MPC STEMS - This is wild!

Yeah, you read that right. Akai just announced MPC Stems. Stem separation is coming to the MPC.
I have access to the Alpha version so let's take a look at it together!
It's 9.99 USD, available for the desktop software in February and coming to the standalone mode for all the MPC's at a later time, not yet announced.

That's unreal, i've been a 6 year music slump and this just gave me hope

[@campar1043]

blows my mind how stem seperation works, there are instruments in the same frequency ranges but they still manage to seperate them

[@_byondthepale_1227]

thank the sampling GODS for this!

[@alexv4907]

Pretty awesome to see more developers adopting this tech.

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah! My thought exactly! And Akai is doing a great job incorporating it!

[@dbi1036]

Man U made my day today, it’s so GOOD to see u i haven’t seen you for a while and I am glad you’re doing good God bless you brother

*throws machine+ into a volcano*

[@MyNameJeff..]

Sold it a few weeks ago 😂

[@AccurateBeats]

Maschine needs a few big updates at this point… Facts

[@mechasartre3694]

I loved mine but every update has come with a plethora of issues and they have barely added any features since the second (buggy) update!

[@DanielIvan707]

Maschine + Serato rules!

[@MrFullyCharged]

I love this idea, but I’ll keep my M+ for now. I use serato studio to separate and bounce stems, import into Ableton/maschine. Nowhere near as fluid as this feature “seems” to be… but overall the Push3/M+ are more fluid to me. Hopefully it rolls out with no hiccups. The MPC never clicked for me, but they are quite capable devices. I love the push to integrate even more tech.

[@Rondoggy67]

Mind…blown. I never thought I’d see this implemented on a standalone MPC

[@marcelvogel805]

so soon !!!

[@mattierenton701]

Seriously impressive stuff, and hopefully the release version will be even better !!!

[@fatbelly3385]

My man, great news to bring us. Thank you

[@dapsg.8068]

Nice detailed summary. Thanks Uncle Acc'! Glad I don't need to buy a new piece of hardware or wait for MPC3 software for this.

[@PROFESSORGRIMM03]

I always am thinking what if Dilla was alive for this era of sampling. He'd be going absolutely crazy. Can't wait for this feature to come out in a few weeks here when march rolls around. I got so many samples that i havent used due to them already having drums👑

[@edub9930]

Ikr it sux he had to leave us so early 😪

[@edjefferson9175]

Good use for Ai. I can see this useful for learning bass / guitar parts. Worth $10.

[@AccurateBeats]

100%! And also for pretty much anyone who just wants to learn how to break down music to understand it better. Really valuable stuff, even if you don't use it for sampling purposes.

[@brendanthegreek]

Love this. Thanks for making the video.

My heart grew 10 times today! Good to see you and this is cool. I am upset that I got Serato Sample though. $10 bucks! Cmon!

[@stevesamplingmusic]

as someone who started messing with sampling in the late 90´s this is like the holy fkn grail right here. Can't wait to get this on my MPC1

[@YariBeatsMedia]

Just Blaze had access to this technology as far as 13 years ago. I am getting an MPC One in a few weeks & i am glad they have it on the stand alone version. Nice workspace btw.

[@jasonjones8716]

You are doing well bruh bruh 💯 love your guru:

[@noisetheorem]

I hope they bring this to the Force as well. It would be an excellent tool to have on that platform as well.

[@NoiseSoundDestructor]

im writing the same thing everywhere :P Every time when there is new thing on MPC we have to remind them that FORCE is still a thing and is a beast. For me the best Standalone

[@noisetheorem]

@@NoiseSoundDestructor This is why I own an MPC and a Force. This way I get all the goodies.

Yeah, it’s evolving and will soon be considered to be a standard function.

[@riccardocardone5980]

Been missing you man!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! I needed some time off all this stuff but its great to be back!

[@adub303]

I remember reading in my Emu ESI-32 manual about the time-stretching "beat munging" feature that you could kick off the process and grab a cup of coffee while you wait (their words, not mine 😆). One minute for stem separation seems lightning quick by comparison. Thanks for showing this off.

[@ElanBrio]

Totally agree the standalone is the most likely option for me !

[@a2roland]

Thank You. Awesome!

[@kfmscience]

looking forward to this...I'll now be able to rip the vocals from my old album tracks and do remixes. Lost the master tapes decades ago...lol

[@Thekidisalright]

I am so glad they implement this on MPC one as well

[@FernandoDCDuarte]

As far as I know, all new features and plugins also came to MPC One though, thankfully!

[@ebeatz69]

This is fire 🔥

[@jodagold5481]

How very exciting I just hope the gUI and the arrange function gets introduced like the force .. this is so cool though

[@oddfutureplaylist]

Awesome stuff

[@lindasson]

Amazing 🙏🏾✊🏾💚

[@jaypkock]

The crazy thing with stems that i never thought would be possible is that u can lower the volume on stuff in the original mix! If you kinda like the vocals and want too have it but not as loud u can now. If it clips weird on on slice u can do stems on just that slice etc - its a whole new woooorld

[@SouLo_47]

thank Ye 4 the push

[@thetropiki]

Can’t wait for standalone!

[@ronnieuk2]

Awesome news🎉🎉

[@autecheee]

Fruity Loops has stem separation in latest version. I love to hear a A & B test of the same song separated and see which one (FL or MPC Stems) has fewer artifacts….or about the same??

[@palimo3653]

Wow you still saying Fruity Loops lol

Yeah! That could be the title of pretty much any video I make on something new for the MPCs. Kinda crazy actually.

So everyone is on this, this morning. Peace to you

[@conflummix1397]

Looks great. Now bring it to Force.

[@DojoOfCool]

All this stuff is new to me my background is in traditional recording. So software to create stems is great tool, now can those audio stems be converted to MIDI if I want use different sounds but the original groove of the stem or change pitches?

[@edwardsimlin7485]

What’s good? Got a question about the sampling on all the MPCs and the software. On Ableton, when using Simpler, there a playback option that gives you the choice of Mono,Poly,and Thru. With the “Thru option, the sample will continue to play even when the next sample comes, is that making sense? If it does, is there anyway to do it on the MPCs and the MPC Software?

[@DDaniels3000]

Will this work on mpc studio black ?

[@BinauralBae]

Stem sample render time is coffee break time

[@jodagold5481]

Yes !!!!

[@uselessvideo]

Did u happen to also check if the stem clarity was affected by the sample type - ie: mp3 vs wav?

[@Proxima04]

Q: What’s better than breaks? A: Clean breaks. 😏

[@iamyourfuture808]

Thanks for addressing the elephant in the room ... the reality of artifacts! you're the only reviewer to do this . w

[@AccurateBeats]

Well, I'm not gonna say that it's flawless if it isn't :) It's an awesome technology, implemented in a great way in a pre-release version.But I doubt that we're gonna get 100% artefact-free results from anything like this in quite a bit. :D Thanks for appreciating it!

[@khalilroukoz]

awesome too when is it coming out? Also thing is perfect took for sampling thieves 😂

[@nusbeatz]

How to set up mpc one connect to mpc beat software??

[@santimerayo592]

so this is gonna be available on MPC one? no need for MPC one +??

[@blaster3744]

Since its processed on the software version on mac/pc in this exemple, Wonder if the 1 min processing time for this sample will turn into a 10min once fully processed by the standalone mpc when available due to difference of cpu power. Still amazing though

[@rickmorty4921]

Akai profesional MPC LIVE 2 is it the same thing, only a stand-alone version?

[@BritoWorx]

This is amazing but also where Akai needs to beef up their ram and cpu inside their units. 2-4gb just isn’t cutting it, especially for heavy processing like stem separation. Newer units should come with no less than 8-12gb to ensure longevity of the mpc.

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah, specs always needs to get better as the software improves, for sure. I just really hope that the MPCs will be able to do this type of processing in standalone mode. Only the future will tell

[@dn30001]

​@@AccurateBeatsOR...............will the standalone stem processing be cloud based with a mandatory MPC connection to wifi 🤔.....that would suck

[@AccurateBeats]

Well… The desktop software doesn’t connect to the web for this so I highly doubt that’s gonna be the case

[@nakiradams]

Good morning, thanks for the information. Is the computer version already available for purchase?

[@callesjonell5943]

How does it work with electronic music?

[@ickebins6948]

And at the same time, getting external gear working with or controlling the MPC via MIDI still is bugged...

[@thomascrownbuerger]

Hah! One of my first thoughts was, "I wonder what it'd do with a heavy or thrash, etc metal track..." Glad you addressed it! As for "who uses distorted guitars..." hrm. I got into jungle/drum n bass around the same time as I found Atari Teenage Riot/digital hardcore in the mid 90s. Jungle heavily relies on sampled breaks (can I get an *amen*?). Digital hardcore relies on many of those same breaks, but some also incorporated heavy guitars (notably ATR and EC8OR). Perhaps that interests fewer than 0.001% of your audience, but that's what came to mind when you mentioned the guitar stems. All hail our AI music overlords. xo

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! I thought it was worth mentioning since the outcome really wasn’t clean. Lol! I know! People sample distorted guitars left and right and there’s nothing wrong with that at all 😀 Everything has its place in the culture, for sure! Thank man! Appreciate it!

[@boomboombaby9140]

I use MPC software with a a alesis vi25 keyboard with 16 mpc style pad 😊😊 . mpc live 2 was stolen last year and I paid 40 bucks for the keyboard when I got the insurance money to replace my mpc I never did because I loved the workflow of the software and the midi keyboard.

[@MAARTN]

Could you maybe try and do this with samples you record from vinyl? Curious to hear how that will work out, thinking of getting a new MPC just for this

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah man, that’s coming up!

[@cmscss]

Can stems play off the drive on MPC yet or do they still have to play from ram? If you use stems live, it’s a show stopper!

[@hansgerrl1044]

Really? I have the MPC X Professional. This should aöso work with the MPC X Professional, or?

[@cthulholmhastur5317]

[@maximheavy2107]

this comes with MPC ONE from the box or should be bought separately?

[@AccurateBeats]

Separate purchase at $10.

[@DeeSaint905]

When is the stems coming out ?

[@MagicMedic]

I think it's kind of both weird and amusing that DJ software had the ability to utilize stems before MPCs.

[@Area51beatz]

Exactly. I bought the Rev 7 to be able to use stems and record them in the mpc.

[@MagicMedic]

I've had stems through Virtual DJ since late 2021.

[@dugnice]

I think the reason Akai is often slow to improve it's software is because hardware is still very much the company's bread and butter, having released 13 MPC branded devices in the past 12 years.

[@PaulBrownclk-me]

The stem separation in DJ software is real time based and as such is pretty low quality compared to offline processing we are seeing here. This sounds usable .. DJ software stems in my experience is only suitable for Bedroom DJs 😂 at best

[@avemeends]

I sampled and split this video’s samples into koala and can say that the mpc algorithm does sound better but I’m happy with what I’ve got for the price I paid.

[@AccurateBeats]

You did? That’s cool! Let’s hope that the competition here makes everyone evolve and improve on things!

[@crowfoot7355]

Sago Accurate 👍

[@HOLODECK-MUSIC-PROJECT]

the question for me is, doest it also work with electronic sounding tracks?

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah. It’s actually a lot more effective for that type of stuff. I thought it was unfair to make it that easy for it in my video.

[@interzone5123]

With Wav files and 320 khpz ?

[@wirklich_niemand]

the only way I see this coming to standalone is by uploading the samples to the cloud and process them there. the mpc is way too weak to process it locally in a reasonable amount of time. on the otherhand this would finally make some usage of the internet connection.

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

[@DBX79]

How are you feeling about Maschine software at this point? I kind of feel like they’re adding features way ahead of someone like me. They also aren’t making many changes for the Maschine+ seems left in the dark.

[@AccurateBeats]

Honestly, I haven’t really kept up with the software. I really prefer being untethered from the computer and use M+ in standalone. I use it from time to time but since, as you’re saying, the M+ hasn’t gotten a lot of updates, I tend to use MPCs way more. I think NI needs to drop something huge for Maschine… Like a new piece of hardware and a big update for Maschine+ or something to stay in the game.

[@DBX79]

@@AccurateBeats I was heavy into Maschine for the last 10 years, but I don’t find any enjoyment out of using their software. It’s just becomes like a job, and not the fun I remember. I may venture out, and try MPC now. This process should be fun, and inspiring. I feel like the only thing offer now is sales on VSTs, and expansions.

[@gwsound]

Can you compare it to the djay software? It’s the best at this moment on stems. It does it realtime on my iPad with 4 tracks at the same time 🤩

[@AccurateBeats]

It doesn’t seem fair to do it with this alpha version of MPC Stems but maybe when it’s really available? And compare it to a bunch of software?

[@DespairQuietlyPlease]
