How do we contact the guy teaching the Mpc. I would love to pay for some lessons from him. He’s explained this better than any UA-camr and I need to pay for some lessons from him
@@purposeinabundance6063Mpc Bible is the one you need, it’s got everything covered
@@9londoncalling where do I get the bible or from?
@purposeinabundance6063 ditto! Does anyone have his UA-cam link or website? What's his full name? John is such a common name, lol.
I have watched a bunch of mpc tutorials because i'm looking to get one myself. This is the first video that made me understand the workflow directly. Coming from daw based thinking. Much appreciated guys!
I started FL studio in 2004..
It always felt like work to me. My girlfriend bought me an MPC for my birthday in August of 2023 and it changed everything I knew about making music. I've made so much music on the MPC and it just flows outta me. I appreciate you so much for being here for all of us noobs. Your channel is the #1 I always come back to for anything MPC.
Nice. 👍🏾 anyone know how to export a project out. ?
Same here 😅😅 i am working 8 Hours on PC…
This video is totally insane. Been wokring on MPC One+ for over a month and you made me discover so much. And you guys have great vibes! Love it
Finally someone that goes into the depth of working the MPC.... Great job
Just got my MPC One+ and this video is the best I have found at showing how to really use this thing!
The best of this video is that matching color scheme of the dude on the MPC hair, headphones & shirt.
Just bought an MPC one and your man john has taught me so much in 40 minutes that several other creators haven't , I'd go as far as say that others have put me off but this g made me want to pick it up immediately, thanks for the video 🙏
Ok - yeah the red is nice… But other than that and WI-FI/Bluetooth - which could have been accomplished for $20 with a USB hub / WiFi’s module. 16gb storage is a joke… this and all MPCs ought to have 256gb minimum built it. The “new processor” is a straight up lie. It is the same processor across then entire line right now… I mean the $699 price point really ought to be like $499. AKAI really needs to look at the new PUSH 3 and think about what they should / could do better. In short - this will not be taking my money.
They giving upgrades from 2005. 16 gigs of hard drive space? what is that?
Can I put a live drummer recorded wave into this machine for playback?
My man just helped me make my decision. Great video for beginners and in general
Same brother
Great video, concise, informative, fluid, thanks a million!!
This guy explains it so simple. The best.
Just ordered one in Gold and new to MPC so really appreciate this tutorial, I learn better when I can see and try along...Thanks
Thank you for this discussion. just ordered this, the Audient id24 and the Arteria mk3 49... Krazzy work
YALL ACTUALLY MADE THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE
Great introduction to the MPC One Plus!!
THIS was the joint I needed as a beginner, thanks!
Holy dang I think I need one after I move. I'm really impressed with how intuitive the interface is, that's really awesome. Also it's red.
Get the older one save yourself a few hundred bucks its the same thing as this without bluetooth lol
So glad I found this video. I’m just getting into the DAWless situation by me and I really did need this information right here.
And he only skimmed the surface of what and how it can work - it’s so well engineered 🐝🐝🐝
Absolutely brilliant
My man definitely did a good job in this video of showing you how to work it. I’m definitely going to buy me one but Akai, please upgrade the ram. None of your machines should have less than eight gigs of RAM.💯🤟🏽
Oof yeah, they need to shove like 16GiB of RAM at least.
Eh I’ve noticed you don’t need nearly as much when you’re not on a pc
So great man! Excellent tutorial
I REALLY needed this!👍🏼
Congrats fam for working with Sweetwater
Mad chem fellas, looking forward to an additional vid / mini series, I think we all would have too much fun with that! ...hit it'
Excellent teaching 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
MAN... ITS THE SAME MPC ONE AS THE OLD ONE ... SHAME
Excellent course on the One+ ty
Been doing market research for over a month now and I think I’m ready to buy
Great introduction!!
Akai better start listening
definitely worth having.
very well done
This is bad…just bad…I love Sweetwater but c’mon AKAI! At least kind of hide the money grab play.
money grab play what does that mean?
@@craiglacour8887 A year ago…it was tons of hype around Akai releasing a “new” MPC…and all we get is a MPC One with a new color scheme and built in WiFi. We wanted software updates to include a newer model MPC with faster Ram…just to name a few items on our wish list.
So how do we get this man to just teach us all like if we are 10 years old?
What we want is MPC 3.0.
Great tutorial
I cannot understand why people are complaining. They took the MPC One which is already a great machine and made it better for $699. What's to complain about? People were paying $800 for the 1st edition MPC one.
Exactly. People just like to moan, must be.
Akai is leaving the door wide open for Abelton and Native Instruments imho. Just with the Push3 having MPE alone is enough to "push" customers to Ableton. If NI drops the right standalone at this moment in time, with Akai disappointing its customers with bugs at launch and its focus on color way roll outs, it could gain a huge share of the market! Imagine an NI Roger Linn tribute edition harnessing modern technology like workflow, MPE, and yes superior sound out of the box, that would reset the bar as far as professional stand alone hardware! This is about culture step up or step off! The ball is in your court and changing the color of the ball ain't going to make it bounce any better.
I'm still waiting for AKAI to fix a bug on the Force (key grouped sample unwanted modulation) before I even think about facelifts...
The Push is a ripoff. Costs over 2000 bucks and doesn’t even include the full version of the DAW like really??
@@JEFFMAN90 The push had promise three months ago, not so much now. Too many of these devices are buggy upon release which needs to change.
this was super helpful - i think i missed it but is it possible to have the ableton clip launch section at the top (where you can use the touchscreen) and the bottom pads controlling the internal drum sounds? Would be great to know if so
Thank You, great video o./
Thanks for showing us the mpc workflow in under 10 minutes
20:01
@sweetwater has a good point.
Would it make a change to the sequence if overdub rec, if let’s say I want to mute pad just partially lets say 1,3 only?
Or is it only a life performance feature?
Sorry have no mpc at the moment to check it for myself, but curious to know the answer
Bro asking all the right questions
Just wish they'd have upped the RAM a little. Otherwise they're moving in the right direction. I sold my One last year to fund Octatrack, but might consider getting this someday. We'll see if they beef up any other devices.
At last. This looks like a great instrument. Never before has a product made such an impression on me. Revolution! Turn. Starting from the shape, unprecedented solutions, to efficiency and this color. You know, red cars are the fastest. It's the same with production - on red beat machines production is much faster. I think this is a milestone in the music world, comparable to the discovery of the steam engine 300 years ago.
😂
Well, good luck with your fire engine red beat machine!
The color is revolutionary? ok sir.
My beats don't sound as "beaty" on my black Mpc One. Hopefully the red turns my beats into fire like the color when I drop another 800 on this new MPC. I had to sell one of my kids for the new X. I have a few more kids I can sell for this one!
😂😂
Just unboxing the ONE tomorrow with my studio guy,,the mpc to go with my Harp playing,,thank you for this video as the others were offputting and yours makes me want to get into it! thanks guys 🤵♀TuxedoDeb
So... an MPC One but in red
Lol basically
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi was greatly needed it's a upgrade
Akai need to get their products working properly before they bring out more products, I bought a mpc live 2 last week and it doesn't work in controller mode, it's a terrible first time experience 😒
LoL... another shiny box! Too bad Akai won't overhaul the shameful software. I have the X and bought it for the standalone capability
👊🧡👍
@@shadezondabeat6121I have the X for standalone capability... the software sucks for controller mode agreed! 👊🤬👍
It’s 2023. How do these not come with at least a 256gig ssd. They give us 16 gigs up from 4. Gee, thanks for the 5 bucks.
Agreed, but in all likelihood they were trying to keep the product in the same box as the original and hence the PCB's had to stay within certain constraints and guessing they couldn't add more address lines on the PCB's without bumping up the PCB size... which then wouldn't have fit. Soooooo.... while I too would have loved it I think they did what they could.
Just get the live 2 it has a place for a hard drive
i asked for this years ago but the live mk3 will have the led readout under the q links. mark my words
I HAVE THE MPC ONE, THIS MPC ONE + ANT NOTHING DIFFRENT APART FROM THE WI-FI & THE RED FACE THAT YOU CAN GET ANYWAY, IT'S NICE OF AKAI TO BRING OUT THE MPC ONE +, AND IM NOT GOING TO LIE WHEN I HEARD IT WAS COMING OUT I WAS LIKE OOOOOOW MAN, IM GOING TO HAVE TO GET THIS ONE, BUUUUUUUUT SEEING THIS MPC ONE + HAS GOT ME SMILING CAUSE MY AKAI MPC ONE DOES THE SAME THING, FEEEEEEEEWWWWWWEEEE WIPING THE SWEAT OF MY HEAD, I DON'T NEED THIS I'LL LET THE NEW GENERATION BUY THIS AKAI MPC ONE +, BUT THUMBS UP TO AKAI MPC ONE +.
If you have a functioning MPC One, I don’t see why this is even a consideration.
Sick
Yo, this is stellar. I got my Retro One, but I want one of these, too!!!
Just for the color?
Don’t waste your money
...again what makes this thing so much more improved than the classic MPC's besides the color red & storage space; all this is pretty much moot these days with the advent of ZuluSCSI thanx dude(s)
I decided to one day get an MpC because it has a step sequencer just like how you use it in Fl Studio. And you can arrange your beats just like in Fl Studio where you make all your stuff on one pattern and then make multiple copies of the one pattern. And do a process of elimination in each pattern until you come up with a full song. It's easy to use Mpc One even tho I didn't buy one yet. To me, it's just a DAW in a box that,
I feel like you knew when filming this it was going to be bad. Virtually nothing new that really has an impact other than WIFI.
The sounds are not a thing I think anyone asked for because we live in a sample-based music era and that was the least of the worries.
I wanna like MPC, I really do, but what I am hearing from MPC owners and fans is that it looks like something other than care for the people that use Akai with the last few releases. I have an MPC one and enjoy it, didn't even know that Akai was working on a new one, but what is shown here is not enough to make me purchase it.
Suggestions: 1 8 audio outs, 2 the ability to drag an effect from a place in the order to another, 3 the ability to drag and drop from the computer directly into the unit without having to use the card, 4 proper meters maybe on master bus so we can eq properly
honestly this is probably just to sell to the people who don't own one. If you have the mpc one which only came out 2 or 3 years ago, you probably don't need a new one yet
@@J-Hz Remember some folks complain but never intended on purchasing. This is for potential new owners I don't think it is for you if you already own one. Save the extra money you have and open a savings account for your little one.
@@J-Hz Yeah, but there's this sickness called GAS that makes gear lovers, especially in first world countries, want new thing even when they already have more than enough.
@@J-Hz the way they presented this looks like for the people who dont own one. Some people even expecting a battery and speaker. duh they already have that in the live 2. Why they dont grab that. maybe they want the mpc one price but give them all the mpc live and x features.
I hear you on being able to reorganize effects, that would be so helpful. I'd like control points on the automation too for more accuracy. Visual EQ would be nice too.
Can you tell me if the drum and the kick in this machine can be tuned so it sounds like acoustic drums
well explained that man, proper in depth look at this item, well done and at first i thought it was eminem
Hello all. Thank you for that excellent video! Detailed and precise information. You made it look like so much fun, wow! Much appreciated. Can you do one for the Akai MPK Mini Plus? I know nothing about any of this but want to learn. Is the MPC Key 37 or the MPC One+ too much for a beginner? Please advise. Rock rock on!!!
This tutorial is remarkably precise
D'Will what is VST quality?
They got Sweetwater doing doing their promotion now lol
What I want to know is: is Akai trying to get into the faceplate/skins game?
I’m hoping Live 3 is not a letdown as well…
Live 3 will be yellow with violet hearts on pads and pink bears on speaker
@@nieprawdopodobniebystry2158 LOL. Imagine collectors 20 years from now looking for those particular MPCs because of its "grizzly" sound and "loveable" pads.

shoulda went with a burnt orange and blue metalic flake paint job.. that red ain't hittin on nothin
That WiF/Bluetooth update is HUGE. It makes every other feature more accessible. Currently for my retro ed MPC ONE I have to connect via Ethernet directly from my ISP modem. It’s easy to connect externals to the USB and the SD, but at some point with firmware updates and plugins, you gotta connect to the internet.
I’ve spent so much on gear that gets a big update within months of buying.
I bought my Retro Ed ONE directly from AKAI PROFESSIONAL …. I wonder if they’d let me trade up for this + model? I can dream can’t I? Lol.
I’m keeping my retro one… it’s the same thing lol
there are lots of cheap and easy solutions to convert RJ45/ethernet to wifi, including wall sockets and usb powered dongles.
I’m a veteran musician, but a rookie to the MPC hardware, so any info ‘anyone can give me on such things is much appreciated.
It's not even on the official Akai pro website yet.
😂😂😂 What's up!
6:27 Listen up Folks.
You can make songs 3 different ways with MPC.
1. You can make your sequence the entire song length. Say if you need 80 bars. Then go in to delete the midi date per section.
2. Build Sequences per section of the song. Intro Verse Chorus Outro
3. You can Wav out each midi track to cut and arrange your Wav Exports
Ok, just one question. Is this video supposed to be out now? I've just looked on Akai's website and there's nothing about the MPC ONE+. Also nowhere on UA-cam, at least not since 20 seconds ago. Hmm.
This dude ain’t no Andy Mac.
Which is great. Because Andy is lame af
Good.
Will the new red color make our beats slap Harder? Asking for a friend.
🔥👊🤣👍🔥
Hope u can do more than 8tracks
No wonder John is the Product Specialist for Akai he's a great teacher.
The mpc 1000 was the last of the goat mpc’s that actually worked the way they should
Ok OG
Nah needed to install JJOS
I tried connecting my MPC One Plus to my Bluetooth Speaker to the headphone Jack with my stereo mini Auxiliary cable & it didn’t work but yet it works on the regular black MPC One which doesn’t have Bluetooth or WiFi.
If you have successfully connected a Bluetooth speaker to your MPC Plus can you please…let me know exactly how you did it?
Can I transfer sound over Bluetooth??
Example: from my phone to the mpc.
Is there a web browser ?
Example: browse internet for sounds .

@@Elephantitusofthenuts i've got live2, so i'm looking for something new, something better.
MPC One is great, but people expect progress, something that will make them not have to look for a long time, but something modern in a standalone version. People do not want cosmetic changes but new quality

thanks!
Does it do linear sequencing like DAW and old school Roland Fantom X linear sequencing?
Hey, thanks for your interest! The short answer is yes, you’re able to do linear sequencing on the current generation of MPC’s. However, the workflow is quite unique and different from what you’ll find on most DAWs. I would describe it as a hybrid between linear and pattern-based sequencing. I’ve owned an MPC One for several years, and it definitely took some getting used to, but it’s a really powerful composition and production tool! My typical approach is to start with a series of patterns for each section of a composition, then use the Song feature to turn those patterns into one long sequence for further overdubs/edits.
Hope this helps a bit - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

when I go into track mute it just shows track one . on the bottom right it shows time division TC And solo any idead why mine is different?
I'm glad I didn't buy a ONE when the price went up to $799. I'd be hot 🤬
I was hoping they added standard size pads though.
Good Stuff! But I have a question that was not mentioned is when you are on song mode playing sequences can they be mapped via midi with external midi controller to switch between them?
Hi, Fernando! Thanks for your interest. That’s a great question, actually - I own an MPC One myself and I haven’t tried mapping the sequences in Song Mode to an external controller. Reviewing Akai’s documentation, though, it looks like the answer is no. The MIDI Learn feature can be used for mixer parameters, pad parameters for drum or clip programs, program parameters, or insert effects parameters. Depending on what you’re trying to do, you might be able to use clip programs instead of Song Mode to achieve similar results. Clip programs work similarly to Live Sets in Ableton Live and can be used to switch between multiple parts of a musical composition.
I hope this helps a bit - feel free to contact me directly with further questions, and thanks again!

@@sweetwater Thank you for answer that’s a shame that MPC doesn’t allow to map sequences by midi controller which obligates you to press them on the screen or build them on the sequencer and them in linear mode… 😔 I tried to sent you a email but for reason says invalid email 🙄! Anyway you say that instead mapping the scenes in song mode you can map clips. So a clip can be a sequence of several instruments and can be understood like intro, verse, chorus etc? And if so when you trigger the clip he will schedule to start till previous end and so on or he change immediately? I want to use a midi foot controller because I play guitar so my hands are not free! Thank you 🙏
@@fernandodias112 Hi Fernando, thanks for the reply. Clip programs on the MPC allow you to work with loops, separated into mute groups, which can be triggered from the MPC’s pads or from an external controller. Typically, they’ll be divided into four columns of four clips each across the 16 pads of the MPC. For example, you could have a column for drums, one for bass, one for keys, and one for rhythm guitar, separated into rows for verse 1, chorus, verse 2, and bridge. Like I said, the workflow is similar to the Session View in Ableton Live - not sure if you are familiar with that.
I did some more digging through Akai’s documentation and user forums, and I also checked my personal MPC when I got home from work yesterday to see if I could assign a MIDI control to change the sequence in Song Mode. I didn’t have any luck, although it does look like some users have been able to customize the MIDI Learn file - if you’re handy with coding, that might be a workaround, but it’s not officially endorsed by Akai.
I hope this helps a bit - sorry you had trouble with the email. Feel free to try again - it’s caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com. Thanks again!

@@sweetwaterthis product is a dud...
Can you update now over wifi that's a big plus for me
Alright cool.
MPC One was my first MPC. It's.... Pretty alright, though, "intuitive" would not be a word i would use to describe it. I think it tries to do too much instead of excelling at a few things.
The pads are great for finger drumming.
It's like stuffing a child with a lot of candy to make them happy. Meanwhile, it's illogical ordered and structured. Too many workarounds and cumbersomes.
mpcs are instruments on its own, they had kinda similar workflow from day one. had to took lessons for my mpc 1000 cause i was getting nowhere, and it never happened before. once you get the file management system and the progam/tracks, its a very powerfull instrument. i cannot think of any other machine in any price range that has the capability of the newer mpcs. but yeah, you need to spend some time, its not intuitive, for shure.
does mpc one have the same features
I'd love one in all black or white.
Who is the product specialist? How can I find more tutorials from John at M music?
MAN WHY DO THE KEEP DROPN NEW BOARDS WITH NO UPDATES, JUST COLOR CHANGES 🤣. I DON'T GET IT! ALL OF THE INTERFACES AND SOUND ARE THE SAME.
I bought saturday the MPC Keys 37
Akai should make Epic and creative Mpe Controllers..ITS time now
What happened to Andy Mac?
He toxic on this side of the lake currently so he on time out
Ea Ski ran him off.
He's in hiding
No time to promote mpc one because he just bought PUSH 3 and no one has the strength to tear him away from this machine
@@Kmosleymusic🔥👊🤣👍🔥
Ok i have to ask. Is it worth it to jump from fl studio to this beauty???
It's a totally different flow to music making... Use both! I use Akai force and a few other hardware devices to kick off ideas.. I then finish em off in Bitwig.
Nope. Its cheaply made junk from InMusic. This isn't the real Japanese Akai from the 90s. Want a real MPC get one from the 90s otherwise its a waste of money.
how many years do i have to wait until i can get the 5000$ dollar collection of non AIR or akai VST?

Hey, billyjbeats69! You can press the Home and then save buttons to get to this window where you would normally save your project. One of the options on this screen is the ‘mixdown’ option which lets you mixdown and export the project.

Soowoop
Just get the OG MPC One, same thing basically.
Crips don't want it. 😂😂
Bro does his hi hats jus like me🤣🤣🤣
I get why Akai are trying to sell Fabric XL and all the other packs, but it's kinda weird. Sure they want to keep tapping you for money, but the MPC is a sampler. So you can just do the work and sample everything you need.
And the Fabric XL stuff is all set up to catch your ear with each sound being loaded with effects. Which gives you work. You have to take all that junk off to make the sounds useable in a mix.
So you may as well sample and get the sound right from the beginning.
If you sample you don't need better specs than the first gen MPC Live/X/One. Plenty capable. It's only the Fabric XL stuff that bogs down that hardware. Bogs it down with junk you don't need.
Boils down to your mondset. If you understand the MPC as a sampler which you have to fill up with your own conent to make your own music, and you are willing to put time and effort in, you are golden. If you think it is what Akai are now pushing in terms of all the extras they want to sell you, then you may be disappointed. The magic beans ain't growing into anything special.
Nobody is “tapping” you for anything. This childlike logic is getting old. You can get a MPC and do with it as you choose. The choice is yours. In case you’re not perceptive enough to pick it up, MPCs are more than samplers. They sequence, control, and allow to compose.
@@matthewgaines10 Way to miss the point and be arguiing with yourself bro.
Does Akai understand we can buy colorways third party?
Still no battery?
Hey yall, So my brother is a MPC2000 producer str8 out the mid 90's. Ive written and recorded countless tracks to beats he made on his original Mpc over my lifetime. So the Mpc was always there with me. But now i produce myself, so this is the very first time ive seeing the Mpc workflow. And no wonder he made such dope beats and i struggle to sequence and complete tracks using linear daws.
Please tell me Why oh WHY is the midi controller pads like Mpd and MPC Beats software it comes with NOWHERE NEAR as intuitive or as easy and fun as this beautiful process i see on this video? I was excited to use the Mpd211 and MPC beats, when my brother bought it for me as a B-day gift, but in no time i gave up cuz its a total mess! Even as a plugin to a DAW its confusing and essentially unusable. I wont use the term workflow when describing them, because i find neither work, nor flow is achievable. So my MPD most often sits on a shelf as a cheap novelty item. Pads that i cant even custom program sounds to. Ive tried many many times and fail cursing every time. I'd rather learn to code and build my own software than navigate MPC Beats along with MPD Editor. MPD Editor?? Just why??
Why cant MPC Beats be a software version of the MPC? We need an affordable Akai software OF Mpc, BY Akai Mpc to pair with the affordable Akai midi controller pads. Dont just phone it in guys! I believe in you Akai! Keep up the good work, cuz this MPC One+ console is dope!
~Josh R.
P.S. Apologies if i missed a release or remake, i gave up on MPC Beats a not long after its release.
