Wow 32 years ago I was working for Dr. George Shaw, PhD who created the FIRST MUSIC SOFTWARE PROGRAM for APPLE in the 1990 days, and he taught the first college classes on midi. I was lost then and still today returning to it, and it is a challenge beyond words. I have few words but as an instrumentalist since 6, this is like returning to being a child, starting to learn a whole new level, it is a challenge!

MPC Beats has two several major awesome features: 1/ allows me to show it to people and they can install it on their box without any hassle (huge) 2/ had "Beats" kits and expansions that are laid out super well on the pads (not something usually like that), very regular, colored etc 3/ Had controller mapping that seems to have been revamped properly for lots of HW. Great.

Please, I need some help... I've copied many times all the process, but when I arrive to the PADs I found that each Pad is one note, not a chord. If I play the "pad" on the screen (A01, A02...) it sounds the correct chord, but it is not the same on my akai mini. Does anybody know what can I be doing wrong? Thanks...
Go to 'Edit > Preferences > MIDI' and set the MPK to 'CONTROL' under input ports. Then in MPC Beats go to 'View > Browser > Midi Learn Browser' and under 'Global' and enable the MPK Mini mapping. If the pads still don't work you'll have to manually map them - select a 'New MIDI Map', hit LEARN and hit pad A01 in the software then hit pad A01 on your MPK, and so on for all the MPK pads.

wow really easy software to use and straight to the point. 1. issue I ran into so far was on the Akai MPK225 keyboard the sync is perfect but when you change the chords to record progression on the pads it only play one key and not chords. I can be on a different track (which is #7 as shown in video) and soon as I hit pad #5 the sound immediately exits the synth sound and goes back to the drum kit which is Track 1 and drums will play and not the synth . Any suggestions and help on that one??

This isn't a house track, this is a house LOOP. You need to show how to create the other parts of the song. Loopitis is a major problem, and tutorials like this just make it harder for beginners to have a chance of breaking out of that, if they don't know how to arrange multiple parts together.
@lynxxlynxx2 жыл бұрын
That's exactly my problem. Started with MPC Beats yesterday and since then im serching for a way to turn tracks off and on in song mode and how to make a whole song without manualy recreating all the sequences for it. The next part is just me complaining about the software experience: Also the whole akai package is a huge chunk of bloatware. First you need to register 3 different accounts, akai, inmusic and ilok. Then you register your product to get the downloadlink to their manager software, the manager software installs mpc beats and your instrument packages, but you can't change the install location. So everything lands in the C drive. That's my system only drive and I normally have all my programs on D. Oh but the serial key you get cannot be used with their manager software, you need to get another third party license manager! Isn't that great. And the best part is, the automatically installed ilok license manager is not working, you have to download the software from the ilok page, which looks like their maintanance stopped 1998. I stopped it there and decided to NOT use hybrid 3, mini grand or velvet. The akai mini is a great controller and mpc beats looks like a good piece of software. But I really wish the control over the install process would be more custom and professional.

it's not a house track by genre either--this is classic house. We *all know what we mean when we say HOUSE* lol we mean that Ibiza vibey stuff like you hear at the mall/beach these days or moneymaking KZfaq vlog music or corporate job tutorial music; this tutorial is outdated stuff you'd hear in the 80s at an Lgbt club (which is fine but not what people mean by House anymore and which will be incredibly difficult to make in MPC beats, it will require a lot of plugins and unnecessary overcomplicated finesse to make simple House beats). This program was made for old head Gen X people, not for young millennials/Gen Z genre beats. The only good thing is that it's an easily accessible DAW. I'm not trying to be negative but it's insane for them to think people are trying to make this type of music anymore or that this is House music that people need tutorials for. I have MPC beats and I have to go to other DAW tutorials for guidance??? Wow.
