I hope they Will fix bugs soon as possible ...I trust them..the guys Who write the code love mpc , play It Daily..i love the new work flow..but..talk na bout the real sh...t!!....give US a 16gb 8 core mpc..luck we can hach and upgrade till 4gb ..im saving and wait for the most Powerfull model when this One Is out upgrade hardware from blacklion mods..and when this bugs free ..Is the only and all you Need ...the ultimate groove box..maybe a model with a 16 track mixer as mc909?...wow
This is dope. Sound is what attracted me (a long-time MPC user) to Native Instruments. As an MPC user, I request Alicias Keys/Electric Keys, Soul Sessions, Bazzazian Tapes, Deft Lines, Empire Breaks, Feel It, and Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass. I use these Kontakt instruments most and would love to see them in the MPC.
Thank you for the new Akai Pro MPC3 software with Native Instruments integration! You have made many people's lives better than ever! This is the highest level! Much respect and love!
I just saw the official release notes and that you guys are working on odd time signatures returning in a future update. Alongside these new instruments, this will truly make my MPC in incredibly useful creative tool. I'm really looking forward to that update. Thanks for addressing this, Akai!
Yes, indeed! We deeply appreciate the feedback from our MPC 3 beta users. Two key areas-Time Signature Support and the MIDI Note Off issue-have been at the forefront of your input. Please rest assured that we are actively working to address these concerns in a future update
But isn’t it crazy how hard Akai is working, listening to us and even be able to coming up with theses woooooooooow effect? I am more the impressed ❤ Daayyuummmnnn 🎉
@@AkaiProVideo looks and sounds nice, but when are you going to develop the sampler ability further? You havent touched it in ages. Or is it legacy functions not interesting to you anymore? Would be great to know. Cheers
@ interesting, thanks i will! I hate to be the one but seeing the MPC turned into a rompler breaks my heart. Making our own keygroups and, why not, sampling our own drum libraries from our Kontakt libraries for instance should be a breeze and they (until now..) hadnt touch that side since its first release. I hope they put some enpahsis on the core and essence of the MPC, the sampler ability. Ill check what you said. Cheers
Akai!!! Thanks for letting me having so much fun! You know what would be GREAT? If there would be in der right corner of the Channel Mixer, a Master channel, so we could put Mastering Plugins in there.... and the MPC would be a complete Studio!!!! THANK YOU
this is great for MPC standalone users - how about MPC 3.0 software for the MPC Studio? If you guys have plans to update the studio to 3.0, will it also get the Native Instruments integration like standalone? Also, any plans on updating the Force to this new standard (mpc3 features not in Force, stems, NI integration etc)? Thanks and more power to you guys!
I love how Akai keeps updating the MPC with new stuff. If i may suggest some , a visual EQ , that would help many improve their mixes. And a vocal plugin like duets/background singers etc , like arcade. Or a plugin with presets to turn ur own vocal into talkbox/vocoder and other
The only thing that bothers me is the fact since the release of Maschine plus, none of other instruments or fx have been added. I bought komplete with the idea that other instruments or fx would be supported in standalone, at least those that dot ask much cpu. Like if we can run phases, we should be able to run any other fx from that serie. Seeing that theymade some instruments/play series compatible with the mpc blows my mind. Thinking about getting rid of my plus and mpc one, and wait for the mpc live mk3, wich should be the next to update. Probably the most sold mpc is the live 2, and it’s a great device.
@@louisik1 Yea, I just look in Native Access & it's 4GB's & on the NI site for the MPC version it's just over 1GB's so, yea, they cut corners obviously, but where? I'm sure someone will eventually do a deep dive
I was loving how the q-links worked in “screen control” mode in Grid view prior to this update. Q-links were set for vertical and horizontal zooming - now they only show in Arrange View - in Grid view they’ve been replaced with metronome/quantise/swing controls - how can I switch back the q-link defaults for grid view to how they were before 3.4.1?? Pls!
It's really taking the right direction ! Any hope to see more NI products integrated any time soon ? I'm particularly thinking of its session series ( session guitarists and bassists ) and action series ( action strings, drums, woodwinds )... Ultimate update would certainly include an AI based vocal generator such as SynthesizerV... Humanity must keep on dreaming you know... ;)
I'm curious to see a tutorial from Akai showing how to put together a repertoire on the MPC with more than one song, or that goes from the first to the second song, to the third, fourth, etc. The MPC 3 broke the workflow that used to work very well. I could easily organize projects with several songs and just switch to sequences 2, 3, 4... and the set of tracks was already very well organized. I just had to start playing. Now, if I'm in sequence 1 and switch to sequence 2, the tracks from sequence 1 are still there. If I switch to sequence 3, 4, 5... the tracks from sequence 1 will still be there. So I need to tap the screen more and turn the main knob more to be able to organize the tracks I need. Now it's become chaos lol. I suggested in the form a kind of bookmark so that the tracks could be organized in any order, without necessarily changing the order of the tracks in the matrix, but it seems that this is too complex for current developers.
@@synkukI'm with you but first they have to make it work flawless. Even dark vocals can't be separated from bright backround strings in a satisfying way.

I doubt it. Right now at least it looks like it's only a select few pieces of preset players and expansions. The machine plus still has power being able to load their synths like massive and reaktor. Even still machines power has been it's desktop integration and a lot of people prefer that over the plus because you just get more. Are you standalone? No, but you have the power of your computer and aren't limited. Wanna use serum? Phaseplant? No issues. MPC is definitely at the top of the game for standalone gear but won't kill machine. Teo different products.
So question! I do have Analog Dreams and many more expansions already with Native Instruments. Would I have to re-purchase the expansion for the MPC Standalone? I want this question to exist to open the possibility -Overall, I AM UBER EXCITED FOR THIS OMG !!!!!!!
MPC Expansions have been custom made for MPC users, with everything reformatted to work seamlessly with your AKAI Pro hardware. Detailes here: www.akaipro.com/mpc3
In MPC3, how do I do a "Drum Split" on a MPC Key? It used to be a tab in "Key range". I could play drum on pads and instrument (on keys) at the same time.
Hope to see a talkbox/vocoder emulator (plugin). Also a setting that we see midi notes/chords on the grid of another track ( like in Fl ) , that has to be duable. That would speed up the workflow , especialy for baselines / leads
Love my MPC, but no Time Signature support is unacceptable, it is probably the most important variable in a piece of music. Such a shame that I still cannot produce on this fantastic piece of gear because of such a key feature.
@Akai: Will you release the example that can be heard between 4:39 and 6:35? I really like it and would have loved to buy it as a complete song! Does anyone know more about this?
Well, this is certainly a pleasant surprise! The NI content sounds great in this demo. I'm not sure I'm ready to update my X to 3.0. So, I guess I'll have to grab a Key 37. 🙂
I literally said the same thing to my buddy on ig. Seems like everyone can see this.. Akai’s move to make a standalone mpc again had ripple effects no one was ready for. They changed the game….and kept their foot on everyone’s neck…love it.
@@beneg417that’s fair but they’ve been doing hardware just as long too. Their hardware interface, traktor, machine, etc. so it’s not like they were slouching on the hardware side of things. But I think expanding their instruments was a smart move for them and also a first as well given that mpc is direct competition to their hardware unit. But a win, win? Seems like it. Everybody’s eating.
Great stuff, but what about Akai Force? I hope these plugins and other updates are coming ! At least some information to provide clarity would be appreciated

This guy always nails the changes. He's good and really knows the changes well
He always does an amazing job with his presentation for Akai.
This was always going to be the end result! I'm glad both companies had the sense to make this happen sooner rather than later! Bravo X
Just a couple nights ago I was searching for a good synth for my mpc one. I opened the internet today and my jaw dropped thank you!!!
Your MPC one turned into the good synth 😂
Please Akai - will we ever get any of these updates for the Force ??
Literally sitting in my car about to pick up an MPC Key 61 and this video comes across my feed. Amazing!!!
Thank you AKAI for this.. now.. developes from the best sounds from NI & the best keyboard from you.. definitive the leadership of production ❤
Please bring these to FORCE, the 8 knobs are perfect for it! 🔥
Please, please!
I know I can’t understand why they did what they did with the force. It’s such a cool machine.
@Ryannbakerbeatss Agreed, and there is nothing like it on the market. Hopefully it's because they are close to announcing the mk2!

Amazing. Been waiting years for this. Thank you Akai & Native Instruments . . Life is good 💯
The future is bright! Enjoy!
Those beats from Andy, always beyond dopeness🔥🔥💛
Excellent work as usual Akai. I'm really enjoying my Key and 3.0.

For paying again when I want to use my NI Library I already own?
@hansvollspann6909 it is a new eco system.. maybe yes! You have to convert the plugins...
Calling sick tomorrow at work… ohh.. then Friday. Awesome timing!!
You guys are the best at what you do. I’m never leaving.
Thanks for your support!
A very nice surprise I did not expect! Definitely copping today. Good work Akai!

You just smashed Zay with that first track... You must be doing track for professional artist, you got it going like Scott Scorch man👍👍

Also, any plans on updating the Force to this new standard (mpc3 features not in Force, stems, NI integration etc)? Thanks and more power to you guys!
Besides the Native Instruments integration. What else is in the official realease of MPC3?
I love how Akai keeps updating the MPC with new stuff. If i may suggest some ,
a visual EQ , that would help many improve their mixes.
And a vocal plugin like duets/background singers etc , like arcade. Or a plugin with presets to turn ur own vocal into talkbox/vocoder and other
Great vid Andy! Clear and precise very detailed certainly will look at this for a possible buy this year! Big hands by the way Andy lol
when do we get mpc 3 on controller mode... its rediculous to be using 2 different versions all the time.
the mac sucks with the dongle always disconnecting. MPC needs to make an usb-c compliant driver because mine wont connect

Wow.I know Ableton my favorite is starting to sweat. Akai really is coming up serious. All this combined with mpc x se. WOOOO!!! Let’s go
Ableton is sweating? Lol ok buddy. In that case you might as well say FL Studio is sweating also
So when does the 3.0 desktop software drop?
Maybe never so you have to buy the hardware 😀
If I just bought the Komplete collectors edition, do I have to purchase these again?
same here i already contacted the so called support in a few weeks/month we know more but i´m pretty sure we all have to pay
You know you’re about to get bent over.
NI loves putting it in people.
They have s¢rewed me several times on updates.

Completely agree - it's now abandonware

You can activate on 3 machines. Thanks.
In MPC3, how do I do a "Drum Split" on a MPC Key? It used to be a tab in "Key range". I could play drum on pads and instrument (on keys) at the same time.
What about a granular instrument or a granular keygroup? It’s almost possible to build but not there yet :)
When a leader and sound development is boo’d up with a leading midi production standalone it’s a match made in Heaven.
Hope to see a talkbox/vocoder emulator (plugin). Also a setting that we see midi notes/chords on the grid of another track ( like in Fl ) , that has to be duable. That would speed up the workflow , especialy for baselines / leads

When will the mac/win version of mpc3 be available?
Native sounds are superior imo. I like this.
Would be amazing if you where able to plugin a novation launch pad and use clip triggers like force. Best of both worlds.
When is the desktop software going to get the same upgrade?
When are all of them available, currently only some of them seem to be on natives website and coming up on the activations list on my Mpc key 37
Can we have this in force? Can you even tell us if force will be updated? Is this asking to much?
Will there ever be an update for the impc Pro 2? or possibly a impc Pro 3?
Nice ! but let me guess, Not currently available for Force customers.
Wahoo, where do I signup….
Ok MPC update tomorrow. Then I think Nacht get purchased sooner rather than later…
