I think you are on to something.

I don't have a computer. I bought the MPC ONE PLUS and bought expansions but don't know how to get them on the MPC. I'm screwed!

I would like to see an MPC KEY XL.... 73 or 76 keys with a 10 inch tilt screen. They could sell it for around $3200...... i think i might buy that! 🤔

It looks like the Force workflow fits you better. Because I believe that what you are trying to accomplish can easily be done by using clips. You can install our Hakai firmware to test it out on your MPC. And if you don’t like it you can simply roll back to the official firmware..

At 6:45 is that different drum layers of sounds layer together in your drumkit?

🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🎉🎉🎉🎉 sheesh you did your thing. ✊. Respect. Learned something.

montage m is more for to work in a DAW and got better sounds over all

thanks Ben, more useful than you'll know. Roland support tutorials are extremely basic and the manual is not much better .....😋

Is just usb to usb straight as an any keyboard midi controller or it would need a sort of midi mapping ? I might gonna try one a small drum pad I have to hit the drums with a drum stick sometimes and get different flavours. I love your videos man, real educational with this awesome machine, obrigado!🙏🏽

That sounds really good. I think keygroups will have a lot of potential in MPC3

Hi, the expansion packs sounds great. I just bought my MPC live 2 and will be purchasing these packs. Do they install into the MPC like the other expansion packs from Akai?

I want one because I hate subscription services and always having to upgrade my plugins when I get around to upgrading my OS or get a new PC. I also don't like latency.

Are the fx part of multi-samples or they from using the mpc’s plugins?

Them sounds are very beautiful, sounds very professional super clean and warm , nice one Ben 👍

Man you are the mf GOAT 🐐 🏆..YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB AND I APPRECIATE HOW YOU DISPLAY THE SOUNDS YOU MAKE ME MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MY TRIAL AND ERROR WITH LEARNING MYSELF AROUND THE MPC WORKFLOWS THANK YOU IM LOCKED IN !

Hi Ben , 3.0 looks great , I imagine they’ll get the bugs out with this beta program. I would like to see an External Monitor Port , HDMI ? Would be nice to see the new 3.0 software on a big screen 📺 Thanks for sharing!

Wait these sounds! Whoa, your making actual sequences on an MPC in standalone ? WOW. I've always avoided this because I never thought my X or Live could handle it. Those samples sound incredible!

The fact is its free why are we all waiting? I would like to use it and put my 2 cents in. I am so sick of watching all these guys talking about a few weeks it will be available.

Ben, Back when MIDI came out we only had 16 tracks/channels and we used program change to change a track sound to another. Seems to me that's be the logical way to do that in MPC 3.0!?

Knowledgeable content 👌, niceeeeee wish list for the community, can you add to it an ADVANCE WAVETABLE SYNTH plugin like GROOVE SYNTHESIS hardware 🙏..thanks

Agree with this. Is there a date of full release of 3.0 for the MPC?

Hey Ben cool video 😎

🫡👍🏾🫡

🔥👊🔥 good call!

I believe we are at the last of the era of the current generation MPCs. I have a feeling Akai is going to start replacing each of the current MPC models with new versions containing updated hardware, faster processor, more ram, etc.... Maybe the MPC X SE and Key 61 will be around for a while because they already have 4GB of ram, but I have a feeling the MPC Live II, Key 37, and MPC One will be updated with newer 4GB ram models. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the MPC One was dropped altogether and replaced by the Key 37. I can see the Key 37 just being a better overall option for the entry-level price point because it is still very portable and it already has a keyboard, whereas an MPC One plus external midi controller makes for a clunkier setup. I think the Key 37 should be updated not only with 4GB of ram, but also with an expansion bay for an SSD. It only makes sense considering the fact it is a keyboard and the new 3.0 software has a disk streaming feature.

New MPC with real proces rs, like M3 OR more and more ram... I think it's time for a real change.

How do you install 3rd party MPC Expansion Packs into MPC Studio

lol thats not tube digga

One is just more REVERBY!

HEY Ben, any way to chop and play sample chops with the keys on the MPC Key 61?

Now with the latest firmware release, it should be more intuitive.

I really like the look for the new mpc 3

Good video and valid questions. I made a live stream about MPC 3 yesterday and the only concern really that I have is if we’re gonna have to use the touch screen way more than on 2.0. I hope not as one of the reasons I like the MPC is to be more hands on and get away from spending 99% of our lives looking at screens lol.

The fact that the stem plugin needs more juice says everything. Akai is about to bring the juice. Plus, Roger Linn is lurking around.

Great question, I believe the software is delayed because of the new MacOS (we know how it goes with Macs). Akai is definitely doing a public beta to ensure the new hardware launch is smooth. The new hardware will be a beast being able to handle warping samples and stem separation better in standalone. It will have to offer multiple USB C connections one for connecting to the software and the other as an interface connection to sent 16 ins and out. All hopes, but for sure they will add some APC64 features.

yep, simple example, the edit programm button is confusing for new people since there are no more programms to edit, only trracks. Akai wants to release new hardware with the proper writing above the buttons.

If they made new hardware that could load 3rd party vsts I would throw money at them for new hardware

It seems reasonable that new hardware would come to exploit MPC 3.0. Only Akai knows for certain.

Way to go without being a hater. Appreciate you.

Yes , more hardware is coming.

Good observations Ben!

Hmmm, why title the video "MPC Firmware" and show other people's footage of MPC 3 for standalone, when you're talking about the desktop software on your Mac?

The devil I do know versus the devil I don't. Frankly, I never cared much for the Force so I don't get how it's going to make things better. I'll try it but may be stuck at 2.15.

Good vid B, as always. You might wanna trim it at 7:08 forward. Looking forward to your further observations of mpc 3.0.

I have a m1 Mac Pro that runs the mpc software , I’m able to get plugins aswell ,

I KNOW CRAZY RIGHT❓️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Hello Ben 👋

Hi Ben, love your sounds and the fact you use your mpc for more traditional composing like me, just a note about the m1 Mac, I am a little confused,, I run my keys 37 in controller mode pretty much all the time and make a lot of use of all my vst and Audio Units, I have an m1 Mac mini and have never had i issues running the MPC Software alongside the keys, apart from the fact that vst3 is not supported and for some reason I have to use the audio unit versions of some plug ins as the software will not find some of the vst versions?
