MPC Key 37, The Perfect One
Recently AKAI released the all new MPC Key 37 and although I don't have mine just yet I wanted to take the time to talk about some things I like about it and why it's the perfect blend for modern production.

MPC 2000XL - Making a Beat Using Old Sounds

Ever decided to load up some old sounds to see what they would sound like today? I wanted to know what a beat in 2023 would sound like using some of my old drum sounds from 2002 so I decided to see what I could come up with. //Gear Used in this video MPC 2000XL - reverb.com/marketplace?query=Akai MPC2000XL&product_type=keyboards-and-synths // Let's Connect on Social Media Instagram - instagram....

Why I Got A Roland Xv-3080 #roland
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 11 měsíci
I recently picked up a vintage Roland XV-3080 synth module. I used to own one back in the early days of my production career and now that I'm essentially back where I begin with hardware, I thought it would be nice to get another....so I did! and it has a tremendous Range Of Sounds, Versatility and Quality too.

With the mpc 4k you got everything you need
thanks bruh
Rest in peace machine 🙏 😊 welcome home akai
Amen! Everyone should see this.. I've been ranting for years about hardware synths.
That’s a big mistake IMHO. I too came from the MPC range; my first was the 2000 in ‘98 before getting the XL and various others. I’ve had 14 of them in total, but the workflow in Maschine is faster. I started on Maschine with the first one in ‘09 and it was pretty limited at first - and there’s still things NI needs to add, which they’ve now stated that they’re working on and looking to release later this year - but (to me), it’s about state of mind. Maschine is as real as you want it to be. If you look at it as just a controller and software, then that’s all it’ll ever be. I see it as far more real than that and there’s always the Plus model if that’s what you need. Akai may think it’s game over with their recent MPC 3.0 announcement, but NI seem to be playing the long game and may (yet again) have the last laugh. I wouldn’t retire my MK3 and Mikro MK3 myself and if I did, it’d just be because NI had brought out an MK4 model!
MPC 4000 still sounds radio and commercial ready right off the unit! That’s incredible how it stood the test of time.
In going back to my maschine mk3 after a kind of disappointment with push 3 workflow and that stupid buttons. still got my 4000 hooked with some old samplers when I want that sound.
Nah use maschine with bitwig and moss implementation man
Word! Not even a USB here
Nothing ismor3 simple than Maschine plus I understand you not wanting to turn on a computer though.
Well you should have bought the Maschine plus
I bet all are cracked version. No way you paid for 400 plug ins
Nothing can beat a Mackie Mixer for the bang for bucks. Have a 1604cr and 24 8bus mixer from that brand and 2 pairs of HR824.
Have you any videos where you play a full midi file song through the XV 3080?
You want to know what We Use, Well I am a KORG Man, I have had a TON of Instruments since the M1 Came out, I use to Love the DX7 Rhodes sound that Bellish Sound but FM doesn't cut it overall, Roland has a Dark Smothered sound to Me I had a JV1010, I have a XV5050 and XV2020 and they sound Dark, XP30 Dark -- I use Korg M50, N1R, X50, NS5R, I am mostly into Electric Pianos and Acoustic Pianos and Pads with Pianos and as a Gospel Musician I feel Korg touches the Spot, They seem to Care More about their SAMPLE QUALITY, This M50 is a Baby of the M3 and It is All I would Need, I have some Yamaha cheap stuff QY100 MU128 and had a SY85 Synth a long time ago but KORG Patches MOVE ME on the Inside.
Did you try Keyscape and Trillian? Along with Omnisphere, Eric Persing did the sound design (Spectrasonics). He as the chief sound designer of Roland from 1984-2004. The problem with older hardware, it is going to fail sooner or later. Some things can be repaired and some things cannot.
Had one (and a XV 2020 and a JV1010) sadly sold them and changed them with sme kind of mobile device. The old sound modules have some strenghts, although MIDI DIN is not very common .
Logic MPC sync do NOT work with those settings. it always chokes on start, and takes about half a bar to catch up
I love it, I just make everything in MK3 VST on FL and drag in either the midi or raw wavs
Dope 👍🏾 Thanks for sharing 🙌🏾
I've had my xv3080 with several cards for 20 plus years and still works great. And you're right I'll never get rid of it. I love hardware, can't do the plug ins
you have changed my game with this hot tip. THANKYOU!!!
1 min in... alright youtube, b4 we get started!
Can this module be driven/control by a Roland G.I. 20 using a guitar with a GK3 midi pick up? How about a 5080? Thank you.
Love your content. Very informative and helps the user think about the obvious. I deleted a dumb question after giving it some thought. Thanks
Love the Mk3 but hate arranging inside of machine software.
I thought I was gonna see you with two XV-3080s LOL. 2:03 Oh you got SRX-05 that's the last good Roland expansion because it's the last Spectrasonics expansion.
I just got one for like $300
Roland pretty much ruled the 90s esp the JV series on nearly ever R&B record of that era esp Rodney Jerkins being a heavy user hence the Harp sound on Brandy & Monica - The Boy is Mine. I have the Roland Integra-7 in my rack that includes all the sounds of the JV-1080, JV-2080, XV-5080, plus modern Jupiter sounds. Its got some sounds from the JD990 as well. I'm pretty much hybrid these days as I use both soft synths and hardware rack mount synths. I own most of all all the sounds of the 90s and 00s in my rack from Motif ES, Fantom XR, E-MU Proteus 2000, Mo' Phatt.. I even got the Korg Triton software too. Its something about hardware that software can't replicate esp analog warmth.
I have both Maschine is better then MPC workflow
He could just write that down 🤪
For me, I never used those old ones so I'm looking at something new and different. I have an Arturia Spark LE, I should just use that, but I love the 4x4 drumpad. I got the Presonus Atom drumpad and it feels great for snare rolls.
ty bro ive been wondering how to do that for a while now🙏
No problem. Glad I could help.
I own a 2080 and absolutely love it! The expansion cards for these units are incredible, especially Vintage Synth, Techno, and House. I'm a huge fan of both plugins and hardware synths (love the V Collection, Diva, Serum, etc)...but I find the richness and polyphony from the 2080 to be almost unbeatable. Of all the hardware synths I own, I would be hard pressed to say it isn't one of the most useful, it is definitely up there with the Hydrasynth, Digitone and Analog Four despite being 25+ years old!
Is this still relevant with the new version of logic Pro? Thx
Just upgraded from the mkiii to the plus. Looking forward to getting it in the mail! Love my mpc too :)
Got the key 37 on day 1 and it's my first MPC experience. I really don't think I'll need the ssd, due to the sd card and usb slot. I don't use a lot of samples (mostly drum one-shots) and the sd card holds 100s of samples with ease. Hopefully stems won't give the 2gb of RAM too much trouble, but we'll find out when it releases.
i found a xv 5080 at a pawn shop for $250. excellent unit! I paired it with my mpc key 61. dope combo
I agree. Plus it's still easy like I've done on my other MPC'S to add a USB hub and an external hard drive. My MPC ONE+ and MPC ONE both have 2 TB drives attached with Velcro underneath. Works perfect and it only takes a minute to plug something in 🔌
Its marketing moves, they sell that version, and then they will realise MPC KEY 37 SE with 4 gb ram, ssd drive and retro colour). Just my opinion.
No internal drive, and 2gb ram. The Key 37 is basically an MPC One with a midi controller.
Exactly and that to me though is why it's the perfect setup to grab! You don't have to hook up an external midi controller to it because it's all built into one unit and Im not concerned with the lack internal drive because I can just add a big SD card in the back of it.
Fact's
Leonardo DiCaprio Meme pointing at the damn TV! Wolf of Wall Street! You said everything right!
Lol ....thanks 👍🏾
Great video. I needed to hear this even though Im a year late from seeing this video. I never truly mastered my 4k because of life events. Was about to jump in the water and grab the new akai37. Now im gonna chill for a while and just rock with what im working with.
I’ve been running my mk3 through FL studio for about 3 years now. Best decision I’ve ever made. the 2 integrate surprisingly well. Drums hit harder too without having to mix. I respect your opinion tho
Cool Video bud. I use a lot of outboard Synths, Samplers and Drum Machines.
I have MPC Beats and NI NI software is way more intuitive than MPC Beats. IMO MPC’s hardware look better than NI but NI workflow is better.
Late last year I discovered the Kawai K4 synth. Wow! If you get a chance to check one out do it. They're dirt cheap but sound incredibly good. Great for pad sounds and lo-fi vibes
I sold mines bro....I use my mpc live when I'm on the couch and my X when I'm in my little studio.
