One of the best tutorials and AKAI is the BEST💪🏽 I JUST GOT Mines and same color and yesterday I got the Akai Professional Advance 61 …

[@anna_surv]

Thank you! This video was helpful! I just got me the black one and this is my first midi keyboard! I can’t wait to get it started. I also just subscribed! 🙏🏼🎹

[@spaceflyer]

Thank you so much, I’ve subscribed and you are a great easy to listen to teacher. Love the MPC tutorial, can’t wait for more. BTW I’m a old school 61 year old rocker and I loved what you showed. Just got my MPC MK 3 for my 61st birthday today. Love ya my man.

[@jawmehs]

I can't stress enough how easy it was to jump right in with those device and the software. With a lot of help from the tutorial videos like this from the good folk it really didn't take long for me to catch on how it worked coming from a zero experience approach, other than I've always loved and appreciated and absorbed music for these past two decades

[@kgradio]

Best video yet for explaining of the capabilities of the MPK Mini MK3, you rock man.

[@MarcusElbow]

Thanks bro bro!! I appreciate that! 🙏🏾👊🏾

[@balazsbereczky595]

Dude the way you expressed this wonder is amazing, I truely admire the way you perform. It is so chill and also amazing. Also the track was sick.

[@MarcusElbow]

Thank you bro bro!!

[@juce1972]

Getting ready!! Needed this!!!

[@parlaykingmma1905]

Getting this for Christmas ! I’ve always wanted to start making beats. Was a pretty good drummer growing up and always finger drumming on the desk in school haha. Apollo Brown my top 1 inspiration for sure. Dudes a genius . Thank you for this video.

[@parlaykingmma1905]

So all I need is a computer and I can set this up download everything and start making bangers ? How do I put in samples ? Like samples from old music /movies and stuff like that ? And then make the beat on top of that?

[@SonyPSP1001]

Tyler Bell that’s my main question as well. Can a Bluetooth vinyl player link to this for sampling?

[@Odello2701]

Great man. This was expiring

Hi can you help please its now saying audio device not working it was working when I first hooked it up

[@timothyjones3533]

I did on BM3

[@chenchaso39]

I also did not like the first one i use mainly the MPC Live 1 but started using Serra to studio and this maps with it out the box so going to give akai another go thanks for this review

[@FGMCI]

I can't get my sounds to work I did everything and did everything in the video but the pad sounds aren't working

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Any issues Email Akai and they will send you a detailed guid to fix your issue.

[@boomboombaby9140]

Why when you put the notes on chords in the software the pads on the mpk won’t play the chords ? If I use the mouse or keys to pads and use the typing keys on my MacBook they play the chords but the mpk will not .

[@ziorakitic7407]

why my MPC beats grid is very small? How can I change it? thanks :)

[@MarcusElbow]

There’s a control level for resizing the grid in the middle of the software on the right. 👊🏾

Big ups Bruv.. one question, akai MPK or the i Rig keys 25, what would u prefer ???

[@MarcusElbow]

Got to go with the iRig keys 25 bro, it comes with an audio interface and a nicer key bed. The pads are better on the MPK but the iRig 25 would be the better choice! Hope this helped bro!🙏🏾👊🏾✌🏾

When I go to enable the MK3 there is no map for it. Only the MK2.

[@juanpablopontevelazquez8964]

quick question man.. is it at all possible to sample with the midi keyboard. i got my hands on a audio technica turntable and was wondering the most cost effective option in terms of sampling sounds and making a beat of them off the same device, would this model be able to accomplish this?

[@MarcusElbow]

What’s good Juan?! No sir! This is just a midi controller. It controls data from any type of music creation software that allows midi. To sample you would need a sampler like the MPC live for example. They do have cheap samplers out there that you could use to then bring that data into a software program like MPC Beats and then chop them using the MPK. That would be the only way to do this tho using this device. Sorry bro!🙏🏾👊🏾
