shout out to the rep, real informative. i wish all product reviews were like this

[@adamfreiholtz929]

I like the new mpc line, but it’s pretty much a dealbreaker to me that the different note repeat buttons are on the touch screen. Feels very sluggish. I also don’t really like the touch screen period. That’s one of the main reasons I downgraded to an mpc studio black. However the buttons on the MPC ONE looks really nice.

[@cadethatdude85]

great video... just what I was looking for how need it to be explained- I just bought an MPC ONE and cant wait to get my hands on it

[@hankronnie]

I needed this video ❤️ just bought the one a couple days ago.

[@400audio2]

Hell yeah me too bro hows it working out?

[@roberttaylor2916]

I brought one two weeks ago and just brought speakers for it and a sound card for it

[@thelantern9075]

The music these MPC reps make sure can talk a musician out of buying their products.

[@JGW-im3nf]

The wrong people are representing their products. These guys should be working for Roland or Elektron or something

[@thelantern9075]

J.G Wetworth Well, the main Elektron guy is a highly creative musician demonstrating very creative instruments, he shows a lot of the potential of the gear. I consider these new MPCs very creative instruments, but these Akai demo guys make these paint by number demos that almost makes you embarrassed to buy their gear. I’ve heard more interesting record skips than that stuff. Unbelievable really.

[@RickRijuanaPro]

Word! They need an originator of trap like ZayToven to demonstrate trap because that beat wasn't close to sounding like Atlanta at all.

[@jaemez3247]

I think they did a great job of showing of ONE type of music that is currently the top success on the charts. Don't hate.

[@Mr__Fogg]

Love the thumbnail for this video - like an advert for Connect 4 game!

[@peteryoung9991]

now you 2 are magic! Awesome footage! Learned so much!

[@AsyncLive]

wonder how usable it is for house/techno music..

[@leventpierre2711]

very good, i use for techno live performance for about 6 months and its going great

[@Cavanho]

my man headbangin so hard to this tutorial the sound of learning is the best bass line of all

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

i wondered if you would get one of these .I just got mine but i could be at the basics for a while because with MPCs i am a total novice

[@RickRijuanaPro]

I guess it'll be fun to learn a new work flow but this made it hard to consider switching That wasn't a trap be either 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185]

What were you using? Because I came from FL studio and got both the ONE and X and it was pretty easy converting. I will say this, most of the internal FX in these new MPCs are better than most of the stock FX in. FL studio. I'd say it took me about a week to develop a solid work flow and get my first full beat mixed / mastered. This was after doing a bunch of playing around with things just to get the hang of navigating. The only thing I wish they had in these things was a spectrum analyzer. Doesn't ever have to be a great one. Just something to give us a general visual representation of what's going on in our mixes. But then these things already do a lot so that's just a minor inconvenience. Other than that, I have no complaints whatsoever. I was literally about to pull the trigger on the FL all plugin bundle until I seen a review on the MPC ONE. I week later I pre-ordered it and when I realized I wouldn't get it for 3 months I went ahead and ordered the X just so I could have it faster. I figure the ONE will come in handy for when I have to go places since the X is too damn big and bulky to travel with. One thing that has been changed on all but the X is the Q links now have a pop-up when tweaked that lets you know what it's controlling. Don't need that with the X because there's OLED screens below each knob that says what it's affecting.

@@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185 thank you

[@royale9998]

Craig Daub Beats - Rap Instrumentals is it possible to make trap beats on at the same quality as you could on fl?

[@mco4972]

Can you import in and browse on this MPC third party sounds and kits?

[@jaemez3247]

you can set up your SD card in any way you want and navigate to those folders the same way.

[@rafaelramos226]

I use a 4 Tb ssd with all my kits and sounds

[@ronizedd8372]

I remember dj Ravine from the early days of KZbin. Good to see :) played the happiest hardcore.

[@Bertiemang]

Can you extract layers (to say a hard drive) of a beat you make to then dj with? Also, can you easily import your own samples into the MPC to add to a beat you're making?

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

Yes is the answer to both these questions.

[@eduugr]

Hi, I'm wondering if after you record those 1/32 hihat patterns is possible to modify the volume of the independent notes or maybe assign some kind of velocity curve to the section of hats so that I can make it feel more dynamic. Like we listen in D&B or breakbeat. Thanks!

[@rebelkleff6250]

Definitely. The touch screen makes it so easy too you can just drag your finger accross multiple notes to change velocities

[@poeticgeenetikstv4672]

How can I get the same 808 LEGATO effect in the MPC LIVE? I copied and paste my kicks and followed, yet I did not get the same effect.

[@MikeJones-tx3xp]

Hey can anyone tell me we’re that beat is from @3:22

[@leewightman8619]

I'm a boombap man but iv started making trap beats as it's much easier with boombap it takes alot of messing around with drums to make it sound authentic with trap it's all straight forward. Hi hat ratchets 808s and snappy snares

[@danielmadson9686]

Great tutorial!

[@TheCanadianDreamEvergreen]

Does anyone know if the MPC live has the MPC 2 software and the synth and FX engines the one has got?

[@InkyDaCaT]

Yes the live, one and X all ship the same, I own a live and can say that any of the three the only differences are inputs/outputs, internal memory and buttons, battery and screen...but the actual brain (what its doing) is same😁🙌

[@FCTHETRUTH]

Please please do more of these!!!! This helped me so much! Can u do another one about sample edit sampling

[@InkyDaCaT]

where is the f9 instrument expansion. i cant find it on the mpc one neither my mpc account?

[@lebronsinclair8012]

Did you ever figure out where it was. I literally just picked mine up and can't figure where it is......le sigh

[@wanpumnoon]

Yu have to register your machine

[@daunknown5663]

Any one know the difference between the mpc one and the mpc live note repeat features let me know because I'm thinking about getting the one if it has better groove and timing than the mpc live I use the live right now but I have been researching the mpc one and it seems like the note repeat is better is it just me or is the mpc one more improved at it

[@InkyDaCaT]

There is no difference in one or live for note repeat!!!! So do not swap lol....its exactly the same software! They just using a different setting.

[@12tribes61]

Same but live has larger storage thats it.

[@InkyDaCaT]

How much are these MPC ONE units?

[@derrickgs777]

$600.00

[@blackghost5388]

$800 with insurance at 🎸 center

[@Official360]

Akai is odd with shipping of this unit. Everyone is getting theirs at different times. Mine came today & others got theirs a month ago. I wonder if they didn't give a definitive date so they could avoid backlash on not being able to deliver when said.

[@FernandoMoodyMusic]

Most websites said the 22nd of this month. Got mine from sweet water yesterday with lots of free cables.

[@darrickkeels6387]

Got mine today. Sweetwater said they are shipping based on when people preordered their units. Those who preordered theirs right away got them earlier

[@Official360]

@@darrickkeels6387 That makes sense. I preorder last month a week after it was announced & they gave me a ship date of the 28th of January at 1st. It soon changed when that date came & went tho 😆

[@robertmaynez]

I hear that mpc has a long learning curve vs native instruments mashine pad, thoughts anyone?

[@mpctv.musicproductioncultu1982]

I'll let you know this from experience! If you're coming from a sampling background then it doesn't get any easier than the MPC!!! But now I appreciate that Akai recognizes that the hardware & software combo is very important too the old & new producers! I think they finally got it going in the right direction with the stand alone option & the ability to use software at the same time!!! It's the best of both worlds. It's things I like and dislike about both. But if I was starting out now I would want the option of that equal work flow that Akai is bringing to the table now. You can save yourself alot of time and get the most bang for your $ with this stand alone/software controller option!!! I wish it was like that when I 1st started cause I would have saved alot of $!(LoL)💯

[@uselessvideo]

@@mpctv.musicproductioncultu1982 Well stated.

[@InkyDaCaT]

Well I never owned mpc before? Watched some videos...and got it straight off...love workflow...fast as ..

[@A5h3n.]

Maschine workflow is a lot harder to learn in my opinion.

[@mwjjr]

@@mpctv.musicproductioncultu1982 Not quite true. I owned an mpc 1000 and sold it to obtain a maschine. The workflow of the maschine is much more faster than an mpc. You dont have to stop the maschine/track to do anything as opposed to an mpc. I would say if you're new to sampling go with the native instruments maschine. It's much more straight forward.

[@dochavock8385]

You can sample countless beats etc they just showing ootb , it’s very versatile

LionofJudah you can do the same with any groove box. It’s the man with the skill that makes the Maschine. The Maschine doesn’t make the man.

Who is you? The song was whack but it's definitely trap--so all credibility is lost right there, expert. ha ha But shiiii, I'm game" What's making you say it's not trap? Oh, and it's not like Maschine is anything, anyway. Alls these things are is people buying music that other people created and then playing it back talkin bout "I'm a beat maker". Ha ha ha No you isn't. Youse a beat chopper upper and play back different maker. ANYONE can, and most everyone DOES do that. Dig it? I'm just saying, nephew....before you come in here thumping your chest kick back. You ain't nobody anyway. Remember that. Oh, and how you gonna talk greasy and ain't nary a beat one your channel?
