Andy Mac just recreated Simply Red's - Holding Back The Years ( 'I keep holding on').....I have the MPC Key 61. It's by far one of the BEST pieces of music technology I've ever owned.......I'm 60 in a couple of months. I'm in the process of recreating Depeche Mode (Vince Clarke's) 'I just can't get enough'. I've just got to record the vocals (all on the MPC Key 61) and I'll have produced what it took a whole studio to achieve in one standalone keyboard.

It’s a hard take to assume a sampler in 2023 is gonna sound or is supposed to sound like a limited bit rate sampler from a couple decades ago. I personally love the lo fi stuff and just like every other piece of vintage gear from guitars to synths… you hold on to those because the forward goal of reaching pristine sound quality is to have anything you feed into a sampler be exactly replicated and not colored by dated converters. We have learned over the years to use limitations stylistically and people are now becoming upset that they have to learn more about production processes to dirty up clean sounds because those limitations have been remedied. Most of us have done it this way already for years. So having an mpc that needs to be given some grit isn’t shocking. I get the reason why people are upset but do you complain or do you adapt? A lot of the people complaining are ratting themselves out that they all relied on a consumer product to solely be their sound. Cats should have been pushing the mpc through outboard stuff even back in the day instead of all following the leader as to learn as little as possible about the process but still get the pro results. Shortcuts Once mpc started getting side stepped for maschine, akai started going after the NI style software/hardware model back on the renaissance to stay competitive outside of just the hip hop crowd. A lot of hardware dawless producers use the new Mpcs for edm and center pieces for sending midi, cv and audio data for their performances. If it were instantly colored like the older mpc units then that would limit the control of the sound to far more artist then the hip hop cats that rely on the degradation of old converters for saturation

amazingly said my friend. i love the new mpcs personally and i feel your fully right about people being lazy abt it. expecting a dirty sound so they dont have to actually use fx and other things to grit it. its funny though cause all of the new mpcs actually have a vintage mode where it emulates the sound of old hardware(im pretty sure the ones they have are 3000,60,sp1200,and sp1200 ring mod).

MPC architecture has too many weird roadblocks and rules for me. Why make a box with 16 pads that you can’t just quickly hit “group C” and make those 16 pads anything you want? Pad 2,3 synths, pad 4 sample, pads 9-16 drums… maschine just lets you RUN FREE. Of course I prefer Push, but… every time I try MPC I remember why I don’t use MPC. To each his own.

Thanks for the video, I have the current MPCX now and everyone should keep in mind though it says standalone you have to have a measuring point what that means. For me the bar is five minutes song eight audio tracks and eight plug-ins. Currently, with the two gig version it is impossible. I work in a linear fashion and the best I can do is 8 audio tracks and one plug-in and I am at 90% or better of memory used. So maybe standalone should be rethought what that is supposed to mean.

This brings it in line with the Key 61, but they lowered the price of the Key 61 after realising it wasn't right priced in the market, and I think they lowered the price of the plugins or had a prolonged sale. I'd like Akai to do more to encourage early adopters, but with those caveats stated it's still a great product.

I think for me this is a lazy upgrade but probably very smart from Akai’s point of view, it’s certainly a great way for them to use up all their old stock pilled components by making the minimalist of changes, adding a new colour and giving it an extra couple of letters after its name. I think the 35th anniversary is just an excuse to do this. Doesn’t even have the Ethernet port. 48 GB of storage, I mean you could have just as easily made it 64GB for probably no extra, 48GB is a very odd number for storage. So does the clock start ticking again for the Akai MPC X SE or does it continue the same as the MPC X making it still a 7 year old product. I’m sure there will be lots of gear heads who collect MPC’s that will buy this, but for the average user who already has an MPC X and the plug-in suite even a Live MK II user is this enough of an upgrade to warrant spending $2400 on essentially 2GB RAM, 32GB of extra storage, a colour change, and a different badge. You can buy a 32GB SD card for a few bucks. I can’t speak for anyone else but I totally feel disappointed, I was hoping for a new flag ship with game changing specs, it’s been 7 years rocking the same old device ,same old outdated components. It’s not like this machine give us anymore audio or plug-in tracks or anything like that. As the old saying goes “ you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig” So now the question is when do we think there will be any actual new upgrades MPC’s? PS: I prefer the black and red MPC X, the black buttons on the MPC X SE should have been a different colour.

I think it was a good idea from akai marketing wise. I half way agree with you. But look at the value. You get 500-1000 worth of their plug ins along with it. So it’s definitely worth exploring the idea of upgrading for people who have an X already that want to sale their old gear and get the refreshed look if they haven’t already bought into the new plug ins. Also it’s a bit attractive to a newcomer that wants to come aboard the Mpc family. But for me I also feel a bit let down because they should have upgraded more than what they did.

@@jltbk5420 I’ve been thinking about my comment since I posted it. I think for me I got so wrapped up and excited about the hype, I’ve been patiently waiting and waiting for months for this new MPC to drop, I didn’t want to believe the leaks, hoping they were fake and wrong, counting down the weeks till NAMM and then the bombs started going off. 1: Akai not at NAMM so no release at NAMM 2: The release of the SE being what it is. I’m my heart I just wanted something more, something different but more importantly something new new. But hey that’s on me, I’m a tech junkie that gets excited about stuff like this. You made some great points especially for new MPC buyers coming on board that defo makes sense. The software, we it’s not a physical thing like hardware, once the software is made your R&D costs are the same if you gave it to one person or a million it’s just code. But it’s great for sure it comes with it, but if you compare the cost of the MPC X now at $1699.00 compared to SE $2400.00 it’s cheaper just to buy the plugins, that’s if you need them at all. Time will tell. Will you get one? I know the KZbinrs are loving it, but there is everything to love if you’ve been given the SE for free, but in these times where we all need to watch our dollars we need to spend our money wisely, after all it’s a hella lot of nickels and dimes. I appreciate you replying.

The name being "Special Edition" doesn't really make it even sound like it is supposed to be a whole new thing. It is basically just a color change and plugin expansion pack. I would not view it as a new piece of hardware and more of just an ascetic refresher. Now they are definitely marketing and hyping it as something bigger but this overview basically applies in a general fashion to any morden MPC from the studio to the X. It is kinda like the promotional role out for the X SE is just filling the gap with the regular X so it gets the same level of promotion that the other models have had due to the media landscape in how we interact with content changing since 2017. Akai historically never gave the X as much push media wise since it was older.

@@R41NES I’m really not sure yet. Several things come into play on making the decision to pull the trigger. I’m at 80/20 leaning more towards no. I own several pieces of gear and the more I get the less productive I become. I own the Live II and the X along with a keyboard workstation and sequential prophet. At the moment my mpc X or live isn’t even peaking cpu usage on a my bigger projects. So the need for more ram isn’t a must. Also memory is cheaper by the day so a 1 gig ssd is about $79. I own already a bunch of Native instruments libraries so the plug ins the new se comes with is more of a want than a need. As a matter of fact I already have the latest Roland Fantom with better sounds than what the mpc plug ins offer. So the new shiny toy (MPC SE) will probably have to pass on it at the moment. Don’t get me wrong I really would like to upgrade just for the heck of having the latest and greatest but I have enough already. Before I’d purchase a new MPC I’d probably go for a older one for the nostalgia of owning what I wanted when I first started doing music. Maybe a 2000xl or 2500. But that’s just my thoughts on it. Maybe next week or next month I’d have talked myself into getting it. But if I do I would have to have a buyer lined up for my current mpc x

@@jltbk5420 I’m like you still on the fence with this one. I certainly don’t need it like you got a tonne of gear Fantom 76, Jupiter X, Poly Brute, SEq Take 5 MPC X, Live II Retro and an absolute tonne of VST synths but I hate missing out. Clearly it’s going to be a few more years before we seen an actual MPC X / SE replacement. One minute I’m like just order it, the next I’m like you don’t need it save the $$$’s. The coming days will tell for sure. On a side note I watched a few of your videos earlier, bro your a natural presenter, they looked and sounded fab bro bro, you got Skillz in all departments. The Rode mic certainly made a big difference to the sound, so much clearer when you swapped over.

I wonder if the MPC X SE is the final model they squeezes the last juices out of, before a whole new model comes out with a totally new OS system 🤔

I just want to see Andy do this: Quickly make the 8 pad banks into 8 drum kits with 16 sounds per kit. Tell ya what, I’ll start a stopwatch and do this exact thing on Maschine, only for bank C I’ll select a number of synths for the pads, and then some samples for other pads, and maybe some returns for others, and while I’m at it I’ll sequence some pads chromatically by tapping a quick button… and then after I’ve gone for a shower I’ll come back and see if you have the 8 drum kits assigned to the pad banks, easily playable by just hitting group “C, D, E” etc. If you can also add a few synths to some of those pads and the timer is under 15 mins I’ll be stoked.

you should read the manual... or unhook the dumbbells from your arms when you use the mpc... you could do what you ask for in less than 5 minutes...
