This Bad Gear episode is ticking ALL the boxes! Ticking off many people but tickling the ears of many others.

[@AudioPilz]

❤️❤️❤️Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@artisans8521]

Hmzzz, I hope AudioPilz has experience in running from angry lynch mobs, but of course, it could be worse. He could also grab a 3K and designate that bad gear 😂. But samplers of all kinds have convoluted workflows, especially if they wanna be an "eierlegendewolmilchsau" as the new generation of MPCs so desperately wants to be. Personally, I don't bother with them too much. If it's a DIAB, my box is a 12 Gb laptop soon to be replaced by 64 Gb machine. Run the software, add a silver Studio controller, and go F them all. Still convoluted but with more options to fiddle with (in my case, including the Cremona Quartet). And as an ICT drop-out, I've spent enough time behind a screen not to be bothered by them at all. Unless they are touchscreens, then I hate them with a passion.

100% the best part of dawless is the lack of distraction that a browser brings to your workflow 😅

[@AudioPilz]

True that!

[@SsgtHolland]

I use a DAWless browser. I hardly think about my music at all.

[@voltijuice8576]

Also more or less true of using an ancient DAW on an ancient OS. A DOS box with Cakewalk, an Atari with KCS Omega, an OS 9 Mac with Studio Vision Pro. Software can finally be be reliable once it's "dead" and you never update it again, and you are free to bask in that sweet workflow. Obsolete systems can be productive as they have loads of abandonware and none of the distraction.

[@metacortexvortex2131]

Limiting from infinite choices down to some smaller number of finite choices seems to help you escape from a type of paralysis.

[@CrowdContr0l]

But the MPC *is* a DAW, so I would not count this as "DAWless". Also the MPC workflow is terrible, so it feels like a DAW c. 1990s Microsoft would have made.

[@diezdiazgiant]

i feel like the main value of the mpc is how fast and fun sample chopping is and creating drum programs from them. i bought mine on a whim because i just wanted a sampler and now anything i make or record whether its other hardware, my laptop, my phone ends up as a program on my mpc. i feel like the mpc shines brightest when you dont look at it as a replacement for a daw but as a supplement or tool to collect a bunch of ideas from different sources

MPC one is my favourite piece of music gear excluding my guitars and Axe fx. Great job Florian

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

[@agentvx8320]

If you're going to do a bunch of work in the box, I recommend a touchscreen stylus. Makes life a lot easier. The "MPC Software" DAW also offers fantastic integration with hardware MPCs, you can use the on board controls pretty much seamlessly to work on the same project files on a large screen with mouse and keyboard, with some other added benefits like full VST support and more audio tracks. I have the Live 2 and I love it. It has replaced practically all of my other gear.

[@AudioPilz]

Interesting approach! Thanks for posting

[@blaccteezy]

Wait, what stylus? I want…

[@silentshadowdnb]

Any touchscreen stylus is going to be fine. I can recommend the Adonit Mark, I bought two.

Yup yup, I found a new pen/stylus, pulled the ink guts out. Bam... F'in loved it. Especially when my grid is really small. If anyone finds a pen stylus, I'd recommend making sure there's no ink on the rubber stylus. Also, I still have my screen protector on the mpc.

A lot of people who run older mpcs or emu sp1200s would say no, but imo it's just as capable as the vintage samplers. Even more so in some ways, but you make a point about the MPC one in particular not being able to record phono which other versions including the MPC live 2 and x can.

[@workethicrecords5901]

Good overview. Things that are cool that weren't mentioned: the lack of IO can be addressed with an external mixer or interface off the USB Port. For live performances, I plug it into my X-18, and can use all the 18 channels as ins or outs over USB. Haven't touched the built in audio IO in years. Thing that I don't like about the unit: all the things you would need for live performances are spread across all different menus/ pads! Track mutes, sample mutes, sequence changes, ect, all have to be their own seperate section. So if you want to mute something to go into a new sequence, you've got to jump between a bunch of different menus in a very short amount of titime.

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks for the heads up!!!

[@rickrab9036]

100% this is MPC ONEs big weakness. I find it actually slower to navigate than classic MPCs which had dedicated track up/down buttons. ONE can do a lot more, but to do anything u pretty much have to return home and begin a new menu dive to do it

[@RFASHGAMING]

Funnily enough, most of the hate comes from people who've never even tried it. Complaints about the newer MPCs being a "DAW in A Box", are also absolutely hilarious. If the workflow was anything less, the complaints would be "if only it worked more like a DAW". You get a standalone device to move away from using a computer. While yes, there is a learning curve (because OMG it actually takes time to learn something new!), it's still a pretty straight-forward experience. And it still hits harder than any DAW does, WITHOUT plugins.

[@Skootavision]

I had an mpc one and I sold it. I could never seem to wrap my brain around the UI and just felt frustrated. I use an mpc 1k jjos instead and love the simplicity

[@prufrockrenegade]

I'm in the same boat. I thought the extra features would improve my workflow, but I discovered that I don't need them as often as I thought I would, and that navigating around them when I don't need them just slows things down too much for me. I still have mine for now, but it gets used much less often than my trusty 1k

[@AudioPilz]

JJOS is rad

[@CrowdContr0l]

The problem is that the MPC does one thing way way way better than anything else, but literally every other feature is hot garbage. So if all you want is a dedicated finger drum machine and can tolerate the idiotic UI/UX, it's somewhat worth the studio space.

[@MPCmanNL]

Weekeenndddddd!! As usual, I enjoyed the video. Using USB and a USB hub, the MPC One is quite the studio center piece. I'm using mine with 6 synths/drummachines that provide Midi over USB. The old Emagic Unitor 8 midi interface is supported as well, which gives me another 8 Midi in/out on 5 pins connector. You can use one class compliant audio device to get upto 32 audio I/O.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!! Nice technique!!!

[@compucorder64]

​@@AudioPilz Yip, was about to post the above. Ext. audio interface and USB hub adds a lot. Agree it's a mixed bag; clunky ui; steep learning curve; not enough storage; should stream audio; only 4 Q-links can be annoying, because UI is inconsistent with how they're setup; doesn't play nicely as a MIDI slave, should be called MPC Dom. But there's more I like than dislike. For all it's annoyances, it's still a bargain, because it's very good for a number of uses: drum pads, performance, hardware stereo sampler with many voices, (unlike Digitakt, which I ditched for it!) nifty auto-sampler, hardware sequencer with good feel; plugins like OP-X are good; master clock and usb host for whole studio; cv/gate interface for small eurorack; supports class compliant audio audio interface. Useful as digital mixer.The mistake Akai make is pitching it like it's great for everything and paying no attention to UI/UX quality. When, it's only good at some of those things (sampler, sequencer, hub, sketchpad), and not so good at others (file management, recording, detailed arrangement, full plugin-track host, final fx/mixing, mastering).

Really enjoyed the Hardware house :) I kinda liked the MPC Live with sw 2.3 at the time, later they added so much stuff, it became too bloated, laggy a also more buggy.

I used to have MPC One, but sold it because the workflow was a bit overwhelming and I didn't really have the time to learn all of the available features. Great gear, perhaps, not for everyone.

[@AudioPilz]

Agreed!

[@tbornottb303]

It looks and sounds awesome. Definitely for the next generation future Pal Joeys out there.

[@AudioPilz]

👍👍👍

[@DanChippendaleMusic]

Cant wait for the MPC TWO

[@AudioPilz]

With Meme access;)

[@DanChippendaleMusic]

@@AudioPilz there will be a Splice of memes by then

Seriously though disc streaming should be on its way, its on force. Force didn't have midi mapping for years, eventually they catch up with each other.

[@AudioPilz]

Not sure if the internal CPU is up to the task...

[@marcus268]

Waiting since 3 years, gave up recently.

Ich bin ein stolzer Besitzer eines MPC Live! Ein tolles standalone Gerät! Und wie immer ein super Review von dir 👌

[@AudioPilz]

Vielen herzlichen Dank!!!

[@Wagoo]

Why still no disk streaming, Akai? Why! Especially as they added it to the Force a couple years ago.. Another smashing instalment!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

[@dubbylabby6068]

Probably because of the nature of the linux distro+he combo itself. Should be like those android phones you can move whatsapp updates to sd card… let’s hope the coding from the Force could be make compatible and someday add that must have festure.

[@Wagoo]

@@dubbylabby6068 the Force OS (really GUI, since base OS is Linux as we all know) was forked from the MPC.. so really there is no excuse for such a fundamental feature not being on both Honestly I think it'd be cool if MPC+APC MIDI controller would enable Force functionality.. and Force+MPC controller would unlock MPC functionality

They just added it for longer audio files with 3.0, but I doubt that even most SSDs will be fast enough.
