This is a nice introduction to the software and the same things apply to the most MPC's in stand alone mode really. Works well on it's own or integrated with whatever DAW yoou use.

too much rambling....ehh...ehhh...ammm...amm
I watched the video a few times....wish he will just get to the point

[@coopertime147]

Thank you so much! As a beginner, this was very helpful.

[@DavidThomCreations]

i'm glad you found this useful and remember to check out the Beats Academy videos on Akai's channel.

Its very good video explaining how to trigger the sequences. I am facing a problem, in the song menu, I am getting an 'END' message and there are nothing displayed in the sequences table. Kindly advise me what would be the problem.

[@DavidThomCreations]

Hi there, I had a look at screenshot you sent and you haven't switched the PADS section on. This is between Sequence list and Song Parameters. Once you do this your sequences should be in the bottom row of pads, you can just drag the sequences in from the pads. Follow my video from about 21 mins onward. Hope this helps.

@@DavidThomCreations Thank you..i will try

[@donteroberts5467]

So how did u copy for your next sequence because that's what im stuck on

[@DavidThomCreations]

Hi there, in the top left under where it says MIDI there is the Sequencer menu. If you right-click header there is a lot of options, just choose Copy to create another sequence. Cheers

I wanted to ask you how do I set up my MPD218 through Ableton (no because it's expensive), MPD Beats, etc.? Everyone takes this process for granted but for someone starting out it's not that easy. How do I proceed? Thank you very much. Hi.

[@DavidThomCreations]

Hi there, I'm afraid I only use Logic Pro X but should work with Abelton fine. I'm assuming you've looked on CZcams for videos but check out the Akai channel if not.

[@pierpa_76pierpaolo]

@@DavidThomCreations It's ok I didn't think of it to just write "Akai". I watched a number of videos but nothing I needed unfortunately.

[@donteroberts5467]

I Have that Down packed but how can i use like sequence 3 to be after sequence 4 or do i have to make another sequence to be the same as sequence 3

[@DavidThomCreations]

You can just copy a sequence then edit the tracks within it. That's how I did it anyway. I'm sure it's all explained in video.

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

Tip, Smaking after every sentence isnt good for people that has good ears its kinda annoying

[@DavidThomCreations]

Yeah I was obviously struggling that day🥴

[@MrHarzz1]

on my mpc beats there are no tracks, saples or sequences. what is wrong with it

[@DavidThomCreations]

When you start up there is a choice of empty track, genres or demos so pick a demo and see if that works. It could also be it just didn't install properly.
