MPC3 Keygroup XL Deep Dive Tutorial (Corrected)
With MPC3 officially launched, @AkaiProVideo added a powerful feature with Keygroup XL. I take a deep dive look into the feature set and build a synth instrument from a basic sample.

After I attempt downgrade to mpc2, the key61 boots back into mpc3 wtf?! Anyone go through this, I've tried 3 times...
Issue resolved: instead of using 256gb micro SD card that was in a SD adapter Inserted into a USB adapter... I tried putting it on my Samsung 4TB T9.... Downgrade(really an upgrade) successful. Mpc3 messed up ALL of my mixes and tracks.. DO NOT UPGRADE TO MP3 , IT IS A STEP WAAAY BACKWARDS. This is for newbs who never used 2.0... Mpc3 is not even better than mpc4000, thi it's more capable. this mpc3 is meant for an entirely different product., like the Akai Azios HD. It's like taking your silverado to chevy for an upgrade, and when u pick ur truck up, Now it's in the format of a chevy Cruz. This was a waste... cmon, akai... Fyi, I'm a non sample based producer,no samples. Standalone....just my asr10 days. I play every track with the keyboard... Mpc3 was playing all performed tracks (including purposely muted) at the time no matter what, and effed up the custom mixing to boot. It was like I loaded firmware from a Casio onto the key61..... wtf akai!
what if you just applied a ramp to the sample start?
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🙏🙏🙏 Back to a stable machine ..Preciate ya
I’m torn on getting a synth or the keys 37. I have the x just want to make my own sounds. What would you suggest ?
🫡Bolo said you da man
Thank you for sharing this wonderful knowledge with us. I was struggling to use my single shots samples, but that is no longer the case. 👍🙏
For me at the moment it’s the missing clip programs that’s annoying. Time signatures ain’t a problem because you can acheive any time signature if you think about it.
Sick features, and great video as always! For sure prefer MPC 3 over the previous version, much more intuitive. But pushing new NI content when we haven't even gotten back to being able to work in 3/4 when it was in the previous OS version is a strange order of priorities. Long term MPC user and fully DAWless, definitely need that control back.
i want downgrade. I can`t find the Clip Launch Mode in MPC 3?? Thanks for this Video..
Thanks a lot mate to be honest versión 3 does not work well should not have been released with so many bugs and also v2 design is better in my opinion
Oooh I got the 150th Like! Lol... Great video brother! 👊🧡👍
I subbed within the first minute! Awesome studio too! Cheers!
I just got a Hydrasynth Deluxe a few months ago and I am still in awe of this beast.
Need to downgrade to track out my old projects n mutes. I’ll be back
Modulating those effects would be awesome! I hope they add that in the future.
Hi Tefty. Thanks for the video, there are some aspects/limitations of the Keygroup XL that I think should be clarified as Akai have not explained them in the 3.41 manual PDF: 1. A program can only have one Keygroup XL. Once you have switched a keygroup into this mode, you can add new keygroups but they will all use the LFO/Filter/Envelope/Mod Matrix settings you applied in the first keygroup. You may switch the other keygroups into Legacy mode where they will all have their own settings, but they will then lose access to the new features in XL. So essentially Keygroup XL is more of a program type than a keygroup type. 2. In Keygroup XL the standard two LFOs are polyphonic (each voice starts a new LFO). There is a Reset toggle to control whether the LFO cycle retriggers with key or pad presses, however it's almost a moot point since the LFO is not monophonic and thus every key/voice has it's own LFO and there is no way to make them move together in unison. 3. The two Global LFOs are in fact monophonic, and thus if you are looking for a traditional synthesizer LFO to create a vibrato or tremolo effect across the entire instrument, these Global LFOs are the ones to use, they will affect all voices simultaneously. 4. The Global LFOs are also permanently in free-running mode and do not have a reset toggle. 5. Akai have still not implemented a free-running LFO Reset toggle in the legacy keygroups, despite this being a long-standing popular feature request. 6. Because of 5. above, it's still completely impossible to assign a free running LFO to any sample in a Drum Program. You cannot for example attach an LFO to a cymbal sample and make a notch filter sweep around on that sample over time, because Drum Programs are in legacy keygroup mode, and are permanently retriggering. So while the Keygroup XL is welcome, it has made no improvement to modulation limitations that exist in Drum Programs.
🔥👊🧡👍🔥
Wow, you remade the whole video. Top work Tefty! Thanks for this.
Nice to see you around!
Great video man you know your stuff lol! Hey had a question and I haven't been able to figure it out..If I sample a vocal say..aah or ooh and I have it as a single wave file I know I can put it in keyboard mode but how do I fix it where when I play that sample up and down the keys it doesn't speed up or slow down so I can play a chord with the vocal and the pitches are correct ..I guess time stretching the sample ...but anyway I hope I explained it well thnx in advance..maybe u can do a video thnx
Great tutorial! It's amazing you can do this much sound design even on an MPC One. I have an old Teenage Engineering PO-16 that I've never really gotten any real usage out of. Definitely going to try this with it as a source.
isnt this Mod Matrix stuff totally new? i dont remember this being in the system before 3.0 final? its been something ive been looking for for a while because i wanted to use the MPC as a sample mangler and audio processor in terms of experimental type stuff and i couldnt find any of this sound design type functions except what was already there in the drum player... was this always in the multisampler area?? oh well.... this is awesome because its exactly what i was looking fotr in terms of sound design when using a sampler... namely a mod matrix that has enough sources and destinations to accomplish some generative type functions, or other synthesis type activitiies
Yes, this is all new, all the new things that appear when you disable legacy mode. The one thing Im not sure he discussed is, processor usage. Using this will absolutely trash the processor usage, just be aware of that. Design your sound, sample that sound, and use the sample as a keygroup, because you can get so crazy with this that it will use 50%+ of your CPU just for one sound.
@@joshuagardner894 thats good tho, thats exactly what im looking for - i dont use the mpc synth plugins
Deep Dive for Real😮..great job😅..❤
I bought the N.I. Maschine a week or two ago and am just sending it back now. I thought to myself ''Should have got the MPC all along'', but this video has made me realise what the issue is for me. I've spent the last 25 years trying to make my music NOT sound like a bunch of square blocks in a row. So from my point of view, some of these devices and workflows are like a big (and expensive) step backwards. Thank you for waking me up from my G.A.S. induced blindness. If i want to write a tune, i'll use a DAW. If i want to jam on something in my hardware rig that plays just samples, i don't really need something this full on.
You my man are an angel in disguise
I wish Akai could correct their mistakes as fast you. Cool demo showing off these features. I hope the Force get this!
*slurp*
First time of my life that I had to downgrade a divce in 35 years. Hopefully it was easily possible without any trick.
Did you purposely avoid the broken Autosampler?
The only thing in 3.0 that I care about. Incredible. I'd pay for the advanced keygroups in a 2.15 update. AKAI!! Take my money!! Bring it as a final 2.15 update.
It only 3.0 cause it’s power Sorry fam keep ya money
2.15 is finished 😊project Enjoy
@@Bilpokat These advanced keygroups are practically zero impact on cpu resources. It's not coming to 2.15, but only because they've moved on. It should've always been there. Simple stuff really.
thats why they removed Clips mode and all that other stuff they removed.... they reallocated the CPU/RAM cycles to allow a more in-depth sample player, which the NI stuff requires.... but im just glad its part of the native system now sadly for the hip hop peeps and rappers.. it looks like Akai is moving closer to a universal type workstation platform, (which would need something like this) and that means they will try to please everyone, which as we all know is a recipe for pleasing no one but yeh im please because i dont care about hip hop or beats or whatever.. so yeh.... im definitely happy 😁 fam
@@andremiller1566 nah man there is much more modulation in this new thing... that definitely takes CPU because it is doing all that stuff in real time
How many LFOs does this have, is there just the 2 you were talking about, or are there more?
in the sources list it has 2 LFOs... but then i saw RAMP 1 and RAMP 2 as well, which is funky.... also all 4 of the pre-routed envelopes were there
the bottom of the list says "random ramps" and "random S&H" which seems to be in addition to all the lfos and envs and the rest and thats funky
What was wrong in the first one?
The effects section I missed completely for the individual keygroups, the timbre shift I was wrong about, and I confirmed with Akai about global drift and voice drift requiring direct patches in the matrix. The manual as of today has these things stated incorrectly (except for the effects section) and that's what created the confusion for me.
This is pretty impressive
Ah nice I watched the majority of the first version. Gonna peep this for the corrections. Really hyped about MPC 3 now that I know for sure they're actively working on time signatures haha. This is one of the dopest new updated features of MPC 3. Offers some of the most in depth sound design on MPC in general, besides Opx-4.
First! Thanks for doing this, appreciate your videos!
❤️🙏
This is the CORRECTED version of this video. Shoutout to everyone who helped correct the info and get a solid version of this video to exist in the MPC TH-cam Sphere ❤
nice walkthrough. i dont find it very interesting really, from a "classic" musical pov. Why not develop further and perfect the auto-sampler? Develop and streamline the ability to clone our vsts. It doesn't have to conflict with the rompler-mania.
Great video. Have any of the midi issues or other bugs been fixed yet?
Thanks! Yeah about 6 months ago they patched it. Love this synth
Love this, when I got 3 everything from 2 seemed more complicated, but just spending a few hours messing about while scratching my head with one these 🤷🏼♂️, I’m starting to see the benefits, thanks!
What a rip
I have the OG Live & sampled in a single layer of outboard gear or VSTs via autosampler to create larger keygroups across 88 keys that samples in every other key for 8 seconds each. Which eats up memory pretty quick when loaded in for a session. I can get away with loading in about 8-10 full keygroups/instruments into a typical project without running into any issues but i do wish that Akai would have allowed for us easily upgrade to more ram without having to buy another unit.
great video
Soooo good ❤
thank you,
bingo thx bro, I was having panic attacks
You can also do it via usb in update mode with the same downlaod
23:43 not sure if anyone’s clarified or you’ve figured it out yet but, if in the shift pattern settings if You turn smooth to on or off this doesn’t happen, it only does in auto mode. I thought that smooth was in reference to the quantisation.
crazy you can't change the time signature
The main reason I keep the micro freak is the keyboard. Makes me play the synth in a different way. It is also a midi poly aftertouch interface which the mini freak isn’t.
