It's Finally Here! Akai's New audio STEM Separation tool! 🔥

[@BoloDaProducer]

This will be released in Early February for $9.99! Controller mode will be first then standalone coming shortly after! Basically the same way Akai released Flex Beat

[@krisguy]

Only have to pay once, right?

[@timweakley6565]

Dint you mean $99.99???

We have to pay for the update to be able to separate stems?

[@gus_bro]

When that stem separator come out we need at least 1 instrumental album from every producer. No more excuses. 🙏🏾

Agreed. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@Dr_Fangaz334]

I'm definitely with that. I'm already working on one with the software I use.

[@beatslifekids]

Yo, this new golden era ! Bolo the way you did this video is legendary. It will go down as one of the videos that inspired a generation, the soulful sample that you use from Splice the way you showed us how to chop samples using the new stem separation. I can see this is going to be, the beginning of a new wave of that true hip-hop. ❤#akai thank you

[@squalley]

💯

[@BurningBushPedagogy]

Bro common, new generation? by using old or already existing music from elsewhere. This is a little unfair, it encourages people to just copy other people's creations and make a few adjustments and think its yours. For its great creating instruments for Karaoke or covers. I prefer to make own real music.

For them to put this information out this early before NAMM and it’s not available to us yet makes me think NI has something big coming this year and AKAI wanted to get in front of them by getting the community buzzing now.

[@Webzterr]

I tell no lie when I say, .. no Akai update has ever excited me this much 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BoloDaProducer]

Same here

[@dragonheatbeats9944]

I think it’s genius putting them on same pad in layers……so you can mute things in and out to see what you want to take and leave behind before flattening it down to chop up.. On top of having it all in one pad, it also gives you separate audio files in your pool that you can put on adjacent pads to your liking …options

[@BoloDaProducer]

True

[@leedza]

I wish Dilla was around to experience this moment.

[@MeltWithU]

I tell people on a constant basis, how incredible Akai is as a company. If you ask them to do something, they generally do it if they can. The great part is, once you buy any of their instruments on their line… You are good for what seems like eternity. Because all of these updates generally come to every machine they made within the past seemingly 10+ years. So users of older machines aren’t left out. That’s pretty incredible for any company. Regardless, this is an incredible feature that I imagine so many people are going to use. I’m going to use it to suck drumbeats out of that I like and use them for my own projects. Very very cool. Thank you for the demo.

[@ATHTSupply]

Akai said “The party don’t start till I walk in!” Big , BIG move for AKAI

Let’s go. Wow. I’m so excited. This is exactly why I am so .in love with my MPC. AKAI has just kept making the MPC better and better. This is going to be world changing for me. I am even more happy that I got my MPC X SE than I already was. I am gonna be using this a lot!

[@5050songs]

This is insane! I’m really curious to hear the sound quality of the split when feeding it different sources.

[@peterpowell5189]

i watched this when you 1st dropped it and now that it's finally here and I have it, I had some questions, went back and watched this again and I have way more insight and understanding lol..the way you break things down in a simplistic way, a lot of people can't do....I was thinking how do you have all your stems and chops and how to keep your them organized. I was thinking about assigning to different PAD BANKS, but as you said, they are on separate programs

[@jayfiya5230]

omg....it's OVERRRRRRRRR!!! i needed this.

[@jefgibbons]

Incredible! LOVE that the chops transfer over too... Great video man, would love to see this compared to Serato!

[@Stadsjaap]

@5:49 if you deselect Assign to Pad you probably won't have to clear the pad after stem separation? Just a thought.

[@BoloDaProducer]

Nope… not in this particular version. Maybe by time of public release

[@SS1971SAMUEL]

That was a great presentation BOLO. Tim's was nice chop up! Double S! Passing threw!. Shalawam!...

[@dugnice]

Excellent demonstration. I'm just confused as to why you say the feature launches in February but the official MPC Stems page says it launches in March and makes no mention of pricing, though you're saying $9.99, which suggests that outside of stems, this update will be relatively minor.

[@YattirSmith]

In Akai's video, they demonstrate why they put all four samples on one pad after steaming it out. This is done to easily manipulate the sample and select which stem to keep in that single sample pad.

[@BoloDaProducer]

I know

[@joonglegamer9898]

Mind blown. Now that's a useful tool, instrumental ripper in reality.

The loop you're using is in Smack Pack 18 with the instruments already separated by instrument.

[@BoogieBoogsForever]

That's very cool that you can chop the sample and then Akai can split the stems so you you have the sample by slice and then by stem.

That is a dope feature!

[@TechTronix01]

At the point where you have to convert the individual stem to a programme. It would he nice if you could make it one programme that was stemmed.. so it maps all the chops and they are made from the 4 stem layers.

I knew when I stepped away that some dope updates would drop that would have me excited to come back! Seems like it's time! I still been making music all the time in FL Studio though. Just haven't wanted to mess with the MPC for awhile.

[@ApolloJetsonKND]

Bolo since ur working with akai can you tell them please upgrade the sound converters and pre amps inside the mpcs and balanced outputs . We want quality and we don’t care how much it costs. As long as its not over $4k … i want a quality unit with an arm rest n wood and metal And good pads. . We want quality professional aimed products. 🚀🕺🔥 they need to look more at the older stuff and elevate the sound. 💯💯

[@BoloDaProducer]

If you don’t know how to mix and use correct sounds that don’t clash, better converters don’t mean a thing. It’s more than just the converters. I’ve had just about every MPC since 2002 and the converters on any of the newer machines are not bad at all. I’ve done test on it and made videos on it. Pick good sounds and samples and mix well and these machines will sound great, trust me. I haven’t had one top mixing engineer tell me there was anything wrong with my beats due to bad conversion

[@poediggonthebeattgdk6910]

And I want to know the comparisons in between the mpC and fruity loops stem separation

It's definately better to be late LOL. fl studio blew my mind when this happened. Even for Splice samples!

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

i don't have one of these (at least this model), but i'd love to dump one of my completed songs into this and separate it out into stems to see how they sound compared to when i tracked the audio out originally i.e. if it separates out my bassline from a completed song, how much of the sonic character will match the original bassline when it was played & tracked out originally? if i separated out a lead synth in a finished song, what would the texture & artifacting be like compared to the original tracked out audio recording?

[@lbrown7164]

until you actually see this on your MPC hardware I would count on this yet. I would expect major problems year1 but I am sure they will get it right in due time

[@harrycrevecoeur3716]

Great video, very informative. Thank you for sharing.

[@BurningBushPedagogy]

This is fun for those who can't create their own thing, or maybe the lazy producer, I think some of us need to start copyrighting even our individual stems too. I mean it's fun because it used to be impossible to extract a single instrument from a stereo mix, but now you can, but you have to and make sing from another's song. Almost no more new tracks again. I will prefer to see how they did the songs I really and then, find ways to get that flavour, and making my own stuffs, yes it might not be as quick as using someone else's work, but it's fulfilling when you create something yourself or with others. I mean almost any sound you hear from a drum you can find a similar sample. Akai needs to improve the sequencer, so we can mute even individual drum elements anytime. And also, ability to locate any section of the measures, the older groovebox could press shift and fast forward, and play will start from the last bar and begin again, that way you add extra things to create you little variations, fills to the last bar, that is not possible in the Akai sequencer, because they care about sequencing creation whatever you want. No groove quantize, only swing, these people are not musicians at Akai. Well, let me maybe I can create my own product a standalone that almost everyone will stop using the laptop from the music creation process.

[@marcusx3605]

If you check the mpc stem email they actually leaked a new mpc.. look at the button placement on the first picture.. that’s not a red mpc one plus. It’s something different.. mpc mini maybe? Mpc key 37? Interesting.. looking for your take on it

[@djsoo]

i think you they put everything on the same pad so you can use the pad layer volumes to select what you want to use in the pad

Did anyone notice that in Akai's email - MPC Stems: a new era in sampling - that the red MPC shown in the email is NOT an MPC-ONE? The MPC-ONE doesn't have buttons under the screen like that and they're not the buttons on the MPC-Live II either or the ones on the MPC-X. Hmm... and Winter NAMM is close too...
