The New MPC 3 BETA 2 Public Update is Now Available!

[@nicks.8003]

That slice to audio is like Pro Tools editing for audio tracks. We can quantize live instruments a lot easier now!

[@fairnews7484]

Thank God! The individual track mutes per track and per sequence are back! Thanks for this great news Bolo.

[@amontri3246]

1st off bolo awesome job on explaining this straightforward perfect 👌 you went straight to the meat and potatoes and second Akai is really paying attention to make an amazing product better from this point on its all going to be icing on the cake im super impressed

[@joshuagardner894]

So what are the current concerns after this update? It seems to me this addresses the major concerns / issues people had. Ive been digging this v3 software, the MPC now works the way I work, I never really jived with the track / program way of thinking. I know some have said, having the two combined is limiting, but the work around is to do what we have always done in the DAW world and simply duplicate a track. For example, using a simple idea, maybe I have a track / program I want reverb / compression in one sequence, but in another, I dont want the reverb / compression, I can simply duplicate the track / program in another sequence and remove the reverb / compression and mute the track / program that had the reverb / compression. To work around the limitation of 8 plugins per song, just bounce instrument plugins to an audio file...

For me it's clips..

[@rezzonator]

[@illeagle8041]

You can create a midi track and aim it at any other track to get a very similar workflow as 2.15

[@tjceron]

@@illeagle8041i had to learn that but the mute for the plugin applies to all and I don’t like that. Loading pre-3.0 programs that have multi sequence is a fuggin mess. I dont want to have to spend hours sorting old songs to work with the new firmware. Creating new songs in 3.0 ain’t too bad if you already know about these things. Wish it was more like a saw and let me create more plugins until the system chokes

[@Davinciblack_]

You’ll now realize that people will complain about anything no matter how many updates there are

[@ForrestBells]

I’ve had my mpc for 2 months now and I’m just flowing through it easily. I was hesitant to try 3.0 because I was just getting use to the original format. I love 3.0 . For someone that always played instruments “not saying mpc isn’t an instrument” I’m hyped on sampling anything out there including my own music

[@Anaddictspeaks]

Also adjusting the attack will totally help with that pop sound you’re mentioning! Thanks bro!!

[@BoloDaProducer]

Thanks! I was rushing 👍🏾

[@MrMechanicMike]

Happy they're keeping the Splice sync a part of MPC 3. I'm still relatively new to MPC making Tech House. It just simplifies things. Really dig slice to audio also...Thanks for going over it, that'll be handy!

It’s dope, just keep using it every day

[@entaprizeinc3313]

i just got the Key 37 a couple months ago after being on FL Studio for 11 years or so. i'm slowly learning how to use it thanks to guys like you Reply

[@Johannes_DC]

I was doing the same, but with Ableton. Now i use the Mpc one plus as my idea box and then hook it up to my computer and output the tracks to ableton for further mixing with additionele vst plugins. Works like a dream. I can get more creative with the mpc when storting a song than with Ableton

​@BoloDaProducer For now pick your sound in the msb bank. Once you have your sound turn the midi output back to none amd program ch off in that order. Your sounds will remain and you will have control over the mixer without them going back to factory setting.

16:17 Bolo, I ve been waiting on that msg and lsg problem since the X came out to get fixed. Bro we got the same workflow when it comes to using msg/lsg. My motif rack and fantom is on ice(in that situation)til this is fixed! I hope they hear u cause the older equipment is a big part of my arsenal!! The issue is the 0-127 vs. 1-128 that was changed with these newer mpc's thats different from older mpc's and other older equipment.

[@OmuNikoro]

Thanks Bolo! Much apreciated!

[@BoloDaProducer]

Any time!

[@sir0623]

Bolo, you are the MAN, thanks for all your hard for you hard work and dedication. Also THANK YOU AKAI! Now I will test this and upgrade the rest of my production MPC's

[@scheetmcborsten7977]

How do track mutes work on plugins and sequenced hardware? Will it play out the last note in the roll and continue the effects or will it be a hard cut on the audio?

[@DI-VINE813]

Dope Just downloaded it! Didn’t know about the splice update! Thank you for the heads up! The dopest feature is the chop to audio!

[@CharlesBronsun]

Almost safe for me to upgrade. What about the programs thing? Is that what you talking about with old sequences?

[@LanceGreene-e9e]

Cool vid ! Hey , I’m intrigued at your passion . Show me the way ! I’m enjoying music . I used to create songs but not I’m interested in understanding how the beat production works from the aspect of using MPC’s . I’ve tried a little midi with pro tools . When I was in school and I still think , that’s cool . I like midi with sounds banks to create music . But with MPC’s it’s a whole other world . The screen is smaller and it’s basically just for beats ? You don’t record vocals in MPC right ? So when it comes to automation so to speak , how would you use something like protocols with MPC ? Would you be able to or is their a software for MPC which can be used like pro-tools . Pro-tools had a controller that moved when you adjusted the screen on the computer . And vice Versa . What’s the best way , you would configure it all. You want to make a beat and then record vocals from an artist . How wild you set that up . Also, sampling from audio file you have saved . How do you add those to the MPC . To be

[@echo_opera]

This is great news. I feel like we need another setting on Track Mutes which allows us to set the Mute style to Audio or Midi. Audio Mute would cut off immediately, and Midi Mute style would allow the audio to trail/fade out with whatever tail is present on that track. What do you think?

I would love them to add a new warp mode that is based on pitch (like actual speed of the sample, not a pitch shifting also), so you could change bpm and your samples would speed up/slow down.

Hey Bolo! Thanks for the tech support it's very much needed. Question, on the MPC Live 2, I can't seem to arm the audio to record vocals or external synths. Is this an update issue? Since I switched over I can't get it. Any words of advice?

It would be nice to hear the midi notes while adjusting them in Grid View. But Akai has been doing a pretty good job so far on the Beta.

For Splice samples to be auditioned and working again in MPC 3 go to Splice in Preferences menu and sync the files. That should do it.
