MPC STEMS: A NEW ERA IN SAMPLING

[@vertigev]

Let's take a moment to thank Akai for all the wonderful and FREE updates they have brought to MPC and Force over the years. THANK YOU!

[@AkaiProVideo]

Appreciate the positive vibes!

Will this be an update for the MPC One also?

@@cody1363yes all the new mpc series

[@WorldReggae24]

That’s a game changing function that I dreamt of. Will buy that ASAP when it’s released. Thank you, Akai. You made everything possible!

[@WorldReggae24]

@@RobG_inMusicBrands Hi Rob, any chance that inMusic Brand can make all those new plugins like Jura and Delay Pro available for manually download like the previous Synth Content Manager? As a MPC ONE user it bothers me a lot when there’s no Ethernet connection around. Pls make it happen soon, thank you.

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

Most likely its going to be an update just saying

[@lglagos2571]

Yes! Will it be in the next firmware update?

[@DaBuddyComToX]

RipX, Spectralayers and serato studio does it to ! Nice to see this implemented in MPC softwares

[@DeeMaxum]

​​@@DaBuddyComToXyup, as well as serato sample, and FL Studio now..... Seems like all the companies are implementing stem separation now... I'm Not sure how far back stem separation technology goes, But I've been using it since isotope RX7 a few years ago

[@beatcraftsecrets]

Oh ya'll going crazy! Well done Akai. I have a feeling this is going to be a much talked about moment in the history of the MPC.

[@MyNameJeff..]

Akai just keeps killing it constantly!! Started with maschine in 2012, absolutely fed up with ni. Sold the plus weeks ago, because the live 2 is just a beast. Best piece of gear I have ever owned.

[@KultClassic]

Best decision you made, often imitated never duplicated 👍🏼

[@KultClassic]

@deathknell5167 i have mpc x which i use with software and in standalone. You dont need anything more other than 3rd party effects and plugins at most.

[@deebaker4671]

@deathknell5167That’s not totally true, hardware is still very relevant. Many companies went totally software based and people wanted hardware. The best is using both, hybrid !!

[@lotekpro]

Well after 30+ years I'm still using hardware, in combination with software. Don't listen to anyone that says hardware is "outdated" that is absolute nonsense. 🤦‍♂️It's actually impossible to be completely software based anyway. Microphones, preamps and audio interfaces are all pieces of hardware 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ so is the computer for that matter. 🤷‍♂️ The MPC ONE is basically a portable computer. It's runs very complex software and works in much the same way as a DAW...in fact it is by definition a DAW 🤷‍♂️

[@alexandrosroussos]

Akai Pro always on top for listening to their customers ! And if that wasn't enough, a brillant demo by Andy as usual 🤩

[@AndyMacMPCclub]

Thank you Alex.

[@zoolhert3535]

​@@AndyMacMPCclub that was an amazing demo Andy as allways.. will this be available for the Force Mate?

[@iamnekoaires8262]

It’s funny because 3 days ago a Mpc group I’m in on facebook popped up a question what new features would you want in the Mpc software. And this is what I had said. Now it’s here. Speak it into existence 😅

[@andrejalil]

Unreal. I wish I had this 15 years ago. I’m coppin!!!

[@ghoodfellah]

FINALLY!!!!!! stop falling behind in the sample world MPC! Y'all are the originals. Thanks for remembering!❤

[@QuietKidMusik]

[@wylatron]

Holy moly that sounds clean! Can’t wait to rock out using this on the Force! Way to hit it out of the park Akai!

[@KultClassic]

This is insane. This is a sample users dream.

[@cs-np9gc]

something we all needed and they're delivering beautifully. i'm soo hype for this update

[@iceygivenz3117]

I am crying inside and out. MPC just change the game. Well done and thank you for what we all wanted. Who is staying in the lab for months with me when this comes live. I am speechless.

[@melo5332]

Great addition Akai, this changes everything

[@CodySmiley]

4 years delay :) But it's good to see something like this.

[@blakasmurf]

@@CodySmiley Yeah lol source separation has been around for a little while. I'm surprised this wasn't priority before. If I were Akai, I'd have tried to be first with this

[@simcax6087]

​@@CodySmileyWell it's on a more than 10 years old mobile cpu...

[@OneMountainNine]

⁠​⁠@@blakasmurfUsing a parametric EQ or filters with panning is how it was done in the past. Masking has come a long way towards making things stand out. Phase cancellation worked ok for centred sounds like vocals (old skool). Now it’s easy with Rx

[@blakasmurf]

@@OneMountainNine This is a complete AI implementation now. So it's much cleaner than how we "used to" do it. Even better than what Izotope Rx had a little while back. But it's been around since 2020. I'm surprised Akai wasn't on this first. Serato's had it for at least a year now as far as I know

[@Noise-Conductor]

Akai is starting off the new year with a bang! Can't wait for stems to make it to the Force. Chopping the sample once & converting it to other stems while keeping the chops also works for other processes like converting stereo samples to mono-L Sum, & mono-R. Still wish it could change samples in real time like the Sound parameter in the Drum program editor like JJOS 2XL. Anyway this powerful update gives me hope that a higher quality Reverb FX & better Wrapping may come later.

Was it announced that it will be on the Force?

[@biggiefan4life860]

The world of sampling has just changed for the better... Akai has just put everybody on notice

[@leftovernoise]

Hopefully this will come to the force eventually

[@RoyMaya]

This will come to everything eventually. This is a no-brainer function that any DAW should have.

[@dugnice]

Seems that it won't even come to the MPC software until the end of March, if it doesn't end up being delayed or scrapped altogether. The official website states that it launches in March. We're more than halfway through the month and no sign of it's release.

[@geoffwidmier3714]

Just when I didn't think could love my MPC more. I don't even do a lot of sampling, but with stem separation, that might change. My only hope is we will get this as part of an update, instead of having to spend another $100 for another plugin.

[@alfredschnozzenstein1657]

This brings me tears of joy... for all my fellow beat makers and producers out there, who have came across that one sample that had everything in it that they were looking for to make a game changing beat, but couldn't due to the limitations of taking apart a sample, and the closest you came to it was using a plugin that lowered the sounds of drums and it STILL sounded like sh*t.... please, do your thing, and do what you work with justice. It's time for us to do the things we couldn't before. Now, we can dig up those samples we couldn't use, and the possibilities are endless. Thank you Akai.

I've had this idea in my mind for more than 15 years, back when I was on the MPC 2000 classic. Crazy how it's finally a reality. There have been sooo many samples I’ve come across that had dope drums on them but never had an open drum break to sample them. This is a definite game changer for Akai and MPCs.

[@seriooous]

I already completely accepted that this wasn’t possible outside the box which moved me away from using samples. Now i am actually quite surprised

[@walerandei]

Really a Game-changer tool! Akai is the only manufacturer that still think about sampling a genuine creative way! The other brands just make toys! The only thing that still miss in the Akai hardware (as stand-alone), is a good reverb effect. With stems and a nice reverb MPC's would be the best samplers of all times!

[@thebrunoserge]

Funny enough the "Iconic MPC Workflow" seems to be a point of contention for many. I bought an MPC One and my god this thing is HARD and unintuitive to work with. I've been a designer of interfaces for professional applications for 20 years and yeah you can "get used to MPC workflow but it's by no means a quick and easy learning curve. Heck there's MPC youtubers literally making videos about learning the workflow, and still themselves taking YEARS to get familiar with the basic workflow enough to create beats the way we see Ableton Push artists do

[@HolidayInGuantanamo]

I think some of it is sunk cost fallacy. Or whatever is the tool you started with, that's the one that becomes intuitive. Would love to hear about whats the issues with MPC vs Ableton workflows (I dont know either one)

[@QuesoFresc]

As a MPC user I started straying away from MPC and more towards fl just bcuz workflow was faster. Always been more creative on MPC and this changes the game for me again. Hope it comes as an update

[@donartyone3258]

Amazing. PLEASE add the option to stem out sample chops to the 4 sample slots of the pads within the same program. Having separate programs for each stem layer is great but not always ideal. The added flexibility of my request makes sense for this feature.

[@drfangaz-pronouncedlikefan4019]

Totally unnecessary

[@donartyone3258]

@@drfangaz-pronouncedlikefan4019Other users in the community have expressed interest in seeing this implemented for obvious reasons. For instance: You may not want or need this degree of separation every time you chop a sample. You may just want the drums removed and process/sequence the rest of the sample more traditionally as one program in order to avoid having to mix/master/automate four separate programs the same way. In standalone this would be tedious and may eat up valuable cpu/ram.
