AIR Flavor Pro Overview | Akai Professional

[@theredfaceofficial]

Sickkk 🔥 I would love to see an updated enhanced Vintage Mode with extra parameters to really push the MPC 60, MPC 3000, SP1200 modes beyond the original EQ curve that was modeled. Like being able to control the Sample rate, perhaps a slider to push the color of each model even further, maybe model two different MPC 60’s, two different MPC 3000’s, and two different SP 1200’s so we have more choice. Please include the ASR 10 flavor, would love that sound on my MPC.

[@theuntouchables808]

Great plugin ... Deff on to get . Still feel like the MPC Line is missing a proper EQ (That gives you a Real Time representation of your frequency spectrum )

[@biggwillbeats4384]

Parametric EQ‼️

[@theuntouchables808]

@@biggwillbeats4384 I know it's decent but not very precise . you can't take out a resonating frequency without taking a hole chunk out the sound ...

[@brown3460]

So true. That’s why I still mix in studio one.

[@Drrolfski]

If Akai must go the paid plugins way, then at least make sure that third-party plugins are also allowed on stand-alone devices by making dev tools for the MPC platform publically available. I don't mind paying for plugins but then at least I want CHOICE on my MPC Live 2. If Reason can do it (stable, resource-light third-party plugins) then Akai can do it as well. I would actually go as far as claiming that third-party standalone plugins are key for the future of the MPC platform.

[@blen2r]

As a developer, I would love to build software for the standalone MPC! Even if I have to give Akai a cut, that'd be cool

I always wondered why we never got that 2000xl preset or the whole mpc line up to 4000 in presets. But I’m liking this plugin.

[@shiftedfocusmusic]

This is awesome!! But I would like if you guys could nail that 12bit aliasing from the SP1200. So when you pitch down a sample it will add that artifacts like the 1200 does.

[@ortistmusic]

For my personal use, Akai software is becoming close to be perfect but there is still ome very crucial thing that I still really need / miss: being able to automate submixes. With effets like the Air Flavor Pro, this is an absolute must. Come on Akai, please make it happen! (and maybe being able to add more than 4 effects for each program or submixes, let's say 6) Thank you Santa!

[@ChopperDave42]

You can automate submix effects chains, there is a little icon above the track in Matrix view to turn automation recording on, this is off by default. Then you can record automation into clips on the Master clip view.

[@ortistmusic]

@@ChopperDave42 I'm not sure what you're referring as Matrix view or Master clip view, but if you're referring to the little toggle that is by default green with the little R, and that you activate by lciking on it (and it becomes red with a little W), that only works for indivudal tracks (and not for submixes or master). If I misunderstand and if you're sure that this is possible I really would like to understand how (just did a quick google search that confirms what I'm saying but I would very gladly like to be wrong)

[@davidcache]

Ok so its not just me! this company refuses to help, going as far as blocking me from using the chat service on their site for troubleshooting, they've been ignoring me and avoiding helping me for a while... I feel like im being discriminated on, and they're bold about it, going as far as having an employee (alex) harass me on multiple occasions. Acting as if I was in the wrgon for asking for them to troubleshoot their own software. I have receipts and eventually, i am going to take them to task for their unjust behavior.

[@EnochLight]

Been waiting for this for a LOOOOOONG time - nice!!! Instant buy. Having essentially XLN Audio's RC-20 Retro Color on my Force is exactly what the doctor ordered! Nice work Akai/Air!

[@deadnameisdead]

RC-20 for the MPC platfrom. I find the move with the Plugins not bad as i though it would, also its better priced in my opinion!

[@vaiman7777]

Exactly what I thought, loving we have RC-20 style on these!

[@dja.selekta]

Akai this is absolutely awesome, definitely worth the money… If at all possible, can we have a loudness meter on a limiter for the LUFS, and maybe a multiband compressor like OTT… Which allows for upward expansion.. Fingers crossed so hard they’re cramping up 😂 Oh, one more thing, can we have the Waveshaper, Hard/Softclipper, Ringmod and pad effects as plugins. The Waveshaper in particular would really help, Oxford inflator is just a wave shaper, but it works like magic.

[@ThaRebeliouZ]

Nice plugins but Akai better give us more than 4 inserts per channel strips. FL Studio has 10, that way we can really do some complex chains if we want.

[@inthefade]

Run your track to a submix, and also use the sends.

[@ThaRebeliouZ]

@@inthefade Yeah I've been doing that but still limited with master inserts. There should just be more flexibility for doing it all in box, idk why Akai caps their stuff to 4s.

@@coldskoolbeatz The hardware limitations should not limit their PC Software capabilities. Serato Studio 2.0 already has VST3 support and pretty much unlimited FX inserts for Pads, Tracks, Master Channel etc. MPC Ren, MPC Touch, MPC Studio 2 should not be held back because of standalone hardware's limitations

P.S.-is there a reason there is no phone support? Oh…because there is nobody there.

[@matthewgaines10]

Akai support is rubbish. No matter how much the hardware and software do, for some things, they can't get things straight. Every new update comes with brand bugs that they are certain to ignore. The license deactivating after couple weeks is problematic. Then there are those who have problems activating in the first place. Pad perform issues. MIDI note off bug. And all the other bugs. They don't test these things out very well, nor do can they add a new feature without breaking something else.
