Great stuff! I started following your channel when you just had a few hundred followers. I don’t always pay attention to every video you post, but every time I do watch, I always learn something new. You’re a master at the MPC workflow and you explain the process so clearly. I’m happy your fanbase has grown, but I honestly feel like you deserve way more followers. I can think of another youtuber (who shall remain nameless) who specializes in MPC tutorials. His approach and presentation is irritatingly hokey, and yet he has way more followers than you… The world is chaos.
Thanks 🙏 I’ve been told the fan base thing is because I’m not on camera which I find a bit strange - why would thousands of grown men care about what another grown man looks like? 😂 I think some channels like to play the numbers game and provide quantity as opposed to quality. That’s not to say I consider all my videos to be brilliant. I’ve done many shit ones IMO but that’s only down to either video quality or me winging a tutorial and it not working out as well as I’d liked (they are never scripted or planned as such). My intention is never to fiddle the algorithm. I won’t upload a video if it isn’t keeping it real! Anyway respect ✊
This man should be in the credits of every one of my tracks, Digga is a goldmine of information if you are willing to learn this way. *THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEOS.* You really dont know how valuable stuff like this is
Re: the synth content - go to the product page on Akai Pros website for the One, X or Live/Live MK2. Then go to the separate downloads tab and the synth installer download is there. The synths work on the hardware in standalone but you have to copy the synth content to the root directory of a usb stick or SD card.
Oh hell yes! This wasn't even on my radar. Literally just last night I was in the shower wondering if/when Hype would make it to standalone. Super hyped to get home from work now!
A couple of small updates I’ve noticed: when you switch banks you now get an onscreen prompt and when you press a note on the pads for key groups and plug-ins the pad highlights the same notes in every visible octave.
5:39 you can use the pad off option for making time synced snare rolls - lets say you have 2 snares on pad 5 and pad 6, set pad 5 to note off, and let it simultaneously play pad 6 (in the same window) when you then hit pad 5 it will play the snare of pad 6 and when you release it (note off) it plays the original sample. ;)
love these in depth videos into an update, usually akai only concentrate on the big things they have updated, and make 4-5 videos on those big things, but leave out all of this technical details of the small things they have done, like extra sample editing pages etc.
You’re a legend. Thank you for all your videos. I wonder, how many repeat views you get with your tutorials. I know I rewatch all the time. And FYI, the portage to quantize is pitch quantization not timing quantization which is shipyards it doesn’t lock to a quarter note, eight note, etc.
One idea for the Note Off: There are tons of instruments that make a "sound" when releasing a key/string/etc. You could assign that sound to the release, so it sounds more realistic.
Am I wrong or it it like groups cutting the note off? Sometimes I have a empty pad with the same group assigned just to cut off the sample but follow it up with nothing
I've just watched the Akai promo, going out to enjoy the sun, but already given the video a thumbs up, because we all know it'll be worth our time. Big ups Mr Digga 👊
The compatibility with USB audio interfaces is huge if you have a One. The one reason I was considering the Live over it was for the additional I/O, but connecting my mixer now removes that advantage so all the capability is there for much less money. Synths and effects are fine but a lot of people already have loads of sounds available. Allowing you to run this with an external interface or USB mixer makes it far more valuable IMO. The lack of inputs makes it pretty tedious to work without a DAW but there’s a ton of flexibility now. Great update.
Awesome! Always Murking it Tube Digga. Thank you! One thing I hope they bring back, that they took out on 2.8 and so on is Track Mute. I believe that is an important feature and a must have feature in all MPC's. IMO but AKAI does not listen to some of us that want it to function like it did before unfortunately.
Note off is great for hi hat! AKAI really packs in the features with each upgrade. Love the 32 channels over USB to compliant devices! TubeDigga is always my first stop after an MPC upgrade for an overview of all the new features.
This is a real good exposition of the new features. Thank you. However one thing, that shift-stop behavior has been in the MPC since, well I don't know, since I got mine, 2.3 or something.
Just installed and I'm impressed so far. Haven't had time to go through everything yet but I did noticed they moved the filter layout round and they're a little bit harder to find now, time wil tell if it's an improved workflow with the filters. But some of the synths sound awesome
I've grown to use Q-Links "Pad Scene" column 3 for the filter, left the MPC3000 LPF filter emulation for default so I know its always there, now its mechanical :D , hope it helps
@Tubedigga I think the Usb interface feature is really dope. But Akai still hasn't fixed the track mute. Still if you hit mute on your track it muted all the pad and sounds in that program smh
Nice demo/tutorial. I agree, sample start via various mod sources would have been dope, was hoping for this. Also link with Dropbox folder (or any other cloud service) would be handy. Lfo retrigger option on/off and Env loop ability are welcome :D The portamento / glide is dope, it's only always retriggering the samples, would be nice if they would not retrigger so you get a glide while the sample continues. Of course a lot can be done in a way if you are creative, but it would make things easy and workflow faster. Who knows future frimware will bring this :)
Air Vocal doubler is very cool, I wish there would be some kinda plugin for a good VOCODER. The Stutter is something I find similar to the RC505 looper FX called "slicer." Great video again, thanks!
I put 2.10 and the synth contents on a USB stick , but only 2.10 has updated , it says "please download contents of synths" , i am not sure how to do that ?
It’s Christmas in July! Oka, everything looks so cool, but that LFO and modulations page was kind of disappointing. This beast NEEDS a proper mod matrix.
i knew when i first heard of the 2.10 update you’d feature it the best. Went straight for the mellotron and the granulator, exactly what i wanted to see. You’re the illest
Note Off - the Roland Aerophone AE-30 drumsets bizarrely only send Note Off. The question I have is whether the MPC now records orphan Note Offs (previous versions didn't). I was just about to put out a video but now I have to upgrade my MPC and re-test. 😀
is it me, my mac, or my laptop but I've been trying to update my mpc one with the new 2.10 firmware update through both the usb flash drive and the usb cable but it it isn't working. when I try updating through the usb cable is says it needs a power supply even though I have the power cable connected. When I download the usb disk image on my mac onto my flash drive and insert it into the mpc it recognises that the flash drive contains the 2.10 firmware it also states that I'm currently running the 2.7 firmware but when I press upgrade it states that there is a problem with update file. I have also tried to download the firmware onto my pc and its states that the file is corrupted. am I the only person experiencing this??????
Amazing! Thank you so much for this TubeDigga! I love your videos. I wonder, with this update and the "tail length", do you see better ways of working with soundscapes and drone-sounds? It still feels very clumsy somehow being unable to overlap the loops and play outside of the bar and/or creating spaced-out/mesmerising sound-scapes...I love your videos on SoundScapes and Drones and wonder whether you see it expanded now with the update?
They need to update the piano roll where we can step input using our pads, rest, input using our pad again. Instead of touching that screen to input notes.
@@uly1981 yes, I do use the Elektron analog four mk1 step sequencer (midi out) to sequence my 2600 and I writing sequences on A4. I just feel mpcx/mpc live would rock more if it had that xox style sequencing like from mpc1000, mpc 4000
Yes, in the other QLink modes such as Project or Program mode you can check a box so the qlinks snap back to a default value. It’s very handy for automating parameters or in a live situation.
I had problems with my mpc one in the past and sold it. Unfortunately there were bad jitter in the midi clock and the onw would not start and stop to incoming midi clock signals. I really would love to have the mpc again but syncing is crucial to me. Can you start and stop the mpc (one) when syncing it to midi clock?
Tubedigga, Always appreciate the vids. I have MPC 2.10 but I have an error that’s says,”no audio will be processed.” I have a focusrite saffire pro 40 fw-thunderbolt adapter. All the inputs seem to be correct. The software recognizes the interface. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
For the transport controls, specifically the SHIFT+STOP function, I struggle to find out when that would be useful, as I have a PLAY START button on my MPC Live that allows me to play from the start as well. And even when recording, it'll always record from the start, unless I specify a punch-in location. Any suggestions for how to best use this feature?
in the transport shift+stop tutorial wouldnt this be the same as double pressing the stop button? because thats what ive been doing and it has the same effect. not sure if thats a new feature
I am having a issue running the desktop ver for windows..should i uninstall ver2.9.1 completely,the run the new 2.10. On my computer..this not a update for the existing daw,but a completely new daw?
@@TUBEDIGGA Thanks. Have you noticed that when making a keygroup sample instrument using LFO, the LFO retriggers every time a pad is played? Have you figured a way to make it free running to add pitch drift on keygroups made from a sample? Also with Sample & Hold, it restarts at 0 every time a pad is played, unlike conventional S&H so that when used with pitch, you can't get that analog feel with constantly shifting pitch when a pad is played.
@@Digiphex That’s unfortunately the way MPC lfos have always worked as do the ones in drum programs. I use sample and hold with a very low or subtle amount to create that analog drifting you mentioned and it works fine. I can’t check for you as I’m not currently with my MPC but you could also try NOISE at a very low value and rate
Looking forward to this one, looks a doozer, I had no idea it was coming. Thanks for the vid Mr Digga, always good to get a headsup and walkthrough from you.
So guys don't do this ....go on the akai front page website n dl link won't work dont dl from your software where it says look for updates or get synths. I did this 28 times. Go to your account online account sighn in and select it inside your account. Worked perfectly first time no drama in 5 mins.
Greetings! from which update can i recall the notes i randomly played? i saw this in a video but cant remember which one... like the sequence is going and i play some random notes without recording, and it sounded good so i want to recall that in the piano roll
I believe you’re referring to RETROSPECTIVE RECORD. Play some notes then with the sequencer stopped press and hold SHIFT then the main record button and the notes will be printed into your sequence. I show this in the MPC 2.9 update video.
@@TUBEDIGGA by the way, is it worth the update from 2.9 to 2.1? except the new plugins, is the workflow better for making drums and sequencing hardware? i read somewhere its a bit more sluggish
Thanks for this video made me update instantly ! But Im having a issue now , when ever I open a beat I was making on the software previously before the update and I try to record something while overdubbing its not recording the midi , please help !
My X updated fine when i first installed it, then suddenly it just stopped working.And now it won't even run the installer for this update on windows 7 64x. I'm starting to regret getting the X and i'm seriously thinking about back to my 2KXL.
Yes, I will be adding 2.10 content so even if you but it now, you’ll get it added for free. I haven’t been able to add any 2.10 stuff because of the non disclosure agreement I signed with Akai 👍
Do I have to re update to get the synth content to update? I already updated the firmware. I also downloaded the synth content. Just don't know what step to take next
It's a separate download on the downloads page. Gotta love Akai for not making that clear or at least having that as a DL on the MPC ONE page. And good luck - the servers are gacked now.
Unzip the files then you Need to place the synth folder on the root directory of either your: SSD hard drive (if you have one!) Or a SD card or usb drive then the new synths will just work!
Hi, I suppose it could be beneficial when editing to audition it but I never think to myself it lacks that ability. I work extensively in program edit so I’m fine with it just being there. I much rather they implement proper, click free and smooth crossfade looping in drum and keygroup programs. That would be a much better area of looping to improve in my opinion.
@@TUBEDIGGA thks what is to you the best way to find a cool 4 bar loop on a long sample without having to readjust the end point when moving the start point
Tubedigga any hint if they are going to update the looper? As in per pad direct loop recording from the looper. The mpc one has all the power on board to also become the ultimate live loopers dream.
I think one use for the note off trigger, is for e.g hammer up sounds on a linked pad. i.e one pad does the main body of the note, another linked pad does the hammer off sound when the note ends
Cheers. Great vid as always. When I try to download the synth content to my mac the file seems to download then just before it is ready to open it just starts to download from the start again. Any ideas?
Just got back to working on my MPC Live again after summer break. Installed 2.1 update and it all seems fine.... if i let it freeze. If i just start up a new arrangment and start producing, it will freeze 1 or 2 times after about 3 to 10 minutes of use. And i mean freeze in the litterly sense. It will not respond, playback stops and the machine is dead until i force it off and start it up again. And after that it may work correctly or freeze again. Never had issues with the machine, it always worked great before. What gives?
... as a note. I did a simpre reset. And as long as i let it keep crashing, it will eventually work. But it is annoying as **** if you got a quick idea, wich is kind of how i use the machine.
It could be a few different things which could be fixed, including something more serious like a hardware issue. You were right to do a reset but if that didn't work then I'd have to take a look if possible - see what projects you may be loading or other things that may be causing it, any peripherals that you may have attached like midi controllers or drives. I offer Zoom calls for lessons and tech support, my email address is in the description if you need direct help.
hey man thanks for the useful content...your amazing. I see that you use the 809 plugin and the bank and so on ....may I ask how you did install them to show up in the instruments in mpc standalone I can´t make it to work. kind regards keep up the great work. greetings from Leipzig btw the s2400 videos are charming
Hi Tubedigga. I have submitted an issue with it this release to the forum but have had no response. Could you confirm you have “chromatic” as a scale option when in midi or keys mode. Since my update, it doesn’t exist. Am I going mad?🙈
When I’m in controller mode with my mpc, the buttons and pads are somehow reacting in a strange way. For example buttons is also triggering notes, some pads are triggering other pads. Does anybody know why? Is something set up the wrong way? Or is this just a bug? I’m running MacOS Catalina, the latest driver, software and firmware for the mpc.
So what's up with the audio tracks now are there more than before? Can a USB microphone and interface be plugged in at the same time? I mean if this thing had more RAM for audio I mean it would be a complete studio really. I mean to the point where you wouldn't worry about running out of space for being able to do things. Either way I feel confused. It's some decisions I made I would have made different if this already had the USB audio. Does anybody know anything about the force if it'll be able to do this?
Thanks a lot for this video TUBEDIGGA ! I have a question....where is the BPM Detect ? I don't see it anymore in the Sample Edit menu :( Edit: Ok I found it ! There is a new arrow at the right of the trim screen ;)

The synths work on the hardware in standalone but you have to copy the synth content to the root directory of a usb stick or SD card.
Or to internal drive if present. More convenient for me as I have the Live.
I placed the synth inside the root of the attached sata drive it still complained of not seeing it. Until I moved it to SD card or flash drive.
@25:30 The "Quantize" is pitch quantization to the scale as notes glide. not time.
A.k.a. glissando (vs. portamento, which is a smooth slide between two notes).

For the transport controls, specifically the SHIFT+STOP function, I struggle to find out when that would be useful, as I have a PLAY START button on my MPC Live that allows me to play from the start as well. And even when recording, it'll always record from the start, unless I specify a punch-in location. Any suggestions for how to best use this feature?
You may want to edit the very start of the sequence without having to scroll back manually.
@@TUBEDIGGA Thank you. I hadn't considered that.
in the transport shift+stop tutorial wouldnt this be the same as double pressing the stop button? because thats what ive been doing and it has the same effect. not sure if thats a new feature
I am having a issue running the desktop ver for windows..should i uninstall ver2.9.1 completely,the run the new 2.10. On my computer..this not a update for the existing daw,but a completely new daw?
Can you instant track mute like on 2.7? Punch in and punch out on midi tracks?
How do you make the pads velocity 100% at all times?
The FULL LEVEL button or in PROGRAM edit you can individually set each pads velocity to level parameter to 0
@@TUBEDIGGA Thanks. Have you noticed that when making a keygroup sample instrument using LFO, the LFO retriggers every time a pad is played? Have you figured a way to make it free running to add pitch drift on keygroups made from a sample? Also with Sample & Hold, it restarts at 0 every time a pad is played, unlike conventional S&H so that when used with pitch, you can't get that analog feel with constantly shifting pitch when a pad is played.
@@Digiphex That’s unfortunately the way MPC lfos have always worked as do the ones in drum programs. I use sample and hold with a very low or subtle amount to create that analog drifting you mentioned and it works fine. I can’t check for you as I’m not currently with my MPC but you could also try NOISE at a very low value and rate
Looking forward to this one, looks a doozer, I had no idea it was coming. Thanks for the vid Mr Digga, always good to get a headsup and walkthrough from you.
So did anyone else catch the cheeky upload launch codes to skynet undo feature? 37:47
Weekend plans are set! Thanks for the great walk through!
Is it me does the odyssey sound weak ?meaning Low volume
So guys don't do this ....go on the akai front page website n dl link won't work dont dl from your software where it says look for updates or get synths. I did this 28 times. Go to your account online account sighn in and select it inside your account. Worked perfectly first time no drama in 5 mins.
Where can I get some good samples in general? I was using splice but couldn’t really find anything idk maybe i need to give it another try
Loopcloud by Loopmasters isn’t too bad.
38:32 I don’t have The 809 or The Bank. Are these available for standalone or just controller mode?
Just controller mode
@@TUBEDIGGA thx
Ever since the update,when I’m in track view,I don’t have control over the panning,any idea what it could be?
Thank you very much for such comprehensive review !
Greetings! from which update can i recall the notes i randomly played? i saw this in a video but cant remember which one... like the sequence is going and i play some random notes without recording, and it sounded good so i want to recall that in the piano roll
I believe you’re referring to RETROSPECTIVE RECORD. Play some notes then with the sequencer stopped press and hold SHIFT then the main record button and the notes will be printed into your sequence. I show this in the MPC 2.9 update video.
@@TUBEDIGGA that is it!!!!! thanks a million!!!
@@TUBEDIGGA by the way, is it worth the update from 2.9 to 2.1? except the new plugins, is the workflow better for making drums and sequencing hardware? i read somewhere its a bit more sluggish
great tutorial as always do you know anything about repairing mpc's or know of anyone in the UK that does?
Search for Jazzcat on Instagram or Facebook, he repairs the vintage ones at least (60, 3k, 2500, 2000XL). not sure if he deals with the new machines.
Thanks for the great rundown! Great update!
Thanks for this video made me update instantly ! But Im having a issue now , when ever I open a beat I was making on the software previously before the update and I try to record something while overdubbing its not recording the midi , please help !
Check to see if record is armed
@@808ohenderson overdub was armed idk why its not recording , but if I make a new project it works
My X updated fine when i first installed it, then suddenly it just stopped working.And now it won't even run the installer for this update on windows 7 64x. I'm starting to regret getting the X and i'm seriously thinking about back to my 2KXL.
Is it also possible to route the outputs to the mixer in my daw by simply plugging the mpc into my computer via usb?
Hey tube digga will you be covering the 2.10 update in the master class session ? Im thinking of purchasing it .
Yes, I will be adding 2.10 content so even if you but it now, you’ll get it added for free. I haven’t been able to add any 2.10 stuff because of the non disclosure agreement I signed with Akai 👍
Can it load sounds from the s3000xl? Can it read the old akai discs like kontakt?
Do I have to re update to get the synth content to update? I already updated the firmware. I also downloaded the synth content. Just don't know what step to take next
It's a separate download on the downloads page. Gotta love Akai for not making that clear or at least having that as a DL on the MPC ONE page. And good luck - the servers are gacked now.
Unzip the files then you Need to place the synth folder on the root directory of either your:
SSD hard drive (if you have one!)
Or a SD card or usb drive then the new synths will just work!
Hello tubedigga! Wouldn't you like to have "loop start" in sample edit?
Hi, I suppose it could be beneficial when editing to audition it but I never think to myself it lacks that ability. I work extensively in program edit so I’m fine with it just being there. I much rather they implement proper, click free and smooth crossfade looping in drum and keygroup programs. That would be a much better area of looping to improve in my opinion.
@@TUBEDIGGA thks what is to you the best way to find a cool 4 bar loop on a long sample without having to readjust the end point when moving the start point
Thank you for a very in depth tutorial of the program features
Where can I get some good vocal samples?
I just found you and I am so happy I did, love your teaching style and thank you for sharing your knowledge on this instrument it’s so helpful 👍🏽
🙏👍💥🤜
Tubedigga any hint if they are going to update the looper? As in per pad direct loop recording from the looper. The mpc one has all the power on board to also become the ultimate live loopers dream.
I think one use for the note off trigger, is for e.g hammer up sounds on a linked pad. i.e one pad does the main body of the note, another linked pad does the hammer off sound when the note ends
or techno rumble kicks
Great video for a great update! Looking forward to put my hands on it. Thanks!!
Cheers. Great vid as always. When I try to download the synth content to my mac the file seems to download then just before it is ready to open it just starts to download from the start again. Any ideas?
Did you have to download and install the new air instruments?
Just got back to working on my MPC Live again after summer break. Installed 2.1 update and it all seems fine.... if i let it freeze.
If i just start up a new arrangment and start producing, it will freeze 1 or 2 times after about 3 to 10 minutes of use. And i mean freeze in the litterly sense. It will not respond, playback stops and the machine is dead until i force it off and start it up again. And after that it may work correctly or freeze again. Never had issues with the machine, it always worked great before.
What gives?
... as a note. I did a simpre reset. And as long as i let it keep crashing, it will eventually work. But it is annoying as **** if you got a quick idea, wich is kind of how i use the machine.
It could be a few different things which could be fixed, including something more serious like a hardware issue. You were right to do a reset but if that didn't work then I'd have to take a look if possible - see what projects you may be loading or other things that may be causing it, any peripherals that you may have attached like midi controllers or drives. I offer Zoom calls for lessons and tech support, my email address is in the description if you need direct help.
Im updated to 2.10 and I downloaded the plugins but they are not in standalone
hey man thanks for the useful content...your amazing. I see that you use the 809 plugin and the bank and so on ....may I ask how you did install them to show up in the instruments in mpc standalone I can´t make it to work. kind regards keep up the great work. greetings from Leipzig btw the s2400 videos are charming
I was in controller mode so they will show up on my hardware but they aren't available in standalone.
Great …thanks for your answer
🔝
I want a scratching plugin 👍👌🙏
Just grow your nails in the meantime
My mpc live saying I have to download the plugins file I don’t see it
Very good so professionally done
Hi Tubedigga. I have submitted an issue with it this release to the forum but have had no response. Could you confirm you have “chromatic” as a scale option when in midi or keys mode. Since my update, it doesn’t exist. Am I going mad?🙈
Yes chromatic and note mode are both till there from what I can see
When I’m in controller mode with my mpc, the buttons and pads are somehow reacting in a strange way. For example buttons is also triggering notes, some pads are triggering other pads. Does anybody know why? Is something set up the wrong way? Or is this just a bug?
I’m running MacOS Catalina, the latest driver, software and firmware for the mpc.
So what's up with the audio tracks now are there more than before? Can a USB microphone and interface be plugged in at the same time? I mean if this thing had more RAM for audio I mean it would be a complete studio really. I mean to the point where you wouldn't worry about running out of space for being able to do things. Either way I feel confused. It's some decisions I made I would have made different if this already had the USB audio. Does anybody know anything about the force if it'll be able to do this?
Thanks a lot for this video TUBEDIGGA ! I have a question....where is the BPM Detect ? I don't see it anymore in the Sample Edit menu :(
Edit:
Ok I found it ! There is a new arrow at the right of the trim screen ;)
But why you don’t have the legato Botten on the Porta / mod Page like I do? Thanx
I was working from a beta version, maybe somethings are slightly different
Thank you Akai for this fresh fire!
Brilliant, thanks a lot! Didn't even know the update is out and you now tell me all about it. ♥
