    Illa J making that beat in real time then freestyling over it is one of the most creative things i've seen on youtube.
    Also, Andrew Huang and Rob Scallon do album in a day videos every year, check them out!

    Andy mentioned back in the day you had to pair MPCs with sound modules like Motifs and JVs. Even with the new synths, I still do.

    • @AndyMacMPCclub
      @AndyMacMPCclub Před 4 měsíci +4

      Yeah. - Some people still do. I still have my Motif Rack I use with all my other kit from time to time.

    I really appreciate the thing he said about DAWs. I am definitely not on the DAWless life. I LOVE using a DAW. Ableton is my home. Haha. But there is room for an isolated hardware environment in the process.
    Damn it I didn't think I'd be going back to MPC because the MPC One didn't work in my studio setup. But this Key 37 is gonna be mine. Great presentation.

    That intro beat sounds like Sade. And that's a good thing.
    I will definitely buy one of these. When it's not red. Hurry, Akai. Gray/black and Retro options, please.
    I recently sold a Live II. Needed a keyboard with it and got the MPK Mini Plus, but the pairing just was clumsy to use. Wires on devices meant to be ultimately portable. And which device to put on my lap and which to the side? For a desk-based setup, that's fine. For my travel/sofa-lap thing, i just went back to the same controller plus the Macbook Air. But, this makes more sense. It would be so much better with a battery, though-like the Live II. No speakers, just a battery, please....

    I want to see Key 37 user's compete in a beat battle competition for the best groove beat or short songs... C'mon Andy put it together I'm talking Live Platinum Mode! All I want is 10% of the profits Akai frfr game changer distribution for the production line because some guy are very skilled to inspire others with there sound and performance on the new unit on what can be achieved

    @Curious_Skeptic Před 3 měsíci +1

    Mah. I mean it's a steal for the tiny difference from MPC one plus. BUT, 2GB ram vs 4GB? That's such a lame move by Akai IMHO. I have to dig into specs to really see what we are missing out from MPC ONE or Key 61.

  • @kevrenshaw6177

  • @TeleporterM11
    @TeleporterM11 Před 3 měsíci

    Andy I suggest Akai release another version of this 37 key MpC loaded with a lot of stuff. It may cost more but there is a niche demand for more synths and drums.

    Pro Tip: stop adjusting your levels with the faders. use the drum efx gain feature or the level knob in the sample tab.

    All it needs is more ram and a speaker. Then it would wipe the floor with everything else.

    Anderson shop you have to be honest you too when you bring a guy like Andy Mac trying to make us buy shit products & after we spend money we got the product is not working right, I am sure you are aware of all this but the story these days became let’s make bussiness only & don’t be Honest, my expectations for Akai they will not stay long, the company ho shit there customer never live long, & it’s there first time they will fail they did it before many times, so my best regard to Mr Andy Mac & Anderton for being not honest A selling & promoting Shit, this Akai company they don’t know how to make a software that is not buggy they are expert in Bugs, BRAVO
