Hi friends. I have created tutorial for you! I am explaining how I created my smallest live looping setup that is accessible also for you. With only 3 elements (old iPhone, Rode Ai Micro and Akai mini play) you can have smallest live looping studio fully self-powered and fully mobile.
My Sample Packs and this Loopy Pro layout you can download from:

Great tutorial, I'm really enjoying it although I haven't completed it yet, but I'm on the right track (I have to learn a bit more about Loopy Pro and how to assign channels and stuff like that). I don't use the AKAI Mini Play Mk3 but the AKAI Mini Play (they are very similar), and instead of the Rode AI Micro I use an Apogee One sound card (older, a bit bigger, but still portable: 2 AAA batteries), and both devices communicate quit well. I loved the chords in your tune, and I totally agree that the native value of AKAI's internal sounds are pretty decent when we add effects from Loopy Pro. Again, excellent tutorial, and thank you very much for your work!

Great video. Do you recommend this setup with loppy pro / iphone over a guitar looping station for relatively simple jams with the akai mini play?

@coffebeats 7 ай бұрын

Yes. It could be good for guitar looping too. Rode Ai Micro has two audio ins. So you can connect guitar and AKAI simultaneously 😎

maybe add some chapters for set up, tech talk and music sections?

Very cool - where does the sound go outside of the ai micro? can you just plug headphones in?

@coffebeats 7 ай бұрын

Yes. You can plug headphones to have direct monitoring or connect external speaker

Thats great! I m having latency problems using akai as a drum pad! Any idea on how to solve?

@coffebeats 6 ай бұрын

You need to decrease buffer (ms) in your audio program I think.

@KellyLearnsToWait 4 ай бұрын

hey thanks. Do you know if there are any keyboard snths that looping is already on the keyboard?? like MUST you have an outside device to loop?

@coffebeats 4 ай бұрын

I guess that MPC key 37 will be the closest to such a device. Maybe I will try it 🧐

@Jux925 3 ай бұрын

Anyone know Android compatible adapter and app by any chance? It would be great to connect it to portable speaker

@mato4025 3 ай бұрын

I don't have it yet but im guessing you should be able to connect it to a speaker via the headphones jack

@lucarossi0582 4 ай бұрын

Hi, do you know if exists something like the Akai mini play but with a looper integrated?

@coffebeats 3 ай бұрын

There is AKAI MPC Key 37. I think it is closest to ideal looping device. I hadn’t have it in my hands yet

@Sammy-jw2is 6 ай бұрын

Hey, is this the way to only record the mpk? As in the built in sounds, not any external noise.

@coffebeats 6 ай бұрын

Hey. Yes, with Rode interface you are recording only Akai without external sounds

Hello. Thank you very much for this video. I just bought the MPK Mini Play mk3. Already have Loopy Pro installed in iPad. How can I use it with the usb cable to connect to Loopy Pro? It detect my device as the input but there’s no sound coming out. Really appreciate your input on this. Again, thank you for this video.

@coffebeats Ай бұрын

You need also some audio interface for iPad like Rode Ai Micro that I used in this video. Mini Play do not transmit audio over USB cable, only MIDI data.

@bakabachi13 Ай бұрын

@@coffebeats ahaaa… no wonder I can’t get the sound to come out. Hahaha. Thank you so much for your respond. Appreciate it a lot. I will do that. Really enjoyed your looping session. I will follow your tutorial video on the setup. Again, thank you so much my friend. Looking forward to your next video. Have a wonderful days ahead.

@bakabachi13 Ай бұрын

@@coffebeatshi again. I’ve just got myself the Rode Ai Micro and it works. Hahaha. Finally I can play it using Loopy Pro. Just out of curiosity, is there any instruments and settings that you like to use always for the akai mpk mini mk3 play for a lo-fi mix?

@bdkekos Ай бұрын

Can you link to come of the cables used? My son wants to get into this but I am not an audio person. 😅

@coffebeats Ай бұрын

You will need Rode Ai Micro audio interface for sure. Additionally only mini jack cable will be needed.
