"Go crazy with that one piece of equipment" - great advice. Back in the day, a home studio would probably only have a single sampler and a couple of synths and one or two FX units. There was no choice but to learn it inside out and use it as fully as possible. That got results as it was like learning to play an instrument. Now, a lot of people buy endless amounts of plugins that they only scratch the surface with on their way to the next plugin that will get them the "perfect sound"....
So true 💯
That's called evolution!
This is facts. I caught myself doing that early on in my beat making, then it just got exhausting and I got tired of getting new plugins. At some point you have to put in work to create a different sound anyway.
All mpc Or nothing
Yes! Creativity really do needs to be contained within boundaries to be able to flourish and have depth
Congrats on the sobriety Scott! We need you around for as long as we can. Legends need to be heard for life
This is why Akai did it, it had to finally be done correctly 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Scott Storch was the first on My mind when MPC key 61 was announced, He would be the number one man to get on board with it. Great to see him getting on the official Akai train. Well done Akai and thanks Scott.
Really? Him... 😆
Mix it through and SSL G series board and it’s golden
He was the first on your mind? Lol. How often do you think about Scott Storch?
@@DS-nw4eq Because He already worked with Akai Advertising the MPC X so obviously being mainly a Keyboard composer He would be the first person they would choose.
wow, AKAI is going above and beyond with this.
that's just what Scott said in the video 😩
1:33..... I'm stealing that patch lol
Grand Theft Audio
so good to see scott is better health
I was sceptical of the Keys when it was leaked but on actually seeing and hearing it I've been won over. Once this reaches my local music store I'll definitely try before I buy and I know I'm gonna buy. Big respect to Scott Storch one of my favorite musician/producers for endorsing this and to Akai for this product.
Great drop Akai. 🔥💪🏾👏🏾. Scott Storch blazes anything he touches. He has a river of beats and melodies flowing thru him. 🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🎹👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I ordered mine as soon as I saw Scott Storch endorse this which is my favorite producer I’ll have it next week.. thank you Akai
Having worked w him he’s the man, talented, humble polite, I was blown away.
Stars have 1 solar glasses he has 2.
They call him and prey he accept to produce almost one title for their next album
Akai claiming the respect they deserves to have in the 21st century. Large percentage of hits are inclusive of Akai. Respect to all Akai owners. A lot of work going on behind the scenes.🧡it.
This was very smart of Akai, no one really owns the keyboard workstation market but with this I think they do. I just purchased one of two left at my local guitar center, picking it up tomorrow.
😂
Akai left in the part where he asks for a cigarette.
Scott without a cigarette 😂😂😂😂 like pancakes no syrup
good news for the whole MPC line. We are all still onboard getting an even better platforms. Ill have to test this beauty in person 👍 love the improvements in the gui
Elon Musk got some fire beats 😂
scott storch = elon musk confirmed
@Icestro beats We will get MPC built-in Teslas :P
We will build a studio and produce hit record's from space - Elon Musk -
Just confirmed Scott Storch will be a billionaire soon.
🤣
The Worst Keep Secret in Music History The MPC Key 61. I Love It though 🤣 Great Work Akai🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
lmao! ❤
Yeah I remember seeing mock-ups for it years ago, ha
Been using the MPK261 for a few years now, can't wait to try the MPC Key 61 NOW!!! Thanks for making amazing music gears
As soon as I saw the MPC61 announcement, I JUMPED on ordering one. I knew Akai was about it and it such a great sounding instrument, plus the workflow, design, it's big enough for me to feel comfortable but still small enough to feel comfortable carrying around. This machine does everything I want and in an intuitive way, I never have to fight it, it just simply works as an extension of myself even though I'm not very familiar with MPCs. It's the new crown of my studio.
As a Kronos user this looks like the perfect 2nd keyboard for live gigs.
Man! That melody was fire! 🔥
Best workstation . All in one . Absolutely stunning !!! Bravo AKAI !!!
I just got this board, best ever , this synth is sick, man impressive
STORCH DEFINITELY OWNS IT WHEN HE GETS DOWN ON A N8CE BEAT STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s I love Akai Day! Thanks for the update!!!
Akai Professional always finds a way.. Grand Champion brand frfr
I could watch Mr. Scott storch play the keyboard all day. This dude is a master 💯
Heck yea! 🙌
One off human being. Greatest there is to this day
An incredible keyboard. AKAI has always produced great keyboards!
I now need one of this!!!
im such an akai die hard...this beauty will be in my collection
Bro this was made for guys like Storch. The king of simple Melodys that make legendary hits.
Exciting piece of kit, this is top of my wish list now
All the smoke, gas, and hype was absolutely worth the wait for such a beautiful and powerful sampling keyboard workstation. I just got the MPC Live 2 Gold Edition today, but I am still looking forward to soon adding this to my home studio, hopefully as an 88-key version if planned for production. Great job Akai!!!
I know bro! I want that joint.
Just hook up a midi keyboard to the one 🎹 and save the money 💰
@@SonicVibe If that was meant for me, I actually have two separate studio setups, one focused on DAW workflow where I would be using the lovely Akai Key 61 or 88 as a standalone / controller and the other focused on pure standalone where I use all of my samplers and standalone workstations... now including the Akai MPC Live ll. And I have have several thousands of dollars invested in my studio with no regrets, because I have the tools that inspire me and allow me to create the music that I imagine.
@@DeleswaProductions I mean the new air instruments are $900 for me to buy them so I guess you get those sounds at least
My question is are we gonna get different key models like 49/32/88 Akai
Bought my first Akai MPC Key 61! Amazing Keyboard/Workstation. Akai did a great job. Looking forward to future products:)
Best Akai hardware I've ever seen that'll definitely be my next purchase I been using MPC since the 90s
Rodney jerkins still use mpc 3000 and still make hit
Nah the X is Flagship Way more features and centerpiece.
One word-AMAZING!
Good to see a Super Producer chime in on the Key61
On my wish list✨💫
La vidéo qui me pousse à acheter le MPC Key ce soir ❤😊😊 . Ça sonne et c’est excellent 😊
Scott Storch opinion is gold in my book 👍🏾
really creative idea by akai to combine an mpc and a keyboard in one unit , so kool, best keyboard for urban music, iam talking hiphop,trap, dancehall, edm,reggae,rnb, unrivalled and unmatched by the competitors, roland korg yamaha dont have that raw sound, they all sound very traditional and universal on board type sounds, akai has the extra ummmf by including plugin instruments which are way better sounding than the factory type sounds you hear in the others, way to go akai, not perfect but no product is perfect, thats the beauty about tech today, a simple update and we are ready to go, great job akai, i got one, and i will be happy for many years to come
amazing product and producer!
Akai is the ever king 👑💎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yep I'm buying one. And I'm gonna go in
Akai Got The Right Man For The Job On Pushing This Product 👍🏽 Great Job Akai Pro 💯
This demo beat is SO Scott Storch style. Eastern-influenced melodies over a drum beat with a medium bounce.
The instrument is already so inspiring, but the man and his words amplify that! Already am an Akai user, and this just reinforced it…. 😊
Bless up 2 the KING Storch!!
Bought 1 a few weeks ago. I love it. I will say,...that Being an avid user of the Mpc's touch screen functionality it would be well appreciated if when in "Sample Edit" mode you were able to quickly touch the screen and the Q-Link functionality followed. I feel the inclusion of this feature would be a real workflow improvement for those who choose to use the touch screen for inputting functions rather than clicking through the Q-LINK button to get to the same point. Want to edit sample start? easy touch sample start on the screen and waaa laaa the Q-Links are in place for that specific adjustment...want to edit sample end..simply tough sample end on the screen and q links follow without having to cycle the q link button and so on. Thanks hope this feature is considered.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I want this!!!👌
Akai becoming like Apple of the production world😄
Some disadvantages:
1. Difficult change Time Signature after creating and recording project.
2. No button for select all notes on Grid View of a keygroup program or MIDI program.
3. No separate "Loop" button for each track in key seqence.
4. No copy function between USB/Int/SSD.
5. No add "Lock" pad button, like it have Roland FA.
It really came out!!!!!!!!!
No lie this beat Machine/keyboard is Lowkey perfect
Andy and Scott tho!!!
I can see some extra space for all 16 knobs on it... For 2k would be nice to have em there
What a waste of room, sad...
I don't know if this can withstand the pounding i give those pads. Would be nice if i knew how to play the piano though lol. I'd only consider getting something like this if it becomes more convenient than just having the MPC Studio and the MPK Mini.
I hope they make a smaller version 🔥🔥🔥
hoping for a 49key or microkey version. Bigup Akai! Now to lower the latency with external soundcard and its game on!!
49 keys then I'm in...thanks akai ahead time
Oh so you guys got better sounds and a stand-alone keyboard now …you giving NI a run for they money if y’all updated y’all sounds and coming with this🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥…i hope the sounds are really dope
They dropped this on the date they release the update
ni is trash in comparison not even close.
They are!
Yes!!
Good video. Good experience
Oh yeah, finally a pro level synth from Akai🎉 The design is sexy too!! If the keybed is higher quality than on the Advance 61 i'm most definately getting one!
When Scott takes that cigarette break, it's a movie 🎬 🎞 🎥
That beat 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn Akai & Scott done sold me on this joint. *heads over to Klarna to buy*
Beam me up Scotty!
That sounded good..!
Greetings, hope all’s is well with everyone. Uhhh👀 I’ve been on the MPC Live going on 7 years now, best investment I’ve made musically. The moment I heard about the 61 key keyboard and saw it. I immediately called guitar Center to see if they had it in stock, they didn’t have it. If you’re a MPC Head like I am, this is a game changer
they should make a bio movie on Scott🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This joint is gonna give new meaning to "Hot Cakes"
Does it have styles / rhythms like in Yamaha Genos ?
Saludos desde Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain), me estoy volviendo loco con mi nuevo MPC ONE y no encuentro la forma de poder lanzar los samples en la secuencia utilizando el modo "PAD Mute" sin tener que esperar a que termine los 16 compases mientras se están reproduciendo, el ejemplo es que en un pad tengo un loop wav de batería que dura 16 compases, si este pad lo tengo muteado desde que reproduzco la secuencia a la hora de activar este loop en medio del compas solo se reproducirá a partir del compas 1, ¿existe alguna forma para que pueda reproducir el sampler a partir del compás que quiera? muchas gracias !!
"Dr.dre, Timbaland, Justin, Christina Aguilera = this keyboard allows you to find the perfect melody " bahaha Andy Mac wrote his whole script.
Regardless I love Scotty and this keyboard looks amazing
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Kinda got that feeling as well Lol..
Dude is a genius
This new Akai MPC Key 61 is really amazing, great, there are no limitations in the creation, recording, editing, production,... you don't need anything else, neither computers, nor external instruments, just this wonderful keyboard!
The Apple of the production world marrying hardware and software. Got mine today.
Thank you!
This keyboard is 🔥
I wish there was a way to map the envelopes of the adsr and cutoff/resonance/envelope of key group instruments to the Q-links- also wish they added key tracking for keygroups! Having each track with its own “sequence length” would’ve also been really great- for polyrhythms . But that might be a big re-design.
If there would be a way to load Decent Sampler libraries or vst3 files, I’d buy it. But, I do admire AKAI taking a step ahead of competition with a sequencer and pretty much a self-contained music making environment.
Does anyone know offhand if you can load your own samples (like .wav) and map them to individual keys on the board and be played live, and then not lose those samples or have to reload them upon next powerup? I'm just getting through the ads and email notifications about this new synth, but just wanted to see if anyone knew my ask. I'm a bass player that uses Studiologic MID pedals to trigger certain samples, but with a Korg Triton Le76 I had, you had to keep reloading the samples I wanted to use etc. I currently have a Juno DS76 and it handles playing samples better than the Korg did, but not really looking to spend 4-5k on aboard. Hope I'm making sense lol.
Yes, this can be achieved with the Keygroups function.
Too many questions for $2000.
@AkaiProVideo So, the onboard software isn't MPC Beats? Meaning I'd have to stem everything out when I want to bring it into my DAW for iZotope tools or have it sent out for mixing/mastering?
Projects can be shared back and forth from the MPC Key 61 to the MPC2 desktop software DAW where you're be able to use your qualified 3rd party AU/VST plugins.
Damn this is a whole stu all in one. I still like Korg to mpc cause I like Korg sounds
see I need you to put that pad performance mode into the keys please 🥺 🙏 hopefully in a update I will definitely buy it then
Hey, can someone answer a question for me? When you're using these MPCs in software control mode can you still sample into the MPC and get audio out of the MPC, even if you're using more than 8 software synths or audio tracks? Or will I need another audio interface?
You can use the MPC Keys inbuilt audio interface. All the units except the MPC Studio 2 have a built in audio interface.
my inspiration
2:28 me and the boys cookn up in stu geeked hahaha yes
i need that track that is playing in the background🔥🔥🔥🔥
Had mine 3 months and love it, ❤ never off it, unfortunately pitch wheel spring has already failed, hope that's not an indication of build quality, never had one go before.
I want one
Is there a link to that track?
i need help regarding the 6 new instruments,are they free,cause i can't activate them on MPC 2
This was made in the mid 90's. Kurzweil K2500S. I still have mine.
Computers/ USB got in the way for awhile. Now we truly have both. By separating them but still have the connectivity, = power
I was just thinking that..! I guess this is for the new gen studio (interestingly though, ya gotta ask what it takes to design the sound banks 🤔)
great looking and it sounds superb but the thing which will make or break it is the keybed..if its just one of there bog standard keybeds then itll be hard to justify the high price there asking..
ive got a the advance61 and that was ok to start with but after awhile it became a squeaky/clacky keybed so i bought a komplete kontrol mk2 instead which has a much better keybed.
i traded in my fantom 8 for this today and the keys are semi-weighted. they feel like my prophet 10 keybed if that helps.
Get It Scott !!!
oooo and please make hybrid and xpand accessible for the key 61. Hybrid already comes free in the software. Wouldve been nice to have it on the keys
I just want to know if it is compatible as a controller with Ableton and other DAWs.
Yes you can load the companion MPC DAW as a plugin and then from there have access to all of Key 61s functions inside any DAW.
My next part of my studio
