Exercises with Tempo

Hi Andreas…

I am from Hyderabad, India. Finally I have got MPD218 from US after discussing with you 4 months ago and ordered for Xpress pads Complete Program for PC last week. I thank you once again for the exceptional efforts put in by you for creating these programs.

I managed to create the standard preset in Ableton and started playing the beginner exercises on MPD218. Am happy that am able to see some improvement.

The given exercises are getting played only twice. My request is to create loops for the exercises with multiple tempos which would really help to play along all the exercises at-least for beginner and intermediate levels.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Many thanks for your purchase. Also, thank you very much for your feedback on the audio examples. The reason why they are so short is that I wanted to use audio files for the examples, not midi files which simply don’t sound good. Keeping them short makes the eCourses load fast and keeps the download size reasonable. I have thought about looping those as well, but at the time of the creation of the eCourses there were now compatible audio players with acceptable, non-clicking, non-lagging looping functions available for this format. So I decided to go ahead with the one-time two-bar players / examples. Even if the above obstacles wouldn’t exist, replacing all 1,600 audio examples for the complete program would be a MAJOR task to accomplish. That’s why I honestly want to say that this is a feature that I’ll unlikely be able to implement in the near future, if at all.

Try to see it in a positive way… Even if you are a complete beginner in the universe of music, memorizing rhythmic patterns is a skill that is desirable and you train this skill with short one-time audio examples that you repeat in your head. It might sound like a bad excuse, but it isn’t. It’s something that will help you become more independent as a musician and it will help you train your ears. A few miles down the road it will be second nature for you.

Best regards,

Andreas
