Learn to count beats / bars . It will help u immensely. I started with an Mpc 2000xl and a cheap yamaha keyboard . Bought a triton keyboard and moved to maschine. Software is the future less limitations than the older mpcs .:blessed:

Brehs someone quote me, i just be messing around with FL Studios making complete garbage but i got a cheap 200 dollar yamaha keyboard in my basement. It says midi in and out in the back, how do i go about hooking it up (if possible) to my computer and FL Studios so i can use it instead of the piano roll and Small computer keyboard.

I be lookin at fl studio tuts on youtube but be lost.

If i had skills, id want to create trap, ciara style r&b, and pop track (britney spears) for fun

Yeah you can get a USB to midi cord and then run a midi cable into that and plug into your midi out on the keyboard.

You can get a cheap audio interface like a mtrack which is usb.

Midi cable from your keyboard to the interface and your good.

Prices and best brands for MPCs? How is the learning curve on those?
