today i wanna talk about bass lines and

basslines I've been lookin for

you know techniques on how to possibly do

basslines on MPC for those who don't know

and it's amazing what you don't find on youtube is like

YouTube has everything you know that they meant you type in this

a certain topic someone might have topic

but they're not executing right or it's not helping you so

I've decided let me be that person to do with I'm trying to do

which is to help somebody else I got to keep

a excuse my voice its a little horse i got a lil cold

something like that well anyway

What type of FILT messing up we're going use something called

a minor pentatonic scale

Alright and it sounds like this

I'm using that note that i sampled off my keyboard and you can

get a bass note from whatever you have maybe a a record

sample something like that a plugin or whatever and

so I sample the bass note

upright bass from a keyboard and

and what im gonna do is hit sixteen levels

that allows me to have note variation

okay so now you

I have 16 different notes

now I'm not gonna really talk about theory but anyway

its called a minor pentatonic scale and you can use this to make your bassline

And this is the formula pad 2 pad 4

pad seven pad nine pad

Eleven

Pad fourteen

Pad sixteen

So you could use any combination of these notes

and get you a nice bassline okay now I don't like how that bass sounds so I'm

gonna filter it

much better much better much better

okay so let's do that formula one more time

And this is what its gonna sound like with a beat

alright watch this simple

Simple bassline anybody could apply this to any tool that has 16 pads and you can

separate all those notes just making up a bass line here we go

You can even use the "Billie Jean" bassline with this

So yall get the idea

Just using these pads right here

I hope that helps peace
