I started FL studio in 2004.. It always felt like work to me. My girlfriend bought me an MPC for my birthday in August of 2023 and it changed everything I knew about making music. I've made so much music on the MPC and it just flows outta me. I appreciate you so much for being here for all of us noobs. Your channel is the #1 I always come back to for anything MPC.

I have watched a bunch of mpc tutorials because i'm looking to get one myself. This is the first video that made me understand the workflow directly. Coming from daw based thinking. Much appreciated guys!

This video is totally insane. Been wokring on MPC One+ for over a month and you made me discover so much. And you guys have great vibes! Love it

Finally someone that goes into the depth of working the MPC.... Great job

Just bought an MPC one and your man john has taught me so much in 40 minutes that several other creators haven't , I'd go as far as say that others have put me off but this g made me want to pick it up immediately, thanks for the video 🙏

Ok - yeah the red is nice… But other than that and WI-FI/Bluetooth - which could have been accomplished for $20 with a USB hub / WiFi’s module. 16gb storage is a joke… this and all MPCs ought to have 256gb minimum built it. The “new processor” is a straight up lie. It is the same processor across then entire line right now… I mean the $699 price point really ought to be like $499. AKAI really needs to look at the new PUSH 3 and think about what they should / could do better. In short - this will not be taking my money.

Just got my MPC One+ and this video is the best I have found at showing how to really use this thing!

The best of this video is that matching color scheme of the dude on the MPC hair, headphones & shirt.

Great video, concise, informative, fluid, thanks a million!!

YALL ACTUALLY MADE THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE

My man definitely did a good job in this video of showing you how to work it. I’m definitely going to buy me one but Akai, please upgrade the ram. None of your machines should have less than eight gigs of RAM.💯🤟🏽

My man just helped me make my decision. Great video for beginners and in general

Just ordered one in Gold and new to MPC so really appreciate this tutorial, I learn better when I can see and try along...Thanks

This guy explains it so simple. The best.

Thank you for this discussion. just ordered this, the Audient id24 and the Arteria mk3 49... Krazzy work

So great man! Excellent tutorial

Holy dang I think I need one after I move. I'm really impressed with how intuitive the interface is, that's really awesome. Also it's red.

Congrats fam for working with Sweetwater

Great introduction to the MPC One Plus!!

Mad chem fellas, looking forward to an additional vid / mini series, I think we all would have too much fun with that! ...hit it'

THIS was the joint I needed as a beginner, thanks!

I REALLY needed this!👍🏼

And he only skimmed the surface of what and how it can work - it’s so well engineered 🐝🐝🐝

So glad I found this video. I’m just getting into the DAWless situation by me and I really did need this information right here.

At last. This looks like a great instrument. Never before has a product made such an impression on me. Revolution! Turn. Starting from the shape, unprecedented solutions, to efficiency and this color. You know, red cars are the fastest. It's the same with production - on red beat machines production is much faster. I think this is a milestone in the music world, comparable to the discovery of the steam engine 300 years ago.

Akai better start listening

Been doing market research for over a month now and I think I’m ready to buy

This is bad…just bad…I love Sweetwater but c’mon AKAI! At least kind of hide the money grab play.

So how do we get this man to just teach us all like if we are 10 years old?

Excellent teaching 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Excellent course on the One+ ty

Absolutely brilliant

What we want is MPC 3.0.

definitely worth having.

Great introduction!!

I HAVE THE MPC ONE, THIS MPC ONE + ANT NOTHING DIFFRENT APART FROM THE WI-FI & THE RED FACE THAT YOU CAN GET ANYWAY, IT'S NICE OF AKAI TO BRING OUT THE MPC ONE +, AND IM NOT GOING TO LIE WHEN I HEARD IT WAS COMING OUT I WAS LIKE OOOOOOW MAN, IM GOING TO HAVE TO GET THIS ONE, BUUUUUUUUT SEEING THIS MPC ONE + HAS GOT ME SMILING CAUSE MY AKAI MPC ONE DOES THE SAME THING, FEEEEEEEEWWWWWWEEEE WIPING THE SWEAT OF MY HEAD, I DON'T NEED THIS I'LL LET THE NEW GENERATION BUY THIS AKAI MPC ONE +, BUT THUMBS UP TO AKAI MPC ONE +.

Just unboxing the ONE tomorrow with my studio guy,,the mpc to go with my Harp playing,,thank you for this video as the others were offputting and yours makes me want to get into it! thanks guys 🤵‍♀TuxedoDeb

very well done

I cannot understand why people are complaining. They took the MPC One which is already a great machine and made it better for $699. What's to complain about? People were paying $800 for the 1st edition MPC one.

Thank You, great video o./

MAN... ITS THE SAME MPC ONE AS THE OLD ONE ... SHAME

Akai is leaving the door wide open for Abelton and Native Instruments imho. Just with the Push3 having MPE alone is enough to "push" customers to Ableton. If NI drops the right standalone at this moment in time, with Akai disappointing its customers with bugs at launch and its focus on color way roll outs, it could gain a huge share of the market! Imagine an NI Roger Linn tribute edition harnessing modern technology like workflow, MPE, and yes superior sound out of the box, that would reset the bar as far as professional stand alone hardware! This is about culture step up or step off! The ball is in your court and changing the color of the ball ain't going to make it bounce any better.

I feel like you knew when filming this it was going to be bad. Virtually nothing new that really has an impact other than WIFI. The sounds are not a thing I think anyone asked for because we live in a sample-based music era and that was the least of the worries. I wanna like MPC, I really do, but what I am hearing from MPC owners and fans is that it looks like something other than care for the people that use Akai with the last few releases. I have an MPC one and enjoy it, didn't even know that Akai was working on a new one, but what is shown here is not enough to make me purchase it. Suggestions: 1 8 audio outs, 2 the ability to drag an effect from a place in the order to another, 3 the ability to drag and drop from the computer directly into the unit without having to use the card, 4 proper meters maybe on master bus so we can eq properly

...again what makes this thing so much more improved than the classic MPC's besides the color red & storage space; all this is pretty much moot these days with the advent of ZuluSCSI thanx dude(s)

Great tutorial

Thanks for showing us the mpc workflow in under 10 minutes

well explained that man, proper in depth look at this item, well done and at first i thought it was eminem

this was super helpful - i think i missed it but is it possible to have the ableton clip launch section at the top (where you can use the touchscreen) and the bottom pads controlling the internal drum sounds? Would be great to know if so

Will the new red color make our beats slap Harder? Asking for a friend.

Just wish they'd have upped the RAM a little. Otherwise they're moving in the right direction. I sold my One last year to fund Octatrack, but might consider getting this someday. We'll see if they beef up any other devices.

So... an MPC One but in red

They got Sweetwater doing doing their promotion now lol

20:01 @sweetwater has a good point. Would it make a change to the sequence if overdub rec, if let’s say I want to mute pad just partially lets say 1,3 only? Or is it only a life performance feature? Sorry have no mpc at the moment to check it for myself, but curious to know the answer

i asked for this years ago but the live mk3 will have the led readout under the q links. mark my words

Yo, this is stellar. I got my Retro One, but I want one of these, too!!!

Bro asking all the right questions

Hello all. Thank you for that excellent video! Detailed and precise information. You made it look like so much fun, wow! Much appreciated. Can you do one for the Akai MPK Mini Plus? I know nothing about any of this but want to learn. Is the MPC Key 37 or the MPC One+ too much for a beginner? Please advise. Rock rock on!!!

It’s 2023. How do these not come with at least a 256gig ssd. They give us 16 gigs up from 4. Gee, thanks for the 5 bucks.

I decided to one day get an MpC because it has a step sequencer just like how you use it in Fl Studio. And you can arrange your beats just like in Fl Studio where you make all your stuff on one pattern and then make multiple copies of the one pattern. And do a process of elimination in each pattern until you come up with a full song. It's easy to use Mpc One even tho I didn't buy one yet. To me, it's just a DAW in a box that,

Don't PUSH3 me cause I'm close to the edge...

Sick

That WiF/Bluetooth update is HUGE. It makes every other feature more accessible. Currently for my retro ed MPC ONE I have to connect via Ethernet directly from my ISP modem. It’s easy to connect externals to the USB and the SD, but at some point with firmware updates and plugins, you gotta connect to the internet. I’ve spent so much on gear that gets a big update within months of buying. I bought my Retro Ed ONE directly from AKAI PROFESSIONAL …. I wonder if they’d let me trade up for this + model? I can dream can’t I? Lol.

What I want to know is: is Akai trying to get into the faceplate/skins game? I’m hoping Live 3 is not a letdown as well…

The mpc 1000 was the last of the goat mpc’s that actually worked the way they should

Ok, just one question. Is this video supposed to be out now? I've just looked on Akai's website and there's nothing about the MPC ONE+. Also nowhere on KZfaq, at least not since 20 seconds ago. Hmm.

It's not even on the official Akai pro website yet. 😂😂😂 What's up!

D'Will what is VST quality?

No wonder John is the Product Specialist for Akai he's a great teacher.

Alright cool. MPC One was my first MPC. It's.... Pretty alright, though, "intuitive" would not be a word i would use to describe it. I think it tries to do too much instead of excelling at a few things. The pads are great for finger drumming.

I'm glad I didn't buy a ONE when the price went up to $799. I'd be hot 🤬 I was hoping they added standard size pads though.

Can you tell me if the drum and the kick in this machine can be tuned so it sounds like acoustic drums

This tutorial is remarkably precise

Good Stuff! But I have a question that was not mentioned is when you are on song mode playing sequences can they be mapped via midi with external midi controller to switch between them?

Hope u can do more than 8tracks

This dude ain’t no Andy Mac.

Can I transfer sound over Bluetooth?? Example: from my phone to the mpc. Is there a web browser ? Example: browse internet for sounds . Not just splice

6:27 Listen up Folks. You can make songs 3 different ways with MPC. 1. You can make your sequence the entire song length. Say if you need 80 bars. Then go in to delete the midi date per section. 2. Build Sequences per section of the song. Intro Verse Chorus Outro 3. You can Wav out each midi track to cut and arrange your Wav Exports

Can you update now over wifi that's a big plus for me

I tried connecting my MPC One Plus to my Bluetooth Speaker to the headphone Jack with my stereo mini Auxiliary cable & it didn’t work but yet it works on the regular black MPC One which doesn’t have Bluetooth or WiFi. If you have successfully connected a Bluetooth speaker to your MPC Plus can you please…let me know exactly how you did it?

$699.00...nice !

Does it do linear sequencing like DAW and old school Roland Fantom X linear sequencing?

Akai must be partnered with Activision!!! Micro transaction business model selling skins LoL 👊🤣👍

26:55 some one finally explain this chords tool ! thanks!

I get why Akai are trying to sell Fabric XL and all the other packs, but it's kinda weird. Sure they want to keep tapping you for money, but the MPC is a sampler. So you can just do the work and sample everything you need. And the Fabric XL stuff is all set up to catch your ear with each sound being loaded with effects. Which gives you work. You have to take all that junk off to make the sounds useable in a mix. So you may as well sample and get the sound right from the beginning. If you sample you don't need better specs than the first gen MPC Live/X/One. Plenty capable. It's only the Fabric XL stuff that bogs down that hardware. Bogs it down with junk you don't need. Boils down to your mondset. If you understand the MPC as a sampler which you have to fill up with your own conent to make your own music, and you are willing to put time and effort in, you are golden. If you think it is what Akai are now pushing in terms of all the extras they want to sell you, then you may be disappointed. The magic beans ain't growing into anything special.

Ok i have to ask. Is it worth it to jump from fl studio to this beauty???

Bro does his hi hats jus like me🤣🤣🤣

when I go into track mute it just shows track one . on the bottom right it shows time division TC And solo any idead why mine is different?

Akai should make Epic and creative Mpe Controllers..ITS time now

MAN WHY DO THE KEEP DROPN NEW BOARDS WITH NO UPDATES, JUST COLOR CHANGES 🤣. I DON'T GET IT! ALL OF THE INTERFACES AND SOUND ARE THE SAME.

Does Akai understand we can buy colorways third party?

Oh snap, first Sarah, now D'Will jumping ship too, from Maschine to MPC. lol

I'd love one in all black or white.

I bought saturday the MPC Keys 37

What happened to Andy Mac?

Everyone hating on Akai, very weird. I hope this does well, and sells to new customers BECAUSE I already have a MPC Live 2 and I want them to keep updating this platform so I don't need to sell my old stuff and buy new.

if it was black id get it but not red cant do red

They should’ve never did Roger Linn dirty back in the late 90s. Absolute trash device.

Hey yall, So my brother is a MPC2000 producer str8 out the mid 90's. Ive written and recorded countless tracks to beats he made on his original Mpc over my lifetime. So the Mpc was always there with me. But now i produce myself, so this is the very first time ive seeing the Mpc workflow. And no wonder he made such dope beats and i struggle to sequence and complete tracks using linear daws. Please tell me Why oh WHY is the midi controller pads like Mpd and MPC Beats software it comes with NOWHERE NEAR as intuitive or as easy and fun as this beautiful process i see on this video? I was excited to use the Mpd211 and MPC beats, when my brother bought it for me as a B-day gift, but in no time i gave up cuz its a total mess! Even as a plugin to a DAW its confusing and essentially unusable. I wont use the term workflow when describing them, because i find neither work, nor flow is achievable. So my MPD most often sits on a shelf as a cheap novelty item. Pads that i cant even custom program sounds to. Ive tried many many times and fail cursing every time. I'd rather learn to code and build my own software than navigate MPC Beats along with MPD Editor. MPD Editor?? Just why?? Why cant MPC Beats be a software version of the MPC? We need an affordable Akai software OF Mpc, BY Akai Mpc to pair with the affordable Akai midi controller pads. Dont just phone it in guys! I believe in you Akai! Keep up the good work, cuz this MPC One+ console is dope! ~Josh R. P.S. Apologies if i missed a release or remake, i gave up on MPC Beats a not long after its release.

how many years do i have to wait until i can get the 5000$ dollar collection of non AIR or akai VST?
