New Akai MPC Plugin - Flavour Pro!

Andy's back again, probably Akai's best ever demonstrator of there product's, I hope they pay him well.

Thank you Bro. Super fun to create with!

Well its basically a copy of the RC-20 plugin that's been around for a few years, but yes its still great to have standalone on my MPC live :)

[@babysunn2]

Thanks Akai For Staying On Top Of Things... These Latest Updates Shows How Customer Oriented You Guys Are, and For All Those That Complain... There's Always Something Cheaper and Simpler, But There Is Nothing Better Than The MPC BRAND When It Comes To TRUE STANDALONE DEVICES. PERIODTAH!

[@ollie858585]

These plugins are clearly amazing and I am not critising at all, but does anyone else see the irony in how much effort went into making tape imperfections a thing of the past?

[@armandisalas4218]

Akai is really pushing in the direction technology is growing and can serve the artists. Other brands are just still making synths with a twist.

[@jonathansoko1085]

Well, no they arent. This is literally just software, one of a thousand out there that do the SAME. They arent pushing anything dude. They are literally selling a 200$ office pc shoved into a box with pads on it dude.

[@iTimestretcher]

I love that they are keeping the Force up to date with everything! Akai is the best! And Andy is awesome too!

[@justin555666]

Was just playing with this plug-in for the first time. Damn it’s fun! It’s really inspiring to throw this on a sample and go wild with all the new instruments. Akai, keep putting out great plugins and I’ll keep buying them!

Nice one. But what would be really cool is to have the retro version back in stock

[@darthknowl9222]

You can buy a skin from MPC stuff for a lot cheaper than the $900 you would spend on a retro One

Akai Force just got an update, probability and ratcheting is great. :D

[@SonicVibe]

Forgot about the force lol

[@djmikio]

I'm just thinking about how the MPC native Mellotron sounds a bit too clean and perfect for that classic sound and how that "corrupted tape" effect would just make it so much more authentic sounding.

[@pierrefitch]

Flavor pro is amazing love playing my guitar 🎸 using the flavor pro effect what other MPC plug-in has good guitar effects

[@KenshoBeats]

Nothing beats sampling from vinyl for that natural effect. That being said, this plug is damn snug 🔥

Nice price too 👍 many thanks .. fabulous it works for the Force too.. my poor Roland Sp404 😢

Yeah. This is great. Now that it’s available for Force as well I see myself investing.

[@larrymyers5989]

Yoooooo! This is sick!

[@sneaksgotbeats]

Just a heads up for those using a Tascam model 12 as a usb interface with their MPC… the new update 2.11.6 did not fix the unwanted digital distortion/cracking noise. You need to downgrade back to 2.11.4.

How much different is this than the AIR Flavor already on my MPC? Just more features? Or is the basic quality of the sound also that different?

The amount of manipulation you can do is far deeper.

If you don’t want to pay up for the Flavor Pro, just record over USB into your MPC with your favorite audio interface … lots of pops, crackles and clicks. Come on AKAI, fix audio over USB, please. 😢

Cool. But Akai please fix the 2.11.6 update so it's not glitchy and full of static and many of us had to downgrade back to 2.11.4. And it's pronounced tamber not timber Andy (Timbre).

I thought when he said sending shock waves they hired Roger back to Akai.

[@KnowPiepmatz]

"When im using two controllers, each assigned to its own channel and track notes cancel each other when identical pitches are played at the same time." ...That was the case until the previous firmware update. In the latest firmware - under the above conditions - the shortest note sends a global "note off"! Notes of different note lengths can not be received. If the DAW sends a whole note C3 on Midi channel (1) and a half note C3 on Midi channel (2) at the same time, the MPC only plays a half note on both channels. The whole note on MIDI channel (1) is cut off. Try it. It's like a bad joke. I don't understand all the midi inputs. For what reason? I don't like touching the MPC anymore. This Bug is too cheeky. Previous post: „When im using two controllers, each assigned to its own channel and track notes cancel each other when identical pitches are played at the same time.“ This makes the MPC completely unusable in the studio. It's unbelievable that Akai could even sell a single one of these devices. I don't know of any multimbral instrument in the world that can't be played with external hardware sequencers - Logic or different keyboards - because notes of the same pitch that arrive at the same time cancel each other out on different midi channels. If all multitibral samplers or synthesizers worked like this, there would be no Logic, Steinberg, Abelton. I do not understand that this error is discussed so succinctly. It's like a car can't drive reverse or only turn left and the manufacturer shrugs and replies: It is what it is! How long has the bug been known? Please don't think about it. The main thing is Flavor Pro! It is to cry for. Unfortunately, I only noticed the error too late.

[@bm63]

Years ago they wanted the cleanest samples Now we take those clean samples and destroy them lol Nice one…

[@UncleBenjs]

Because people started over exaggerating what they think old hiphop etc sounded like, in this gentrified lofi stuff.. but just ends up sounding unnatural and the only cohesiveness being that it all sounds shit/jarring/harsh. Sounds nothing like early 90s sp1200 etc.. just compare their demo in this video to some DITC or something and this over processing with this plugin just sounds so amateur. Doesn't sound anything like sampling old records or tape.

[@ElginChris]

Not to be a hater but the other guy (not Andy Mac) really oversells the emotion like it’s some as seen on tv advertisement.

[@danielscott7985]

They will need to release a more powerful CPU and memory version of the mpc to handle these plugins they keep dropping. What they don't tell you is that you can't run more than two of their plugins on a track without using up all of the CPU. Especially multisampled plugins like pianos

[@caliviews9884]

[@yodab.at1746]

Please, somebody get a message to Andy regarding expanding the effects automation recording ability. At the moment only insert effects can be automated, send/return effect parameters cannot be. Also automation need to be recorded even with a channel muted (to turn off an effect send for example). Automation is extremely important for some genres of music!!!

Too bad the recent Force update screwed up 2/3 of all my tracks by changing LFO retrig on drum tracks. I'm reverting to previous version, and I am not updating until they put out a major bug fix patch and it's been tested. I would have bought a new plugin, but I'm so pissed at them wasting my valuable time trying to fix this BS I can't bring myself to give them any money.

Nope! Better chance asking this with the Force crowd which what you upgrade to after you've mastered the MPC like I many other did. The Force is better designed for EDM/Trance.

[@SonicVibe]

@@rickbrown8184 I don’t think anyone masters a mpc maybe 🤔 jdilla can say that

[@Noise-Conductor]

@@SonicVibe How about I "out grow its method of operation", mainly with the mpc sequencer that makes doing some things very tedious...So yeah the Force has a better work flow for my style thinking/creating. The Force matrix & navigation views makes is way faster for moving, copying, deleting & editing clips across your whole project because all your is in sight. Also the macro capabilities are more advanced & better suited for non-sample-based hip-hop like EDM/Trance. Had a MPC1000/2500 w jjos since 2005/2008 but I'm currently MIDI tracking its beats to the Force. The new MPCs are better but the work flow is still the MPC work flow which I out grew back in about 2011 which lead me to a RS7000 that has a better sequencer then any MPC then I upgraded to the Squarp Pyramid, now back with the Force, though the Pyramid is more powerful some ways.
