Yo, this new golden era ! Bolo the way you did this video is legendary. It will go down as one of the videos that inspired a generation, the soulful sample that you use from Splice the way you showed us how to chop samples using the new stem separation. I can see this is going to be, the beginning of a new wave of that true hip-hop. ❤#akai thank you
Bro common, new generation? by using old or already existing music from elsewhere. This is a little unfair, it encourages people to just copy other people's creations and make a few adjustments and think its yours. For its great creating instruments for Karaoke or covers. I prefer to make own real music.
For them to put this information out this early before NAMM and it’s not available to us yet makes me think NI has something big coming this year and AKAI wanted to get in front of them by getting the community buzzing now.
I tell people on a constant basis, how incredible Akai is as a company. If you ask them to do something, they generally do it if they can. The great part is, once you buy any of their instruments on their line… You are good for what seems like eternity. Because all of these updates generally come to every machine they made within the past seemingly 10+ years. So users of older machines aren’t left out. That’s pretty incredible for any company. Regardless, this is an incredible feature that I imagine so many people are going to use. I’m going to use it to suck drumbeats out of that I like and use them for my own projects. Very very cool. Thank you for the demo.
I think it’s genius putting them on same pad in layers……so you can mute things in and out to see what you want to take and leave behind before flattening it down to chop up.. On top of having it all in one pad, it also gives you separate audio files in your pool that you can put on adjacent pads to your liking …options
Let’s go. Wow. I’m so excited. This is exactly why I am so .in love with my MPC. AKAI has just kept making the MPC better and better. This is going to be world changing for me. I am even more happy that I got my MPC X SE than I already was. I am gonna be using this a lot!
i watched this when you 1st dropped it and now that it's finally here and I have it, I had some questions, went back and watched this again and I have way more insight and understanding lol..the way you break things down in a simplistic way, a lot of people can't do....I was thinking how do you have all your stems and chops and how to keep your them organized. I was thinking about assigning to different PAD BANKS, but as you said, they are on separate programs
At the point where you have to convert the individual stem to a programme. It would he nice if you could make it one programme that was stemmed.. so it maps all the chops and they are made from the 4 stem layers.
Oh....wow!....I'm an avid maschine user. Stem separation on MPCs will finally get me on board with akai products again. And the separation sounds so good too 💡👀
My MPC X has had it's hard cover on it collecting dust for the last two years! I think it's time I dust this bitch off and get back to work with the MPC X! I knew when I stepped away that some dope updates would drop that would have me excited to come back! Seems like it's time! I still been making music all the time in FL Studio though. Just haven't wanted to mess with the MPC for awhile.
Bolo since ur working with akai can you tell them please upgrade the sound converters and pre amps inside the mpcs and balanced outputs . We want quality and we don’t care how much it costs. As long as its not over $4k … i want a quality unit with an arm rest n wood and metal And good pads. . We want quality professional aimed products. 🚀🕺🔥 they need to look more at the older stuff and elevate the sound. 💯💯
If you don’t know how to mix and use correct sounds that don’t clash, better converters don’t mean a thing. It’s more than just the converters. I’ve had just about every MPC since 2002 and the converters on any of the newer machines are not bad at all. I’ve done test on it and made videos on it. Pick good sounds and samples and mix well and these machines will sound great, trust me. I haven’t had one top mixing engineer tell me there was anything wrong with my beats due to bad conversion
my parents are from Jamaica l was born in England to bolo da producer your demo is so interesting 🤔 with step by step guide 😮 and so easy to understand 😊 it shows you don't need big studio equipment 🎹🎻🎸🪕🎺🥁🎤🎧🎛️📼📺💽🔋🖲️💿💾📀🖥️💻God bless you and your work ❤️🙏
In Akai's video, they demonstrate why they put all four samples on one pad after steaming it out. This is done to easily manipulate the sample and select which stem to keep in that single sample pad.
I told everyone on your platform a few months ago in the comment section when you was talking about FL Studio 21.2 came out with Stems, then I said in the comment section they was just chillin and eating their popcorn Regards to bringing out their Stems, people thought I was trippin' but here it is...Im Not crazy...
Excellent demonstration. I'm just confused as to why you say the feature launches in February but the official MPC Stems page says it launches in March and makes no mention of pricing, though you're saying $9.99, which suggests that outside of stems, this update will be relatively minor.
How would you go about mixing the percussion that's in that drum loop separate from the bass drum and the kick? I guess I'm confused why the drums stem separation doesn't just take it a step further and separate all the drum samples. Would be dope if the bass drum, kick snare, percussion etc. was all separated as well for even further control! I'm OCD as a mother fucker!
This is cool for samplers. My gripe is making full songs and not being able to have everything separated. I use sequences to create full songs and I’d like them to be tracked out for mixing in Studio One. This is cool tho.
@@deirellbyrd6770 After sequencing as a full song? I know you can “explode tracks” on a single track. What I’m talking about is I’ve gotten all of my sequences as a song. When I export exploding the ENTIRE project the way I can in Maschine.
Yes! You can save the individual stems into separate program like I did in video, or use them in separate tracks,then explode tracks as you normally would
@@michaeltrenier You may already be doing this and I am not aware any person’s knowledge or skill level. If you have all of your sequences set up as parts of a song(verse,chorus, and so forth) you can use song mode to chain them together. Once you get song mode as you like it you can convert the whole song to a sequence, giving you a really long sequence. Then explode that whole sequence to stems. My understanding of the limitation is that any automation you may have had does not carry over in this method.
@@deirellbyrd6770 automation is no prob. Exploding the entire song however is a problem. It doesn’t give you the option. I’ve bounced countless songs at this point and it bounces the separate “groups” but not individual “sounds” if that makes sense. Instruments yes…but not individual sounds from groups. Maschine on the other hand it bounces in groups as individual sounds. Makes life easy to mix and master.
i don't have one of these (at least this model), but i'd love to dump one of my completed songs into this and separate it out into stems to see how they sound compared to when i tracked the audio out originally i.e. if it separates out my bassline from a completed song, how much of the sonic character will match the original bassline when it was played & tracked out originally? if i separated out a lead synth in a finished song, what would the texture & artifacting be like compared to the original tracked out audio recording?
The Bishop Bolo has shared another banger for his flock appreciate you my Gee hopefully they fix that work flow a bit more but it's cool. And it was much needed
until you actually see this on your MPC hardware I would count on this yet. I would expect major problems year1 but I am sure they will get it right in due time
I was doing this online and the quality was barely useable! Happy to see they locked a good algorithm for this tool. Most of the online tools I've used sound like trash with noticeable spectral phasing issues and aliasing.
This is fun for those who can't create their own thing, or maybe the lazy producer, I think some of us need to start copyrighting even our individual stems too. I mean it's fun because it used to be impossible to extract a single instrument from a stereo mix, but now you can, but you have to and make sing from another's song. Almost no more new tracks again. I will prefer to see how they did the songs I really and then, find ways to get that flavour, and making my own stuffs, yes it might not be as quick as using someone else's work, but it's fulfilling when you create something yourself or with others. I mean almost any sound you hear from a drum you can find a similar sample. Akai needs to improve the sequencer, so we can mute even individual drum elements anytime. And also, ability to locate any section of the measures, the older groovebox could press shift and fast forward, and play will start from the last bar and begin again, that way you add extra things to create you little variations, fills to the last bar, that is not possible in the Akai sequencer, because they care about sequencing creation whatever you want. No groove quantize, only swing, these people are not musicians at Akai. Well, let me maybe I can create my own product a standalone that almost everyone will stop using the laptop from the music creation process.
Will you please tell them that we need to have vst3 capability on this platform. There are a great many native instrument plugins that I cannot use because they are vst3
🔥🔥🔥 work flow will be faster and the creativity of using samples thats hard to get just a certain sound solo will be crazy. I can go back to old songs and pull a sound I really only wanted and make the track I really wanted to make!!
Did anyone notice that in Akai's email - MPC Stems: a new era in sampling - that the red MPC shown in the email is NOT an MPC-ONE? The MPC-ONE doesn't have buttons under the screen like that and they're not the buttons on the MPC-Live II either or the ones on the MPC-X. Hmm... and Winter NAMM is close too...
How does it compare to FL Studio? Is it slower? What if you try to do an entire song like if you want to remix two songs? How long does that take? Is there quality loss?
This will be released in Early February for $9.99! Controller mode will be first then standalone coming shortly after! Basically the same way Akai released Flex Beat
Only have to pay once, right?
Dint you mean $99.99???
Dope video bro !!!
Will We Have To Pay For It Twice..!?!🤔🤷🏾♂️🤔🤷🏾♂️
We have to pay for the update to be able to separate stems?
When that stem separator come out we need at least 1 instrumental album from every producer. No more excuses. 🙏🏾
Agreed. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I'm definitely with that. I'm already working on one with the software I use.
Producers literally create the stems, why wouldn't they already have an instrumental available if they wanted to release it? Get smarter

Damn man. Making beats has become so easy compared to even just 15 years ago. Crazy feature.
This really gone change the work flow for us MPC gang members 😂 🫡
Yes it is!
Now Akai MPC is back!!!!! This software and these latest MPCs controllers and stand alone units are what I've been waiting for!
@5:49 if you deselect Assign to Pad you probably won't have to clear the pad after stem separation? Just a thought.
Nope… not in this particular version. Maybe by time of public release

You were right!
Akai doing what customers want. Native Instruments needs to learn from them!
I can't tell from the audio on my phone, do the separated stems have artifacts like they do with stem separation plugins?
No matter what stem program you use, it depends on how complex the instrumentation is and the quality of the original sample/ Loop
That's very cool that you can chop the sample and then Akai can split the stems so you you have the sample by slice and then by stem.
That is a dope feature!
Can I do this on the MPC Black?
I've been doing this manually in Propellerhead's REASON with the "BV512" - This is wild!
Are these features available on the MPC One Plus?
Yes, they will be available because this will be coming out in controller mode.

We’ve come a long way since cavemen banging bones on a rock.
Still same colour though!!!

This is fun for those who can't create their own thing, or maybe the lazy producer, I think some of us need to start copyrighting even our individual stems too.
I mean it's fun because it used to be impossible to extract a single instrument from a stereo mix, but now you can, but you have to and make sing from another's song.

I mean almost any sound you hear from a drum you can find a similar sample.
Akai needs to improve the sequencer, so we can mute even individual drum elements anytime.
And also, ability to locate any section of the measures, the older groovebox could press shift and fast forward, and play will start from the last bar and begin again, that way you add extra things to create you little variations, fills to the last bar, that is not possible in the Akai sequencer, because they care about sequencing creation whatever you want.
No groove quantize, only swing, these people are not musicians at Akai.

It sounds really good and it doesn’t take that long.
Same top notch quality you get off the mpc, The quality i feel will be better then fl studio

I could see them putting all the stems on one pad so it doesn't overwrite samples you may have assigned to other pads already.
Damn, that's some fine stem separation 😲
Yes it is!
