you are the best teacher. no fluff, straight information presented in really helpful way. Love your teaching style and it helps me more than any other.

[@malobeats]

Hey, you have no idea how much this means. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this encouragement with me. I hope to continue pushing and to be of inspiration. Much love and blessings to you, brother.

[@PenKely]

Sure is

[@thestygwyggyr]

@@malobeats They're not wrong at all. You're a natural and your passion for it clearly shows. Thank you for your dedication, for real.

[@nicethings]

Here's a 'bank through' method: 1. load up as many kits as you want to check out 2. create an empty drum track 3. in the main mode tap the left-side panel (vu meters) 4. use 'send to' to select the kits. Delete and Purge what you don't need, keep what you do; the empty drum track acts like a clone for others, it even responds to 16 levels and other midi e.g. it can be sequenced, automated. Hope that helps.

[@RickyTinez]

Damn! programs were life! This is tricky since all the other new features are cool, but I was afraid programs would get... chopped 🥁

[@malobeats]

the programs are still there, but the ability to bank through different programs being within the same track is no longer an option:/ my workaround this at the moment is have been loading a few track with kits, then using a midi track to sequence an idea. In the track view, you can route the midi out to any track with a drum kit, allowing you to audition different drum program. Once I settle on the program I copy events and put them direct on the drum track.

[@errliest]

Programs are just assigned to their own track now. All you have to do is create another program/track and copy and paste the midi notes via select all, assuming you are trying to use the same pattern with different drum sounds or whatever. This update seems legit and I feel alot of people will like once they realize that this update is bringing a lot of similarities that JJOS brought to the 2500. Which nobody is mentioning...

[@AndyMacMPCclub]

You can still bank thru drum programs by selecting your drum library folder then banking thru your kits on the selected track using the + and - sign. This means you can quickly swop out the program without having to store all the programs in ram. Independent track mutes per sequence is also coming to the public beta.

[@malobeats]

@@AndyMacMPCclub Andy, thank you for showing up and clarifying the this, really means a lot for us. This is grate news . Thank you for this 🫡🙏

[@AndyMacMPCclub]

@@malobeats anytime bro. The old skool methods are still there but now Instead of pre loading say 10 programs using loads of ram, u just load each program via the + and - until you find the right kit……Now when u save the project, u don’t have 50 unused programs :-). It’s way more efficient. Programs are still programs but are now referred to as Tracks. Even if u use the traditional song mode once independent track mutes are merged into the public beta, u can also use the arranger to finish your beat as-well. Users have a much better workflow for finishing productions. Audio tracks is also next level allowing you to track in your external synths directly on the timeline. Hope this helps.

@@AndyMacMPCclub This is a great explanation, not only how, but also why. Appreciate that! It proves a lot of comments wrong.

[@philippebackprotips]

​@AndyMacMPCclub That 3.0 is awesome. Still need to iron some of the coloring of the tracks as the text based thingy is a bit ugly. And my kid will now be sad to not be able to color pads in a single screen as we seem to have to go to the track edit to do it. Hope there is still.a way to do it w 16 pads on screen. But yes, it is a real gem.

[@kvmoore1]

Yeah, this is a real deal breaker for me too. Like you, I also like loading a bunch of programs in memory and just going through them. I like loading my custom drumkits up and having them instantly available when needed.

[@MrBlueHaze]

I adapted to using the program as a track, it isn’t necessary for me to load everything on one program if I am assigning each instrument to it own track. If I have the whole kit on one track it is the same as 2. But if I’m assigning kicks, snares, and hits to different tracks, then it makes senses to either simply duplicate the track or load up a all kicks program, all snares programs and etc for each track. It is just an adjustment in thinking. Use a mpc since 2xl, 1k, 3k, 4K and REN with each relearning the best way to use my tools.

[@famosguider205]

It would be nice to have a revert soft key option like an undo OR maybe undo will act as a revert when switching through programs. Another workaround is to load all your drum programs on different tracks an cycle through to choose your preferred drum program. Then delete the drum program tracks not in use. Great content as always brother. You have tackled a BIG question for me. Thank you. KEEP BANGING!

Still, it would be great if they fix the existing bugs. mpc is perfect if used like classic mpc plus some. But if you actually try to use it with external equipment, record to audio tracks or try some more heavy use of keygroups it falls apart

After watching you and a couple of the other guys. There's some reasons i will be staying on and older firmware specially with copy and paste sequencing and programs. I like creating different sequences and muting different parts and putting them together in song mode.And what you where talking about i do with drums and samples too. So im good for now.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Those different programs is what drove me crazy on the MPC. I guess we all just got different ideas and workflows.

[@coldskoolbeatz]

Same.

[@muppetpaster]

Why load them up then?

[@DocHalliday]

Same here, bro.

[@Mjygbjuytmhgy]

Same

[@ILLUDIUM_Q_36]

How you just load up your programs on a track and cycle through them. Switch track new program or the same program. It was super simple

[@iamKASETA]

Same here :/ I really like to chop my drum breaks and make drum programs where kicks, snares and hats are always on the same pads, so when you record a midi track for your drums, you can easily scroll through all the drum programs you've loaded before and pick the most suitable drums. So I kinda have mixed feelings about this drastic change. I understand that it helps to declutter your RAM and Sequences (especially for the new users) but at the same time - it breaks an existing workflow for the old users.

[@alecsbuga]

An easy way for them to do it is to be able to bang the pads while browsing so you can preview kits.

[@malobeats]

This sounds so straightforward and would be awesome

[@allpositivenetwork]

[@shasevere]

And i don't personally spend a day jus sampling and making chops but i have friends that do. You're not the only one sir.

[@ViiZionWorld]

the program auditioning is a big Phat NO for me. Its too much of a time saving ingredient in my workflow. I will not be paying for an upgrade that frustrates me and slows me down. Thanks for the info... I'll wait for an update. Maybe Akai would do better for themselves by including some big MPC Hip Hop producers in their software designing so these things would be caught at the time. Designing should include people who really use the product daily. They should bring back program and chopping into its own little workspace within 3.0 so producers can get in and sample, produce, chop, store, audition beats like you said. QUICKLY...assign it to any track you want... QUICKLY..... then hit Main to move on with the project... done!

[@solomonnorthup2168]

Glad to see my comment (and others) got addressed regarding the choice of OS to load at startup, a la JJOS. I'm guessing the support/upgrades will be discontinued for for the version 2.xx OS that many current and some future Akai owner's will opt to use. Meanwhile, the 3.xx versions will continue to get updates. JJOS updates both startup OSes. Also, does this mean 3.0 now supports 1000/2500 programs, like the 2.xx versions did? A lot of us want to see what Roland and Maschines next moves will be. For the "my first aka i" heads, they can't miss what they never had ( or never used). Thanks for the follow Malo.

Hi @malobeats, a useful feature would be when browsing drum programs hit "play" and that drum program would be loaded into memory and push the pads to preview the drum program still in the browse window. When going to another drum program those drum samples would be removed from memory.

[@billyoner8]

You are great man! Thank you very much for all the knowledge you share with us! It's been a couple of months that I bought Akai MPC One+ and I'm looking forward to buy your courses! I begin to learn with the MPC2.0. This new MPC3.0 looks very confusing. Is it beneficial for me to stick with the MPC2.0 workflow? My instict says that the 3.0 is a road that won't help me. I'm in my beginning of learning (although I'm 40 years old, but been a dedicated listener of hip hop) so i feel I have to make a choice and stick with it. Again, I'm greatful teacher!

Hey brother, congrats on that MPC and yes, I would recommend learn from 2.0 at the moment until 3.0 releases to the public. It won’t be as confusing since the same terminology is consistent between both versions is just a minor different layout.

[@marizuokereke7347]

Yeah, i build collections. In my case, I create and store keygroup programs from a modular synth. I wonder if they work, or whether it was just drym programs that could be saved independently.

[@malobeats]

@@marizuokereke7347 great observation. So programs are definitely still here and we could still store our collection of key groups or drum programs. The only issue here is that we are not able to audition or Bank through these different programs while being on the same track. I think you make much better example using key groups. Being able to stay on the same track and have multiple key groups loaded in your project for you could bank through an audition and select which one you want tostick with that individual track will be a bit harder now.

[@iam7zark7]

I think this new workflow will probably work for me. I am old and started on hardware before there were personal computers...really. I have followed upgrade paths on both hardware and software and faced so many workflow changes that I try to see the big picture. Will it take that much on my part to adjust? Will it stifle my creativity or interrupt the flow? In the case of my main DAW, it hasn't seen an update in a decade and is no longer supported. It may not do all that the current DAWs do, but even though I have some of them too, I continue to use an old, dead DAW. So, although I am stuck in the dark ages software-wise, this new workflow seems to be closer to the way that I work anyway. I have not seen or tried it in person, but it seems to me that if you wanted to have a "program sample pool", you would just make 5 to 10 "Drum" tracks loading in those 5 to 10 programs, rather than spinning through them on one track. You could mute and solo through them to test your preferences, or use the new mixer. If you have event information on track one that you would like to audition, you could send it with the midi routing or use "event copy" into consecutive tracks. Making smaller more focused and labeled folders of your programs helps too, with tempo and style naming. Thoughts?

I think there’s an option in the browser to load programs into a new track. You can probably just load up a brunch of programs into different tracks and flip through the tracks and audition programs like that.

Do you know if MPC 3.0 will let you time stretch midi notes in the midi sequencer? ie: highlighting a bar of midi notes and stretching them while keeping the relation the same (in order to make a drum beat fit into a bar)? this is something you can do in Reason/Ableton/DAWs so you can play drums without metronome and then stretch them to loop to the tempo of your track if they are off.

[@Fauxleroid]

They should have a browser mode that previews programs on the track. I only bought my MPC LIVE 2 around a month ago and I found it super confusing. It's only literally in the last week when I realised the beauty of being able to have loads of drum programs loaded up to scroll through. Being able to audition different kits on my existing beats underneath the synth parts is golden. I can create my 'god template' that way. I hope they do find a workaround for that. Right now though I just need the audio tracks to actually get much done at all. I am crying out for the multiple audio tracks because I'm going to be using it to record long sections of hardware synths. I was finding this difficult to do manageable long audio files in 2.0 but 3.0 has cured those issues.

Yes agreed. We need to browse and preview without loading Dude. Would be cool if you did stuff some stuff in different generes and dig into some different workflows. Pop or rock that uses more song mode. I can’t figure out how to automate stuff between section. Automate a Filter sweep between sections for example. The automation doesn’t stick for the different sections And organizing of samples in the browser. Being able to collapse by individual samples or group or key group. I can’t believe no one brings this up

[@okbrown]

😮.. dont lie to yourself this is not a work around, this is a failure. This breaks your efficient workflow where you can no longer work on multiple tracks. I do the same thing, make programs and assign them to their own sequences. And make as many beats or versions as I like. Especially when I am auditioning different drum programs I have made.

Okay i'm not worried anymore. The "getting rid of" programs was the biggest thing for me since I do the exact same thing where i make programs for different instruments (drums, bass, keys, guitars, kalimbas you name it), but now that i've seen i can still load my programs I think I'll manage.

Exactly, I’m uploading a new video hopefully by tomorrow explaining exactly what you just mentioned.

hey malo, great video... i also asked myself these questions with the programs and am still quite unsure whether i should upgrade. how does it work now with the stems feature? my workflow is as follows: 1. I take a sample 2. chop it 3. stem separate it 4. save drum, vox, base and “other” stems as separate programs. also save the original sample as a program. 5. i start building a beat with the original sample. 6. i change the program from original sample to “other” stem to see how it sounds. how should i do it now, will an easy switch still work? ps: i personally think it's a very bad decision by akai to get rid of the program workflow.

[@Tim_Smith94]

Question about syncing mpc to external source: Currently (any firmware before 3) when MPC is sync'd to external source, if you arm an audio track (1 or more)> arm MPC rec or over dub> hit start/play, it only records a blip (very small audio track) and then immediately unarms the track. Is this still the case? If so, Can you (or anyone) please report this to Akai. I use studio one and it hs to be the master clock source. I have no work around to record external audio. I really want to use my MPC in this manner. I'm not alone, but I'd guess it's under reported. I've created a KZbin video and Reddit post as an example.

[@Jersey_Eddie]

Was excited about 3.0 but to me it seems like it still has small issues that could be big differences to some people. Stuff that seems like AKAI didn’t realize until someone else notices it. Easy fixes or updates for sure but from the get go will need work arounds. Until than I think ima hold off on 3.0 even though I signed up for the beta testing.

That’s a smart move plus don’t forget that even though you upgrade all of your MPC’s to 3.0 if things get a bit too complex, you can always downgrade with a push push of a button. The only downside to this is that the project you have created in 3.0 are not going to be functional in 2.0.

[@loco323rhythm]

Programs and the whole layout is the whole reason why I usually only used my MPC for sampling and drum patterns on loop while recording my instruments and mixing the beat on my DAW. This new update will definitely have me using the MPC for way more than what I did.

Can i add 6+ plugin instruments track..?

[@lamonthunt3063]

If you want to audition sounds, just create a new track, you could always delete it if you don't want it.. A program and a track is one of the same..

I'm hope Akai doesn't pull a Windows Vista. The 2.0 is like windows xp.

[@rockdfunk]

why not create 6 different tracks for each of the 6 programs you've loaded, then scroll tracks to audition them?

[@malobeats]

This is the workaround at the moment . 👍

[@P-DOGG-db4oj]

Will the update have overdubbing for audio tracks

[@malobeats]

Thank you for taking the time and mentioning this. No at the moment I do not see overdub feature functioning. It only functions to rec from the start.

Very helpful video!

[@richdars2515]

I wish they gave us a choice on boot up to use 3.0 or 2.x depending on your mood.

If I create a song on MPC 3 standalone and save it would I be able to load that song later on my laptop MPC software 2?

[@CVinyl]

Which version is more stable?

[@malobeats]

@@CVinyl I like 3.0 so far a lot better. There’s a few workarounds that I will just have to get used to, but the payoff is well well worth it.

[@gushrecords106]

thx for the video very helpful do you think loading a live set with lots of different programs on different track with all kinds of mutes will work it seems to me like it wont be compatible i have many live set that i use for work and really need it to be solid to keep working akai don't seem to care about they users who rely on there system the way it supose to work

[@beatarcheologzt]

Man I'm disappointed. If Akai don't fix that I gotta stay w 2.0

[@fairnews7484]

You cant even record independent track mutes separately per sequence anymore on 3.0! Recording track mutes is the was the whole reason I got the MPC in the first place... What shall I do with all my projects (filled with recorded track mutes) on 3.0? It's simply incompatible! Evidently I will not upgrade to 3.0. Unless they correct this massive problem.

You can't audition while in the browser?
