Andy Mac is ridiculous. His skills and ability to explain clearly while keeping it simple and fun is a true gift. You can see how much enjoys what he does and his appreciation for music creation as a true artist is commendable. As someone mentioned earlier, Andy presents the products for Akai Pro so well, that you may get it even if you don’t NEED it, lol. So much respect for Andy Mac and him teaming up with Akai Pro is a great match. Being able to be portable, have keys and the MPC full feature is a real win for Akai. Is the MPC portion of it more like an MPC One or MPC Live? Also, will Andy be able to demonstrate the setup and use of the MPC Key 37 with a modular device such as the Elektron Analog 4 Mk2 or Elektron Octatrack Mk2?

Just an FYI. The sounds and plugins Andy is using don’t come with the MPC Key37 standard. They are an additional purchase. The stock sounds are not as good.
@josephkissel60625 ай бұрын
Nearly every "review" has done this and it's just plain dumb or dishonest ... Why would you use plug-ins that don't come with Key 37 and are hardly a trivial purchase (like $500+ to level-up to the package that comes with Key 61).

Yes it would be cool if Andy just used the stock plugins.
@josephkissel60625 ай бұрын
I get it that a lot of people who will be looking at Key 37 (or at least this video) already own an MPC and maybe those plug-ins (but I think it's more a case of these YT testers just having a bunch of everything.) But even Akai is doing it by releasing images of the sound browser with a full screen of plug-ins (including $$$ ones like Fabric and Studio Grand, Etc.) ... Almost half the screen will be empty for those who don't already own them ...

If anything, please tighten up the midi, add visual EQ, spectrum analyzer, multiband compressor and add a timeline within the software. As for the hardware, put that HDMI Out back in you guys had in the Beta Mpcx. Dont argue and just do it or add bluetooth video out. Beyong this... Add the extra ram(what year is it), USB Audio Out, and then work on the converters. These additions would make the Mpc's a Real Solid Piece Of Kit.

Exactly it would make more sense to come with for example the mpc x in black or retro color at the same time so consumers had a choice or the mpc one in red black or retro but they know there are consumers that will buy every new shiny object because someone plays on it to make it look kool when really just give us the mpc 37,61 at the same time with or without red black or retro colors so at that particular time they can buy what fits their need

Hypnotic to the point of soporific! It doesn't even sound like music. It sounds like an idea someone had for a 2 bar jingle and then wouldn't stop playing or telling you about. His description of what quantize will do is dubious. The capabilities of this device are so far beyond what it's being limited to in demonstrations and in the hands of the few people who use this in nothing more than the way it's currently being marketed. Makes it sound like they don't want my money, or that of other MIDI/audio artists who are fed up with DAWs and have very few alternative hardware devices to choose from.

Whenever Akai brings this man out you know the device suddenly seems a whole lot more interesting, still holding out for something more powerful, because my Force is doing everything this newest MPC can't, but I'm happy to see Akai go with different form factors and colors, but unfortunately the internal power just leaves something to be desired.
