Force users: Like this comment to let Akai know we want Stems as well. Shout out to the Akai Pro Dev Team for a great release. Bringing a feature like STEMS to fruition in standalone is an impressive feat. Enjoy MPC users!

[@VTOLKits]

It will come for sure on the force....

[@boogie_scott]

I have no doubt that it will. Just wanted to spread some positivity. A win for the MPC is a win for the Force.

[@HectorHernandezM]

Upgrade the current Force. Its powerful as is.

[@HectorHernandezM]

Force need to be included in all mpc evolution

[@TheGonzBeats]

Force is one of the best products Akai has ever made. Hope they keep supporting with updates and features. *cough* 8 band EQ *cough*

Cool. When available also for Akai Force? 💥💥💥

[@igorground]

What about Force users?

[@ChopperDave42]

POS marketers at akai think we should have to purchase an 'eco-system' instead of giving us the updates.

[@JewelzFin]

You're on the clock to make this available for the Force. We didn't spend our money to be left behind with a machine that is far more capable than the MPC lineup.

[@Jean-Mi_Paradis]

Agreed. Force still rocks and we need to be in pair with the MPC community. @AkaiProfessional: Thank you in advance.

[@TracksAllDay]

What are the CPU specs for the force compared to the other MPCs that have stems?

[@phatplates]

Force is lame

[@matheuscamara84]

​@@TracksAllDay force has the exact same motherboard, CPU and ram as the MPC. It's the same you can even swap them.

[@bolttracks]

But ahead in other regards... It's truly weird. I wish they just shared the same firmware and locked off some force features not needed on MPC.

[@matheuscamara84]

I just wish akai social media team to respond to comments like "are you still supporting force" but they just answer compliments and "pagação de pau" as we say in Brasil 😂

[@alfiedotwtf]

WHAT??? Is THIS what Stems does. Mind. Blown!! Oh man... I can finally replace that drums on "Killing Me Softly With His Song" by Fugees - I've wanted to do this for 26 years. Oh man, thank you Akai!!

If you purchased stems before availability in standalone your just about as pissed as I am cause it’s told me to activate stems by logging in to inmusic when it’s all ready there and still doesn’t work in standalone. I’m calling it a night.

Just not sure the Force is actually important to Akai as such it has a really uncertain future. Choosing to go with the Force is a pretty brave move and always has been. It had a lot of promise but Akai never seemed to be geared toward it's success.

[@plusbellelapluie5001]

So just to clarify, if you purchase the STEMS for MPC2, you can activate it on standalone, after all the for mentioned updates????

[@Garethduffy707]

Incredible, well done Akai

[@Viennatom.]

Don't forget the Akai Force Users!!!

[@PhuccjooMann]

Apparently it’s not the same algorithm used for desktop version. It’s the zplane lite, aka lower quality yet still takes longer. I’ll take it, I purchased my mpc because it’s standalone hardware. In all honesty , I am mildly disappointed about it.

[@jeroendeclercq7580]

Same here. I wouldn't mind if it would have been 10 times slower. But it should deliver the same results.

[@coldskoolbeatz]

And that's why it's a no for me.

[@jeroendeclercq7580]

@@PhuccjooMann I just gave it a try, and I am more than mildly disappointed, I must say

[@badhabitz]

yh its definatly lower quality than the desktop version, i guess the live 2 doesnt have the processing power or Akai need to put out an update already

[@PhuccjooMann]

It would be cool if you could choose which algorithm to use on standalone. In most situations I could handle waiting an extra minute, in order to get “good” stem separation.

[@matheuscamara84]

NICE! Now can we have it on force? also, can you confirm if you abandoned force or if it still beeing supported? thxx

Worked perfectly, right away on the MPC One +! Thanks for bringing Stems to Standalone AKAI!

[@foolishcoyote.]

Can you talk me through how to download from logged in inmusic, where it says "stems is registered. I don't 👀 any download button.

[@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha]

@@foolishcoyote. Make sure you have the latest update for MPC Firmwire and also the MPC app/software. For me the downloaded didn't show up months ago when stems was only for the software/on computer, until I updated my firmwire and software update. I would make sure you have those updated on your MPC. Besides that I would press refresh or try logging out and logging back in of you inMusic account on the MPC. If those ideas don't work I would contact AKAI/InMusic help, through email/help ticket, they have helped me in the past very quickly with issues I have had. Good luck! **PS: The download button is just right next to where it says Stems, on the right side, if I am not mistaken its just a square box type icon on the far right side of where it says Stems on the MPC**

[@dasstraat]

It only works when MPC is online with Wifi, so Akai can copy all your stuff. I wonder when your license is expired? Probably 1 month.

[@dasstraat]

The beautiful websites tell it's for free, but in 2.15.1 you can pay 10$ (per month) and stay connected via Wifi so Akai can copy your works for IP. For me, I don't need stem anymore.

@@okchapz906 yes, it's working now.. however, when I save and load the next day, I cannot find the 4 volume sliders. This device is not straight forward, it's a maze of volume sliders but all wrong. Still puzzling, maybe I am not made for this kind of device.

[@excelboogie8866]

my old Mpc one just brought the stems update my Mac how do I get this new stem in my old Mpc one somebody help

[@AndyMacMPCclub]

Hey, when using the original MPC One, you need to create a WiFi connection using the Ethernet port located on the rear of your MPC. Connect the cable directly to your router. Go to MPC preferences to access internet settings to sync your IP address. There’s a video on the Akai MPC academy series explaining how to set up a WiFi connection. Once the internet connection is created, you can then login to your inMusic profile and activate stems. Hope this helps. :-)

Try connecting smartphone via usb to mpc and activating usb-modem function on your phone to share connection with mpc.
