- Playing around with a forgotten track draft.
Update: it got released - Stream / Download: fanlink.to/Out...
Used only Ableton and an AKAI APC Key 25 as a controller. Too much piano play I know, I got carried away :)

![[Eng Sub] AKAI PRO APC KEY 25 midi controller](/img/n.gif)
Came for an example on how to use the Akai and discovered this gem. Love this, keep up with the good work!
Thank you Noemi, I really appreciate it! 🤗
I came for a review...did not expect to start bopping my head, haha. i need this track!! I might just buy the Akai 25 after seeing what's possible.
Thank you Weslie, I really appreciate your feedback and I'm very glad you like to track and everything :)
You have nice songs on spotify! Greets from Germany!
Thank you, greetings from Transylvania :)
It's sad to see stupid 3 note Midi covers get million views where this gem gets 3k. Never give up! I'm following you.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support, I really appreciate it.
@@AlinDimitriuI love to speak the truths indeed! I want to buy this little beast, is there any way to assign a key for "Pitch" like the MPK Mini has? This answer will be my decision to choose one of em. Thanks!
@@kentakuruishere9858 I'm not really sure what are you referring with "key for pitch", but I am guessing you're talking about the joystick on the MPK Mini?
The APC Keys doesn't have a joystick, but even in one of my videos for this controller I've assigned the pitch of one instrument to one know.
Bottom line is that you can assign anything to anything with Ableton, but I would recommend APC Keys in the case you need it also for launching clips as it doesn't have drum pads. This is just a minimalistic version of the APC 40.
Awesome mate. I've ordered this model even though they've just released a MK2 but this clearly is more than capable and cheaper.
Like Weslie Porter. I came for the Akai and stayed for the song. Like the warm, soothing feel of the track. I subscribed. Keep it up.
Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed it!
Oh My God! Bro ! This work is so amazing! 🤤
Thank you so much
Very dope!!! Love the beat repeat effect you use..lovely track!
Thank you Jason!
Great Job ! Chill Vibes 🍃
Thank you!
nice i think i am going to go for that
This is so cool
Thank you Istvan
Absolute beautiful composition!
Well done and that song, its in my head all day,, someone save me..... subscribed

Subbed this is awesome, I’m just starting my production journey after DJing for decades would love to see more tutorials on how to realise this level of brilliance. Top work man
Thank you for the appreciation and the sub Richie! I don't think this would be worthy of a tutorial since it's really just some Ableton delays and beatrepeats set on the piano and some parameters set on the controller, all on top of the song production clips set on scenes. There are already tones of tutorials on every level of production and performance here on UA-cam, I don't think doing one would bring anything new :)
Best of luck in your production adventure!
Beautiful.
Brilliant, I really like this form of music. I always have time to stop and listen to it. It sounds like Math, beautiful Math., that's the only way I can explain it.
You're awesome mate ! You convinced me to buy this Akai Keyboard and i hope i can progress in this ..as it was always my dream to make music !
with all my regards
Thank you for the appreciation Bacem. Best of luck with your musical endeavors.
❤❤❤❤
hmmm i, m happy to find you. you born to make music. thanks bro
Thank you for the kind words Attila
Super
absolute GEM !
awesome!!!
Săru’ mâna :)
Release it release it release it please so i can buy it sooooooooo good
I would appreciate it if you take a video describing the use.
It's not really that complicated, a description video would be short and uninteresting I think. Some clips that I've launched, a layered piano to play with and some delays / beat repeats on return tracks mapped to the knobs and that's it :)
Sincerely dope! How'd you map the knobs to do all the beat-repeat stuff? Can you do a walkthrough? I had the APCKey25 years ago, but just picked up another one as I think it's such a well-designed, cool controller. Even though no RGB pads it doesn't really matter. Anyway... keep up the awesome work! Love this.
Cheers Chris! Well, the mapping / setup is not as complicated as it sounds. The beat-repeat is added after the delay on a return track and mapped out some of its parameters on the knobs, that is it.
Basically the delay on the piano is beat-repeated :) Hope this helps in some degree.
Thanks for convincing me about this I might buy it in the near future soon. Thanks mate and lovely music.
Glad to be of assistance :)
@@AlinDimitriu Will it work with the latest Live version... Or just with Live 9?
@@sphynx0077 I'm sure this setup will work with any version of live, especially with the most recent ones.
Directo a favoritos, está increible
Amazinggg
Thanks man
Foarte tare live-ul. La cat mai multe! 🙂
Cheers Raul!
Awesome
Sublime ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Foarte misto !
Mersi fain.
Good job!
amazing...
Love this, listening with my eyes closed :-)
Lovely track, nice work!
Cheers Martyn
Please consider doing a tutorial on how you set this up? Awesome track and great video! A gem for anyone trying to figure out the Akai
Cheers for the appreciation Carl. Well, a tutorial would be really really basic as there's nothing complicated although it might look like it.
Just a beat repeater with Ableton delays after it on an aux and some of the parameters (send, beat repeat rate, delay time... etc) sent on the knobs.
Otherwise, the song production is set to clips for the small performance.
you've just put me onto something thank youuu!@@AlinDimitriu
Wow that is so nice
good.
Okay. I will get an APC key 25 tomorrow as a metalhead. And do some chilly lovely somethings 😅
Needs a release!
It got released, but forgot to update de description :) Stream / Download: fanlink.to/OutOfAir
It.s good sound design✊👍
Thank you, glad you've enjoyed it!
I want to buy one too, how is its keyboard quality, is it bad at all or for sounddesign will do?)
Muy bonito y buen sonido 👍
Hi Alin Dimitriu..Thats very pleasant start and sound controls. Basically I liked the instruments and vocals that you selected. I hv bought a new Akai APC 25 for my son. When he saw this video he was very impressed and he would like to try this. Could you please let me know the instruments that you have used to develop this track. Thank you very much. And keep moving and make many more videos on APC 25. :) :)
Hey there, thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you and your son liked the music and the video.
Regarding the instruments used, it isn't as complicated as it appears. My advice to your son is to find the sound that he likes and develop his own general trough them. It's not really about the tools, it's more about how you use what you got.
If you want specifics, everything was build with Ableton. I've used samples from the packs I've created for the drums, for the bass I've used Serum, for the piano / plucks I've used Native Instruments and Omnisphere and the vocal is a sample I got from Splice.
Hope this helps. Best of luck and inspiration to you and your son.
Dear@@AlinDimitriu . Thank you very much for your prompt reply. My son is sooo exited by seeing your reply. I have Abelton Live 10. Sure we will try out. Any other suggestions are welcome. In fact you are the first person(The music Producer) where we are communicating. We will look forward to have more conversations which would be helpful to my son. Thank you very much for your help.
Perfeito seu som
Senti no meu coração
Прекрасно,гениально
Спасибо
wow!
Великолепно!!!!!!!😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎
Cпасибо!
Prea tare jucaria asta ce pare sa se plieze perfect cu ableton. Cred ca ma uit a 10-a oara la acest video, ce-i drept, si piesa e foarte buna.
Da, controller-ul asta e perfect pentru Ableton. As prefera un APC 40 care e versiunea full, dar si asta e perfect pentru mini jams ca asta. Cat despre piesa, mersi mult, ma bucur ca-ti place. Initial incropisem ceva rapid sa am cu ce sa ma joc pe video dar cred ca e urmatoarea de lansat ca si mie-mi place ce a iesit.
@@AlinDimitriu perfect, hai cu ea pe spotify! BTW. ce delay ai folosit aici? in caz ca nu e vreun secret tool :D
@@raulsavu9755 Ha, n-am niciodata secrete, sunt open source :) Repeat-urile pianului vin de pe un auxiliar pe care am pus Echo-ul standard din Ableton 10, un Beat Repeat si Floodverb (Bosomac) in Reaktor. Mi-am pus knob-uri pe delay si pe Beat Repeat sa le pot modela live. Nu e asa complicat pe cum se aude pe 'banda', doar artificii.
Alin Dimitriu thanks, o sa incerc si eu. Suna foarte bine cu artificiile cele
OMG Thats so nice
The best!
👌
Very nice! Just subscribed.
Thank you, much appreciated.
you should go on..we need to hear from you more..
Nice
Hey Alin, just stumbled upon this, it's really beautiful. Well done! I to have a key 25 and was wondering how you go about organizing the elements of the track with each grid. I am assuming your using ableton.
Hey there, thank you for the appreciation. Yes, I used Ableton's session view to pre-arrange the samples / midi clips to be played.
v nice
Great work! How i map the knobs to delay etc?
Do you think is a good idea buy one in 2020?
At its price, definitely :)
Hey nice work! Can you program the buttons(the keaboard ones)with diferent tones and sounds from the PC itself or it just have some saved on the device?
Hey Ivo, thanks for the appreciation.
Yes, usually with Ableton you can map everything to everything, but as far as I know you cannot store mappings in the device, but in the Ableton file itself.
Hey my man! I really think this is absolutely amazing. I've had the akai 25 key for a while but I've never seen it used or set up as well. Any chance you could give us some info on how you went about making it?
Thank you for the kind words Damien. The info is on it's way over email, although it's not as complicated as it looks. :)
@@AlinDimitriu Can't tell you how much I appreciate the response. Thanks my man!
may I use this track in my next video, its amaaazing
Thank you Laura, I'm glad you like it!
Sure, you can use the official release in your video - you can find it here: fanlink.to/OutOfAir
@@AlinDimitriu thank you so much!
I love those sounds. I bought the same keyboard but I don't know how to use it properly. I need to understand all the functions. By the way what bass did you use? It's wonderful I love it! Even the piano sounds so different than the one I got on Cubase Pro.
Thank you Giancarlo. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly with what device I've made the bass, but it might be from Roland Cloud since I am using that a lot.
I think the Piano is "Una Corda" from Native Instruments as its my favorite to use.
Hope this helps.
@@AlinDimitriu thanks a lot :-)
💯👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where i can found the sample of the femal voice please ? Great music ;) !!
Thank you for the appreciation. The vocal sample is taken from Splice - "Echoes by Holly Drummond" pack by Black Octopus.
@@AlinDimitriu Thank you, today i bought the APC key ;)
Hey bro! Do you have any tutorials or courses where you teach how to play? I’d like to know as well, where are the samples you used in this song coming from?
Your song is really cool, btw. Cheers
how to play this song, I mean
Thank you for the appreciation, but unfortunately I don't have time to make video tutorials, maybe in the future. It's really not as complicated as it looks, just launching some clips and playing a piano with a delay on aux that has a beat repeater after it and some parameters are mapped to the knobs.
If I need samples (this vocal as example) I use Loopcloud and Splice, but usually I make them.
Hope this helps in some degree. Cheers
Please turn this Track to Spotify!
Thank you greetings from Germany.
The link to the track is in the video's description: fanlink.to/OutOfAir. Thank you! :)
@@AlinDimitriu Ahh and i search for a spotify link :DD. Thank you for the fast Reply.
А у меня прям беда с akai apc key 25,никак не хочет дружить-не могу изменить параметры input и output в настройках....
Я бы хотел помочь, но думаю, что для этого больше подходит поддержка Akai Professional. Удачи я уверен ты решишь проблему
Translated with Google Translate, hope its accurate :)
@@AlinDimitriu ,Спасибо,будем дальше пробовать.Купил сыну 12 летнему,он пытается что-то писать,анализировать ,учится.Найдем выход из ситуации.
Hey - is it possible to play the drums hihats etc with the pads with this device ?
Hey man. Sure, you can play anything you map on it, in Ableton is every button and knob fully customizable.
Alin Dimitriu ok so i am thinking about getting this or the mpk mini mk2 ? Whats the main difference? I wanna do some dub music playing chords and making beats... also some live performances for myself ... what do you think ?
@@LederhosenCharly As a strictly personal opinion, I consider the Apc Key 25 more live-act inclined (clip launching and stuff) and the MPK Mini more of a production / studio tool. It's up to you what you think you'll use it on more frequently. Hope this helps.
@@AlinDimitriu That was the info I was looking for - and meanwhile, I listened to some great vibes here! - Keep it up man! - Nice vibes! - :) - And thanx for the answer to that mapping question!
Exactly the question I had in mind, so thank you for asking it - this made it possible for me to find it right away here. - :) - Cheers!
Can u do this in FL studio?
I have no idea, haven't used FL Studio. This is made in Ableton.
ı beg you please share project file :(
Since it's a commercial release I cannot give away the project file, but I'll happily can answer any questions you might have.
who is the singer?
It's a royalty free sample
