you could be the missing link between me and my dad in regards to music.... frickin' awesome

[@purppslurp8296]

never do that again

[@UncleTeddy314]

you were right...

[@Mitcellie]

Hey man sweet vid, so you manually placed all the samples yourself? Also i was just wondering about the quality of the pads, and if theyre accordingly responsive to the touch

[@Archison]

You're awesome man!!!!

[@tomicalaguas5815]

Are you able to walk me through this, I just acquired this AKAI MPD18, and I dont know how to configure settings, hooking up to my mac computer, it seems that nothing is happening, no sound yet, maybe I really dont know he connections to my mac, well it says on the manual, with a use of USB that is the only connection.. i need to config or to set the pads to a sound? Idk, please help

[@Jonsskillfulmove]

this thing is solid for such a low price

[@guido1580]

it still works on win 10?

[@violian5]

They should seriously hire you to be their brand ambassador.

[@Dochotshot]

Hey I've got a question Would you suggest that the MPD18 is a good way to start creating beats? Do you think a beginner would be able to get into beats with this? Thanks

[@alexkalero5058]

Hey! I'm the guy in the video. Yes! It's good for a starter budget! Cheap and built like a tank. I would like to see the sensitivity improved, though.

[@BattleAudioRecords]

true that, i also have one, sensitivity sucks, you need to hit it with a hammer tho lol

[@rubberduky1829]

OUT-FUCKING-STANDING. I just ordered the new Akai MPD 218 that just came out a few weeks ago. Had to get it through Sweetwater music online because guitar centers arent' even carrying them yet.

[@savannahporter7259]

how did you add the music

[@awesomecowboy]

This is awesome, well done! Any thoughts on how I could use the AKAI with Cubase to do this kind of sampling?

[@awesomecowboy]

+havesword willtravel thanks for your reply. I have a very early version of Cubase without groove agent 1. I found a plug-in that will allow me to designate the pads but I'm still having trouble learning to splice music into useable portions

[@awesomecowboy]

The creative aspect I have down. Got lots of ideas. It's the technical aspect of splicing a song or sound piece. Can it be done in Cubase? I know how to import a sound file into Cubase, but how would I go about cutting it and saving those individual pieces to wav files without groove agent 1? Not sure what tools of Cubase I should use to do this in an efficient way

[@zedster911]

Awesome!

[@SuperZGold]

Soooo GOOOD!!!!

[@vaughnwalker1840]

Nice David Bowe sample.

[@razmaz488]

Класс, круто! 👍💪🏆

[@UncleTeddy314]

that was nice

[@canismajorbeats]

huh

[@Thefisk101Gaming]

what do you use to make that? i also have one of these mpd18 :D

[@alexkalero5058]

Yes, you can chp the song and sample it in different DAW or vsts. I suggest you try out Ableton Live, there's plenty tutorials in youtube that will get you started!

[@Thefisk101Gaming]

Kalero Metall Rarot Thanks :)

[@Thefisk101Gaming]

bigboyvit mbiko I've used FL Studio but when i tried to use it, i realize it was not so good to my mpd. But FL Studio is the master :)

[@three36ixx]

PHAT BEAT!!!!

[@alexkalero5058]

Thanks!

[@EduTerrataca]

ahahahahahaha great faces, awesome performance

[@Rachelnymetal]

how do you get the sounds on each pad ?

[@alexkalero5058]

Hey! I'm the guy playing there. Just chop any song and sample the clips with Ableton Live or Battery or whatever you use as DAW / VSt drums ^^

[@Rachelnymetal]

cool

[@rubberduky1829]

Rachel Hilgert To further expand on his answer. In the MPC essentials software or on the hardware you can drag and drop any sounds to any pads, then go into the chop and edit functions and alter the start and end points or you can isolate any portion of a sample and have only that part playable. Then you just arrange your samples where you want them to go as far as what order on the pads.

[@Rachelnymetal]

wow. thanks

[@rubberduky1829]

cool beans. I also would say check out the new AKAI MPD series of pad controllers. I just bought the new MPD 218 which has way more functions that the original one in this video. I got it off of Sweetwater Music online for only 100.00 dollars.

[@joeyportnoy24]

which software/plugin do you use to split the sample for the different midi notes?

[@alexkalero5058]

Ableton Live!

[@Rom-ju5tf]

They could use this in guantanamo

[@Rkk42018]

hahahahahahahahahahahaa

[@zentura88]
