MPC 3 Overview

[@Shraedar]

in the age where subscription services are the norm, updates cost money, and old devices becoming obsolete, there's Akai holding back the tide. I'm legitimately impressed that such a huge update is being brought to us for free, and still supports every device with a touch interface. This is one of the reasons that I will always be a proud owner of any of your hardware/software. You guys rock!

[@Jazman342]

It's making me want to spend the money on Key61. Not only for the hardware but for the added software, which I assume will be useable on my Force and Live2 as well.

[@staypth3195]

@@Jazman342 Got a key 61 a couple months before the key 37 was introduced and started regretting it bc of the key 37 midi feature. If you like using your daw as a module I recommend getting a key 37. Good Luck!

[@Jazman342]

@@staypth3195 OK Thanks for that. I'll have to look into the 37 further. Especially the midi, though I think I have all the midi connectivity I need for now and really wanted a bigger keybed. Had been looking at the Kontrol mk3 49 though for portability. Basically putting together a seperate more mobile rig. Have the s88 and a Firewire mixer, all running through an old retina MBP as a home studio. Got into MPC a couple of years ago, followed by Force, so MPC3 is pretty natural to me. Sort of caught between the MPC and the NI eco-systems though.

[@TheRealOBZRV]

They'll do all that eventually. They're a corporation with the sole purpose of cutting costs and making a profit. They're not our friends. 😂😂

@@staypth3195What MIDI feature? Wouldn’t Key 61 have the same features?

@@obscuresoundz I hear what you're saying. But it *is* a seven-year-old machine. What's amazing is how Akai has used those same internals (CPU and 2GB of RAM in 95 percent of MPCs sold) for this long. I do think a CPU and permanent upgrade to at least 4GB RAM is coming soon though.

That’s so so so true! This year is great for MPC users, first stems and now a complete new software version with hella useful features, hyped!!!

[@Jazman342]

Totally agree. It was my introduction to MPC and I liked it so much I also bought Force. Got half way through the video and went looking for the 'Take my money' button. Took a while to realise this was Beta only so far. May sign up for it but really, it may be a bit beyond my experience level atm. Will do if I know I can revert to current version if I choose though. Actually, the main reason I bought Force was for some of the features listed here. Mainly access features for live use in a 'one man band' situation.

I got an mpc live 1 in January and there has been so many improvements that I wanna get a live 2 just for the speaker 😂

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

Good bye programs! MIDI and Audio living together! An arranger and mixer all on the same page. I’m so happy!

[@elusivemite]

What arranger? It's a track overview. Has some basic audio editing but midi cant be arranged. It just shows what's in the track. The loss of programs while allowing changes to the mixer has killed my single sequence workflow off without intricate workarounds. Only 8 plugin tracks because you can't point a track to an existing plugin any more for duplication/variations Until we have Midi clips I'm on the fence with the direction.

[@PhoneNHe]

As someone who is not coming from the legacy of MPC. This low barrier of entry for me transitioning from a regular DAW workflow makes totally sense. This introduction only sets me to jam already on the MPC without headache. Thanks very much akai.

Will it be possible to set up empty midi clip region in arranger, say 8 bars, record into that region live where it first shows up in the timeline, and then have it auto-populate the recorded data to the copies of this midi region where they appears later in the timeline? This would be for live looping performances where you want a somewhat set arrangement, and would like to record certain sections of the song along the timeline and have them repeat at designated bars of the song as it progresses through the timeline?
