About this deal

I am absolutely thrilled that someone has gone to all this effort to create this massive tutorial for the MPC line.

The launcher view is your typical 8x8 grid of tappable clip slots, complete with animated loop progress bars in each clip.I’ve got custom artwork on these from Half Sumo Collective… I hope you guys dig them as much as I do. I connected the Retrokits RK006 interface that I have on test, and boom: 10 new MIDI output ports on my MPC! I have always lusted after, but never owned an MPC, so have no real experience and need a hand-holding approach which the MPC Bible provides entirely condescension free, which is extremely refreshing. On the hardware side, Live II would have hit perfection if it had had a mic/instrument input as well as line ins.

With 5 decades of experience, Akai Professional continues to empower music creators with the innovative technology needed to make inspiring music. I highly recommend the Akai-people resonsible for the MPC Live manual to have a look at it and learn as well. No real mixing limitations - I don’t advocate for serious mixing work while sketching, but there are some exceptions like getting the bass and kick to sit well in the mix because that sets the stage for everything else in my experience.Take this to a gig instead of your laptop, and it'll keep running when someone kicks out the power cable. Hear every detail of your production - rumbling 808s, the unmistakable punch of kick drums, thunderous bass lines, and a crisp, silky high- end. A new suite of AIR vocal effects: Tuner to make your vocals sound perfect, Vocal Harmonizer, a four-part vocal-harmonizer effect and Doubler, to add presence to your vocal line or create realistic double effects. In addition, Timing Correct, self-selected note assignment for different program types, Retrospective Record (recording MIDI notes and data in the background), Q-Link Overlay (better visual feedback of the knobs in the display) and workflow improvements have been integrated in the new OS.

An actually useful step sequencer - looking at tutorials, it seems like a decent workflow that resembles the Elektron workflow to a degree.slots on the rear panel, your MIDI controller can be plugged directly into MPC Live for playing built-in instruments from The Vault 2. Deep internal MIDI routing across tracks, plus comprehensive MIDI routing makes the MPC Live II the perfect centerpiece for your MIDI-based studio. Designed from the ground up, this dual tweeter- woofer system delivers impeccable clarity to keep your ideas flowing through the creative process.

Having to pay for and learn a new daw - not sure how big my appetite is for spending hundreds of euros and then hundreds of hours relearning things across both hardware and software. Your treatment of the X was comprehensive, invigorating, well-paced and left me itching to see what was on the next page. The update made it possible to use class compliant audio interface to expand the audio in and out, so you can take a portable audio interface with you on the go too.

It is so clear and sensible in its approach and instructions, especially compared to the user manual. Great care has been taken to ensure accuracy in the preparation of this article but neither Sound On Sound Limited nor the publishers can be held responsible for its contents. includes loads of new instruments that you can easily download by selecting ‘Get Synth Content’ from the MPC Menu/Help Menu.
