Sound Design Question | Headhunterz - From Within Akai MPD24

[FreakshowDJ]

Yo Guys,

I have a question, and maybe someone can answer it. It's about the part of the track "From Within" from Headhunterz. On some point he grabs the MPD24 from Akai and makes a really cool sound with it. I'm not completely sure on how he does it, i guess he maps the LFO rate and gain to the sliders, but that ain't gonna give you the result.

Have you considered that perhaps the whole video clip is just him acting and that everything he does with his equipment in it has absolutely nothing to do with the actual production of the track?

[FreakshowDJ]

I know that, you can't produce as easy as it looks over there, but he does that sound with the mpd24 for real, yes i think he has to do it a couple of times over, has to be, but what i'm trying to say is, you can actuelly do that with a mpd24 only thing how and that's my question.

[VanillaFace]

In my opinion, and I may be wrong, he is only pressing buttons on the MPD24 because it looks cool for the video. It may be possible to make that sound with the controller, I'm not sure, but I reckon there would surely be much easier ways to do it.

the MPD24 is just a MIDI Controller if i remember correctly.....

Which means it can do pretty much anything if you're skilled at MIDI mapping.

i guess he just speeded the sample up no lfo actually and than played with the pads its possible im sure u can do that with NI Battery somehow
or he just pushed the "out" of the sample slowly to the "in" u propably know what i mean
and let the Akai Controll NI Battery u just need to set up everything

The MPD24 was attached to ableton live.
There you have this option to do such things like in the video.
But don't ask me how .

Just do a loop inside a vocal, make it shorter and play this loop with pads, ez pz.

i think it's just a timestretch hold, not an lfo

some timestretching fx have a trigger/hold option and you can hold it at any particular slice of the sound, fruity granulizer or dBlue stretcher can do something similar
