NEW AIR MULTIBAND FILTERBANK IS HERE! MPC PLUGIN For Standalone and Desktop Demo & Tutorial

[@MiKEYFRESHBEATZ_MGMPrintz]

You gave me good vibes bro …. I can’t wait to try out my vocals now

[@sdjk909]

Free! I loaded it last night. Interesting plug in. Need some time with it. Like it!

[@TheMattyNation]

Had a ferret growing up, my mom eventually just let it roam around the house like our dog. Really great animals.

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Love him to death!

[@miamha]

Nice this was free; got the mini d, jura, and opx4 for less than one of them at full price so this freebie on top was a pretty sweet deal.

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Very nice!🤘🏻

[@Harlem-Instrumental]

I like that you actually used it to make something that sounded cool.

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

@@Harlem-Instrumental that’s so kind! Thanks!!

[@rufusjackson4836]

Your vocals are dope. Amazing track bro

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Thanks so much bro!🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@ryandilts9654]

The boom enhancer bass preset is legit.

[@samprock]

No only sounds but looks cool!

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

It’s a great addition to the onboard fx! Go grab it while it’s free!

[@richardcnrd8302]

amazing that it’s free !

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Yeah!!🙌🏻

[@joserivera1054]

I love it. Plus it was free. Lol. Sounds great.

[@patricetarabbia1810]

First demo with vocals reminded me of Aqualung

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Absolutely humbled! Thanks so much!

[@remyvegamedia]

I really like what it did to that synth around 7:45. This sort of use is most likely how I'll use it. I'm glad you showed some of it's more creative uses. I'm pretty excited for all this haha. I just got a One Plus last month and got Jura, Opx-4, Stage Piano, Stage Electric Piano, and Flavor Pro. I noticed someone else also asked about Push 3 in comparison and I'm also curious about that! I would love to try a Push 3 some day, but I couldn't afford that haha.

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

@@remyvegamedia thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you liked it👍🏼 Hope to make a comparison between MPC and Push soon! Cheers!

[@sinewaymusic]

Hey brother, you're a great singer!

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

@@sinewaymusic thanks so much bro!!🙌🏻

[@quinstks]

Good video I just got this plug in free from the website today

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Thanks for watching my friend!! Enjoy🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@kenzoblytheproducertv4934]

Dope,you can make your own stems. Good looking akai🫡🫡🫡

[@krazywabbit]

thought I heard the toddlers were stored in the cases. cool dad.

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Lol😂😂

[@JAAPIOJO]

To be honest if you like a good vocoder get a juno-x,xm or jupiter X.

[@christophschumacher640]

Hey great video , i really enjoy your content? One question , where can I purchase the air reverb pro ? I never heard of it I just can find the delay pro ✌️

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Hi there! I’m really sorry, I mispoke😅 it’s the AIR Reverb (really hope they make a “pro” someday though) cheers!

[@christophschumacher640]

@ Hey ok that makes sense , Even I hope for it . That would be so cool to have a „reverb pro“ But again , your channel is pure joy . I really respect your knowledge and your skill .✌️🙂

[@juliansimmons7700]

I have it. It’s not the EQ filter we were all hoping for, wish it was. It’s kind of more, yet less, more to lo-fi your sounds than hi-fi them. A common theme with the MPC standalone, mainly as the MPC is locked into the ancient 1980’s tradition of 44.1kHz. This is ok as a delivery format, but no engineer works in such a low sample rate …if you do you end up accentuating low resolution, or lack of high frequencies (that might not be directly audible but are essential for processing to avoid harsh robotic aliasing). If lo-fi is your thing the MPC is very good, many will say the MPC sounds amazing, but stuck at 44.1kHz it’s right on the cusp, add radical audio processing and it falls below the cusp to lo-fi. If Akai could bring out a 96kHz machine, wow that would be good, and now essential in 2025. Old samples would need up-sampling in the box, but that could work. All the expansion packs for sale would though on the whole be ancient history, and an opportunity for Akai to start selling a new era of 96kHz expansions, …so it could also be lucrative for Akai and give us audio engineers and nerds the quality we need - and that other companies already offer.

[@robinr22]

I'm guessing but I wager that 99% of MPC products are sold to people like me who just jam out on them in their bedroom. There's no value to upspeccing them to meet the needs of professional engineers - that's not the user base.

[@juliansimmons7700]

@@robinr22 ...yes I've come to realise that. The NI Maschine does run at 96kHz though, and ADC/DAC 96kHz chips are cheap. Music for film is 48kHz, and there is an audible difference between 44.1 and 48kHz, more than the numbers would suggest. I can also clearly hear the difference between 48kHz and 96kHz, though that said I often work at 192kHz for my specialist sound processing day job. 44.1kHz is an ok basic final delivery rate but really doesn't cut it for anything before that (and why early CDs re/mastered in the 1980's often sound so bad). But now is now, and 44.1kHz is as you say, bedroom level quality. I don't want to name drop, but just to prove the point, Richard James said to a friend of mine that he used to work at 88.2kHz, as it was exactly double that of the delivery format of the time - CD's at 44.1kHz. 88.2kHz gives room for processing, then a clean 1/2 down-sampling result to 44.1kHz. This is exactly how I record basic material now (unless I need 192kHz), I record at 88.2 or 96kHz (for film at 48kHz). Anyway, the MPC Standalone is ok if you lean toward lo-fi sound, which many many do, degradation is gaining momentum these-days as a form of authenticity. Limitations are all good and fine if they are wanted or embraced, and not a surprise.

[@stephenbaishya]

Great video @MidlifeSynthesist 👍🏻. I’ve noticed that your MPC seems to be getting a lot more action than your Push 3 - if you had to choose between them, which would you go for?

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

I ping pong between them for different purposes! The Push 3 wins in the MPE department and I can have infinite number audio clips, so I tend to grab it if I’ll be doing lots of audio recording. MPC is my go to for piano nowadays and sequencing both internal plugins and external synths its great! Love em both but I’m planning to make a full video comparison when MPC 3 is no longer Beta👍🏼 thanks for watching!

[@MarcoPolux]

cool!! 👍

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Thanks so much!!

[@ThomasPrendergast-x5e]

Where can you get this pluggin?

[@wurlinnawurl]

Air reverb pro huh?

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

@@wurlinnawurl lol😂 yeah noticed that afterwards😂 just air reverb😜

[@sinewaymusic]

For a second I got REALLY excited! 😂

[@Hoodyhoo504]

Caught that too. 🤔🤔🤔 Really need that!

[@Harlem-Instrumental]

What's sup with that Reverb Pro?

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

@@Harlem-Instrumental lol, sorry, typo😂

[@Harlem-Instrumental]

@@MidlifeSynthesist Thanks for the reply. Some dude was trying to start a rumor that a new reverb is coming out.

[@K-MoBeatz]

Dose that means that you can you this as a de-essa too?

[@cyb]

They really stretching that 2gb to the max

[@tjceron]

I like the plugin but have not been able to get it to work in Beta, it will list it in the plugins list but then tells me I have to register but nothing showing in the activations page in prefs. Can use it in 2.15 but not 3.x. I'm hoping that its just because it just got released and gets sorted soon.

[@asynchronicity]

For Force too?

[@Harlem-Instrumental]

Nope! But I hope so soon.

[@alecsbuga]

Now this is a synth KZbinr that puts his money where his mouth is.

[@jonnycavell]

It was free

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Thanks my friend! I assume you’re referring to the OP-Xy🫡 It’s being put through the wringer as we speak! See you soon!

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

5:12 Aaargh digital distortion / overdrive sounds harsh

[@simcax6087]

How the hell do I get it in standalone?

[@treschlet]

It looks like they haven't rolled it out to the activation servers for standalone yet

[@treschlet]

Oh, actually, I just rebooted my MPC and it showed up!

[@dncwrx]

Yeah it showed up this morning.

[@FaidedBTB]

@@dncwrxare you running the 3.0 beta or still on Mpc 2.0?

[@juliansimmons7700]

You need to register for the free code. You then get an email with the free promo code. You go over to the store and buy it for $99, enter the code, so -$99 = $0. Enter your email the MPC is registered to, then proceed. It should now show up - for free on your MPC. It’s apparently only free for 3 days.

[@notmyrealnameful]

Dude, if you’re working on a compo claim with the sling, you probably shouldn’t make videos playing with your left hand.

[@DrFearCo]

Dude’s a dentist, theres a big difference between what hes doing and his job.

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

@@notmyrealnameful thanks my friend! Don’t worry, I have insurance and I should be able to get back to the day job in a couple of months👍🏼 doctor said playing keys was good for the therapy🤘🏻

[@MiKEYFRESHBEATZ_MGMPrintz]

@@MidlifeSynthesistheck yeah❤

[@deebaker4671]

I am about to check out and I put in the promo code I received from AIR in the email. I put it in at the checkout, but it is saying it costs $107.79. Did this happen to you ?

[@WolfGoneMad]

Had that problem also but it worked now
