Akai has been on a roll for past few years. They are giving customers so much and not charging for most of it. A brilliant move. They have my loyalty toward their products. Bravo Akai.
I can’t wait for this. I’m finally feeling comfortable with navigating the hardware and software for both production and performance, and the updated UI and shortcuts are a looking really nice.
I just got used to MPC workflow, literally! Having DAW background, it really took time for me to get used to it. And now, here they come with their brand new DAWish version.. Sheeeitt!
Holy sheeeeeeeeeeet 😮🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾 man I'm hyped. I work solely on mpc and always hope for a updated version. Sheeesh it looks so clean. CANT WAIIIITTT!!!!! 😅😢
@AveMcree this is The Update we’ve all Been Waiting For It’s Finally Here and only thing Left to Do Akai Is to Be Able to Upgrade Ram And HDD Preferably SSD In All The MPC’s and Everything else in Competition Is Dead In The Water 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The update is coming. They have been communicating with us that it’s coming. I don’t know how to feel about this sudden good customer service. I hope now that both are basically the same we get updates at the same time as well. Force users have been beta testers for far too long. The lack of customer service has caused most of the people who dropped videos to quit. It got so bad for us that we now have a mod team that basically developed an add on to address the lack of features. We have been asking them to make it open source so our mod team can fix the problems because we all know what they are and have lived with them for years.
I love the DAW approach. I am much more comfortable with that UI. I also love the combination of the classic MPC functionality. Cant lose with this monster.
Akai just kills it ALL THE TIME!! Started in 2011 with maschine and it’s like watching an old friend who had it all going for them but just constantly made bad choices and is shell of themselves now… Akai actually listens to their users and constantly innovates. And this shit is free!? Insane
Ok. I’m an old MPC head. I love the 2000xl, kept my 1000 & 5000. This actually might make me buy a newer MPC. I have the studio 2 but I’m not a huge fan of it or the MPC 2 software. This looks like it’s more in line with what I’m looking for.
Lmao 🤣 I like seeing Ave get excited 😂I love the video brotha and thanks to Akai. Now I'm gonna have to invest and get back into, and I'm ready to watch them cook up bruh! 💯
Wow this is an amazing video as usual big Up yourself for always keeping us in the MPC community updated you do such a great job,I have one question will all my 2.0 projects be compatible?????other than that I purely can't wait...Much Love,Bless🙏🏾
Thanks Ave, this makes my MPC a whole new Box! OOOOffff disk streaming? time to get a bigger Hard Drive for this Bad Boy. Looking forward to Your tips and tricks as well as some Cookups. Thanks again for ALL you have done and are doing for the community. Always remember.....If You ain't got No Haterzzzz, Ya' doin' something wrong.
oh lord, bout time akai :) remember the confusion with my first mpc compared to what i was used to on software and other boxes. it can be cumbersome at first
I absolutely love it! One of the things that used to irk me was not being able to move the effects around. Plus when I moved from Maschine to the MPC that whole thing with the programs was confusing. Getting rid of that is gonna decrease the meaning curve for a lot of newcomers. Thank you for the video. 👊🏽🤩
I recently made the transition from Ableton to an MPC because I wanted the freedom of being able to take my gear with me. My jaw DROPPED when I saw arranger mode 😍 I CANT WAIT
Maschine Is dead, it's over. completely. Akai has walked them boys down! Bear in Mind even before the MPC 3.0 they were already needing to play catch up with features that the MPC have. -Stem Seperation -Key detection -Tuner -Realtime Time Stretch -Warping (after chopping, and NO, audio plugin does not do the same thing) -Track/Pad Muting -Sampler flexibility (Stereo>mono, gain change, extract, etc) -MP3 Compatibility
@@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork I know about 2 people in the forums that are testing the beta and while they haven't given me specifics because NDA, what I do know is enough for me to be rubbing my hands on anticipation
That’s the same thing I thought! Too much going on in every screen. As convenient as it might be, it’s definitely gonna be too distracting and gonna need to take more breaks from that screen now 😂
This is crazy this is going to make my workflow so much better. At this point they acting like Microsoft in music production. I’ve been apart of the Akai family for over 20 years and they still impress me.
Great video. 3.0 looks amazing. There will be so much less jumping between screens! I love the new colors, too. I was never a huge fan of the old red theme.
I am dyslexic and took ages for me to learn the MPC 2. It would be nice to have an update with classic view so that we have the power of the MPC 3 in the background but the MPC 2 feel.
Now I can get with this flow. I moved to Maschine before all this was a thing. The renaissance was just releasing months after I already invested in Maschine. Mind you that I owned a few MPC hardware models before I made the “digital” switch. MPC 2000, 2000XL, 3000, 5000.
Ave I respect you and your channel! This update is mostly cosmetic but I do a have a few ideas to use those 8 layers (using 16 levels and velocity)... We need a little more though. We need Midi regions (like a group of midi or time selection within a track) in the arranger view. We need the ability to organize the loaded samples in folders. Sandbox third party plug-ins when using the software on the computer. Other than that, Im excited to get another Akai product. Now just have to decide the Force or the Key...
This means you can start a track in mpc and finish it in mpc software on pc without swapping daws (ok maybe until like mastering) this is an epic change. First change for standalone sequencers like ever for this.
I'm going to wait until MPC 3.0 is available in Controller mode. It makes no sense to have two different operating systems, one for stand alone and one for controller mode. The update is long over due, I rather just have to deal with just one operating system instead of switching between two.
This is great but whats funny is the Akai Force has had the Linear Arranger, Enhanced Drum Grid, Track and Pad mixer, Disk Streaming for a couple years now. It's great to see they have found a way to combine with the MPC workflow (... and I most definitely will be using it with my MPC X) but with all this hype people could of just grabbed a force 5+ years ago. Some of these features came out as early as 2019 on the Force.
I hated my MPC and was about to sell it simply because of the UI. think i'll hang on to it and check this update out. the arrangement screen alone is a game changer
What it do Ave! I left an negative or constructive criticism comment to you and you were a CHAMP about it.Just wanted to say I apologize and keep doing what you do I respect your channel Bro much love and continue to be Blessed👍✌RB MUSIC

Will 3.0 be available for MPC One?
I'm no pro but guessing yes.woot woot@@datflychick32
First time I heard an Ave beat and started freestyling
Did the computer software change? No one is mentioning the software…
Akai has been on a roll for past few years. They are giving customers so much and not charging for most of it. A brilliant move. They have my loyalty toward their products. Bravo Akai.
My panic level IS pretty high. Your vids taught me up to a level where I get excited to bypass the video games and open up my drum kits instead.
lol great quote
@@AveMcreeI wish you could mix beats in Dolby like in Logic Pro and then send it to artists… I would love to see that..
Factz.
I can’t wait for this. I’m finally feeling comfortable with navigating the hardware and software for both production and performance, and the updated UI and shortcuts are a looking really nice.
I sold my MPC one a couple of years ago, this has convinced me to get it again 🔥🔥🔥
Arrangement is literally a game changer for workflow. Like WAAAY better visually
I just got used to MPC workflow, literally! Having DAW background, it really took time for me to get used to it. And now, here they come with their brand new DAWish version..
Sheeeitt!
😂right
Me too bro I just my MPC last week
I feel the same way
same here
Gives me a reason to blow the dust off and get active 🔥🔥
Ave you are our guy when it comes to anything akai 🎉
appriciate it
Holy sheeeeeeeeeeet 😮🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾 man I'm hyped. I work solely on mpc and always hope for a updated version. Sheeesh it looks so clean. CANT WAIIIITTT!!!!! 😅😢
That arrangement mode is crazy…. Can’t wait
Not sure if I caught it but is there linear arrangement? I couldn't tell?
@@kedonb2184 Yes. It looks really good.
I got a single tear dropping from my eye
My MPC ONE+ comes today! Looking forward to this after using a DAW for years! This is going to combine old and new.
You will have a great time grabbing mine outta the pawnshop later today been itching to make a beat for two months😡💯😎
Congrats, enjoy it!
@ThaRealWillowBeatz Enjoy the journey 👊🏾🫡
Beautiful.. this looks very much like the Force, The AKAi Force,which is one of my favorites
as a Force user i'm really happy these features have come over to the MPCs. enjoy! props to Akai
@AveMcree this is The Update we’ve all Been Waiting For It’s Finally Here and only thing Left to Do Akai Is to Be Able to Upgrade Ram And HDD Preferably SSD In All The MPC’s and Everything else in Competition Is Dead In The Water 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the best video outside of the official Akai ones that I’ve seen on the update and those beats were jammin
This is dope. My MPC one plus gets here today thanks for the videos and updates I will be using your page to learn
Now that the Force UI has been brought over to the MPC I hope this means both will receive updates at the same time.
Yeah the Force get's no love.
@@camblackofficial You noticed that too!!! I haven't seen the force with an update for damn near 2 years!!!
@@Djmp1914I feel like this update may be Akai’s path out of the Force.

@@camblackofficialnah seems like this was the plan all along. Force was the beta for all of this….
Learning never stops!This is 🔥
😅I thought I could instantly upgrade.🤣I turned on the MPC hyped
Shoot me too 😂
Same 😂
No bro. We gonna have to wait probably 6 months like standalone stems. I hope not but you know how they be doing us.
@@jackmademusic I heard 2 weeks for the beta. U can sign up now
Agreed. I was hyped to get home from a festival to update it. Now I'm just pissed off. Announce it when its actually out.
Wow this looks amazing!!! So excited!!!
I love the DAW approach. I am much more comfortable with that UI. I also love the combination of the classic MPC functionality. Cant lose with this monster.
Thank you very much for the video! The “Steams standalone” mode brings improvements, greetings from Chile🇨🇱
Wow. Can't wait. Just signed up for the beta program. Fingers crossed...
So many cool additions, love the arranger but I especially love how you can finally reorder fx chains 👍
I'm ready baby!! I've been soaking up this MPC 3 stuff!! Ave, im drooling bruh!! Akai came with it this time!!👊🏾💯
I can’t wait! This is dope. That loop feature is one of a few things missing
Ok AVE,I listen to your competition.BUT I VIBE WITH YOU!!!! im 60 making beats!!tech been kickin my az..BUT YOU THE MAN
This update is what I wanted, good stuff
Thank you for this video 🙏🔥as usual explained in detail and best review yet 👊
Akai just kills it ALL THE TIME!! Started in 2011 with maschine and it’s like watching an old friend who had it all going for them but just constantly made bad choices and is shell of themselves now… Akai actually listens to their users and constantly innovates. And this shit is free!? Insane
This is Akai making sure i never regret buying their products... & I haven't once yet. I'm keeping my live 2.12 & updating my X. WOW.
Ok. I’m an old MPC head. I love the 2000xl, kept my 1000 & 5000. This actually might make me buy a newer MPC. I have the studio 2 but I’m not a huge fan of it or the MPC 2 software. This looks like it’s more in line with what I’m looking for.
Woh, man that beat on the 37... FIRE pure FIRE.... Ave the Master 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Crazy update. Junk looks so clean and more refined. Older version was very confusing and inconsistent. A lot of menu diving. Be blessed in Jesus name.
The homie dropped an MPC Live 2 on me 6 months ago and I’ve haven’t used it yet. Thank for your encouragement. This is exciting.
Lmao 🤣 I like seeing Ave get excited 😂I love the video brotha and thanks to Akai. Now I'm gonna have to invest and get back into, and I'm ready to watch them cook up bruh! 💯
Wow this is an amazing video as usual big Up yourself for always keeping us in the MPC community updated you do such a great job,I have one question will all my 2.0 projects be compatible?????other than that I purely can't wait...Much Love,Bless🙏🏾
I have been waiting for a linear arrangement mode. I can't wait for this update. I signed up for the beta. I need to pick up Stems as well.
Thanks Ave, this makes my MPC a whole new Box! OOOOffff disk streaming? time to get a bigger Hard Drive for this Bad Boy. Looking forward to Your tips and tricks as well as some Cookups.

Thank you AVE!!!!!! This looks fire! Can’t wait for the official release. If they remove anything, please let us know.
Nah you snapped on all these beats bro. Can’t wait for this update 💯
oh lord, bout time akai :) remember the confusion with my first mpc compared to what i was used to on software and other boxes. it can be cumbersome at first
I absolutely love it! One of the things that used to irk me was not being able to move the effects around. Plus when I moved from Maschine to the MPC that whole thing with the programs was confusing. Getting rid of that is gonna decrease the meaning curve for a lot of newcomers. Thank you for the video. 👊🏽🤩
I have a Akai force and a key 61 I can’t wait for this update I’ll be right at home on mpc key 61
Hell yeah!!, this is great!!. I’m ready to get busy with this update
Both of those tracks you made was absolutely beautiful
I just see the half of the video, and wow dude! freaking awesome! this now mpc is finally almost perfect. Wow! I canttt waitttt
I recently made the transition from Ableton to an MPC because I wanted the freedom of being able to take my gear with me. My jaw DROPPED when I saw arranger mode 😍 I CANT WAIT
Using that mpc as a controller in Ableton : the perfect combination just a lil fyi
Gonna have to get use to the new UI but it’s dope I like it and am waiting for that controller mode drop
this is exciting. Really hope this means they got a pro level MPC in the works that we can get our hands on in the next few years
Maschine Is dead, it's over. completely. Akai has walked them boys down!
Bear in Mind even before the MPC 3.0 they were already needing to play catch up with features that the MPC have.
-Stem Seperation
-Key detection
-Tuner
-Realtime Time Stretch
-Warping (after chopping, and NO, audio plugin does not do the same thing)
-Track/Pad Muting
-Sampler flexibility (Stereo>mono, gain change, extract, etc)
-MP3 Compatibility
Maschine IS a toy MPC is a tool😅
I wouldn't say that yet. Maschine 3 is coming out this year. So if love to see what the competition is gonna bring
Calm down
Naw they actually about to drop something
@@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork I know about 2 people in the forums that are testing the beta and while they haven't given me specifics because NDA, what I do know is enough for me to be rubbing my hands on anticipation
Great 👍 walk through Ava. You always get your point across 👍👍
Finally! The old "mpc workflow" is severly out dated so this update is Sooooo necessary. Cant wait!
My first reaction I fw the better mixing and whole song arrangement but I wish the ui wasn’t so busy
That’s the same thing I thought! Too much going on in every screen. As convenient as it might be, it’s definitely gonna be too distracting and gonna need to take more breaks from that screen now 😂
This is crazy this is going to make my workflow so much better. At this point they acting like Microsoft in music production. I’ve been apart of the Akai family for over 20 years and they still impress me.
Thank you for sharing, I needed some good news 😂!
Appreciate u Ave!! 🤜🏽🤛🏽 this made my day, been waiting on this update for so long, thanks for sharing brother 🙏🏽
Great video. 3.0 looks amazing. There will be so much less jumping between screens! I love the new colors, too. I was never a huge fan of the old red theme.
@ Ave king, that beat is super drippy 🔥🔥🔥ya dig peace kinfolk I never used daw so I’m hype and proud to be a mpc live 2 owner 🙌🏾👍🏾✊🏾👏🏾💪🏾
I am dyslexic and took ages for me to learn the MPC 2. It would be nice to have an update with classic view so that we have the power of the MPC 3 in the background but the MPC 2 feel.
Right
I feel you it's going to be a big learning curve
Easy
I agree
@@RobSozzese it should be quite easy to convert to MPC3. It'll be worth it. I'm sydlexic also.
I can't wait to learn this update,it looks great
Just started ripping on song mode. It's fine, It's fine lol, good vid Ave.
Yo! You had cracking up braw. That intro😂
I should have purchased the MPC from the start of my journey.
I’m excited to get this but also so used to the current UI that it makes me stressed to think about adjusting lol
Now I can get with this flow. I moved to Maschine before all this was a thing. The renaissance was just releasing months after I already invested in Maschine. Mind you that I owned a few MPC hardware models before I made the “digital” switch. MPC 2000, 2000XL, 3000, 5000.
Thanks Ave you know I'll be looking forward to learning how to use the new setup
Akai is finally stepping up their game 👍👍
Cool vid, I'm looking forward to this change
All I gotta say is....that KEY 37 joint you made is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!

@brianakerson1048 I know right because I'm using a mpc renaissance and I'm not upgrading no time soon.
Better now than never, I was falling off but this gonna pull me back in for sure.😎
akai quietly bypassed everyone again
Looking forward to the cook ups again … Salute Ave ✌🏽
OOOHHH THAT LAST BEAT WAS FIRE!!!
This is fire 🔥 and crazy, you know how long it took to get a work flow and muscle memory 😵😱💯✅ ok let’s go get the beta
I'm looking forward to seeing how this all works!

*MPC OS version 3.x had these features and it is now available for the MPC family as well.
its like a hybrid FLSTUDIO and MPC , Perfect 👌
I hated my MPC and was about to sell it simply because of the UI.
think i'll hang on to it and check this update out.
the arrangement screen alone is a game changer
Looks user friendly perfect for some who loves making beats
I felt this one!!!! I been a fan but more of one now keep doin what u do im an artist now producing would love to be a part of the AveMcree movement
looks like a giant jump forward... that MPC Key 37 looks good!
Wow.....this is a game-changer! I am at work wishing I was home.....dammmmm!
You don’t even need to hit record anymore. The MPC remembers your midi inputs💪🏽😁
The day after my key 61 shipped this announcement was made . I can’t wait to start cooking with 3.0.
Naaaaaa YOU JUST SOLD THAT 37 !!! I think I neeeed that one !!!! And the XSE and that’s it fa meee
That last beat you made should be on streaming services that beat was funky
What it do Ave! I left an negative or constructive criticism comment to you and you were a CHAMP about it.Just wanted to say I apologize and keep doing what you do I respect your channel Bro much love and continue to be Blessed👍✌RB MUSIC
Just this morning I was about to put my X up for sale. Holy moly
The CONVERTS are coming over to the house of MPC! Game Over - We Won! (Finally - LOL)
Thanks Ave, your excitement is unmatched! Question, with direct to disk…does that mean “unlimited” audio tracks?
THIS IS FENOMENAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
Made a banger on the key 37 🔥
Mixer page(looks like Polyend Tracker), streaming from disk, and the layout seems like good improvements.
