong. Those Ohm laws and electricity are fucking annoying... I need a Tesla Coil for my busking after corona outbreak... :lol:

  • my electronics knowledge is pretty basic. generally if it doesn't go pop when i plug it in, i'm happy!
    i've just passed thru the centre of my town. pretty much deserted. be a hard job for a busker.
    crazy, crazy times. > @TheDubbyLabby

  • I’m in Spain...

    Take care, stay fun (at home)!
    :heart:

  • Gathered some of my recent MPC ONE sequenced pieces here on the YouTubers:

  • echo where did you get your one from?

    Guitar Center when it first came out.

  • man it's hard to find them anywhere, you've been putting out all of this goodness and it's got me hankering for an One a little more than the poly tracker right now :)

    Awww...thanks man. Looks like Musicians Friend has them in stock in the US:

    thought musicians friend was guitar center one has them the other doesn't that's weird but thanks

    damn, stand corrected now guitar center has them too

  • I do like the form factor of the one! Hard to resist, but Ima stay with the live and the force.

  • yeah man, I've got a live already but the form factor of the one is just extremely inviting, but then I love running those outs on the live to my pedals

    Finally got around to setting this up for a total minimal setup with the iPad.

    Check it:

  • @echoopera Lovely setup. Really enjoy your tunes, very soothing. :)

    I saw that you once had an MC-707, has your MPC One replaced it in this compact setup?
    MPC is the better sequencer and sampler, Roland has better onboard sounds but those can be replaced with the better sounding AUv3s in AUM?

    There was a rumor about the MPC's getting Elektron style p-locks? Anyone know about this?

    Thanks for enjoying my humble tunes 👊🏼™️

    I was thinking about one but never pulled the trigger. I do also have an OctaTrack.

    The MPC it amazing with the iPad. Perfect power house pairing.

    I hope so. Doesn’t seem that hard to implement since the software already does automation to a high degree.

  • You do realize that p-locks Are essentially stepped automation. Which the MPC does. It has a step sequencer for automation too.

    But it doesn’t offer the probability function of %play like the Elektron, MC707 and OP-Z kits do.
