The ability at 19:24 to remember the bank you're in when switching tracks fixes my biggest issue with the MPC interface. This is such a nice quality of live improvement.

Thanks for saving me so much time by giving what you do so well !! Power in your simplicity

Your tutorials and everything you do with the Akai's are the best ever bar non PERIOD!!!!

Great stuff - new MPC user here, thanks for the run through.

Very professionally produced video. Nice job👍

Excellent mate! Great as always.

I’ve seen some 2.11 update reviews. Your video is Top 5 MPC X or Live. Great review. Now I’m looking Fwd to this update.

damn how I saw the shift of the initial chop already screamed it's just fire!

Great tutorial. Thanks!

DIGGA 🔥 👊🏽 ULTIMATE GRATITUDE!! THANKS

Great tutorial, as always your videos have been a great help for us beginners to the more proficient users. Your knowledge of these units is like Yoda 😎. Peace

That beat with the air Effects is crazy 🔥🔥

Cant wait until tomorrow to chuck Air Flavor on some productions, thanks for the overview

Thanks for another excellent tutorial.. There's no mention anywhere by Akai if the MIDI learn bug has been fixed, but I really hope it has been addressed in this update.

Thank you 🔥

You know it'll be good when the 'Digga gets on the case.... Booyakasha 💥

This changes everything

So sweet to hear good samples in use, compared to AKAI’s sound selection for their tutorial. Keep on!!

Big love as always dude

Tube I think your workflow is way better than the guys at akai. All they do is demonstrate their units. No A to Z training. Just hype. Thanks for your work

Yo this video is invaluable. I was arguing with guys at the MPC form about some of these features and how they will work.. thanks to this lovely video it explains exactly what my questions were regarding sound assignment and keyboard split ranges.

very helpful

Finally updated great explanations as always. Thank you TubeDigga!

Thankyou ,,,

Currently In SHOCK... At No Charge, These Updates Are Like Having A Free Interior Upgrade For A 1977 Corvette To The 2022 Version Interior... IMPRESSIVE, MOST IMPRESSIVE👍🏽👍🏽🎶.

Thank you for the preview Tube Digger. Great video as always! Do you have a favorite in the new update?

It’ll be interesting to see if the convert to sequence from song mode ignores the probability and ratchets like it ignores everything else.

Lets see if you have found new tricks with the update. Can't wait to get thru this vid when i have my lunch break lol

Hi, thanks for your videos! But where is the Velocity button now in the Grid Editor?? Its much more complicated to change the velocity with the „bars“ which u used for changing the „probability“ of the notes! Thanks 😊

GAME CHANGER

I'm so f-ing stoked for the new update! I got my MPC Live 1 as a B-stock for $850 at the beginning of Covid, and I've been extremely happy up to this point. This just sweetens the deal. I've been doing this for a while. I remember how excited I was to get my brand-new ESX-1 for $500 back in '05, and look where we are at today. I had the MPC500 (also $500 at the time?) when it came out back in '08 or '09, and that thing was a disaster. I recall that note polyphony was a big issue, and definitely not as advertised. I ended up selling it 6 months later through Craigslist to some music director of a church for $350 and never touched another MPC until I got my Live 1. Akai has really stepped up their game over the years, and I am extremely happy with this product and I am counting down the days until the 2.11 release date.

Great vid- thank you! Where did you get your Keystep knobs?

Awesome work as alway boss . Please use you super powers & ask akai to let us assign outputs to aux send . this way we can use external FXs . thank and keep up the Good work .

thanks! missed the amp sim, hopefully you will do a dedicated video with real bass and guitar, so we can hear what it does. Also, the tuner is a nice addition, but I wish we could tune the internal synths away from the standard 440hz (I love 432hz)

When you are in the old browse mode that lets you scroll through and audio-preview items in the sortable columns, can you favorite kits/samples/etc. or do you have to be in the new sounds browser to set favorites? And is there any audio preview in that new tiled sounds mode? That is a huge missed opportunity if not. This has been the biggest dealbreaker for me with MPC compared to Maschine where I can browse through my sounds/presets/kits and set favorites so I can easily recall stuff I like later. (I own both but this particular issue drove me crazy and was why I switched.)

Can the tuner get the key of a sample instead of using the key detect ?

God bless, greetings brother. Does the new update allow one to preview/audition the plugin sound presets & can a midi keyboard be affected by the note repeat/arp, thanks? 👊🏽✊🏽💪🏽⚡🔥💥💫✨

Are there any other undocumented additions like the slice automation? And have they fixed the bugs?

Hello Mr Tubedigga and as everytime thanks for your work.. I have a precise question about 2.10 bugs and fixes in 2.11 - do "project level" q links save properly now ? If assigned to a return, submixes or master fx parameter, they simply don't save with the project ... Same problem occurs with midi learn with midi learn on these parameter... So I hope so much a fix in 2.11 :) - midi note off conflict between two midi or keygroup tracks receiving different midi channels but cutting each other on one midi note off. - and a so.important improvement : reorder of track and sequence ? Thank for your answer :) cheerz

Hi, unfortunately a new problem has come up since the update I have strange qlink jumps when I change a preset in a MPC standalone plugin. And in standalone you still can't copy or move automations, select all notes in the grid window, Q-Link as midimap, Midi learning like Q-Link learning on the fly, move/swap channels and FX with drag and drop.

Looking forward to the update! Any chance on updates to the Masterclass series??

if rakim does a new song he needs to get with u man I'm digging the background BOOM-BAP. BEAT SO GREAT

How does it look on software

does anyone know if 2.11 will support mpc rens and work on the m1 macs ?

Anyone know if it's stable now ? I've seen a few post on reddit where they said it crashed a lot, been waiting a bit before updating but can't wait, love the new features Thanks for this video 👌

My Guy

Nice video. I was hoping setlist will allow to seamlessly move from one project to another. It doesn’t seem so :( also no program change for the internal plugins

Jungle , IDM etc just got a lot easier in MPC with Slice automation & Ratchets. Good additions!.. Would you know if the Ratchets amount can be changed and also programmed into automation? e.g. ratchet amount changing per step

TUBEDIGGA YODA!!!!!!

Did they remove the preview from the browser?

The force has note filtering on midi. So you can plug in a midi keyboard, play it and filter to scale on midi out playing whatever external synth in the correct key. Still hoping to see this in the MPC line. Pad perform is great but you have to use the pads, and until the last update, you had to have pad perform window open to use it. I dont have the mpc now (sold it and ordered one yesterday after finding out about the update...should have just kept it since they have been updating like crazy), but i wonder if you can play a midi keyboard and filter notes on the internal instruments? OR do you only get to use scales with the mpc's pads which can be a drag when your riffing and dont know how to play piano:) Best feature on the hydrasynth for non-piano players!!!

@Tubedigga Could this 2.11 Software be controlled with an Akai Advance Keyboard? How well could the Software be utilized?

Not disponnible for live 1 ? or juste us first

Are you experiencing the bug where 3rd party VST’s can’t be saved as a preset to the favorites? Also, browse to save 3rd party VST’s without going thru four or five clicks/menus?

Hi Tubedigga, thanks a lot for all your mpc videos ! It realy helps :) I've got one question about this new firmware. Do you now if the bug of qlinks and midi learn saving are fixed or not ?

MIDI drag and drop or naw??

How and where is the update

The akal should be able to do arrangements too

Further to my comment below, it looks like they fixed a few not all of the bugs in 2.10. ……however they’ve replaced em with a bucket load more. Here’s a few of many bugs I spotted A. Mpc one . Unable to make first three automation sliders in step sequencer reach 100 % they only reach 97%. Think it’s only on the Mpc one though. B. Clicks and pops when changing a sample in keygroups to mono especially when release is higher. C. There seems to be a random midi controller being activated , this is not normally allowed in standalone , if you never attach a keyboard or controller you’ll never notice this . But you can eg. Operate the pads from a keyboard. Start, stop, record the sequencer. . And if it picks the right controller , operate qlinks. I wonder if they’ve done this on purpose, because it will only show up if someone connects a keyboard in controller mode. And enables midi control . They want you to use their new keyboard. That’s the cynic in me 😉 D. Looper don’t work in background no more , and along with audio tracks will not record if the unit is recieving midi clock. E. You cannot assign a sample from the sampler or looper to a pad on the first drum program, it just ignores it. You have to create a second drum program for it to work.

Oh you got an X again. 2.11 cool but new browser locked a few times when loading some kits that have zero issue w normal browser. Also no preview on the new browser apparently.

Great tutorial as usual, thanks! However the saving of favourite plugin presets doesn't work exactly as you describe it - or maybe it's me. If I edit a patch and then save it to favourites it does not save my edits, it saves the default patch. I assume you need to make your edits, save your patch with a new name and then save that to favourites?

useful video once again! thank you! do you know if Akai fixed the midi learn bug? any midi learn settings on master tracks cannot be saved...

So early?!! How did you get your hands on it! Thanks a lot!

can you load projects easily now? its been a while since I used my MPC One and one of the worst things about this great device is that I cant just open older projects unless I connect to the PC. I might be missing something and if you can point me to right direction in that case that would be great my g.

Did Akai fix the track mute problem where if you mute a track the pads in that program mutes also

So tell me Tubedigga. How did you paint your sides black? Did you take out the screws at the bottom of the unit like the in MPCSTUFF MPCX Wood Tilt End Cap Tutorial. Or did you do it some other way. Been wanting to this for awhile now but didnt want to take the unit apart. I did want to be the first to use tape and try that way because... well some errors can happen. Just curious dude. Thanks for the tutorials by the way. The last one your did on gain staging was good because it would be nice to know all the internal routing properly. I always likes how they used to put diagrams on old synths in that regards. Cheers

This makes you really appreciate how much more intuitive the Maschine is. The way it handles pads,chords,drums,oneshots with a single sampler interface. I still like the MPC but NI really got it right.

...so, did they fix the bug in the Q Links? Does it save your Q Link settings at the Project level?

Man I wish we could favorite drum programs and keygroups

can favorites be renamed? would be nice to be able to assign an LFO to the slice start ;)

more than OTT is missing

17:04 Activate Plugins eh? that's new isn't it?

Where did Pad Color control go? I really wish they would keep it on the menu

I still have the same problem akai told me 4 updates ago that it would be fixed 🤨. Nothing that doesn't let me use it. But in standalone on the 1st page it says "invalid serial number" wich doesn't make sense because you don't need a serial to use it standalone. All software serials work. The thing is i want to sell my mpc one and get a live 2 for portability... how do you explain to a buyer " hey it says invalid serial number on booting up but just ignore it,doesnt mean anything" and had already 5 potential buyers that said no after i tell em that, even wen i was willing to come down to half the price 🤔. I´m honest because hey,you can´t u Ignore it.they will see it. Then they think you are ripping them off with something and so i can't sell it. Wrote 3 times to support and one response with oh we will fix it in the next update. 🤬🤬🤬 anyone that has the same problem or someone with a solution? A reset doesn´t work btw....

Something that’s really bugging me right now is , I can’t find where to set pad colours etc

Disappointing that my splice samples don’t work

Anyone know how we export files in 2.11?

Hi Tubedigga, do you have a tutorial where I can route MPC software multiouts into Reason?

So no disk streaming... Congrats on getting X again. I hope akai sent you this one ;)

When can we expect to download this new firmware?

Is it anyway I can pay you for a hard drive with my info with the update on it and some samples??? Let me know

what does the new 2.11.4 do??

How did you get the new update so fast?

Once I sent you an email but I have never received a reply

It wors be nice if rhe bugs were fixed, the screen was way brighter cant even see it in the sunlight so portability is kind of pointless outside. Would be nice if bluetooth would work with no latency. Would also be cool if you could use 3rd party VSTs. A graphic band eq with dots to move anywhere for more versitiliry.

They don't show MPC beats no Love
