NEW & Improved Akai MPC One+

[@gurtana]

Videos like this show two things: 1) how easy it to create on the fly with Akai MPCs and 2) how Andy Mac has an incredible ear for tune and on-the-fly creativity - there's, no better ambassador to demonstrate this gear 👍

[@benhall2235]

He called it “cheap”. He needs some lessons in salesmanship. You never say the product you’re selling is cheap or cheaper. Great value/better value is what you should say. Cheap implies low quality. Cheap and nasty. Cheap is overtly negative.

[@gurtana]

@@benhall2235 obviously a slip up. He would know that. He’s done loads of these presentations so jumping on that is just pedantic.

I am proud owner of "old" black MPC ONE and i love it so much. Jura looks great but i am okay without it. I have great external synths from Dreadbox and my MPC one is central brain between them. Biggest bottleneck of MPC ONE is one input and one midi port. I know there are more expensive machines from AKAI with more ports. MPC ONE can use usb midi bus but it has some pains ... I hope Jura will be available for older MPCs later too ;-)

[@MS-1]

Vst for CDJ midi deck turntable controllers please Akai? (The ability to plug in my midi controller deck and, scratch samples in standalone while recording is a game changer).

[@alecsbuga]

Wish they could sell you the Logic board if you’re willing to update yours yourself.

[@Didirocku]

All of these companies have been doing the same thing. They’ll release the product and hold back one key feature just to rerelease it with the added feature that they’ve should’ve put on the previous unit. Wifi and Bluetooth isn’t some new technology. It should’ve been on the first Mpc One

[@richieknight5423]

If it was, they wouldn't make money and their would be no Akai. That's business.

[@enjoygames6118]

Launch the upgrade logic board for previous devices! 2g to 4g TOP. That's right. And, of course, the price should be affordable for everyone. You just need to have a little awareness and everything will be fine for all users. No hate, i love Mpc's

[@achook9474]

But didn’t add more RAM. Still 2gb. Why not add the 2 extra Gb?

[@J-Hz]

Are you an existing user? If they added 4gb would you buy another mpc?

[@dot.s9140]

Akai on there money grab mode

[@stevenbakos]

If the Original One was easier to update via Computer, that would have been great from the start. Making a whole new MODEL is really disappointing to the OG owners

[@NSW-ye3xw]

If you already own an MPC One, there is absolutely no need to upgrade. Personally, I don't need Bluetooth or WiFi. 2Gb RAM and a 128Gb SD card is more than enough for electronic music.

[@Believer7154]

Hello all. Thank you for that excellent video! Detailed and precise information. You made it look like so much fun, wow! Much appreciated. Can you do one for the Akai MPK Mini Plus? I know nothing about any of this but want to learn. Is the MPC Key 37 or the MPC One+ too much for a beginner? Please advise. Rock rock on!!!

[@magicizaproblem]

Long live the OG!!!

[@Olibe-1]

Wait... since this is a linux based box, if it has wifi and bluetooth drivers in the firmware (and firmware is the same between ONEs) it means we might have a chane to enable usb dongles with the same wifi/bluetooth chips...meaning we could have those features for the good old mpc One via usb dongles...

[@Sonic-Boom]

Adding a USB Wifi dongle to the MPC One would be great.

may i ask you how do you connect it to say a dj controller like a denon prime plus so you can dj and also use the akai to mix into tracks or simply add your own beats and styles on the akai

[@ebow707]

Ableton link on your Denon and this. You need to choose which option of the sync types on the Denon suit you, tempo, beat or bar.. then off you go. I have just starting mixing using it too

[@neil19781978]

I’ve been curious about the akai workflow and I hope they install SUPER high Quality sound, so I can experience this popular workflow eventually. Mastering can be easier from high end sound .

[@dannydecanhas3743]

Denon DJ is also owned by the same owners as akai, and they’ve been leveling up huge in the DJ scene. If I was to get a new dj set up, it would come from Denon. Pioneer is overpriced and overrated now a days. And when is comes to standalone production, akai is king.

[@aikighost]

Yes that would be great as long as they have a built in sequencer, half the 303 vibe is because of the sequencer.

[@zaubermac5780]

#mindblown wow, amazing! Left me with a couple quesitons though? Is the midi input CC programmable? E.i., could I use the pads on the MPK mini to switch between patches I'm playing live on keys? Can I set up the knobs on the KB to adjust patch param? If so, do they allow you to have seperate params for each patch that change when the patch changes?

Audio I/O is all built in. I had a USB hub plugged in. You can also connect up to 32 Midi devices via USB and any compatible class compliant audio interface if you want to expand the I/O.

[@NiveusLuxLucis]

After researching for a while into standalone grooveboxes I've settled on a MC707 and couldn't be happier with it. Ableton Push 3 standalone looks super interesting to check out in the future. I don't know what it is about the MPC line but while it seems appealing I'm just not vibeing with it.

[@EnriquePage91]

I have the mc 707 - I’d go back and would change it in a heartbeat for an MPC One plus for sure. Especially considering the saving - but when without it. Roland is too restrictive (love them anyway btw)

[@dleonardrandom3416]

Comparing the mc707 to mpc one plus is like comparing a RACING HORSE to a donkey. Roland is good if MIDI’d to something, like a mpc. AKAI did a great job as always. Just one of those things, can’t please everyone. But it’s not the gear, it’s the ear of the creator

[@lX-NDR]

​@@dleonardrandom3416its also the gear wich lets you think in a certain way to create stuff. So defnitly its the tools and gear too and not just the ear...somuch artist want a particular piano or guitar of sampler of daw for certain style of sound/sounddesign.

[@alecsbuga]

But how are the converters? :D

[@obscuresoundz]

just bounce to wave if u dont like the converters

[@alecsbuga]

@@obscuresoundz #irony :P

[@davidcache]

All of the current generation MPC's use AKM converters. They're really good, but there's no voicing on the inputs, they can't be driven too hard, or they clip in the most unpleasing way possible. I did add an antelope audio interface to my MPC and clock synced it to my RME using an spdif connection. Now i have the added benefit of being able to sample my computer samplers using the autosampler feature through a digital spidf connection. Better yet, I use my outboard gear inline while auto sampling, allowing me to sculpt my keygroups in unique and extraordinary ways... In the right hands, the MPC is the ultimate workstation. Say your a gigging musician, you need a NORD lead for a particular set of sounds, and a Kronos for another... With an MPC you could rip the sounds you need out of your Nord's, Korgs, etc, and have all of the sounds travel with you in one machine. If the sound isn't what you thrive for, you could do what I did, give it its own interface, if you have an exotic interface elsewhere putting out a steady clock, you could bring that into the mix. Suddenly your MPC sounds better than every other workstation on the market, while being undeniably the best sequencer on planet earth. In short, the converters aren't terrible. And if you thrive for better sound, adding a decent interface isnt hard.

[@alecsbuga]

@@davidcache I was just trying to be ironic... apparently there are people that give a damn about the converters in these new MPCs not being the same as the old ones. And honestly, ppl forget most of the music is consumed on AirPods, so who gives a damn about converters? :))

[@Dewane1511]

Once MPC provides a song arranger, it can be considered a music production platform. At the moment, it’s a drum machine, sampler and looper with some software instruments, but you still can’t arrange a piece of music on it. This is a small evolutionary improvement on the original MPC One, with AKAI going for some easy improvements, but avoiding the elephant in the room: no arranger.

[@ChrisP3000x]

They know that 99.9% of their base never get past one or two 4/8-bar loops. And 99.9% of them.....never even finish that......And will never come close to finishing a "song". Song arranger?......😏

Honestly guys I wish you didn't try to snipe at Behringer with the affordable classic stuff, it's a great opportunity but I wanna see more original stuff. I really like fabric and flavor pro, that new delay sounds pretty sweet too. I just bought a legit Juno 106s and gotta say this jura sounds pretty similar to a lot of the onboard sounds. It's nice to have the added features though for sure. I'd rather see you guys make a 16 q link USB device for the masses of people like me who only have 4 q links. Or ya know a battery powered version akin to the mpc500. A new body format and button layout is pretty needed especially after the special edition debacle. Mpc keys was your best idea recently a smaller version would be cool

Saludos desde Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain), me estoy volviendo loco con mi nuevo MPC ONE y no encuentro la forma de poder lanzar los samples en la secuencia utilizando el modo "PAD Mute" sin tener que esperar a que termine los 16 compases mientras se están reproduciendo, el ejemplo es que en un pad tengo un loop wav de batería que dura 16 compases, si este pad lo tengo muteado desde que reproduzco la secuencia a la hora de activar este loop en medio del compas solo se reproducirá a partir del compas 1, ¿existe alguna forma para que pueda reproducir el sampler a partir del compás que quiera? muchas gracias !!
