AKAI MPC One: Creating music from everyday noises with sample keygroups

The keygroups (aka multisamples) are one of the reasons I bought the MPC one. Basically, you can assign samples to keys on your keyboard and also to velocity layers, and then apply subtractive synthesis (filters, lfo, envelopes) to them. In this video, I'm using this feature to create music from everyday noises. I just let the camera roll while doing things, so you are free to use the index below to skip the boring parts (i.e. everything). :-)

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)
