MPC Midi to Ableton for Showtime in Standalone [ MPC Live/ One /X ]

[@NyakzOTSD]

Very insightful video!! Appreciate this.. I wanted to do it all via USB but what you did is great!! Game changer

[@SkyDeep]

Thanks for inspiring me to make this video with your initial question. Hope you keep enjoying your music making process! :)

[@NyakzOTSD]

@@SkyDeep no problem!! Keep hustling! I subscribed and hope to see more videos in general on the music making process!! I thought my Mpc was a waste of money but slowly seeing it is useable in my studio

Watching this video is going to change my studio set up as well as what will now be my main software. Thanks for sharing.

[@robbiemarsh100]

I officially love you ❤❤❤…..I’ve been trying to hook up my Roland Fantom running Ableton with my recently purchased Live 2. Been at it for days, watching loads of KZbin vids. And finally, all explained. It was enabling Ableton in sync receive that had eluded me. Thanks so much xxxx

[@BuckleyDotCom]

Thanks for this video! I laughed out loud when one of your Wi-Fi networks was labeled "It Hurts when IP" :) :) :) Thanks Again!

[@SkyDeep]

🤣 ah you caught that huh? Thanks for tuning in!

[@SteveHorne]

Great job! I have been struggling with making this work through USB, but using MIDI makes a lot of sense. I appreciate your clarity and to-the-point style as well!

[@SkyDeep]

Thanks for the feedback and for watching, Steve.

I had no idea that you could jump back to the main window and enter notes while ableton is recording. Great tutorial. although ableton recording is a bit clunky, that tip at least makes it usable

[@jerzboybeats]

Thus the name MPC midi production center. I believe today we have gotten so used to usb and threw away midi. I will try to see the difference between the Live2 and the Force work flow with midi. You have a new subscriber. This helped me out a lot thanks. @Sky Deep.

[@SkyDeep]

Indeed. Have fun and Thanks for watching and subscribing.

💥😂😂 you're funny. Sure bebez.thanks much for your sweet feedback 😀

[@arrasssta]

love your video and dynamics! just wondering, is there a way to record audio using the MPC Live 2 as an audio input on ableton? Or maybe a way to record MIDI/Audio on standalone mode and throw it on my live project. it feels like tho i can open my Live scene on control mode and still play on main, they dont REALLY integrate.

[@peturmagnason]

You had me at ping pong baby

[@SuperQuazemodo]

Very dope video maybe i should try this ableton thing out. Logic is my go to but bc of this feature for my mpc one...may need to check it out. I have the force also i think this works the same there if im not mistaken. Keep banging ma i enjoy what u do.

[@the_impossible_kid]

I think you have to use the ethernet cable with the mpc one. I don't think the one has ableton link.

[@SuperQuazemodo]

@@the_impossible_kid yes u have to use the cable but its suppose to work the same once connected

[@SkyDeep]

Hey Ronald. Thanks for watching and the kind words. I also work with logic but ableton has me covered so well with the music and my various devices. I mostly use Logic when I'm doing post audio for films. Ableton is totally worth it, especially if you get to use it with your MPC workflow.

[@SuperQuazemodo]

@@SkyDeep thank u so much im going to definitely look into it.

[@Bolxeyo]

When I go to MPC menu> live control, it says waiting for communication from Ableton live... How do I fix this?

[@pratikjoshi8335]

Hi Sky Nice to see your video its so helpful Thank you for it. I want to know How we can load our sample in to the MPC live ? I did but problem is Its not running as a loop its just run one time so i am so confused how to fix this could you please advise me in this ?

[@habemusfyah]

I'm using a cheap ethernet adapter on the Live Mk1 connected to the computer and it works amazing. I use "Remote Midi" as I don't have a midi interface and it sends midi via ethernet to Ableton, both from the MPC pads and the midi keyboard plugged into it. I did not yet tested if I can also use the MPC as an audio interface at the same time, but apparently not, I would have to turn on MPC in controller mode :/

[@MediaMusik777]

with new clips launch you could export your abelton stems and trigger them like abelton in standalone mode on mpc

[@artinsidethebus]

omg how fun are you! my doppelganger hahaha vr tech geek musician lets make things!

[@prismsoundstv]

Great stuff!

[@P.G.901]

Hi Sky Deep . I would like to know can i choose any brand midi interface? Also do the ethernet cable run from the mpc to laptop or form the interface to laptop?

[@SkyDeep]

Hi. Any midi interface should be good for this concept. About the ethernet: if you have MPC One then you can connect it direct to your computer I think. I will run some tests in the studio today to double check. I have the Live but can try it out with my USB to ethernet adapter. But otherwise, here my other video of another possibility by using a small portable wifi device. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2bXfGaVmdh8d5o

[@mikeross8386]

Did you end up testing the ethernet cable in regards to the mpc one?

[@miguelmenendez3419]

And if you connected via usb de akai mic one to you Mac computer works? or you have to connect via MIDI cable the Akai and your interface? Also I wanted to know if it works without wifi connection cause I have the Mac ONE and no possible to connected all the time to the router. THANK U

@@SkyDeep your welcome; to me its the best mpc ever created.

[@SkyDeep]

Agreed!

[@milesmacquarrie1188]

Thank you for this very helpful video! I do have a question though and I'm confused about 1 thing: Could I hook all my hardware synths and mpc live up to a usb hub that goes to my computer and do this the same way? For instance, I'd like to decide if I'm going to sequence my hardware synths and record midi into Ableton or my MPC without changing setups.

[@SkyDeep]

Hi! My pleasure! To answer your question: if you choose to sequence your hardware synths with the MPC Live via USB connector, then your hub must be connected directly to the MPC as the host. Then, using the same technique in this video, you can record your sequences there first and then transfer those sequences into Ableton Live by real-time recording the midi tracks. You just have to make sure there's no latency issues so your intended timing remains how it should sound. If you arm Ableton for recording, then whichever midi is coming from the MPC will be sent over.

[@milesmacquarrie1188]

@@SkyDeep Thank you! I think I'll do it your way and have the usb hub connected to Ableton, but then try to connect the midi din ins and outs from mpc to my audio interface. Heres hoping I don't get feedback loops!

[@SkyDeep]

@@milesmacquarrie1188 sounds like a plan. Let me know how you like it 🙂👍🏾

[@flowwolf420]

Hey I forget I got one question. Is it possible to send midi or at least audio from my mpc internal synths like hype, in standalone, straight into ableton to make the arrangement over there? Would be appreciating some advice. Cheers

[@SkyDeep]

Yes this is totally possible, but it might make the most sense to use the MPC plugin inside of Ableton while using your MPC in controller mode.

[@worldcreation2028]

thank you

[@skyout9284]

you can also make this work through wifi and akai network driver

Is it possible to map with pads from MPC live a drum rack from ableton and record it? Thank You for your help!

[@Romenet310]

Hi Sky. Thanks for this video. I have a mpc live 2 and use the remote connection to Ableton. It keeps randomly disconnecting. I have to reboot the mpc and then it works ok again until it disconnects again. I also have midi keyboard plugged directly into usb. If anyone has any idea what this, please let me know. Thanks.

[@daisyroberts7401]

Good Stuff 💚

[@christopherburke3533]

Quick question what version of ableton are you using I been going back-and-forth whether I should get the full version or not

[@SkyDeep]

I'm using the full suite of Ableton 10. For me, it has been worth it to not have any limits plus the various packs that come with.

[@prettyricky5798]

Where can i get that mpc stand ??

[@mariekoutnever]

Very helpful. Thank you very much.

[@SkyDeep]

You're welcome!

[@Solidsoundfx]

Dous it work with the mpc one? I don’t think it has the clip screen on the mpc

[@p.c513]

Could someone tell me if it is possible to do the same operation with a Drum Rack from ableton?? Thank You!! 😇

[@JayRitter-q3g]

Much easier to just use something like the APC40 Mk2 or Push2 and the MPC, can do so much more with the MPC that way

[@avar7414]

Hey Sky Deep! I need help! My MPC Live (Firmware 2.7) won't connect with Live Control. It allows midi output to Ableton though... Any ideas?

[@ned_interrobang]

same. my mpc one wont even allow my firmware to update! when i go to my menu i have no "live control" option, and standalone mode in ableton is total trash and useless. i'm giving this another month, and if i can't get this to work with ableton, i'm selling it. rather just get a Push 2 or something. fuck it.

[@SkyDeep]

Hi! @Ava R That sounds very strange! Sorry that's happening for you. Perhaps you might need to update to the next one, 2.9.1. I'm sure firmware 2.7 was the first time this function became available but it may have had some bugs that Akai needed to work out.

[@SkyDeep]

@baconhanger Have you tried getting in touch with Akai support about it? I hope someone can support you more directly. Sounds like a frustrating issue. Perhaps you might need to do a hard reset back to factory default settings and then approach the firmware update again? How's is been going the past few days?

[@YOUrDEAlerwiThHell]

Does this work with Mpc One?

[@martin_quarto]

One question, how useful is having MPC Live with integrating into Ableton? How does this compare to something like Push 2?

[@SkyDeep]

Hi. Sorry for the late answer! I find it VERY useful when I want to combine my standalone elements with other functions from the DAW. Sometimes it helps to combine workflows. Also, Sometimes I use Live as an additional sound module. I prefer to make my transition elements in Live. I've never really used Push 2 but my studio mate has one. Maybe I'll ask to try it out.

[@drsaggamusic]

What about scales?

[@raerios5571]

Can this be done on the mpc touch?? Thanks

[@SkyDeep]

Hi! I'm not so sure because the MPC touch requires a USB connection and computer to be used anyways. I believe it's just a controller. Since I've never owned a Touch, I can't really test it out to properly answer your question.

[@BsYtHandle]

Sounds like you actually have a teaching qualification? So great to see a woman doing this. Anyway, imma listen. Back at the end.

[@SkyDeep]

Yes indeed. I actually have a UK PG Cetification in higher education and teach at a private music University in Germany too. Thanks for tuning in.

[@drepost6126]

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@charlescowper]

can yo not just use a usb cable? thanks

[@crasheffort]

You can use the usb out of the mpc to send midi. The ableton link control features require a network connection using an either net cable or wifi on an mpc that has it.

I’m just dumb can’t figure it out

You are definitely NOT dumb. I found out that Akai changed the software drivers but didn't tell everyone. Mine stopped working after one of the firmware updates.... it took another half year before i learned of the new driver. Cideo coming soon after i testvagain with the new recent updates

i do this all but ya know what it is a mess why not open the sounds or daw what you want and record all real time with RACK EFFECTS IN TO A REAL TABLE hehehe all that connect and techniques is taking away my creativity and in the end it is all about the music sound and performance i cant understand that all that tweaking got something to do with SPIRITUAL MUSIC because thats what it is MAGIC comes from the heart dont ROBOT YOUR MUSIC SKILLZ
