How I use Maschine Expansions with MPC Live 2 | Kit Maker Tutorial

I have always loved Maschine but I recently had an affair with my MYC Live 2. I wanted the best of both worlds so I learned about a great tool called Kit Maker which would allow me to have my cake (and eat it too).

A Tip After you Covert it in KitMaker, Drop it in Akai expansion builder’ you can put the icon and it shows up under expansions and choke group works!! it’s literally just like NI made a kit for the Mpc I see a lot of videos people just use KitMaker but if you use it with expansion builder takes an extra three minutes you get a complete XPN File with jpeg photo of the expansion pack that you can browse under expansions and standalone mode.

This is great!!!!!!!! I had no idea! Thank you!

I lost my MPC expansion on a bad HD. I just found the xports I saved on a HD I forgot. How do I use the xpanson builder to get them back in

[@novich63]

Is there a video showing the process of enabling the choke groups in the expansion builder after they have been converted?

[@salix5380]

dope

[@MondstaubMusik]

Good insight into Kitmaker. Thanx man. Just got the PresetMaker App from them. Now i have work laid out for the next few days converting the tons of samples i have into keygroup instruments and kits.

Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply! More videos coming soon!

I would love if you could release some converted packs❤️ It would really help new people get into the MPC stand alone eco system.

[@brentwatters]

That is a great idea! Maybe I’ll try and create a tool kit for new users? I’m a little wary of releasing these packs simply because they are from Native Instruments but I could create some samples!

[@gigamaxmusic]

@@brentwatters if you're not charging money for the kits, it's not going to be a problem. The worst case scenario is they send you an email or the link gets reported and taken down. You are in no actual financial/legal danger for your own liability.

I can't get kontakt 7 to show up when i scan for new plug-ins ? Can you help me please? i'm a beginner using the mpc live 2

[@brentwatters]

Hello! Kontakt in ableton?

[@dubsidebeats3399]

​@brentdoesmusic4688 i don't have ableton can i not use it on mpc no ?

[@brentwatters]

@dubsidebeats3399 hello, the MPC does not support 3rd party plugins like kontakt. It only supports Akai plug ins

[@dubsidebeats3399]

@@brentwatters I've seen it been used in other videos on the mpc it can be done

[@brentwatters]

@dubsidebeats3399 can you drop a link to a video showing it being used on a MPC live (and not in the MPC desktop application)

[@tonybalognavich2491]

Does this work with kontakt instruments?

[@brentwatters]

I don’t believe so. The maschine expansions are easier to use as they are already on a 16 pad grid layout.

[@tonybalognavich2491]

@@brentwatters use kitconverter it costs 30 bucks and you can convert all or your NI expansions to mpc format and they are automatically layed out in the classic format... i just did it like 20 mins ago.. it even sounds better on the mpc

[@brentwatters]

Thanks! I tried googling kit converter and couldn’t find anything. Do you have a link to it?

[@tonybalognavich2491]

@@brentwatters its called kitmaker not kitconverter... my bad

Oh awesome! That is actually what I use too! It is great!

Yo So like MIDI Too ?

[@brentwatters]

Naw no midi unfortunately. Just the sounds, mapping, and preview files

[@soundboy605]

@@brentwatters I was wondering if someone has developed a way of doing that, as they do come with MIDI sequences
