Vinyl Sampling on the MPC Key 37 is Special!

I wanted to sample some vinyl on the MPC Key 37. So, I picked out a classic gospel record and did some boom bap.

Haha!!! That’s 100% bro. I was JUST thinking that

[@AveMcree]

😂😂😂😂😂I’ll slide you some gems

[@CurtisC685]

I’m not afraid of drums in my samples anymore. Wasn’t easy, but I learned how to work with them to re-groove. Now I prefer having them

[@MusicianParadise]

That vinyl tip is very cool. I'm just getting into vinyl and that darker grooves tip is excellent!

[@AveMcree]

I got you guys

[@maxwelljangulo8712]

I'm glad i bought one of those 🔥

[@strangesoundz2488]

OMG!!!! Them Pad Thai Drumzzzzz is ugly!!!!! Loving It!!! And you are absolutely right about the grooves!!! The Darker the Groove, The More The Beat Moves!!!

[@yungstigmatamanne]

wow i heard something about the look of the grooves showing the less busy parts of the record from an alc interview but he didnt elaborate and i have been curious for a while, thats so dope i appreciate the tip

[@Ibantar]

This is 🔥🔥🔥👊🏾

[@headspaceaudio7745]

This is one of the selling points for me. Just ordered it

[@MrMrDeeCee]

Didn’t want that to end !!

[@theblackdepths7322]

This is what I wanted the Korg Microsampler to be if they made an updated version

[@BillyVintageBlass]

Aye Ave @0:25 thats a veterans gem, which will STILL go right over many peoples heads... Lmaooo...!!!!

[@mb2776]

ngl, the form factor of the key 37 does look really nice! Still happy with my mpc live 2 but if akai would step up their game, I'm interested!

[@MayorMafia]

Listen...... I just ordered it (key37) I appreciate the vids.... used the Live before..... I run ableton as a Daw, and had the push, switching to the,37......

[@Pauljallen15]

[@nielswendt]

Damn, that beat is so smooth. Just got my Mpc Keys and love how it sparkes my creativity although I’m new in the Mpc world. Do you know when your masterclass will be dropping?

[@tutankhamunwhite665]

Can you do a step by step tutorial on sampling?

[@TheNathtube]

Nice beat, can you trigger samples in a drum program on the keys as well as the pads

[@Brooklynsagemusic]

Aye man… anybody tell you look like NORE a little bit? Every time I watch your videos I always get that feeling 😂

[@Sarah2ill]

LETS GOOOOO!!!

[@djxia1]

Naw dat beat cold as hell

[@PRODUCEDBYAD]

Man it's gonna be a while till Akai makes a new gen MPC. Good thing I'm still happy with my live 2 n midi keys but this thing does look nice

[@MistaServe]

Heat!

[@ESos973]

Do you suggest purchasing the The live 2 or the Mpc key 37. Im on the fence.

[@SmokingDopeCity420]

Yessiirrr

[@AveMcree]

🫡

[@soniksource]

i still don’t understand why the keys and the pads are not integrated. I mean sometimes it makes sense to have the chops spread over keys.

[@slakk5093]

this is what frustrates me with modern Akai. Like such an easy win, just add it in

[@marcthompson1467]

Yeah it makes no sense. Defintely a deal breaker.@@slakk5093

[@HIFI1965]

I'm flumoxed by this. How is this different than other MPCs? I'm not casting shade on the device. I really appreciate how Akai keeps older models in the loop. But I have a Keystep and an OG Live.

[@hilarymockewich5588]

its not different except it has a keyboard and some more ram. can you fit it in a back pack? probably not. I had a one and traded in for a live ii. at home i have all kinds of keyboards so i dont need this but can see why someone would want this.

[@R.G.777.]

​@@hilarymockewich5588 this doesnt have more ram, it has 2g! The key 61 and MPC X SE both have 4g of ram

[@Laze-Mz]

they all run and do the same stuff just different form factors . these come with the software pligins so i think thats the selling point

[@Laze-Mz]

this has only 2b ram tho so it wasnt upgraded @@hilarymockewich5588

[@ThaMizphit74]

There is no difference. These Akai shill ass content creators are just milking the fk out of the 37 because it's the new new. lol

[@LeoColtrane]

Peace @AveMcree... Can you chop slices by tapping the keys? Then in the sample edit page use the keys to select, trigger and edit samples as well?

[@AveMcree]

yes

[@LeoColtrane]

@@AveMcree dope thanks. Wonder if the 2. 13 update will allow that on the Live and a controller

[@hilarymockewich5588]

you can do it on a live ii which means you could do it on a live i think. @@LeoColtrane

[@LeoColtrane]

@@hilarymockewich5588just updated to 2.13 on the Live 1, unfortunately playing the keys only triggers samples, but it doesn't select/switch the display to show those samples or slices. When you play the keys, does it change the waveform on your display or just trigger the samples?

[@LeoColtrane]

@@hilarymockewich5588 Update: According to Yaahn Hunter's demo today it's not possible to create slices using the keys in Sample edit mode like you can by tapping the pads

[@goblin8319]

I wanted to ask about the MPC One plus I just bought me and I have it all connected but when I put it on midi controller the MPC buttons dont match is there a template or is it my OS system on my Mac . Please respond I need HELP 😢

[@frankcoronabeats]

Does it have scale lock?

[@dopeMike_]

Good sh!t🤙

[@JackJazzm]

🔥👂🏾🔥

[@mixwell24-7]

What interface are you using to connect the turntable to the 37?

[@Reggi_Sample]

Put some new sounds in the EP133 😢 you were my inspiration haha its a whole thing though speeding up chopping changing to mono and 16bit just to fit some extra space but then you legit got another few weeks outta it. The EP you use when you wouldn’t use the others. You not taking the 37 to the 🛌 or 🛁 😂

[@AveMcree]

lol I sold my EP-133 a week ago

[@PianoMan-hx3ev]

Can you put the sample onto the keys?

[@tmgtrapmobgodz]

Do 137 bpm what's the name of the song....you did a great job 🏆📻

[@earlmonroe98]

Unc we already talked about this

[@airitout6760]

Does the keybed after touch ?

[@AveMcree]

yes

[@lpn369]

Yoo Ave simple?, Can u play 16levels from a vinyl sample on the keys ?

[@jhsmith1183]

You would just plut the sample in a keygroup

[@lpn369]

This shit sounds like a Wu-Tang banger!🔥🔥🔥

Are You Able To Spread The Sample Chops Across The Keys Like An ASR 10 Instead Of The Pads..!?!

Peep the Cissy Houston album on the couch

[@jaemez3247]

so you just running it like a normal MPC. cool

[@nalaeel219]

Does this have the MPC Stems function on it?

Give me an Mpc one,keylab essential mk3 in stand alone and im good.

[@eaglevisionmultimedia9823]

Ave can you show us how to access all functions on the mpc key 61 using only a mpc live 2. More like using the mpc live 2 with a controller keyboard and access the new features that are in update 2.13. Things that they say you can only do on mpc key 61 and 37 please. Like being able to play progressions , latch and playing chords and progressions with one key at a time using a keyboard controller and other features that you can only do on mpc key 61 or 37 pleZe

[@djchromatix4640]

A little different workflow than a sp1200

[@gnhard87]

Is this better than the 61?

[@nieprawdopodobniebystry2158]

No

[@ThaMizphit74]

No.

[@extendedplay8830]

Can you drop new music fam Any placements????

[@AveMcree]

I'm too old for placements

Ok that's it i will not get the machine plus this is the way to go

what is an Atlantic album, soul, with and organ..? ha

[@dredd1971]

If you want to stand out ahead of the rest, don't use sample packs. Create your own

[@extendedplay8830]

I don’t sample fam We’re real musicians over here !

[@santaslilhelper4945]

I thought using loops was cheating, so I programmed my own using samples. I then thought using samples was cheating, so I recorded real drums. I then thought that programming it was cheating, so I learned to play drums for real. I then thought using bought drums was cheating, so I learned to make my own. I then thought using premade skins was cheating, so I killed a goat and skinned it. I then thought that that was cheating too, so I grew my own goat from a baby goat. I also think that is cheating, but I’m not sure where to go from here. I haven’t made any music lately, what with the goat farming and all.

[@jcp813productions]

Exactly lol I wasted decades thinking I couldn’t sample and they never had the technology to trace samples back then… it was all fear tactics from top labels 🤣🤣🤣

@santaslilhelper4945 awesome comment!!! For real, most mfs sound like that in every single comment section.

[@santaslilhelper4945]

​@@djchromatix4640 its a classic copy paste I've seen floating around for a few years now, but it's definitely too real 🤣 Love the profile pic, wish I could get my hands on the rossum 1200. Cheers, and don't stop digging!

[@extendedplay8830]

Y’all can’t make money from using samples, make original music, period !!

[@AveMcree]

depends on what you sample fam

[@djchromatix4640]

Yo! if ur into making music, it better be much more than about the money. If u think otherwise then ur probably not an artist

[@CMagnificent2000]

I think that RZA, DJ Premier, The Neptunes, Timbaland, Alchemist, Jake One, Dr. Dre, Pete Rock, Organized Noise, Kanye, 9th Wonder, Metro Boomin, Q-tip, Bun B, Scarface and maybe a few other would disagree
