MPC 3.0 Update Is Here!!!

[@jakejesuss]

OMFG, I'm never selling my MPC. I was just making a beat this morning wondering when they were going to do an update. Low and behold!

[@Troystreetzproduction]

That arranger mode is a game changer this will motivate me more to make my arrangements in the Mpc versus dumping it in fl studio just to arrange it

[@freshestinclass763]

They smart.

[@bluffgawd]

That’s what I been doing too. Bounce it to Fl lol

[@BugBum1]

Is there a reason why you choose fl studio over other options

[@Troystreetzproduction]

@@BugBum1 fl is the first daw that I started with so I use it because I’m familiar with it but I’m currently messing around with studio one as well and it’s dope so fl is just my preference

[@developmental08]

For a new standalone person coming from Logic and FL it’s great to see the arrangement view; what amazing timing.

[@gassmaskwoodrow]

Only reason I be using Logic 😂 when the mpc3 drop imma go and grab me a live 2 go back to using the mpc.

[@JazMystic1]

ive been wanting to get an mpc on and off or like 4 years. now i just wait for a ram updated version of an mpc and i will buy one :D

Akai just shut the door on Native instruments coffin…but I think i see Maschines foot hanging out..the match might not be over yet 😂

[@davidscott2095]

😂

[@cesarbarbosa4109]

Well akai should be leading the way. They only focus on the mpc etc etc. while NI has a plethora of stuff, hence why maschine will always be behind the mpc

[@TheLerenz28]

It’s not trust me! And I’ve already said too much lol

[@CMane]

@@cesarbarbosa4109 There really is no true comparison between the two companies. Comparison between individual units? Yeah… But, AKAI can’t hold a stick to NI.

[@Ellz_The_EnginEar]

@@CManei agree. The only thing Akai has on NI is the mpc. NI will still be NI with or without Maschine.

[@samgoldsberry3029]

This looks like Akai moved a lot of the Akai Force functions into the MPC family. Let's call it the MPC Force. Great vid.

[@EllzTheEnginEar]

Probably the longest tutorial bolo has made so far lol. That’s how you know this update is worth something.

[@BoloDaProducer]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@timothysoprano140]

So how you about song mode?

[@Sikoh6]

This is beyond dope. I think I'm going to install this on my MPC-X LE to learn everything I need to know but keep the old firmware on my LIVE so my productivity isn't interrupted. Can't wait.

[@Mill-on-da-track]

Akai been showing love like Flstudio with all the updates 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@SuperLinuxAudioGuru]

Awesome, now I will be able to use my MPC One + like I know what I'm doing.

[@HULK373]

Yeah I have a Maschine Plus, I'm not giving up on Maschine yet, I think this is going to be the best year for us as consumers. Everybody's swinging for the fences. Perfect timing for me because my MPC One Plus will be here today!😂 Thanks for the video My Brother! It's nice to see our community working together. I saw brother Malo video and he refer us to you. Have a great day Fam!😎

[@emiliolorenzini8050]

Bolo, hat down to you…I have not seen a more clear, easy to understand explanation. You Sr. Rock!!!

[@BeautifulLoops]

I feel like this is a great way for Akai to refresh there current models without coming out with new gear. They can just update the interface on the touchscreen. This will innovate and elevate your MPC workflow🙌🏾 Bravo👌🏾

[@michaeltrenier]

It’s a great time to be a music producer. Across the board. From Akai to Arturia just everybody man…as a Maschine guy natively this is GREAT and hopefully Ni pays attention. They’re a patient company…a little TOO patient 😂 Bolo always on point 🤝🏾

[@reticleronin]

A new MPC version makes me think a new MPC is on the way

[@tajih9683]

Maschine KILLER!!!! And I love Maschine's workflow but AKAI stepped up!!!

[@Ast3rixMusic]

Love sound design experimentation. It gives you a unique sound that differs from all the stock stuff you hear all the time.

[@DAM_CC]

The Timing is perfect. I switched This Month from FL Studio to MPC Keys 37. and nie this arrangemode 🎉🎉❤

[@MrMechanicMike]

Welcome to MPC 🤩

[@TeddyRockSteady]

Linear arrangement is one thing I heard you ask for during the stems update. Good to see they are listening. Salute!

[@busyworksbeats]

MPC is looking fun!

[@mikoajczeski1272]

It looks like Akai force with only 16 pads ;)

[@telvinpennyman513]

The onlllyy thing I see so far is not being able to mute the midi sections in arranger. After that’s done it would be dang near perfect! I’m excited

[@jakejesuss]

Loopop's tutorial shows a workaround for this.

[@thisisalbe]

Just circled back to MPC. The MPC Key 61 was my first mpc experience and now I have a X and 3.0 and it’s so much better in so many ways

[@itsOmari]

I couldn't wait to hear what BOLO had to say!!!!!

[@frank198210]

wow wow wow....😱😱😱 color wave files!!!!

[@frank198210]

These Akai dudes are doing it.... UI interface easy & user friendly quick viewer access is wrap for me... im coming off Ableton PC and this is an easy dive in!!!! 🤩

Couldn't agree more!

[@X7_MERC_MAN_17]

Got me one my bro and I ain't had enough time to get deep in 2.0 so 3.0 is just fine..bring it bolo thank you

[@ChadHorton-xf8ng]

I just got the MPC Key 37. I cant wait for this release…🎉😮🎉

[@12spin]

I’ve loved the MPC workflow since I had an MPC3000 in the 90s but this is an epic change already! Thanks for this video demonstration Bolo! ✌🏾

[@Category-Five]

BOLO THE GOAT !!! been watching your videos for years and you have helped me so much... Thanks bro !! keep it up

[@sweedlowery]

Hey bolo you actually can mut the midi in arranger mode you just long press on the part you want to mute and a menu pops up and yiu mute out what you want

[@studiotyson2963]

AKAI continues to deliver amazing updates to the MPC Product Line! I was waiting for this update - and it's coming soon! So exciting to see it finally arriving!

[@johnnyparker2128]

See.....I knew I made a smart decision coming back to MPC.

[@bullet1218]

Akai update is 🔥and those old school production skills are 🔥🔥💯👍

[@napynap]

MPCs are so cool! I remember the old 12-bit ones, then got a MPC2000, which I didn't like, but these new ones look amazing!

[@Disisions]

Glad that they let you try it out. Let’s us know that they’re actually working on it.

[@park171]

Super Sweet, I love the improvements can’t complain at all! Great vid.

[@BoloDaProducer]

Thanks!

[@PeanutButterAM]

So they blended the Force and MPC software. Good move. Hopefully this means they will be moving forward with the Force updates now. Looks good so far.

[@jaemez3247]

DAMN! the color separation alone was a big leap. Makes my brain go 🙂

[@TheAudioBank]

Akai just dominated. Can’t wait to see the new hardware coming. Thanks for the vid Bolo

[@BeautifulLoops]

This is amazing, I've been waiting for akai to add a arranger mode. 🔥🔥🔥 I'm glad I made the switch to MPC 🙌🏾

[@iAmTakeNote]

I just got my first MPC last week. Still learning the original way lol Now this update! But I’m liking it

[@2ATILLTHEYBURYME]

Same here! I got my MOC about a week ago too! Same feelings🙋🏽‍♂️

[@josephkissel6062]

I'm new this year as well ... I think slightly knowing the old way will help the transition. I think mostly it's going to just make so much more sense because there were too many disjointed screens to sort through in MPC 2.

[@Randy-b9f]

Good look bo I just got this thing yesterday an was so confused but I love 29:21 it this beat fire too. Glad I came to check on you 😂

[@Official360]

This aint ya grandaddy's MPC anymore. We in the big leagues now!

[@nextphaze2]

Okay so salute and shout out to Akai. I ditched my MPC many years ago in favor of native instruments machine 3, now I'm starting to wonder are native instruments still in business and why haven't I seen any updates. Well only one thing to do and that's to go get an MPC.

[@Randy-b9f]

Good look bo I just got this thing yesterday an was so confused but I love it this beat fire too. Glad I came to check on you 😂

[@Mista808]

The arranger is what I'm looking forward to the most! Every other part of the update just seems like moving shit around for no reason or practicality!

[@jjbing3]

Alright. It’s time to go back to MpC. The thing I always hated was the sequencer, I couldn’t figure it out after using linear sequencing. Time to start looking 👀

[@MrMissingReel]

How can you hate the tightest sequencer on the market 😂

[@harveygarrett4129]

Just changing the mixer mode for me is good enough. I would've paid for that .👍🏾🎶🔥

[@jamescox1750]

Good stuff BoLo, thanks for sharing. Can't wait ti incorporate it into my workflow on my MPC X

[@matthewdemayo9067]

MY BROTHER. I spent an hour looking for MPC 3 and harassing them and InMusic at 3 in the morning as to why I cant have it. SO THANKS FOR clearing that up. Im finna go to bed finallyl. subscribed and looking out for your future posts. so i will be keeping up with you. one love.

[@paulsmith1052]

Man - this is too dope - and I actually think this is just a pivot point - I don't think Akai is done with the big surprises just yet. It wouldn't surprise me at all if when they launch, there is another couple of wow moments - just have that gut feeling. Great content as always good Sir.

[@bondson0094]

Great video..i am excited been waiting for Akai to do this because i produce mostly R&B and linear style songs . Transporting the beats i make in the MPC to Logic Pro to complete the song arrangement can kill an idea or inspiration..being able to create in a linear fashion is huge..luv it!

[@ZETONEproductions]

Well just left mpc eco behind .. Maschine mk3 and a jam and I won’t go back to mpc … Maschine Is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@josephkissel6062]

Hmmm ... I did the opposite adding key 37. Mk3 is mostly a Logic controller now ...

[@706erRick]

The sampler and mixer looks like Maschine to me... still looks fire though can you use vst3 now...I'm stacking for that Live2

[@BoloDaProducer]

Nah… none of these standalone machines will ever be able to use vst3 anytime soon

[@706erRick]

Gotta figure a way around it..that's the only reason I didn't get the Live 2 and got the Maschine MK3​@@BoloDaProducer

[@kevinguevara3082]

I love this because I both use FL and I have a MPC one. I got my MPC one when a year after they first announced its release. Will I still be able to use MPC 3 software. I heard it was only for the newer devices.

[@ojallday122]

I really like the new Drum Pads as Stems feature. But you know what would be really dope🤔 Being about to take an existing drum loop from a loop pack and stem out the kick, snare, hihat, etc... Maybe you could bring this up in a future video so that Akai would consider adding this to the next update. What do you think?

[@DavidBulczak]

Great video @bolo. Two questions that came up for me. 1. Now that we get audio disk streaming. Does 3.0 now allow more than 8 audio tracks in standalone? 2. If you create a new sequence. Is it empty or do the tracks between sequences sync? Thus let's say if you have seqence 1 with drums, bass and an instrument and then create sequnce 2. Does ist have the same instruments or is it still like in 2.x that you either have to copy a sequence or recreate the tracks? If the track setup doesn't sync... How does arrangemet of multiple sequences work?

[@G-know_LFM]

Looks like you can record drops and stuff, live, by automating mutes in the arranger. Seems like a simpler and more organic way vs. selecting / deleting.
