Is this still necessary in 2.3 with auto sampling now available ? If so, whats the difference Reply

A huge update in the new MPC OS, especially for those coming from the Elektron workflow, is the ability to now add probability to any note in the sequencer, whether it’s internal or sending MIDI externally. When you load that program into your project the MPC realises that all the samples are already there in memory and immediately attaches them to your program. This means you don’t have to spend any time creating keygroups, assigning samples, or setting up root notes; the program does everything for you – but it only works if you don’t change the name of the bounced sample (nor any other names in the templates!). Step 8: Tidy Sample Names Use an external storage device (USB or SD) to transfer files and projects directly from the MPC One to your computer.

At the top you’ll see there are no effect inserts applied to parts A or B. However head down to the ‘ MASTER‘ effects at the bottom where you can toggle through the three master effects using the tabs on the right; CHORUS, DELAY& REVERB. The MPC has now renamed all your note samples using the ‘program name’ followed by the the MIDI note number and pitch of the note the sample represents. Step 9. Save Your Program

The second problem sounds like you are missing out step 8, where you should be renaming both your program and all your samples using the ‘Tidy Keygroup Samples’ option. Once this is done your new program will have uniquely named samples so you can, if you wish, save them to the same folder as all other instruments. Reply The MPC One supports USB 2.0 connections and ships with a USB 2.0 cable to connect to your computer for controller mode. People seem to only focus on the 3 synths, but let's not forget the effects which are all plugins as well. inMusic owns Air Music Technology - not Akai - it's just the same parent company. As such, there are Akai branded effects on the current generation of MPC's, so it makes sense that these Akai branded effects show up as their own line of plug-ins. Referring to the Air developed plugins as "third party plugin" makes complete sense to differentiate between Air branded and Akai branded, IMHO.Now this workflow can be completed entirely in the computer GUI (there’s one task that has to be done in the GUI) but on the whole I’m going to explain the workflow from the hardware/touchscreen UI as that’s what most MPC X and MPC Live users are used to.

USB storage devices have no virtual limit on the capacity of the drive while SD cards up to 2TB in size are supported. The MPC One features a 7" (5.9” x 3.7”) full color, multi-touch display (resolution 1280x800, aspect ratio 16:10) for navigating and controlling the internal software. This means that not only is it touch-capable, but it can handle multi-touch gestures like pinching to zoom in/out and double-tap for advanced settings. For internal storage, the MPC One has 4GB onboard. There are 2GB of studio-quality sounds preloaded and another 2GB for you to work with. You can use the USB port or SD slot to add additional storage.Fire up MPC Software 2.x and connect your MPC Live/X via USB to your computer and turn on your MPC. Go to MENU and hit the ‘MPC’ chip near the top right of the screen and select CONTROLLER MODE. The MPC Plus utilises the same multi-core processor as the popular MPC X, creating a compact standalone desktop unit that easily handles demanding production tasks. The MPC One Plus experience is enhanced further by allowing you to get hands-on with audio editing. Chop and edit samples with hand gestures with the interactive 7-inch touch screen. A range of dedicated knobs and touch keys also help prevent endless searches through menus, allowing you to concentrate on the fun stuff. MPC mainstays Akai production tools have gained notoriety within the music industry, the MPC One Plus puts a range of these at your fingertips. The MPC One Plus comes with a new drum sample and loop library that covers a range of musical styles. These provide a great platform to build your next project on. Audio samples are curated from leading sound designers including RawCutz, SampleTools by CR2, F9, Decap, MSX Sound Design and MVP Loop. The MPC One Plus also features a range of Akai’s professional synth engines, ensuring you’ll never run out of creative tools for your musical ideas. These include Electric, Tubesynth and Bassline, as well as the premium AIR FX for mixing & mastering. Features Incorporating their legendary MPC pad design, the MPC One features 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch for fluid playability. From chopping samples to finger-drumming and creating melodies; the 16-pad array makes it easy to input notes and control parameters. You can also take control of volume and other parameters using the four touch-capacitive Q-Links knobs. The new and revamped look now features an eye-catching red finish complete with a USB host port for thumb drives, MIDI controllers and audio interfaces. Actually — i think once you built the template, not too hard. Could possibly be a single run, the sequence repeated 4 times at different velocities, then the name scheme would work in the layers. Maybe? Reply

We all know that we can’t use plugin instruments while in ‘standalone mode’ in our MPC X & MPC Live, but we can quite literally ‘clone’ those plugins by multisampling them and creating native MPC ‘keygroup’ instruments from those samples. You can choose to SUM both channels or use just LEFT or RIGHT, the best option will vary depending on the patch so you might have to experiment. That’s it for this tutorial, but there’s plenty more advanced options you could consider as you get more comfortable with the multisampling workflow. You could for example create custom templates to multisample more notes (e.g. every 3 semitones, or even chromatically), or to record over multiple dynamic levels.

Akai’s MPC One was introduced back in 2020 and quickly made heads turn. How has it changed since its release?

All content will need to be stored on a USB drive or SD card before transferring to the internal storage on the MPC One. The Internal drive will not appear as an available drive when connected to your computer. In LAYER 1, single tap the trashcan icon to the left of the sample name to remove the sample assigned to this keygroup. Repeat for all the key groups you wish to disable. Once you’ve removed all the samples, re-save the keygroup program. Converting To Mono While you can just go ahead and create your bounced chops with the default sequence settings, each note is going to be sampled for 5 seconds which means you’ll have a long empty gap at the end of each sample. This is not very efficient in terms of memory usage, and while we can edit the individual samples (either at the chop stage or after they’ve been chopped), it’s a lot easier to adjust our sequence instead. After an unsuccessful attempt at launching a drum machine and sampler hybrid called the Linn 9000, he and Akai began working together to “re-engineer” the concept behind the 9000 into something brand new. This would become the MPC60, which was released in December 1988.
