Unbelievable contortions just to get everything ready... I got my mpc today and spent all day trying to get everything up and running. I-lock wont accept some key codes ... back and forwards between sites, back and forward downloading all over the place. The system needs to be streamlied. One click FFS. Also, hell knows how I get content expansions.. I bought a couple to get me going and they are not showing in the Inmusic registration zone. It's a joke.
This video already seems out of date. I just purchased an MPC Studio Mk 2 and tried to install the software today and instead gives me the MPC Studio Software Manager. Unfortunately something seems broken in the activation process as the Serial/MPC key provided doesn't activate the MPC software
thank you for posting this, this whole System is a joke. I first got it took me all day to get it shut up couple months later I get a new computer and back-and-forth. I lock an app Kai and I don't have a file for that file for that. It's taking me a week to get the app on my new computer. It's almost enough to make me go somewhere else
After reading the comments here I was absolutely terrified to attempt this and yes it does seem an incredibly complex way of doing something relatively straightforward, but somehow I managed to do it😊
I’ve had enough of this Akai has truly messed this up I’m thinking of trying something new the whole process is so long and complicated, it’s killing my vibe to even want to make music, any suggestions?
Akai is such a headache. I got my MPC professional 11 years ago and there were so many issues with either the serial number, or using the MPC application and I contacted them for help and they never got back to me and I was never able to use it until today and there were still issues with the MPC application and not having any samples in it so I can’t even use it still. After 11 years!!!!!
Ok, I have been trying to figure this out since January. I have an MPC X SE and I followed these steps all the way up until it says SYNTH MANAGER. Synth Manager does not exist on my 2.14 software, nor on the previous version. PLEASE HELP. I just want to make music.
Brother I am literally doing the exact same thing right now. Lol. I'm like wait wtf is this shit now... I'm thinking maybe they changed how it's set up, so it's maybe integrated into one of the other programs? Idk man this was much more complex than most setups that I've ever done lol
@@Skizz_Missive Nope, that is exactly where I am having the issue. My fabric, Organ, OPx-4, Stage EP, Stage Piano, and Studio strings all say get trial. No options to activate them. When I click it says you've already exceeded your trial period.
Had the Live 2 since release. Never used controller mode. Just got Stems, it will not connect to controller mode. It says the drivers are out of date. What? I’m on version 2.14 on both the software and on my Live… Where tf are the driver downloads??! I can’t even use Stems.
hey, im using a Mac OS. I can't find the get Syth content, could you help? it doesn't appear where you have said they are. how would I find all my plugins.
I am in the same boat. F Akai! Been trying to do this since January and gave up. Now tonight trying it again and Synth Manager does not exist in my software. WTF Akai!
Had the Live 2 about 2 years ago and sold it. Just bought a used studio mk2 and a new computer, however my old computer is done for. Will it be possible to dowload my old software yo the new computer for use with the studio mk2?
what are the guidelines for installing the driver in regards to having the hardware connected? Normally manufacturers are very clear that the device needs to be disconnected and connected at a specific timing of the steps??
This is the biggest bs ever! I just paid $2500 for this new instrument and have been trying to get this activated all weekend long. Makes me sick. I should have just bought an mpc 3000 and I would have been making music by now!
It’s unacceptable how you won’t just make the MPC Touch compatible with the newer Mac OS softwares it’s just updating the driver to make the touchscreen work again DO BETTER AKAI !!
WHAT A COMPLETE BALL ACHE OF A PROCESS!

yea, man. im im the middle of doing this right now and its a pain in the ass. but im getting close. hopefully its all worth it.
@@VictorRivera-re3xw Oh yea, it's worth it :)
@@VictorRivera-re3xw Did you have the synth manager in your software? It does not exist on mine?
Could you make this any more complex??? I thought this was for musicians not for computer programmers 🙈 totally crazy!!!

Should add, InMusic Support were quick to address this and all is working fine now!

Did you get in so you can enjoy the overly complex workflo too?
Thank you for this. All the other tutorials out there overlooked where to get the software from

This whole new system is a joke , seriously
I'm 100%%% with you on that. I buy equipment like this to play music not be a computer tech !!!
Oh boy! glad I didn't invest 😕
Damn, 😂 I’m here now.

It is also under the Activations tab under Preferences in the MPC Program. I hope this was somewhat helpful

The best tutorial

Did you ever find out how to fix it?
???
Syth content doesn’t pop up
I am in the same boat. F Akai! Been trying to do this since January and gave up. Now tonight trying it again and Synth Manager does not exist in my software. WTF Akai!
What if you bought a used Akai MPC and it was already register, What is that process?
I have a Akai MPC Black can I use MPC Beat how I do this and will it work or not need help....david
Great tutorial, thanks!
Do I have to do all this? I just got my MOC for Christmas, I just wanna make beats.
right? no ish! nothing kills creativity like tech bs
Had the Live 2 about 2 years ago and sold it. Just bought a used studio mk2 and a new computer, however my old computer is done for. Will it be possible to dowload my old software yo the new computer for use with the studio mk2?
This shit took me forever 😂 and i couldnt find synth content
Very helpful MPC x
Do I need to have MPC 2 software in order to have the activate plugins feature?
Great video
what are the guidelines for installing the driver in regards to having the hardware connected? Normally manufacturers are very clear that the device needs to be disconnected and connected at a specific timing of the steps??
Hi Johnny! Your MPC hardware does not need to be connected to your computer at any point during driver installation.
cant get synth content on windows 10 im not sure what to do it doesnt pop up.
i make this using win 10 and i cant get the synth content. what to do now? help!
same problem
@@marcoteso2188 solved it here, i can help u
same
This is the biggest bs ever! I just paid $2500 for this new instrument and have been trying to get this activated all weekend long. Makes me sick. I should have just bought an mpc 3000 and I would have been making music by now!
Crazy how to complicated is that setup , it's a nightmare , that's waste my time.
So much work just to make music. no wonder i just go back to logic all the time lol
It’s unacceptable how you won’t just make the MPC Touch compatible with the newer Mac OS softwares it’s just updating the driver to make the touchscreen work again DO BETTER AKAI !!
i like how my installer 2.12 doesn't give me the option to choose my controller.
I see this demo is 2.11. I loaded 2.12 and none of these options are in the installations process. Probably me, is it in another folder? lol
software is for you computer. Firmware is for your mpc, or both?
Is the backing track made on mpc software? So soft and sweet
Naw, Native Instruments.....................lol
Just buy a pre loaded mpc
My man thank you so much may God bless you in Jesus name ❤️

What the #$%% reall
Smh it’s a shame you have to do all of this
you system is trash guys
I need help I click the plus sign and there is no link to download mpc2.0
Same problem :/
I think the newer MPCs no longer come with the software, we need to buy it...
Which is very sad if true :(
