Another cool feature that might get overlooked. In the software version, you can edit and create your own effect envelopes using the grid editor. Then you can save them and import them into the standalone plugin. Pretty amazing plugin! I’m lovin it
I love that you seem like a genuinely nice guy, having a great time. Can't beat that sir, thank you!! Also thank u for clearing up my confusion about flex beat
Hi Melo. Thanks for the time you spend making such cool videos! But actually we all have a question that concerns us all. How the hell do you make such awesome sample packs? 😁 We need a "How to make a sample pack in Melo style"! Greetings from Switzerland!
That's a great set up with the desk and having the pull out drawer for the record player. Thanks for all your videos. I really need to spend much more time with my MPC Live 2 to get better at beat making.
You can connect a midi controller like the midi fighter twister or mpd218(pad controller) and have flex beat send though those pads on the controller as each fx instead on the screen...someone in my Facebook group discovered this...
Go to CHANNEL MIXER, choose submix 1 and place the Flex beat in Insert 1. Route the Drum Program output to submix 1. Connect your midi controller and go to MIDI CONTROL / MIDI LEARN. Choose SOurce/ Submix 1 and then Target / Pad Hold 1-16. The mapping is not global. It will only be saved in the project
Flex beat is SO DOPE. It’s really helpful for me cause I am learning how to do more deep house and it really helps with creating interesting variations I don’t have the skill set to make myself yet.
I just bought it and don’t see how to get it onto my standalone. Is the standalone version a separate purchase?! It’s not showing up in my inmusic account. Ugh
So I have a question, would a combo of flex beat and flavour pro be very similar sounding too the sp404? I'm kinda new to the MPC and want that mangled sound - I just have enough learning as is with the MPC :D although in future I will surely get a sp404 as well
OK.....is flex beat "player" a lite version or is it a full version on mpc? i hope it isn't the full version . cause if it is then i just wasted my money on buying it from the website
Thanks for this little overview of Flexbeat. Seems interesting. I've made upgrade with new FX, seems to be real fun too. Take Care. And I'v got a little question, when you find a cool effect in flex beat on one of your track, can we record it ? or is it only for live performance. Thanks for your answer, if you've got a little time to write it. unless you'll talk about it in a next vid. :^)
I’ve had issues with mine not telling me there’s an update, even after clicking on Check For Updates. I logged into the Akai website and went to downloads and got the update manually.
Malo, engaging video as always! Quick question, I have the Key 61 and have been thinking about an MPC One or Live 2 for a more portable option. I’m leaning towards the One because the additional buttons seem like they make the workflow much quicker. You mentioned this in one of your other videos yet you still seem to primarily use the Live 2. Any reason for this?
Grate question, if you already have a Keys 61 and you want to be completely portable I would lean towards the MPC LIVE 2 due to the battery which makes it 100% portable without having to be plugged into the outlet. Battery is really good and also been able to have the flexibility with the six outputs makes me choose the LIVE over the ONE any day. Now, if you don’t mind being plugged into an outlet and don’t need the extra outputs, I would recommend the ONE+ since it is a lot cheaper and the extra buttons are a plus but don’t think they ate a deal breaker not having them
Not going to lie I prefer when artist create the flips this is ok and all but it’s like another ai doing it for you. I remember when I heard the first fake scratch on a keyboard it was embarrassing to use lol coming from a (turntablist) but I get it. Myself I try to stay clear of ai or things that do the “style” things for you. Not a hater I just am sitting back watching all the stuff in arts just being done for people in the push of a button an wonder when will we literally have nothing humanized and creative left. Again not hating it’s a cool tool but I’d prefer to create the parts myself
dunno. these type of effects always sound useless to me. yeah, sometimes but rarely sometimes you can get something out of it, but usually is just bleh. maybe if applied only to drums and not the entire track, yeah maybe. dunno. i always feel it needs additional hands on editing, like being really precise when and how to apply it… dunno, maybe its just me.
Good news, Jesus Christ died for our sins and payed a sin debt that we can never pay ourselves. Accept the free gift of salvation and ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and save you.
Amen and he also inspired Akai to create the mpc live 2 for hiphop and music lovers. Then gave us flex beat to streamline freakin out your music compositions 🙏🏿
Idk wth they didn't release this straight to standalone to begin with. Its not very practical for desktop. Idk about Air and the way the approach business is a bit outlandish. 🤷 I have to buy it twice if I want on pc and standalone?! Come on!
I can feel that you really enjoy what you're doing. Great video!

Oh nice. That’s a good call
Bro yo channel a whole vibe and learning experience keep going
This means a lot. Thank you so much for the support 🫡🙏
He knew straight from the start his chops were crazy 🎶🎶
The 1176 tells all and more as we expected - the amplification and the compensating. So many years I was in a trouble.
I love that you seem like a genuinely nice guy, having a great time. Can't beat that sir, thank you!!

Greetings from Switzerland!
I like ur vid cuz ur really enthusiasm about ur stuff . Pleasure to hear, pleasure to watch.
That's a great set up with the desk and having the pull out drawer for the record player. Thanks for all your videos. I really need to spend much more time with my MPC Live 2 to get better at beat making.
Now can you record these effects in your performance?
need this answered asap lol🙏🏽
Yes.
Yup you can record automation with Flex Beat. Pretty dope
I know you can on a track, but it doesn’t look like you can on submixes or the main outputs
On the master channel? No. On Sub Channel? No.
Where can I find that hat/tshirt?
So glad you done this!
I just want to listen to the record you sampled! Thanks for the videos!
That tee and cap! 🔥
You can connect a midi controller like the midi fighter twister or mpd218(pad controller) and have flex beat send though those pads on the controller as each fx instead on the screen...someone in my Facebook group discovered this...

Choose SOurce/ Submix 1 and then Target / Pad Hold 1-16. The mapping is not global. It will only be saved in the project
To save the mapping you can save as template on an empty project...so you don't have to do them over everytime
Flex beat is SO DOPE. It’s really helpful for me cause I am learning how to do more deep house and it really helps with creating interesting variations I don’t have the skill set to make myself yet.
One thing I like to do is put Flex Beat on the kicks or snares or hi hats individually.
Nice video and dope beat man!💪
Yo! You just open Pandora's Box. Flex Beat is dope. Can't wait to use it.
Malo the truth!
Thanks for the video Malo!
What's the furniture you show on 0:53 ?
amzn.to/3u1X8KF this is a really cool side desk that I am using check it in the link i just sent you.
Interesting. I’ve used the Flex FX where you slide your finger around the screen before but not this insert. I will give it a go
I think that’s the XY effect. This is slightly different
Dope video as always Malo….where can I get the sample flip hat from?
How do I download it Stan along
How can I get this to work on my MPC Touch?
Malo what sample is that? I love it
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just bought it and don’t see how to get it onto my standalone. Is the standalone version a separate purchase?! It’s not showing up in my inmusic account. Ugh
What’s the news on the course your putting together?
So I have a question, would a combo of flex beat and flavour pro be very similar sounding too the sp404? I'm kinda new to the MPC and want that mangled sound - I just have enough learning as is with the MPC :D although in future I will surely get a sp404 as well
Did you find out if you can use the pads to trigger the effects? And how do you record the performance? Thanks.
You got a video on the best way to take the bass out of a sample , without making the sample sound crappy ?
OK.....is flex beat "player" a lite version or is it a full version on mpc? i hope it isn't the full version . cause if it is then i just wasted my money on buying it from the website
Great video as always! Can you ‘burn’ a flex performance into your loop or is it strictly for live performance?
Can the MPC stretch point in the sample like Ableton? If not I’m gonna stick to Ableton 🤷🏾♂️
yes, Ableton is miles ahead of the MPC when it comes to warping and stretching 🫡 Ableton is the way to go
@@malobeats yea until they can master warping I’m gonna stick with Ableton 💪🏽
Now time for Ether and Sprite to become standalone! Great video as always sir!
Thank you so much for dropping in. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
How do I download it standalone
It work on the software but as soon I unplugged it the flex beat software don’t show up in the mpc Key 37
Really need help with this

How do you download it for standalone
For me, after updating my Live II, it showed up in the download plugin section of the MPC hours after purchasing from my PC
I’ve had issues with mine not telling me there’s an update, even after clicking on Check For Updates. I logged into the Akai website and went to downloads and got the update manually.
That plug in looks ridiculous

@@malobeats Thanks Malo, And appreciate the awesome videos. You and Marlow are two of my favorite MPC beat makers.
@@tylerdurden9765 hey man, thank you so much for the love and I’m extremely humbled putting me with someone like Marlow, 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Much love to you 🫡
