Quick thing I want to make sure is clear... The MPC software includes all the new stuff from the 2.10 update, including the plugins. And, because this is software, you can load in your own plugins as well.

@maximnoize8760 2 года назад

It has also presets for all kind of midi controller under midi learn, you also can use multiple Controller together 4 one setup 👍✌

@lundsweden 2 года назад

I believe this can run as standalone software on PC or Mac (Intel only) or embedded in your DAW, kind of like a sub MPC DAW within your DAW (visualises Russian nesting dolls).

You can also use the touch strip to adjust the volume of any pad by pressing the touch strip button, then using the data wheel to go to "Pad Level" parameter, then use strip to adjust...instead of having to use mode>>pad or channel mixer... Awesome feature for mixing- as you already know.

Dude. I was thinking along the same lines. Akai as done it at least twice before; the Touch paved the way to the Live and the Renaissance is the ancestor of the X. What I'd also love to see is an app for phone or tablet to add the screen as well as I/O similar to the ONE.

@Drrolfski 2 года назад

Nice one. I would love to hear your opinion (after thorough playtime with it of course) on the following criticisms I've seen: 1. The lack of dedicated q-link knobs. Do you really miss them or does the touch strip sufficiently make up for it? 2. The vastly different layout in general compared to other MPC devices. Is this one better to justify adjusting to what you've learned on the MPC One or is this not a problem to begin with?

This thing seems sick. I got the MPC one a while ago but I kinda wanna get this too to place at my PC since the MPC lives somewhere else. Kinda decadent I think the design on this is actually hitting what you wanna get out of a machine like this.

@regend762 2 года назад

If you connect the MPC One to your computer, it becomes a controller for the Akai software. So buying a seperate controller would be redundant.

@okeribok 2 года назад

The now discontinued MPC touch might actually be a better deal if you can find a used one. It has the exact same “face” (and touchscreen) as the MPC live mk1, but contrary to the MPC Studio mk2, it also includes an audio interface. It also came with the MPC 2 software, but the launch MSRP was way higher at $799.

@JakeSweeper 2 года назад

Heh... almost bought a used one a few years ago because it had a nice all-in-one layout that was appealing. But alas, the Guitar Center that had it for sale misplaced the power supply and I wasn't going to buy it unless I saw it work. :)

@ItsJustEmK 2 года назад

was not expecting this! really curious to see how possible it is to use it by mainly looking at the lil OLED on the device, because the MPC Software can be a bit clunky on PC even though it has all the same functionality. MPC Software works best when focused on one thing at a time IMO

@GabeMillerMusic 2 года назад

It depends on what you're trying to do, a lot of stuff that doesn't deal directly with samples still relies on the screen. I actually kinda like the MPC workflow being more spread out on the screen, but that's personal preference. There's definitely reliance on a screen for both the standalone and controller versions, it's just in different forms.

@indigosnow_ Год назад

Is this worth getting for the pads and finger drumming if I have logic pro? I don't really need the MPC software but it seems fun

@Maochan81 2 года назад

It's certainly a good package for the price for someone who starts up. I just really don't understand why there are no q-link encoders. I guess a novice won't miss them, but still...u only have to big knob and the strip to control parameters.

@JimGray65 2 года назад

I just bought an MPD226 for around the same price. I was thinking of taking it back and getting this. I am new to MPC so I am not married to the MPD yet.

Also, I have been using Ableton and FL for years but am liking the look Of MPC Studio software.

Keep the MPD. It will be compatible with hundreds of software versus a controller dedicated to just one piece of software.

@JimGray65 2 года назад

@ALMIGHTY KCLAYTOVEN I haven't used FL in a while. I mostly used Ableton. But I think MPC Studio can be used like Ableton, Cubase, or Logic. You can use your mouse to create beats, but I also like how I can bang out beats naturally almost as if I were using a hardware MPC. The software and the controller seem like they are a perfect match whereas most midi controllers work well with most DAWs but there are always a few minor things that might be missing or something. If you are mostly using a mouse to program then FL is super great but I am fascinated with learning how to use the pads and mouse together. I do not think I would want to only use hardware.

I'm not sure, I'd have to try it. But I imagine at least the pads would be playable with anything. Custom features probably wouldn't cleanly map to other DAW functions though. If I recall correctly, you can use the MPC software as a plugin in your DAW of choice, but I'd need to double check that.

You strike me as an Ableton user. You should speak more on the transition to the Akai software. I am a Cubase (14 years) user, and a Bitwig user (this year...its an OG version of Live). But the Akai MPC software is SO "me...I need you to re-learn everything for me". I've never touched it...beyond launching it and being instantly annoyed (keep in mind, I have MPC 1000 JJOS edition....no newby). I bought the MPC Live 1, early on. So I have learned the work flow, heard the presets...I do not make "trap beets" and "hip hop". The original Akai/Dave Smith units were "style agnostic". The newer range of MPC can also achieve the same status as the Akai rack sampler, IF (like the 90's Akai units AND Native Instruments software) they do not tailor themselves to a specific genre.

If a company/manufacturer, can incapsulate your sound...well....you're played out. If you can take some sounds, F'm them up, and make something new...you're on the right path.

So my question is, is this better, or just different than the MPC One? I think the MPC Studio 2 might be better for me, as I'm working in the box these days, plus the price. I think you could buy three of these for the price of the MPC One. The pads look bigger too, like MPC Live 2 size.

Nope, it comes with the controller

I have watched many of your vids , they are as excellent as your finger drumming. Because I'm a complete newbie to this , I'm almost afraid to ask ,excuse me for mot knowing the correct terminology : did I think you mentioned that you were able to bring in some of your own samples into the software , is that correct? Because all I want to do with this is play some chord progressions add drums & my own sounds , like dialogue from old movies /etc. - chop them to play on the pads then stem it all out to my daw for adding my real instruments. If you can decipher this please let me know . stay creative .

@GabeMillerMusic Год назад

Yep, you should be able to do exactly that. You can bring in your own samples, chop stuff, process stuff, play/record parts, there are even chord banks built in so you can load in an instrument or sample and then have one-pad chords. And then yes you can stem all that out, which I personally prefer to do for both MPC and Maschine stuff (in my case to bring it into Reaper).

Wondering Why Roland did not launch similar device. having all the Technology and zen core engine.this unit is like MPK mini without Keys but with control buttons... Interesting strategy by Akai.... Somehow like Native Instruments Machine....

@GabeMillerMusic 2 года назад

@@JGW-im3nf I disagree, it's a good device. It's a bit of a weird one, but Roland has a long history of dropping weird devices that recycle tech from other, more popular devices. I think they'll be just fine.

@JGW-im3nf 2 года назад

@@GabeMillerMusic they dropped the ball on the New Roland Fantom and they had a opportunity to drop a new version on a MV8800 to compete with the MPC Live. The MV-1 would’ve been a hit if they did better with a screen and made it battery operated.
