I'm using NI Maschine Expansions On My AKAI MPC ONE?!? Kit Maker

A video about how to use NI Maschine expansions on the AKAI MPC using Kit Maker. Kit Maker is a software for Windows and Mac that converts drum kits into usable files for the MPC, Beatmaker, etc.! This is great for sound designers!

[@KitMakerApp]

Great video Ave! I just wanted to emphasize that it also can make kits from ANY samples you own, including Splice or Loopmasters etc! Check out our videos and website for more info ;)

[@eugen.sa138]

Hey! Does it copy layered pads and processed samples as well?

[@chenchaso39]

This might be a game changer this probably takes over what I was trying to do with what the akai provides the expansions maker OK but quick question does it have to be installed on the computer or can I just have the downloaded sample pack and just use that?

[@KitMakerApp]

@@chenchaso39 it has to be installed on the computer

[@bcbbanga4l]

@@KitMakerApp the kitmaker software needs to be installed i understand that. ALso i did just purchased and card was charged but never got anything to download.

[@EnfernoMuzik]

Can you turn akai kits to maschine expansions???

[@kumoshinagi5213]

Bought this immediately! It's only $25 bucks with the initial sale right now and looks to be wayyyy easier than using Akai's Drumset creator. Thanks for the heads up, Ave!

I wish I'd caught that sell NI had 2 days ago lol

Man!!!! That’s a game changer.. NI has the best kits.. MPC USERS ARE DOING THE TWO STEP AFTER SEEING THIS video.

[@AveMcree]

we win lol

[@paidinfull7866]

You're one of my favorite channels on KZbin honestly Ave. I always learn something new from you.

[@darrinbisson8914]

Thanks for this! I searched all over and didn’t see anything like this. NI have some good expansion bundles from time to time so this would be handy

[@JoshElliottMusic]

Thanks Ave! I’m so happy about this! I just returned my Machine+ for a faulty midi in port and a lot of crashing. BUT I fell in love with the Maschine expansions. It’s great news that I can use Maschine Expansions easily in my MPC One as well as easily make custom packs.

[@Soundtraxtv]

DJ Ave is That Dude! Thanks for sharing. this is the most useful tool I've come across in a while!

[@MSNGR415]

I’ve been a maschine user for a while. Been looking into the mpc because now I work on a mostly dawless setup but the one loose end is the maschine needing my computer on. Been thinking about a mpc one with the new update … seeing this video completely made my mind up… I can have the best of both worlds in the mpc. If only it worked with vst’s it would be the absolute holy grail of units.

[@jhbo84]

Ahhh thank you! man i swear you're the only one on here talking about the akai force, that's making any sense. appreciate all the knowledge ...keep it up please and thank you

[@CarolineJones1994]

This was a life saver, been using all my expansions in Ableton, about to buy some akai expansions as well

[@dragonheatbeats9944]

Just purchased it...can’t wait til my MPC One arrives so I can put it to good use Thx for the dope video

[@BkBangatv]

Definitely speeds up the work flow we used to have to drag in each wav on a pad and recreate the kits. This is a handy dandy. Good looks. #keepbangin

[@Sol_Keez]

My MPC One should be arriving today Ave. Definitely will be getting more MPC Expansions and seeing what I can convert from NI. This is dope!

[@FCTHETRUTH]

You cookin up the fire tutorials lately 🔥🔥🔥 im like kitmaker wtf is that ... then im like wow 🙌🏾

[@arsenalhendrix]

I purchased this instantly when I saw the ad. Loving it.

[@geezytwoeleven]

Hey bro, do you have the faded reels converted to MPC expansion?

[@vlove888]

Thanks for this vid man! I was waiting for this one👍🏾

[@shawnmanifestit]

Thanks for sharing this info, definitely about to buy it today!

[@jaimerodriguez1550]

Those expansions are heat. Great tutorial for something that works with Akai MPC style pads so well.

[@JAdeWii_]

My mpc live 2 been getting mad love lately 😍 Got kit maker a while ago for ableton, can’t wait to try this!

[@levonjones907]

thanks for the video ave. was looking for something like this bought right after the video

This was a very informative video thank you bro keep up the great work ✌

Yes! I didn't know this existed. Thanks ave!

[@BeatzByBiz]

Oh good looking out for this 1 my guy! Im on it!!!!😈

[@tamarastanley8391]

😊🤗😎 That just resolved three months of agony..I love them..I have so much stuff.. twenty years of sounds..And NI was just another headache to get into the MPC... Thanks Ave

[@AkatsukiBK]

Looks good, getting it today. Glad to see your audio lip sync issue is gone also!!

[@kennyhypa73]

dis guy is sick I'm subscribing !!

[@marclemar]

Ave I felt like ya intro was a personal attack!!! As you know I bought Abelton Live and Push 2 last year and still haven’t committed to converting fully I just can’t give up Maschine/MK3

[@KitMakerApp]

the app converts the libraries into Ableton kits as well. Works great on the Push 2. Check out our ableton video on our channel

[@williamocosby]

Bro! I really don't understand how anyone could give this a thumbs down. I guess haters gone hate.

[@MichaelGilboe]

I have been dying to find something like this. I went and bought it immediately. And it was so easy. Converted all 50 expansions I had in about 20 minutes!

[@dragonheatbeats9944]

Michael Gilboe just drums or does this work with melodies too?

[@MichaelGilboe]

Dragon Heat Beats it just converts the kits

[@eedoeseedoes4873]

have you got an email i can contact you on to buy these kits off you

[@staticisnoise]

Great video, super helpful!!!!

[@ZombCity]

Good looks 🔥

[@djagentm]

Yeah I beta tested this. I always wanted to make MPC Expansions. It’s so easy with this. Also got NanoStudio the other day. Now I can use my drums with this.

[@AveMcree]

Aaaaaye

[@Imakebeats65]

scooped it up first day as well looking forward to what else it can do

[@coold6838]

This is really a great tool. I also was a Beta tester. I got the Beta around the same time I bought the 9 Maschine Expansions that were on sale for $99! Now I have all 300+ of those kits as Beatmaker 3 kits on my Ipad!

[@AveMcree]

I missed out on that

[@derbinhamler2103]

@@AveMcree I was on the fence about doing it because I already had a bunch of expansions including the 9 N.I. offered in a similar deal around 2014. Kit Maker was the deciding factor because it allows me to use them in BM3, in my MPC Touch and with iMPC Pro 2. I feel like I'm getting a lot more for my money.

[@RunTheTrackMusic]

yea you can do this within the maschine daw too but have to do it kit by kit within each expansion...which , if you have a lot of maschine expansions like most do....is f#@*ing time consuming!....this is def. worth the money for time saving purposes ! Thanks for the link

[@CMane]

I've had my eye on this piece of software for a bit now, because being able to make some go to kits would be a breeze to add to my workflow. I don't use Maschine... but, I do use Akai software, LPX and several iOS applications. . 🤔 Thanks for the tutorial!

Man you gone make NI do a hit on yo a$$. I have the Maschine Studio and the Mpcx. I love the workflow of the Mpcx better. This is perfect!! love it.

[@AveMcree]

😂the Maschine will get an amazing update in June.

[@KitMakerApp]

Ha. We love NI. They've been marketing their Expansions for use in other DAWs for a couple years now. We are just helping by turning those sounds into kits ;)

[@MakingMadBeats]

@@AveMcree Who confirmed this to you 😉?! I guess this is nothin' official right 😎??

[@defmaster88]

Dope!

[@SamuMusical-Aprendatocar]

I love it

[@BlezzBeats]

Nice! Extreme timesaver. If AKAI implemented a tag system like Maschine's too AND they were converted imagine that.

[@AveMcree]

You mean like being able to search for certain files? There's a search system but it's reliant on naming the files properly. Example, splice and sounds.com has a file naming system via csv. As far as favoriting drums. I dpibt it will happen as Akai sucks at updating stuff😂.

[@BlezzBeats]

@@AveMcree I mean like all samples can have various tags so if you want a mellow didgeridoo you can query them by checking multisampled instruments, jungle reed and soft for example. And favorite sounds too ofc!

[@AveMcree]

@@BlezzBeats "mellow didgeridoo" that made my day😂

@@KitMakerApp Imma check that one out today lol

[@cdot803]

Thanks for this! Love Battery 4 sounds but hate battery. Does it copy the artwork too?

[@KyddRookie]

Omfg!!! That’s sick!!! Can it convert like midi melody packs into xpm files instead of having to do it individually on the mpc software???

[@djagentm]

I think it goes for the drums. It will use any of the additional sounds like chord stabs that are on the pads.

[@mojodrum3215]

Is there a way you can attach a jpeg photo to your kits per folder so that this photo is setup the way akai does it with there expansions or do you have to use the mpc software.

[@pawelgrund4540]

I've been waiting for sth like that forever. But when I get it right: It only converts the dry samples, doesn't it? I mean, many kit sounds were further processed with machine fx and on some pads there is a massive (or other insturment) sound. If I get it right this wouldn't be included :-(

[@Ink0ne415]

Peace I’m on the MPC is it possible to make kit for banks A-H or will it only do the first 16 pads (bank A)?

[@KingArthur72076]

I got this BM3 and it works but have one problem. Two Maschine kits that I’ve tried, the HiHats sound weird...kind of distorted, or wrong bit rate or something. Not sure if it is a BeatMaker 3 issue or when it converts the kit. I couldn’t find a contact number or email to ask a question. Any suggestions?

[@certifiedbeatz]

Just bought it

[@djfuzzymusic1715]

Yo man. Thanks

[@ncifministries]

Naw Bruh you can keep Akai. Bought the MPC ONE....HATED IT and sent it back within 4 days. Bought another MK3 for my portable setup. Haven't looked back since. EXCELLENT VIDEO though. Very informative for those who use Akai...

[@lseven79]

Hi Ave, Question: can I transfer workflow between MPC ONE to Beatmaker 3 vice versa. Example: I'm making a beat on mpc one then transfer the beat to Beatmaker 3 to continue the workflow to go...then maybe back in the mpc one?..let me know. Thanks

[@AntwhaleNearfar]

Hi! I’m looking at the ORGANIC Vintage Pro Drum Samples expansion and it seems to be made for Maschine. Can you tell me if I could convert this particular expansion to MPC One format as well?? Thanks in advance!

[@DREAMVIZON8]

Can you make key groups instruments? or drums only

[@Execusiner1000]

Hi can I use this software to make sample kits for the MV-1 by Roland? You should make a video for that.

[@IDONTPLAYENT]

Does kit maker add the Maschine sounds with the effects on them. You know how each Maschine kit has effects so does the effects get backed into the mpc kit sounds

[@dopexmc7901]

So you can buy the Komplete13 collectors version and use it on the MPC one? just bought the One last week, thanks a lot.

[@els1f]

That was fucking dope😄

[@TKO9000]

I tried succees in drum kit but no convert instrumental? like a bass,synth, and no auditon like mpc does?

[@ricardomilice2470]

Ave Mcree , I just brought it, I remember in the video you said you was a beta tester. There one downside to this bro, unless I’m wrong and new to it. You cant audition your kit sounds before make them. Can you request it bro.

[@user-sx2iw2hq3l]

Hello Ave! 🖐️ I want to ask you about expansions. Are the all of these massive x and other expansions are compatible with Maschine plus in stand-alone mode? They are so cool, but I've heard they are not run. 😑😔😊 Thank you

[@claffmatic]

This software seems dope but how does it affect the kits with massive synths on them ???

[@ezi0n]

nice find I just wish it would colour code the pads as well and take the original previews and convert those over - maybe at a later stage ...

[@KitMakerApp]

no timeline promises but both are features we are wanting to add eventually ;)

[@cmwilliams357]

Can you drag & drop samples from the mpc beats free software into this kit maker to get ableton live 10 files?

[@ecosse33]

[@truechristianity74]

So there is a problem when I covert my maschine expansions to MPC they are not showing up in the MPC software when I drag and drop so what could that be

[@JAVIER-rh7iq]

I just bought it and it doesn’t convert anything other than the maschine library for me. I try other libraries and it just says that there’s no samples and doesn’t do anything. I’m using a Mac

Will this help with my problem ? I have a Native Instruments A49 keyboard and all the softwear that comes with it inc Komplete Kontrol. I also have MPC studio 2 controler, and the MPC softwear which also comes with it. Its driving me mad, as I want to USE the Softweare/sounds within the Komplete Kontrol Native intstruments and my A49 Keyboard along with MPC beats and sound inside the MPC Studio system. The MIDI in/out and the settings and the directors of where stuff is, is NOT easy, in fact it seems most of the time, either one works and other don't, or visa versa. then the stupud keyboard best known to its self decideds its not going to work, as some settings are off or wrong, its just not playing ball, Does this make half sense where I am coming from. spent hours and hours and hours no it, I can't work out, it messes with my head. Will this this system help me sort these setup issuse out by automating most or all the above
