This was a very nice and comprehensive introduction. I'm new to Akai. And look forward to learn fast so I can have fun with it. It looks like big fun! Thanks 🙏👍

[@biokode]

The level of self-control displayed by this man, not ripping off that tiny screen sticker 😅 beyond belief - also, this video might be one of the very best ones on using the MPC Studio MK2 🔥🔥

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Thanks

[@MinDTraX]

Great video! I have the MPC and was really looking for a tutorial, glad I found your video!

[@jamesjackson463]

Thank you for what you do for the community..🎶🙏🏾🖤

Got mine yesterday….need to learn everything about this unit. Not new to Mpc but I want to learn. Thanks for the help bro 😎

[@normski262]

HHAH I got myone today, and completely new to all of this. BIG learning curve.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Your welcome.

[@mayoomusic]

Looks very simple, however, this tool is very powerful with MPC Software. If you see what Andy does from AKAI, it makes you crazy!

[@MajicFreeman]

ordered one and know it's a huge learning curve so getting started before it's even shipped hah thx mate

[@manblu50]

I’m very thankful for the “very” detailed video that you have produced. It has save me a lot of time and frustration that I’ve been having learning the MPC Studio mk2. Keep up the great work brother!

Happy new year too! Glad it was helpful!

great.

[@midisynthminds]

I don't know if your intentions were to make the best MPC Studio Tutorial video ever, but that's exactly what you did. I have seen so many other people try to explain the features and workflow of the MPC Studio, including the Akai MPC Studio Masterclass, and nothing compares to the quality of information in this video. I couldn't get past the 3rd episode of the Masterclass and had to watch it like 5 times. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. This is what people were looking for, in my opinion. Now, I have a question. I got suckered into buying the AIEP3 Air Bundle and I've downloaded it and installed everything but I have no clue how to use it and cannot find any information anywhere. Are you familiar with this product? I got it for $149 but it is normally $350, and in some places, even $500. They provided me with a serial number for the entire bundle and I have no idea where I am supposed to enter the serial number.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Thanks Bro trying to get it done for everyone.

[@henriqueamancio2385]

Man, what a compliment your comment, I agree ☝️

[@manblu50]

Ditto!

[@Jaiwavbeatz]

The Nudge God!

[@thebasicmaterialsproject1892]

some techno!

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Yup

[@midisynthminds]

I realize I've let a lot of people down by creating a KZbin channel and still not having any uploaded content, but I have to admit, learning all of the equipment has been a real challenge. I hope to start creating videos when I am more comfortable and confident about what I'm doing. That will be sooner, rather than later, thanks to SampleKings. I did create a super killer beat the other day and thought I saved it but could not find it anywhere. It would've been such an amazing song. That is a sick feeling!

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Before you make any music on it know it like how to save always make beats you don't care about the save it in many ways knowledge is the key to success.

[@midisynthminds]

I hear you. I'm not ready yet. I will be comfortable and confident soon though. How could anyone every get bored doing this? I am having so much fun, but still staying aware of what's happening to the USA, and fully resistant to all forms of tyrannical oppression.@@SampleKingsVideos

[@thebasicmaterialsproject1892]

thanks for making this tutorial i already did the akai one but it didnt sinck in. all of a sudden i feel like a god.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Glad I could help pleased sub more is coming thanks.

[@normski262]

Crazy question please. Thanks for the pointers!! If you are working on a project, say Project 01 with say 80s drum beats. So you dump the 80s drum beats in Project 01. OK, get all that! Problem I am having or don't get is, if you end up with say 10 to 20 tracks, So you move to track 2, 3,4,5 and so on, can I dump say Vocals, Synth, and more in onto track 2 and use say Synth track 3, and so on? And when you press play, all the tracks 1,2,3 and on, will play togeather, is that right ? Or have got this all screwed up here? BIG learnning curve, trying to get it sorted in my head, I keep screwing something on this on this front!! Or , do I have to open a new project 02, and project 3 to move several sound types over !

[@HOLYJIGGA]

Peace!! Is there a way to automate using the touchstrip?

[@BoomBax01]

Appreciate the video man! Do you know if there's a way to change the brightness of the pads at all? Just got mine the other day and thays the only thing that bugs me about it when I'm using it at night

[@SampleKingsVideos]

You should be able to go to preferences and then go to pads. You should go change the brightness and the consistency of the head on the path as well.

[@jamesjackson463]

Sample king can you do a tutorial on how to use the sound packs like a one shot etc..

[@blood_n_guts_murphy]

Anyone prefer using one of these to a midi keyboard? Seems like an easy way to play chords for people who don't know music theory. Or do you definitely still need a keyboard too?

[@Boss-Air]

Hi! Thanks for the video. I have a problem, how can I use the touchstrip during the recording ? I activated record, I pressed the pad and I pressed the touchstrip at the same time to have FX effects, but when I listen the sample there is no FX.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Can you do it in the software? If so then they may need to update.

Hi, I am new user of MPC. And I would like to ask 2 questions. 1.can I ad more instruments into pads A from left side from program plugins, I think more different plugins in one pads group, or it is possible only from right side from samples etc?2. Is somewhere good forum or live chat to talk about functions programing etc in MPC Studio mk2?

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Just saw this, been moving, do you still need help?

[@cyberluke]

How to change sequence length from MPC? How to move MPC to next bar in sequence? On MPC Studio mk2 it does not work, only on standalone MPC.

[@RichardCyberPunk]

Very good video. Is the MPC Studio MK2 (and its software) still updated by Akai in 2024 ?

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Glad it helped.

[@brandonthorsen970]

I can’t get nova to work it picks it up but can’t find it in vst like arcade

[@georgemapp2855]

How do I find my master class template I went to file like you did Master Class not there it said something else.

[@m9087564]

Can i install any vst plugin on the Mpc software ?nice tut

[@SampleKingsVideos]

I've had no problems so far.

[@misterkyatproductions]

Greetings @SampleKings Thanks for your Content. is there a way to turn down the main volume in "Sample Edit" ? the volume is about 10x louder than how i set my samples volume in programs to avoid clipping/distortion, but when i go in sample edit they are way too loud . Im using the MPC Studio Black. any help would greatly be appreciated.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Everyone has the say problem it's like AKAI Pro doesn't get it.

[@misterkyatproductions]

@@SampleKingsVideos yea that sucks big time man, everyother application has a option to control volume for this sort of thing. i hope they catch up to the times

[@SampleKingsVideos]

@@misterkyatproductions 1 day they just might get it done but I just do all my sample edits and if I have to go back to sampling I just remember to lower the volume.

[@furb_jnt]

how to change time correct ?

[@nzreggae2534]

Can the MPC studio Mk2 output individual drums to separate mixer channels within a DAW when used as a plug in? I want to keep making patterns, edits, switch patterns all without committing to audio until the end of the composition process. I just want to mix the drums within MOTU Digital Performer live and also output individual drums out the audio interface separate outputs for mixing analogue. Can I mix MPC studio Mk2 drums in a DAW mixer as a plug in without committing to audio?

[@SampleKingsVideos]

No it's just a controller, you'll need and MPC x, or LIVE II or MPC ONE for some of that.

[@nzreggae2534]

@@SampleKingsVideos I mean within the MPC software.

[@Bro.Banks1]

Not sure why im not getting any sound/ audio? Not sure what preference to select. Im on a gateway laptop. Just stuck and have so many creative ideas

[@SampleKingsVideos]

How good is this controller at controlling 3rd party SoftSynths? Is there a dedicated controller function?

[@SampleKingsVideos]

No, only akai gear and softsynths I never used third party…

[@lundsweden]

Maybe you can control plugin in the MPC software. I know you can have third party plugs in the software, but have'nt tried it out.

[@tylergates4075]

In step sequencer mode, how do i access the second set of 16 steps in a 32 step sequence? I tried the +/- , doesn't work. Note before i tried doing that i was stuck in pitch mode. I cant ever exit pitch mode, unless i go to a different mode.. which still doesnt allow +/- to controller the sequencer. Hitting "main" didnt help either.

[@tylergates4075]

I guess it's not possible since you are not responding, but responding to other new comments

[@cyberluke]

BUG? Navigating bars with locator does not update the pads, so sequencer is not working. On standalone it is working.

[@RohaProdBeats]

Hello, how to use the STEP SEQ, mode + pad 15?

[@SampleKingsVideos]

You will need to understand step edit in the software more to master step edit with MPC studio 2

[@RohaProdBeats]

@@SampleKingsVideos Yes, I managed to find, but I find it unfortunate to have to use the mouse to do it in the MPC 2 software, doing it entirely on the machine would be great. But hey that's already good, otherwise it would take at least the MPC One to see the MPC Live, Thank you !!

[@RohaProdBeats]

@@SampleKingsVideos Thank you for this video!!!

[@EZ-nc8fr]

How do you automate the touch strip effects? I hit the write button but it doesn’t automate anything that I do with the touch strip.

[@djmindcontrol1]

Maybe in the mixer window? I did see the efx in that mixer window for masters. Maybe has an engage button?!

[@EZ-nc8fr]

@@djmindcontrol1 I can automate other effects with the touch strip like on the program where it shows the little automation logo. I’m beginning to think that maybe the touch fx load in the masters in order to use the on a live performance on something.

[@MS7.7]

@@EZ-nc8fr I have the same problem I used automation, record, and overdub none of them recorded the strip effects. I could only achieve it by using the insert and double click on it and enable it manually which make the Touch FX useless for recording.
