@@oO5Dynasty Yeah, it was a joke on the fact that AKAI is essentially trying to recreate Ableton Push, when they really should focus on developing the MPC Live / X.
Thanks for the feedback. We're always developing features and releasing updates to improve the experience for everyone. Be sure to sign up to hear about new announcements as soon as they are available.
I for one I'm really happy about this. Just got my first MPC (X) I'm over the moon with it in standalone mode and now being able to control Ableton is a cherry on top of the cake as I will be able to use it in both situations. With the number of Ableton users out there I think this will be popular for many.
Does it allow you to finger drum within ableton and control any drum kits you might build within ableton using ableton's instruments and vsts loaded within ableton?
The one thing I am confused about is what is the direction of the MPC. I for one thought the MPC Live would give me a totally different approach to creating music, from apps on a computer. I currently do not own Fl Studio, Ableton etc because I spent a ton of money to get that organic classic way of creating with the purchase of my stand alone MPC Live. So when I see updates that’s not really advancing the MPC in a MPC work flow it upsets me. I thought this was an MPC and not another PC computer. This is the problem with dealing with company’s that get big and start doing deals with other companies they forget what made them special and forget about the people on their forums. Sad and sucks and I am not happy. Can we please get more stand alone features that are new, fun, creative, mind blowing, outside of the box, organic MPC style of creating music. Not cross promoting old third party company’s, us MPC users are trying to get away from. For god sakes listen to the people who spent the $1200.00 plus bucks on your company.
I feel you bro....but to make a standalone machine with enough power akai would essentially be selling you a pc as well, that's what they're not trying to do besides, the cost would be ridiculous It seems that akai expects serious producers to have access to a PC for power.....with the dollar losing value standalone is becoming ancient from a business standpoint
Zo P I just charge my MPC as I use it, so the power is not the issue. I just plug it into the wall. But as for as the software, if they added this ableton software they can add something that is better for the MPC Live and X workflow. Forcing us back on to the computer with this type of addition is not what we saw coming to be honest. I have an ultra powerful Gaming Pc, I can use if I did want to create music on the computer. But like many other people in this community we wanted to move away from this type of work flow. Reason we took our hard earned money to get the MPC Live and X. I just expected more from this company when I honestly shouldn’t of had.
nah, they added lots of features since release for standalone and they will go on doing that... there is a nice saying: who believes there is just one reality makes the biggest mistake in thinking :-))).... i personally dont need "low processing power MPC plug ins", that dont hold up with the rest of my gear... so i like this approach they give me (cause i dont want to add another controller for my ableton on the table.. and i am usually never pissed about free updates, maybe i just dont care...and, well yes, i also would love to see disc streaming....just (my)one other opinion of thousands...
hornet songkey my friend, i gave up long time a go, actually am stuck in the 2.2 as studio user or if you can afford it get serato sample to find you samples key drum etc www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-songkey-mk3/
Everything no one asked for and nothing actual real users have been asking for going on years now! MIDI doesn't work. Streaming audio from disk doesnt work and the 2GB ram is a boldfaced lie. I also have a Force, for which this was more expected but is also upsetting. But I'm sure your investors will be happy when you're next product tanks because you burned all your biggest advocates.
streaming would be nice... but midi doesnt work? i use it permanently for sketching ideas with my pro08... whats keeping it more stable is disabling program changes... (this is midi related wonkyness i had with a lot of gear)...
@sneakydisco ah, ok... no, i dont have that issues (i use it with DSI pro08, octatrack and analod rytm)... however i noticed, for me it works better, when MPC is master clock... normally i have this issues with midi in some way with all machines i own :-)... it could be this: your synth sends a programm change or cc, when you transpose. the CC or PRG change goes into MPC in and via out/through into the TR-8... this PRG change may cause an issue with the timing... try to disable any cc/prg change in the TR-8 and just enable clock... this may solve the problem :-)
I agree, multi-timbral and general midi, because the protocol for transferring midi songs to other users in the midi game was general midi that way users would get a general idea of the song they received from another producer then you can assign your favorite sound to the whatever midi track.. when ever I try to use the mpc as a master to trigger general midi on my modules or keyboards the sounds on the tracks are all scrambled up because there is no general midi and general midi would not work without multi-timbral capability...
There are so many things to improve in your current system (MPC Live). You know it. Read through your communitys feedback. And then you integrate Ableton Control as a new Feature … it would be even better if you just made a huge update on your very bad Ableton export, or let us just rearange tracks, or wait … just give us an way better sample browser where i don't have to spend days to scroll … the list is long. Please add good user interface designers to your team and improve your basics. Show your community that your'e listening. Sorry for this bad review, but thats really disappointing, since I was waiting for you update. The MPC Live once was one of the most promising products for me. But the update-experience is one of the worst within my entire hardware.
mm ok! This is alright probably wont be used a whole lot. Some things to think about doing instead of stuff like this.. Making the 3000 emulations sound more like a 3000 Saving the templates with our quantize settings and swing Making the MPC Live more tactile much less bugs Making the swing etc as tight as possible Making the audio effects platform open source so that we can have those who want to make better effect plugins can do so
I adore my MPC, but building whole songs in standalone with various automations going on different tracks in different sequences is a nightmare. Bugs galore. I LOVE the Ableton integration, but damn, fix standalone first eh
Come on guys, why put this nonsense in an MPC? For the Force, yes, I could see it being useful there with it having a similar workflow. But for the MPC X and Live, there’s a lot more you could have added to make these machines better. Updates are always appreciated 🙏, but when it’s a feature like this that doesn’t make any sense to the core users of these devices, it’s kind of an insult. And seriously, adding a feature that encourages people to use another system for their music instead their MPC would be like CZcams adding a Vimeo uploader and encouraging people to upload and watch their videos there. Your goal should be adding features that will inspire people to make more music, and better music on their MPC. Not adding adding touch screen controls for using an already well supported DAW on a computer. I just hope this Ableton feature can be totally disabled so it’s not wasting system resources. I’ll be sticking with 2.6 myself.
This really is showing that you guys aren't listening to your users. Add audio files to the track mute menu. why cant i use pads still to mute my audio tracks?
I really don’t get it. Wasn’t the term stand-alone once the biggest feature or selling point? Why investing so much time into making it a daw controller when there are a lot of features to be developed to make it a better stand-alone unit?
C'mon now, this update is a BIG letdown for us who want to see improvements to the MPC Live. What's all the abelton controller stuff about?? Anything else with this update?
Idk what all the hate is, this is great. I've been waiting for some additional cross software compatibility with Ableton. Thought that was the main benefit of the newest mpc series with the updated (read modern) internal DAW. Classic mpc functionality of sampling, modern connectivity to other devices. This really has centralized my workflow! Keep the integrations coming!
I suggest following the instructions for advice on using the MPC Live as a standalone instrument, you will find it is quite capable in this regard. If the integration with Ableton Live doesn't appeal to you, then you may wish to consider the hundreds of thousands of people to whom this does appeal, and bear in mind that the world doesn't revolve around one single person.
Sometimes i really hate you akai for not listening to your customers. Its an MPC. Make it do what the old MPC's can do, PLUS! What The New Ones Can! What a shame....
You should develop and redesign this format for MPC clip launch, Not my first option to use my MPC live with Ableton but would be nice to create “clip sets in Ableton then send them over to my MPC to use in standalone.
+ 100000! This should be our standard clip mode!!!! @Akai Professional: We NEED THIS to be integrated as standard clip program and replace the current one 🥺🥺🥺
Boring technomusic, boring clips, boring controllerstuff, what about all the important ideas from the community? I bought a standalone hardware with some good functions, why this ableton controller functions? Wasn't there a MPC Software? Audio streaming, Midi over USB (interface), hype synth and many more ideas look in your own forum! What they did? Third party marketing...
Dj Highfly Britcore & more I don’t care about no ableton live. Can we get more features for just the MPC Stand Alone mode such as a graphic parametric EQ like Pro-Q from Fabfilters. Would love to have more effects added such as better reverbs etc. I could also throw in a bunch of other things that would be more useful than some ableton. I got away from my PC to not touch those types of programs anymore.
I brought my mpc live for stand alone and to get away from a computer. If I wanted to use ableton I would just stick to a pc or laptop. Very disappointed.
Hey do you mean stream music from the hard drive like the 5000 and roland mv? cause that would be the bomb because right now everything seems to load into the ram which sucks steaming from the hard drive means it depends on the size of your drive and you would be able to jam for hours with the size of the drives today.
Danke Für Nichts PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU USE THE MPC AS AN INTERFACE AND CONTROLLER??? There is ZERO information on how to set it up. All of these videos tell us how awesome the update is without any how to detail
@@BrianVincent_ here are good explanations: czcams.com/video/hY2PRqZLHos/video.html or this czcams.com/video/7EuDfD5iDcw/video.html but i don't use the mpc. cause it's to much fucking screen hopping. i bought the roland mc 707 a month ago.

@@AkaiProVideo no you clearly don't value your users feedback. Generic responses are an insult. Whoever manages your social teams needs to think twice about copy and paste responses
The wrong person is in the right place focusing on wrong things by the look of it. If roughly 40% of your users don't care for the Ableton update theres a problem. Who is over product development for the MPC X and the Live? Someone needs to get Focused or Fired. Never forget Who made you What you are.
This is... not a good update. I have kept an eye on the official forum since I purchased the Live on day one. I don't think a *single* request exists for "Abelton controller!!!!!" whereas our constant requests to FIX THE MIDI SITUATION have been pretty much ignored.
Dam shame! Taken away the classic mpc right in front of our face. Might as well have the touch. If they don’t come with a serious firmware update next. I’m going back to the 3000 or the 2000xl. Soon the Mpc x will be a 2200.00 controller for ableton.🤦🏾♂️
oO5 Dynasty ™ definitely bro! They have a force for this! Besides that the work for ableton with the mpc is hella slow compared to the push or the force. This direction is devaluing the mpc bro. They better come and come big for Mpc community. I’m not knocking ableton OR the community I think they are dope producers in that community. Just don’t forget about the dope mpc community that works just as hard and we need updates too period!
I find it funny people like you are complaining about the MPC LIVE standalone. Then say you're going back to a more inferior drum sampler? Give me a break😂😂😂
An unrequested bonus feature that will only benefit a small percentage of the users, while not addressing more important requests by the user community. Focus on the MIDI mapping and multi-timbral/omni PLEASE! It's been years and months allready....
THANKS AKAI FOR THIS, I LOVE YOU TO MAKE THIS MACHINE GREAT FOR LIVE GIGS I ONLY NEED: 1. DISK STREAMING 2. MIDI CLIPS MODE IN STANDALONE (NOT ONLY AUDIO LIKE RIGHT NOW) 3. PAD PERFORM HOLD MODE (THAT YOU CAN USE SCREEN BUT ON PADS YOU PLAY WITH PAD PERFORM MODE) ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS FOR PLAYING LIVE GIGS WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED, THANKS AGAIN!
Akai should be focusing their resources on their own software. I certainly didn't purchase my MPC Live to use it as an Ableton controller, nor do I recall it coming with an Ableton license for that matter. The market for Ableton controllers is already oversaturated, and that's before you consider PUSH. Ahem! And as if you actually bumped a proprietary MPC functionality off the pad shortcuts (pad color) in favour of Ableton Control. Why would we need a shortcut for that? Think, Akai... Think! Cheers!
No offence, but who are you to say what a company like Akai 'should' be doing? Have you considered they are capable of working on multiple things concurrently? It might be worth considering that while you don't see the value in Ableton Live integration, there are countless musicians who will benefit from this. Stop being selfish and enjoy what is perhaps the best standalone portable music making machine of all time. Less hate more music.
@@Claidheambmor No offence taken. But who I am, since you asked, is the guy who actually got that interface oversight fixed, along with a number of other critical bugs. I test gear and do product consulting for several commercial and boutique gear manufacturers, Akai included, who welcome and appreciate my objectivity and (sometimes brutal) honesty. In this forum, however, I get to be a customer, and speak my mind in whatever tone I feel is justified, to effect change in the products I rely upon to do my job, and hold companies accountable to the promises they make. We vote with our words and our wallets. To that end, my criticism (and the verbiage I so carefully chose) hardly constitute "hate". That's a serious word you've presumed to use there; one that ought to be reserved for real malevolence. Cheers!
Wow, too much negativity here. I for one am an Ableton owner and a Push owner and I love the fact that I can now control Ableton via a wi-fi connection. I appreciate that MPC is following through on their promise to the Force community (even though it took nearly one year) and even a surprise to all of the Live and X owners with this update. I own all three! I'm sure you will see some major MPC based updates shortly. Ableton needed to get this out before the end of the year. Now, I'll be pissed off if they announce a whole new lineup of products at NAMM next month and leave the X, Live, and Force in the dust as they did with the Ren and Touch. Now, that would suck!
Ya’ll that are complaining about this update.. don’t understand that this is the best thing to happen to MPC live so far. Can i have disk streaming tho??? And mixing with THAT MIXER in mpc live... how about a whole new update on the native mpc for the bugs. Damn i wish they really heard what the hell we are complaining about
Create MPC Program&Seqs>Explode Tracks>MPC Track=Clip in Ableton>Ableton Link>MPC Standalone Mode>Insert Scene>Repeat for all Seqs Re-watched this video and im hoping my idea for this workflow works. I want to jam with my clips/scenes using Standalone Mode to take advantage of MPC features like swing humanize track mute note repeat etc
If you’re not a Ableton user this looks like a complete waste of an update I didn’t buy the MPC Live to use Ableton me and many other people would like to see stand alone improvements and functions in the updates
For my MPC Live, the only things I really want at this point are: 1. Hype synth in standalone mode, 2. Disc streaming for audio, and 3. the newer Akai Force GUI/UX.
Just purchased Live and this update is a bit of a letdown. It's as if Akai is saying they don't believe in the 2.0 software that was supposedly designed to complement the stand alone aspect of it's own product. Got no problem with Ableton - but can someone say "Push 2"? Akai and Ableton are apparently trying to create a larger market for each of their brands but in the process run the real risk of alienating their core customers. And If the comments on this page are any indication, they're succeeding - at poor marketing and Akai will take a larger hit than Ableton as most of their core customers already have the Push 2 and new Ableton customers definitely aren't looking to use Akai's "standalone" controllers to run it's software. Go figure 🙄.
First of all, thanks for a very detailed and through walkthrough of Ableton Live Control integration. Ableton is a popular DAW that is preferred by many producers/remixers. However, why would you drain so much of your development efforts into another DAW when you could have spent that time improving MPC Live and MPC software? Although it is pretty neat MPC Live can be used to control Ableton with this feature update, Neither MPC Live nor MPC X is the best control surface for complex beast like Ableton. There are better control surfaces for Ableton like the Ableton Push 2 or the Akai Force. A DAW like Ableton is best controlled with a surface that has more buttons and knobs. Using the touch screen is slow and counter intuitive.
Sooo... How do you set this up in Ableton? Just downloaded the version 10 trial to check it out. Computer and MPC are hooked up to the same wifi network.
nice add on feature and good to see you keep adding features, akai. and you see how much people appreciate the MPC workflow... even so much, that some start a shitstorm on a free feature, that opens possible workflows to other environments :-)))))... first world problems :-)))
So what about the Akai Force? it is pointless not mentioning that it is in both MPC and Force This feature was meant to be implemented in the Akai Force is it available on Akai Force?
I have the exact same question ... Or play notes with Pad Perform. That may benefit my current workflow, but I've become cautious about making assumptions. I bought the MPC Live a few years ago and later had to sell it again due to all sorts of features that were and still are missing as mentioned extensively in the comments.
Is it possible to switch between Stanalon and Ableton Control modes, and changing the parameters in Ableton live, without stopping playback? For example: Start playing a scene in Ableton live (by Ableton Control mode), then switch to Stanalone mode, make a sketch in MPC, then switch back to Ableton Control mode and start another scene in Ableton live (by Ableton Control mode), or change any VST parameter, without stopping playback of the entire system?
@AkaiProVideo from the comments I am 100% sure the customers of MPC LIVE and X don't want this feature as they mostly bought it to get away from the computer and are Pros in the MPC environment. But the MPC ONE users want this since these are the users who are new to the MPC and are transitioning . I think you guys are better off giving this feature on the MPC ONE.
Congratulations on a slick implementation, it looks great for users wishing to incorporate ableton in their productions and live sets. Hopefully the team can now focus on implementing the many useful features requested by the mpc community and make the x/live a truly great standalone machine. Go Akai! More updates soon please!
we get down to the mpc live because we like the way how mpc work. let the dessert be the dessert and ableton do whatever the do. plrase focus on your main dish: the improvement of the live/x which both have the guts to be the greatest drum machines to this day. i was thinking to go for the x additionally but i think i'm fine
Ditto below. There are other things more important that this - like making the looper more flexible like having an option to automatically add last recorded loop to new track - that would be an amazing addition.
i have a push 2...you know...for ableton..... add more things to the MPC live...you know..what people bought...if your goal is to completely revert to using ableton as the software for MPC live and MPC X, just say so...this slowly converting to ableton is kind of trash especially when mpc users are expecting mpc based updates.
Hi! I can't connect my mpc-live wirelessly. Because i have no 'Akai Force MPC' in a 'Control Surface' dropdown menu in ableton. What i can to do with that?
As a long time Ableton user with tons of legacy projects, this feature is worthwhile for me. Ableton are a software company, so they'll never build my dream touchscreen controller, instead providing an API to their software for hardware developers to implement (which presumably is quite cheap and easy to do since most controller producers have implemented it). After trying a Macbook Air, Push, Maschine, iPad running Touchable, Gadget, BM3, etc etc I know that my dream solution has to be a reliable standalone hybrid. Something I can use LIVE, i.e. in my version of real life, away from a power supply, mouse, keyboard, audio interface and a 24" monitor. Laptops and iPads are power hungry multitaskers and a pain to use in the field. iOS file management is unstable. Portable samplers have cheap fiddly interfaces and require a laptop to download and edit. For me it would be so much better to have a hybrid device in my bag for recording on location, editing takes, jamming my ideas, but then have the flexibility to upload to a more mature DAW and jam using the same device. Or to perform LIVE, using said DAW to give me extra flexibility e.g bypass limitations of the internal software, i.e. max track count and MB of samples in RAM. But that's just me. Everyone has different needs and dreams, there is not a one size fits all when it comes to music technology. The other thing to remember is that companies like Akai don't have infinite budgets. So they have to make their products appeal to as wide a range of musicians as possible, hence all the competing product iterations and variations. Good software engineers are expensive and the sale of one MPC only pays for a limited amount of software development, feature updates, patches etc. Then you've got legacy development butting heads with evolution, where much esteemed feature X may have been the baby of some developer long since departed, or tied to a particular OS/version (JJOS etc). Just because a feature was once there doesn't mean it's trivial to have it in the latest version. Don't get me wrong, it's not all about me, but by allowing your production platform to become mine too, Akai gets more money for hardware and software development, so we both win.
The writing is on the wall. Akai sees it. So why they don’t correct their course here is a textbook example of rapacious corporate bloatware goals. Not one positive comment here, or at least in the first 40 or so that I read. Frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t disable comments.
Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty cool? I'm pretty new to music production but started off investing in ableton standard and now after some time, have become very interested in the MPC sampling and performance workflow. I have an old push 1, and see this as a perfect upgrade! Should I not purchase this? why does everyone seem so angry in the comments?
So as an MPC Studio Black user the latest update to the desktop app apparently offers.....nothing at all for anyone not using a Live or X? I see no reason to update my desktop software at all.
It would help a lot if you'd take the time to explain how to see this data (LIVE CONTROL) through what you have setup in Ableton. I am not sure what i need to change in Ableton to allow them to communicate together to see my set from Ableton. I am connected wirelessly too..
I think Akai has given us very nice updates for the MPC so far, everyone seems a bit spoiled. See how much power there is in these machines and enjoy all the unlimited possibilities. Nevertheless, I would like to be able to use a spectrum analyzer in the MPC in the future 😉
I asked the question a few minutes ago will this be available to all other DAWs .Looking at other comments just now, well I have to agree with some of them, you buy a MPC for the purpose of not or being free of using a DAW all together. I like the new update but also improve on that MPC or Force .Thanks
Looking forward to trying this out in 2020 AKAI!!! Keep the great updates coming, I'd love to have Hype synth, 10 new effects/ 2 plugins plus the ability to turn the brightness down 10-50% more for on my MPC Live on those dawless dark standalone sessions! Shame this won't work with Ableton9, but most of us appreciate these updates you guys are like Fujifilm - refreshing a device I brought what 15months ago :)
Would have been useful if you added the features as true standalone without the need for ableton however as it stands this is no use to me whatsoever. I had an Ableton Push 2 and sold it to buy the MPC live and now you're wasting time and effort turning this into a Push.
when you making these kinds of movies maybe Akai is going bankrupt and Ableton is getting ready to buy Akai out this why they are monopolizing Ableton Live and not their own DAW.. I Hope the CEO is reading these comments because he or she makes the final decision and report back to the shareholders...
Unlike a lot of the comments I think this is the greatest thing ever. Wireless syncing with ableton but keeping standalone features? V2.8 incredible number of midi synced devices over USB, with rock solid timing? Ableton is now the slave to the MPC, not the other way around. However, the sample browser in the MPC IS an absolute shit show, and needs to be rectified ASAP
I actually like this new form of integration it seems very useful and well thought out if you're already an Ableton user and want tighter integration with the DAW. Does this MPC 2.7 Software Update Feature also work with the MPC TOUCH ?

Get your time stretching like Serato Sample! Now that would be a vital update!!
they just updated it

take a note from behringer and listen to to your consumer

This is so stupid i dont want a ableton controller i want a mpc.
What is about add a keyfinder??
Would make more sense!!
(Sry for my englisch)

hornet songkey my friend, i gave up long time a go, actually am stuck in the 2.2 as studio user or if you can afford it get serato sample to find you samples key drum etc
www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-songkey-mk3/
good comment though. keyfinder would be welcome.
Everything no one asked for and nothing actual real users have been asking for going on years now! MIDI doesn't work. Streaming audio from disk doesnt work and the 2GB ram is a boldfaced lie.
I also have a Force, for which this was more expected but is also upsetting.
But I'm sure your investors will be happy when you're next product tanks because you burned all your biggest advocates.
Tony Scharf thank u
No way to rearrange tracks, and no portamento/glide on keygroups either 🤦♂️ Basic functions completely ignored for YEARS
streaming would be nice... but midi doesnt work? i use it permanently for sketching ideas with my pro08... whats keeping it more stable is disabling program changes... (this is midi related wonkyness i had with a lot of gear)...
@sneakydisco ah, ok... no, i dont have that issues (i use it with DSI pro08, octatrack and analod rytm)... however i noticed, for me it works better, when MPC is master clock... normally i have this issues with midi in some way with all machines i own :-)... it could be this: your synth sends a programm change or cc, when you transpose. the CC or PRG change goes into MPC in and via out/through into the TR-8... this PRG change may cause an issue with the timing... try to disable any cc/prg change in the TR-8 and just enable clock... this may solve the problem :-)
Pls make this type of mixer available in MPC Live, not in Ableton Live. 8 tracks and Main.
like every other mpc that ever came out
I hate to sound ungrateful, but come on... Where is the Multi-timbral midi? Disc streaming? Portamento?
I agree, multi-timbral and general midi, because the protocol for transferring midi songs to other users in the midi game was general midi that way users would get a general idea of the song they received from another producer then you can assign your favorite sound to the whatever midi track.. when ever I try to use the mpc as a master to trigger general midi on my modules or keyboards the sounds on the tracks are all scrambled up because there is no general midi and general midi would not work without multi-timbral capability...
Track rearrange window!
REAL TALK. Portamento NEEDED
good things come to those who wait
ABLETONAI Unprofessional is trying to make us use ableton. f.ck ableton! i bought an mpc, not an ableton controller.
There are so many things to improve in your current system (MPC Live). You know it. Read through your communitys feedback. And then you integrate Ableton Control as a new Feature … it would be even better if you just made a huge update on your very bad Ableton export, or let us just rearange tracks, or wait … just give us an way better sample browser where i don't have to spend days to scroll … the list is long. Please add good user interface designers to your team and improve your basics. Show your community that your'e listening. Sorry for this bad review, but thats really disappointing, since I was waiting for you update. The MPC Live once was one of the most promising products for me. But the update-experience is one of the worst within my entire hardware.
for the browser in standalone just scroll with two fingers..rtfm^^
100 % true
@@wslbeats See, you're the problem bro. Akai's UI team is full of a bunch of you. lol
Just give us aranger tracks and linear editing for gawd sakes
mm ok! This is alright probably wont be used a whole lot. Some things to think about doing instead of stuff like this..
Making the 3000 emulations sound more like a 3000
Saving the templates with our quantize settings and swing
Making the MPC Live more tactile much less bugs
Making the swing etc as tight as possible
Making the audio effects platform open source so that we can have those who want to make better effect plugins can do so
yes
I adore my MPC, but building whole songs in standalone with various automations going on different tracks in different sequences is a nightmare. Bugs galore. I LOVE the Ableton integration, but damn, fix standalone first eh
What the hell has ableton live have to do with akai?
philip formby thaaaaaaank u
Akai makes all of abelton hardweare
Come on guys, why put this nonsense in an MPC? For the Force, yes, I could see it being useful there with it having a similar workflow. But for the MPC X and Live, there’s a lot more you could have added to make these machines better.
Updates are always appreciated 🙏, but when it’s a feature like this that doesn’t make any sense to the core users of these devices, it’s kind of an insult. And seriously, adding a feature that encourages people to use another system for their music instead their MPC would be like CZcams adding a Vimeo uploader and encouraging people to upload and watch their videos there.
Your goal should be adding features that will inspire people to make more music, and better music on their MPC. Not adding adding touch screen controls for using an already well supported DAW on a computer.
I just hope this Ableton feature can be totally disabled so it’s not wasting system resources. I’ll be sticking with 2.6 myself.
Totally agree
Exactly!
I got 2.5 I need to upgrade bro
Is it worth it
I agree
This really is showing that you guys aren't listening to your users. Add audio files to the track mute menu. why cant i use pads still to mute my audio tracks?
Great request!
I really don’t get it. Wasn’t the term stand-alone once the biggest feature or selling point? Why investing so much time into making it a daw controller when there are a lot of features to be developed to make it a better stand-alone unit?
Tales of a structured Mind totally agree, we spent 1200.00 plus for an daw controller. Most expensive controller in the world.
So stupid, I can't even start to begin to understand the stupidity of this decision...
C'mon now, this update is a BIG letdown for us who want to see improvements to the MPC Live. What's all the abelton controller stuff about?? Anything else with this update?
shut up its great
@@phcore2550 Shut up? Kid, go sit down somewhere. This is a adult conversation.
@@lawrencechatman2920 XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Idk what all the hate is, this is great. I've been waiting for some additional cross software compatibility with Ableton. Thought that was the main benefit of the newest mpc series with the updated (read modern) internal DAW. Classic mpc functionality of sampling, modern connectivity to other devices. This really has centralized my workflow! Keep the integrations coming!
Well, I guess that's why Akai named the standalone MPC "Live". Should have saw this coming a mile away. #dissappointed
Hahaha
Dam you are right.
I suggest following the instructions for advice on using the MPC Live as a standalone instrument, you will find it is quite capable in this regard. If the integration with Ableton Live doesn't appeal to you, then you may wish to consider the hundreds of thousands of people to whom this does appeal, and bear in mind that the world doesn't revolve around one single person.
Sometimes i really hate you akai for not listening to your customers. Its an MPC. Make it do what the old MPC's can do, PLUS! What The New Ones Can! What a shame....
You should develop and redesign this format for MPC clip launch, Not my first option to use my MPC live with Ableton but would be nice to create “clip sets in Ableton then send them over to my MPC to use in standalone.
+ 100000! This should be our standard clip mode!!!!
@Akai Professional: We NEED THIS to be integrated as standard clip program and replace the current one 🥺🥺🥺
Boring technomusic, boring clips, boring controllerstuff, what about all the important ideas from the community?
I bought a standalone hardware with some good functions, why this ableton controller functions?
Wasn't there a MPC Software?
Audio streaming, Midi over USB (interface), hype synth and many more ideas look in your own forum!
What they did? Third party marketing...
Dj Highfly Britcore & more I don’t care about no ableton live. Can we get more features for just the MPC Stand Alone mode such as a graphic parametric EQ like Pro-Q from Fabfilters. Would love to have more effects added such as better reverbs etc. I could also throw in a bunch of other things that would be more useful than some ableton. I got away from my PC to not touch those types of programs anymore.
I brought my mpc live for stand alone and to get away from a computer. If I wanted to use ableton I would just stick to a pc or laptop. Very disappointed.
Thanks for your feedback. We value responses from everyone. Please be sure to sign up for news and announcements as soon as they are available.
Preordered the live, not the touch. Where's disk streaming and multitimbral midi?
Hey do you mean stream music from the hard drive like the 5000 and roland mv? cause that would be the bomb because right now everything seems to load into the ram which sucks steaming from the hard drive means it depends on the size of your drive and you would be able to jam for hours with the size of the drives today.
Too bad I don't use ablton, why r u forcing abelton on us, stick 2 the mpc work flow

@@AkaiProVideo no you clearly don't value your users feedback. Generic responses are an insult. Whoever manages your social teams needs to think twice about copy and paste responses
Exactly! Nothing against this update, but AFTER they do the important stuff for standalone machine we all bought it for....
The wrong person is in the right place focusing on wrong things by the look of it. If roughly 40% of your users don't care for the Ableton update theres a problem. Who is over product development for the MPC X and the Live? Someone needs to get Focused or Fired. Never forget Who made you What you are.
This is... not a good update. I have kept an eye on the official forum since I purchased the Live on day one. I don't think a *single* request exists for "Abelton controller!!!!!" whereas our constant requests to FIX THE MIDI SITUATION have been pretty much ignored.
I’m excited for the future of mpc live 2
It seems like akai and Ableton are about to merge? Why so much love for Ableton? I was expecting some goodies and improvements for mpc users...
Dam shame! Taken away the classic mpc right in front of our face. Might as well have the touch. If they don’t come with a serious firmware update next. I’m going back to the 3000 or the 2000xl. Soon the Mpc x will be a 2200.00 controller for ableton.🤦🏾♂️
bigbeardt98 agreed I’m pist off
oO5 Dynasty ™ definitely bro! They have a force for this! Besides that the work for ableton with the mpc is hella slow compared to the push or the force. This direction is devaluing the mpc bro. They better come and come big for Mpc community. I’m not knocking ableton OR the community I think they are dope producers in that community. Just don’t forget about the dope mpc community that works just as hard and we need updates too period!
bigbeardt98 agreed!
I find it funny people like you are complaining about the MPC LIVE standalone. Then say you're going back to a more inferior drum sampler? Give me a break😂😂😂
Ave Mcree if you don’t like the opinion mind yours!
An unrequested bonus feature that will only benefit a small percentage of the users, while not addressing more important requests by the user community. Focus on the MIDI mapping and multi-timbral/omni PLEASE! It's been years and months allready....
In some ways this is even better than a push!
Reminds me of when I bought my wife a lawnmower for Christmas
Josh ANDRSN 😂😂😂😂😂
I've had several mpc's in the past couple of years I had no Idea this was a thing and I love ableton this is fucking awesome
i got you! get paid by mpc hardware users in the first place and then have them ableton checks comin!? akai is gonna loose their core clientel
Sooooo... You don't like choice?
Akai's core clientele are musicians and producers, not conspiracy theorists trolling on CZcams.
Bloat ware. Nice, but wholly unnecessary. How about a phase inverter? Focus on the standalone.
This is the dumbest update i might have ever seen. We got this to use the Mpc. Not ableton!
THANKS AKAI FOR THIS, I LOVE YOU
TO MAKE THIS MACHINE GREAT FOR LIVE GIGS I ONLY NEED:
1. DISK STREAMING
2. MIDI CLIPS MODE IN STANDALONE (NOT ONLY AUDIO LIKE RIGHT NOW)
3. PAD PERFORM HOLD MODE (THAT YOU CAN USE SCREEN BUT ON PADS YOU PLAY WITH PAD PERFORM MODE)
ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS FOR PLAYING LIVE GIGS WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED, THANKS AGAIN!
Akai should be focusing their resources on their own software. I certainly didn't purchase my MPC Live to use it as an Ableton controller, nor do I recall it coming with an Ableton license for that matter. The market for Ableton controllers is already oversaturated, and that's before you consider PUSH. Ahem! And as if you actually bumped a proprietary MPC functionality off the pad shortcuts (pad color) in favour of Ableton Control. Why would we need a shortcut for that? Think, Akai... Think! Cheers!
No offence, but who are you to say what a company like Akai 'should' be doing? Have you considered they are capable of working on multiple things concurrently? It might be worth considering that while you don't see the value in Ableton Live integration, there are countless musicians who will benefit from this. Stop being selfish and enjoy what is perhaps the best standalone portable music making machine of all time. Less hate more music.
@@Claidheambmor No offence taken. But who I am, since you asked, is the guy who actually got that interface oversight fixed, along with a number of other critical bugs. I test gear and do product consulting for several commercial and boutique gear manufacturers, Akai included, who welcome and appreciate my objectivity and (sometimes brutal) honesty. In this forum, however, I get to be a customer, and speak my mind in whatever tone I feel is justified, to effect change in the products I rely upon to do my job, and hold companies accountable to the promises they make. We vote with our words and our wallets. To that end, my criticism (and the verbiage I so carefully chose) hardly constitute "hate". That's a serious word you've presumed to use there; one that ought to be reserved for real malevolence. Cheers!
Can you use the pads to play instruments and drum rack instead of launching clips?
a year later and I'm still wondering
Wow, too much negativity here. I for one am an Ableton owner and a Push owner and I love the fact that I can now control Ableton via a wi-fi connection. I appreciate that MPC is following through on their promise to the Force community (even though it took nearly one year) and even a surprise to all of the Live and X owners with this update. I own all three! I'm sure you will see some major MPC based updates shortly. Ableton needed to get this out before the end of the year. Now, I'll be pissed off if they announce a whole new lineup of products at NAMM next month and leave the X, Live, and Force in the dust as they did with the Ren and Touch. Now, that would suck!
Hah Akai is getting Grilled on the burning fire here... wow
Standalone! Stop making this a expensive controller. Wtf
house machine agreed
please Akai make this feature available for MPC One too!!!
Ya’ll that are complaining about this update.. don’t understand that this is the best thing to happen to MPC live so far.
Can i have disk streaming tho??? And mixing with THAT MIXER in mpc live... how about a whole new update on the native mpc for the bugs.
Damn i wish they really heard what the hell we are complaining about
Create MPC Program&Seqs>Explode Tracks>MPC Track=Clip in Ableton>Ableton Link>MPC Standalone Mode>Insert Scene>Repeat for all Seqs
Re-watched this video and im hoping my idea for this workflow works. I want to jam with my clips/scenes using Standalone Mode to take advantage of MPC features like swing humanize track mute note repeat etc
As a Ableton Live and a MPC Live user I would like to say thank you for this update!!!!
For some reason I'm not able to use every live control function on my MPC X. Does anyone have an idea on why this is happening?
New Ronland fantom G Work Station here I come, I don't think I will be buying another Akai product in a long time to come
If you’re not a Ableton user this looks like a complete waste of an update I didn’t buy the MPC Live to use Ableton me and many other people would like to see stand alone improvements and functions in the updates
I've just bought an MPC One and I didn't know about this Ableton Live Control Integration. I love it even more now ^_^
For my MPC Live, the only things I really want at this point are: 1. Hype synth in standalone mode, 2. Disc streaming for audio, and 3. the newer Akai Force GUI/UX.
Just purchased Live and this update is a bit of a letdown. It's as if Akai is saying they don't believe in the 2.0 software that was supposedly designed to complement the stand alone aspect of it's own product. Got no problem with Ableton - but can someone say "Push 2"? Akai and Ableton are apparently trying to create a larger market for each of their brands but in the process run the real risk of alienating their core customers. And If the comments on this page are any indication, they're succeeding - at poor marketing and Akai will take a larger hit than Ableton as most of their core customers already have the Push 2 and new Ableton customers definitely aren't looking to use Akai's "standalone" controllers to run it's software. Go figure 🙄.
First of all, thanks for a very detailed and through walkthrough of Ableton Live Control integration. Ableton is a popular DAW that is preferred by many producers/remixers. However, why would you drain so much of your development efforts into another DAW when you could have spent that time improving MPC Live and MPC software? Although it is pretty neat MPC Live can be used to control Ableton with this feature update, Neither MPC Live nor MPC X is the best control surface for complex beast like Ableton. There are better control surfaces for Ableton like the Ableton Push 2 or the Akai Force. A DAW like Ableton is best controlled with a surface that has more buttons and knobs. Using the touch screen is slow and counter intuitive.
"unparalleled control over Ableton live", have you heard of Push 2? It is a good set of features and all, but backside talk not needed.
Sooo... How do you set this up in Ableton? Just downloaded the version 10 trial to check it out. Computer and MPC are hooked up to the same wifi network.
nice add on feature and good to see you keep adding features, akai. and you see how much people appreciate the MPC workflow... even so much, that some start a shitstorm on a free feature, that opens possible workflows to other environments :-)))))... first world problems :-)))
So can you control drum racks on Ableton with this feature?
So what about the Akai Force? it is pointless not mentioning that it is in both MPC and Force This feature was meant to be implemented in the Akai Force is it available on Akai Force?
how do you record drum midi clips using the Pads of the MPC Live? The video only shows using an additional MIDI controller...
I have the exact same question ... Or play notes with Pad Perform. That may benefit my current workflow, but I've become cautious about making assumptions. I bought the MPC Live a few years ago and later had to sell it again due to all sorts of features that were and still are missing as mentioned extensively in the comments.
Is it possible to switch between Stanalon and Ableton Control modes, and changing the parameters in Ableton live, without stopping playback?
For example: Start playing a scene in Ableton live (by Ableton Control mode), then switch to Stanalone mode, make a sketch in MPC, then switch back to Ableton Control mode and start another scene in Ableton live (by Ableton Control mode), or change any VST parameter, without stopping playback of the entire system?
@AkaiProVideo from the comments I am 100% sure the customers of MPC LIVE and X don't want this feature as they mostly bought it to get away from the computer and are Pros in the MPC environment. But the MPC ONE users want this since these are the users who are new to the MPC and are transitioning . I think you guys are better off giving this feature on the MPC ONE.
Such a big let down Akai....If we wanted we could have jus bought Ableton Push...what a whole load of nonsense this update is..worst update EVER!!!
Gemsmiff agreed smfh.
Congratulations on a slick implementation, it looks great for users wishing to incorporate ableton in their productions and live sets. Hopefully the team can now focus on implementing the many useful features requested by the mpc community and make the x/live a truly great standalone machine. Go Akai! More updates soon please!
mpc one does not do this ? live control mode is on a network ..where is that video?
we get down to the mpc live because we like the way how mpc work. let the dessert be the dessert and ableton do whatever the do. plrase focus on your main dish: the improvement of the live/x which both have the guts to be the greatest drum machines to this day. i was thinking to go for the x additionally but i think i'm fine
I bought Ableton Live Suite to get out of MPC due to ableton has a very nice and creative work flow, now they are back together again :)
Ditto below. There are other things more important that this - like making the looper more flexible like having an option to automatically add last recorded loop to new track - that would be an amazing addition.
i have a push 2...you know...for ableton..... add more things to the MPC live...you know..what people bought...if your goal is to completely revert to using ableton as the software for MPC live and MPC X, just say so...this slowly converting to ableton is kind of trash especially when mpc users are expecting mpc based updates.
Hi! I can't connect my mpc-live wirelessly. Because i have no 'Akai Force MPC' in a 'Control Surface' dropdown menu in ableton. What i can to do with that?
Get this on the MPC One!
As a long time Ableton user with tons of legacy projects, this feature is worthwhile for me. Ableton are a software company, so they'll never build my dream touchscreen controller, instead providing an API to their software for hardware developers to implement (which presumably is quite cheap and easy to do since most controller producers have implemented it). After trying a Macbook Air, Push, Maschine, iPad running Touchable, Gadget, BM3, etc etc I know that my dream solution has to be a reliable standalone hybrid. Something I can use LIVE, i.e. in my version of real life, away from a power supply, mouse, keyboard, audio interface and a 24" monitor. Laptops and iPads are power hungry multitaskers and a pain to use in the field. iOS file management is unstable. Portable samplers have cheap fiddly interfaces and require a laptop to download and edit. For me it would be so much better to have a hybrid device in my bag for recording on location, editing takes, jamming my ideas, but then have the flexibility to upload to a more mature DAW and jam using the same device. Or to perform LIVE, using said DAW to give me extra flexibility e.g bypass limitations of the internal software, i.e. max track count and MB of samples in RAM. But that's just me. Everyone has different needs and dreams, there is not a one size fits all when it comes to music technology.
The other thing to remember is that companies like Akai don't have infinite budgets. So they have to make their products appeal to as wide a range of musicians as possible, hence all the competing product iterations and variations. Good software engineers are expensive and the sale of one MPC only pays for a limited amount of software development, feature updates, patches etc. Then you've got legacy development butting heads with evolution, where much esteemed feature X may have been the baby of some developer long since departed, or tied to a particular OS/version (JJOS etc). Just because a feature was once there doesn't mean it's trivial to have it in the latest version.
Don't get me wrong, it's not all about me, but by allowing your production platform to become mine too, Akai gets more money for hardware and software development, so we both win.
Akai resigned before Ableton, intead of improving its Software. Good Job!
Finally! 1000$ ipad with touchable app
1300 here...
Awesome! Super excited to update!
YAY! An Ableton control... What's Ableton? Definitely hope a sample search feature comes with this!
The writing is on the wall. Akai sees it. So why they don’t correct their course here is a textbook example of rapacious corporate bloatware goals. Not one positive comment here, or at least in the first 40 or so that I read. Frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t disable comments.
Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty cool? I'm pretty new to music production but started off investing in ableton standard and now after some time, have become very interested in the MPC sampling and performance workflow. I have an old push 1, and see this as a perfect upgrade! Should I not purchase this? why does everyone seem so angry in the comments?
18:32 The great European musician illness. "Now we hit quantize"
🤣🤣🤣
lmaaooo
Has the new MPC One the Ableton live Integration , cause MPC Live is no longer avaiable ?
So as an MPC Studio Black user the latest update to the desktop app apparently offers.....nothing at all for anyone not using a Live or X? I see no reason to update my desktop software at all.
It would help a lot if you'd take the time to explain how to see this data (LIVE CONTROL) through what you have setup in Ableton. I am not sure what i need to change in Ableton to allow them to communicate together to see my set from Ableton. I am connected wirelessly too..
I think Akai has given us very nice updates for the MPC so far, everyone seems a bit spoiled. See how much power there is in these machines and enjoy all the unlimited possibilities. Nevertheless, I would like to be able to use a spectrum analyzer in the MPC in the future 😉
I asked the question a few minutes ago will this be available to all other DAWs .Looking at other comments just now, well I have to agree with some of them, you buy a MPC for the purpose of not or being free of using a DAW all together. I like the new update but also improve on that MPC or Force .Thanks
GIVE US PLUG INS!!..dont try to force Ableton down our throats
Satch Flight fabfilters would be amazing
Omg yessssss
Looking forward to trying this out in 2020 AKAI!!! Keep the great updates coming, I'd love to have Hype synth, 10 new effects/ 2 plugins plus the ability to turn the brightness down 10-50% more for on my MPC Live on those dawless dark standalone sessions! Shame this won't work with Ableton9, but most of us appreciate these updates you guys are like Fujifilm - refreshing a device I brought what 15months ago :)
is the Mpc one also compatible with ableton live or not
Perfect for DAWLESSLESS jammin'...nah!
Can we get a UI update? 🤷🏾♂️
Would have been useful if you added the features as true standalone without the need for ableton however as it stands this is no use to me whatsoever. I had an Ableton Push 2 and sold it to buy the MPC live and now you're wasting time and effort turning this into a Push.
when you making these kinds of movies maybe Akai is going bankrupt and Ableton is getting ready to buy Akai out this why they are monopolizing Ableton Live and not their own DAW.. I Hope the CEO is reading these comments because he or she makes the final decision and report back to the shareholders...
Unlike a lot of the comments I think this is the greatest thing ever. Wireless syncing with ableton but keeping standalone features? V2.8 incredible number of midi synced devices over USB, with rock solid timing? Ableton is now the slave to the MPC, not the other way around. However, the sample browser in the MPC IS an absolute shit show, and needs to be rectified ASAP
The qlink knobs won’t work at all with Ableton Control, on MPC One. Simply dead.
I actually like this new form of integration it seems very useful and well thought out if you're already an Ableton user and want tighter integration with the DAW. Does this MPC 2.7 Software Update Feature also work with the MPC TOUCH ?
Is this EVERRR gonna be available for mpc one?!?
