having the computer not show in any shot making this look like its stand alone is crazy

[@spincitynyc809]

I thought this was the new stem video...LMAO wow. They got me for my $10 bucks, but thyey let you use the same license for stand alone

[@nickdeezproductionz]

Love to see Marco Polo doing the demo there is no better person you could’ve picked to showcase boom bap with MPC

[@DJREZEREKT]

Maybe preemo

[@jensunray1]

If there was a time to bring back the old school this is it. All of those breaks are now open to be seperated ...thankyou stems...its what we all wished we could separate in the past...now made real X

[@snubdawg1386]

and did you used any of those seperated breaks?

[@GustavoSantos-gz7uj]

We want the standalone stems akai WTF

[@shoontz]

They just dropped!

Not buying until standalone is ready

what do you mean ?

[@ThaMizphit74]

@@jasonbrowne007 He means it's not ready for standalone. The hardware version didn't release today.

[@Jack-ri1kh]

I don't know why he relies on their software. if people want to use a computer they will go with fl or ableton.

[@RichardCyberPunk]

@@user-fw6lm1tn5p agreed. Its a shame, that Akai released the MPC+ with only Wifi/Bluetooth change. why not 2 -> 4 gig ram !

[@theycallmeheat]

This cook up was dope!! But that beat in the background is definitely some classic sounding Marco!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@B-Nice]

Sweet, Finally STEMS for standalone is almost ready to be announced when it's ready!!!!! 🎉

[@kingzthevessel7281]

That beat was fire. Stems is going to change the way producers make beats now.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

until yall clearly state that its not ready for standalone (typing this on launch day 3/26), all this imagery is misleading since the computer is out of frame in every shot despite this being controller mode

[@decaystar]

It is kinda misleading that the computer is hidden, so you have the feeling that this is working in standalone mode...

[@ryanreedtv3242]

Making beats on the mpc in controller mode is so much better though anyway imo

[@decaystar]

@@ryanreedtv3242 I guess the point in having an MPC is gone, if you do it all on a PC anway?

[@ChrisP3000x]

@@ryanreedtv3242 No, it's way worse.

[@amillionbeats1]

@@decaystarthat makes no sense you can have it in. Controller mode and never touch the computer . Your just using the computer for storage and processing power. Initially I felt the same and used my mpc in standalone for about a year , I hooked it up to the computer one day and never looked back. Standalone is nice but I forget I’m attached to the computer .

[@renechang2406]

Lol that's what I'm thinking. It looks like stand alone but everyone is saying not on stand alone yet. Which brings me to the conclusion that what you said is probably correct.The daw in the computer is hidden .

[@SelfSoulfuric]

Marco always brings the heat

[@hailnaryproductionz3661]

Dam!!!! My excitement just went back down 😢😢😢😢!!!! I’ll just use my Serato stems as software until the standalone version will supposedly be released for the MPC

[@themayne6303]

I remember sitting around in the studio in the early part of the 90’s talking about the day when we will be able to separate songs into stems for more flexibility. We predicted that by 2013 or so it would be here.

[@extraniceness]

Super excited about the stems feature, I hope they release the Standalone version soon, also very happy to see Marco Polo reviewing this, I got to meet him and Masta Ace last yeat here in L.A. super nice and down to eart guys, just what you expect them to be 🎹💎👌👑🎧🤜🔥

[@darthknowl9222]

I got this today. Having a bit of trouble getting it to activate, but I can see myself spending mad time in the Batcave getting it in

[@AndyMacMPCclub]

The servers are having a few activation issues due to the overwhelming response of MPC Stems launch! This will be resolved shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[@darthknowl9222]

@@AndyMacMPCclub I can see that. It’s okay. I got it, I’m good. I’m just extremely happy that it’s here. Long as it works, I’m good

Sounds like the sound from the movie psycho. That’s the sound of Norman Bates from the shower scene 😭😂😂😂😂

[@yesyesyor]

I need a Standalone version

[@mpc_dude]

Akai has said that a software version will be released first. The standalone version will be released later. Nobody has said that this will happen soon. Thank you Akai! You a GOAT!

[@mpc_dude]

@@user-fw6lm1tn5p I can understand that people are pissed because most people don't even use the software. I don't use it either.... At the moment I can't even log in to my profile because I think the servers are being scrambled. That's really crazy considering nobody uses the software.... 🤣

Koala sampler had this for years. The quality is better on mpc but for creative process you can’t beat having a sampler in your pocket…

[@denmarksoul1184]

Koala has stems?

[@djjayski]

@@denmarksoul1184 Yep Koala and Serato Studio had this since at least early 2023. AKAI has done it wayyy better though.

[@Beatslager]

Stems make sample based beatmaking much more fun I think ! Its like getting the instrumental version from the artist themselfs!

[@GKnightent]

Marco Polo is Great

[@blkgostnone4092]

Fun times for the Studio owners 😉

[@Steph_7d7]

Its time for an xr21, with all the improvements one can think of. Keep the simplicity of the xr20 ui and add more features and a real synth engine and multiple 5 pin midi outs. Ive already got my main synth rig so i just want an updated xr20 style drum machine to pair it with.

[@Flaytt744]

Thanks AKAI....finally here...much love.

[@carlosm8303]

Dope video. Akai has me super interested.

[@theseoldbeats]

This has been around for fucking yeeeeeeears. Kanye made a special audio player for it and even he was late to the party 🎉😅

[@chillmanhillman2946]

Big up Marco always! But deffo waiting till it’s stand alone.

[@forbeatssake1530]

That ESG record has never been officially reissued as far as I know. The tracks have been comped but they’re not at 45rpm which is needed to sound like a the UBB version.

[@djla4558]

Excited 😮🎉

[@ikethompson9812]

Crazy tech 🤯

[@blueeyedboxer20008]

Would love to see this as a software only version to compete with Serato Sample but better quality separation.

[@simonyricools]

Brave new world where AI can separate the drum breaks from the James Brown screams, but a producer can't get his name spelled right in a video title.

[@ChrisP3000x]

Yeah, a BNW where a human made a spelling error. Amazing hot take. Please tell us more.

[@miscmisc1023]

i stem inside my live 2 record out through an external eq then sample into my 2000 xl or 2500

[@djpuzzleofficial]

Curious to see how it works with your Soundcloud. Like can peeps simply stem out the demos from your packs and gain access to the snares etc? How do you feel about that?

[@dre7sus]

Incredible... All I ask... Is that u guys have fine tuned the navigation... Get the sound of the machine right and you will have the perfect machine.... Remember.... We never brought these machines for the navigation... We brought them for the sound... 💯👑

[@tMena45888]

Look at that they actually released it for the software so far

[@BulgBeats]

🔥🔥🔥

[@dugnice]

I've updated my software to version 2.14.0 and have bought Stems, but when I go to the activation section of preferences to activate it, there's no activate button for it. I'm stuck and confused as to what the problem is.

[@AndyMacMPCclub]

The server issues have now been fixed. There’s a backlog of activations in the system which is causing your delay. Should take much longer.

[@GAMES_R_US826]

I invented this without knowing in 2003 using Sonic Foundry Acid program. I just always thought this was how sampling was done.

[@hardkore360]

Man Acid was the best before Sony bought them from Sonic Foundry
