What a wonderful composition! I am anxiously awaiting the return of my Live II from Black Lion Audio! They redid all the pre amps & I/O on my MPC X SE and it’s a fantastic upgrade!
Thank you for commenting on my post on Reddit. Your music is sick! I couldn’t get this to work in my workflow, I ended up returning it and got an SP404 and a launchpad X. I just wanted to say thank you! I’m subbed!
Hey Damion, really appreciate your comment on the music, that made me very glad, thank you! That sounds like a great setup, hope you're clicking with the SP! For our kind of heavily sequenced music, the MPC probably makes more sense but I can definitely see how it's not suitable for the kind of music you're making.
Thanks for showcasing the MPC in such eloquent and entertaining way - resonates with the way I use it, though you are worlds ahead of me in resampling and layering the resamples. And yes, I'm also a member of the 40+ synthdads club !
Do you think there's a real chance that one day us 40+ synthdads will take over the world? 😂🤣 Appreciate the comment and compliment, we're still just learning and having lots of fun while doing so. Hope it's the same for you!
@@sinewaymusic With 100k tracks released daily on Spotify, anyone's chances are slim and entirely dependent on promotion, so I dance like no one is watching. To me, it is about fun, self-expression, connecting with my handful of listeners, the community that forms with those we make something together with and the musical knowledge we infuse to the younger ones - who might one day take over the world !
Nice video! And so true! There is a similar misconception about the MPC Software itself. It has its limitations but it's still incredibly powerful and allows creativity. I dont have a standalone yet, but I will get one eventually.
Thanks! I definitely got a different view on the MPC software when I realized how beautifully it integrates with other DAWs too as a plugin. It's really seamless and it makes working on the MPC even more fun. I personally love the standalone workflow and making music in bed, on the couch, or anywhere around the house. And the MPC Live 2 speaker is legitimately good! Hope. you'll get to experience it soon. Thanks for listening to the music!
Thanks for the feedback! I don't have the MPC in front of me and would have to look. I'm not sure if it came with a sample pack, the stock MPC samples or from the Digitakt. Either way, I'm happy to send it to you if you're interested. DM me if so.
I would ABSOLUTELY love to see a more in depth review of an MPC from you guys. I got an MPC a while back, didn't really vibe with it, traded it in, got Ableton and Push 2 and love it. But I still wanted a standalone for a change in scenery. I tried the SP404Mk2 and I honestly don't like using it anymore (even after all the updates). I tried a friend's MPC One and this time it clicked much more to the point where I am actually torn between getting an MPC Key 37 or a Push 3. So yes, please hit us with some MPC breakdowns because this track changed my mind even more about the possibility to create good arrangements using the MPC.
Thanks for the encouragement! Making these videos takes a bit of time so we probably won't get to this until later this year. But the MPC is very easy to arrange with in my opinion, and midi editing is more straightforward to me than on the Push. People complain about touch screens as if they're a disease, but I find it quite lovely to use. Just tap on a parameter and twist the main jog. You say you love the Push 2. Isn't that all the evidence you need really? Imagine that but untethered to the computer. How do you find making music from scratch on the Push and how often do you reach for that mouse and keyboard? If you ask me though, I currently find the Push 3 to feel more like an extension of Ableton Live, I find it difficult to make music from scratch on it. Part of it is time spent on it, I simply haven't spent nearly as much on it as I have on the MPC. So there's still a lot of friction from trying to figure out how things work. By the way, the MPC and Ableton Live is a match made in heaven. The MPC plugin just works inside Live and makes it ridiculously easy to go from standalone to a final mix. So regardless of Push vs MPC, I think the final destination is Ableton Live. 😊
@@sinewaymusic I also found the touch screen completely fine! Especially after being on the SP haha. I think I need to try some more experiments where I make something using Push 2 and commit to not touching the computer to simulate the standalone experience and really see how it feels. Since I'm equally comfortable in both workflows at this point, it would be a valuable experiment. Since I'm borrowing my friend's MPC I can actually get a good idea between the two. And I agree, ultimately I prefer to finish up anything in Ableton, so reintegration is key and knowing how easy it can be to do that with MPC is another selling point. You made great points and brought up a lot of relevant info, so thank you for your feedback.
Nice video! I've been considering getting a Syntakt as my first groovebox. I've seen you make good tracks on both it and the MPC Live 2. I know Syntakt doesn't have the sampling ability, but for some reason it seems like it would be more inspiring to work with. Which would you recommend between the two?
Thanks for the feedback! It's a really good question and it depends so much on what kind of music you want to make and what kind of sounds give you goosebumps. I just listened to your track Dawnchaser - nice work! If I based my recommendation on your current music alone, I might gravitate towards the MPC because it gives you more flexibility to use those 80s snares and sounds with thick effects like distortion and chorus etc that you might like. But then again I'm thinking of the journey we made ourselves where it was really the Elektron workflow that helped us push our music towards new territories and I wonder if you wouldn't love the Syntakt just as much. You're absolutely right, the Syntakt is incredibly inspiring to work with. But it still has its own distinctive sound whereas the MPC can sound like whatever you feed to it (samples, synths, etc). The Syntakt surprise me more, leading to ideas that I didn't think of myself. The MPC, on the other hand, lets me use my ears and hands more. I'll never part with either of them because they provide such different yet equally fun aspects of the music making process that I appreciate so much. Final note, we record all our music into the DAW so the hardware gear is "just" the starting point. If you're a purist in the sense of wanting to avoid the DAW, then the MPC will get you *much* farther towards a completed song along with a good mix. But if you intend to go for the hybrid workflow (which I can wholeheartedly recommend!), then it matters less that the Syntakt doesn't do sampling or doesn't offer proper mixing tools for its 12 tracks. Something to consider as you're picking between the two. In the end, I truly love both.
Thanks - totally agree! Luckily we have been sitting on the MPC for years so we already have a lot of music lined up from the MPC that we look forward to publishing here over the next few months. Thanks for stopping by and listening to our music!
Since you guys are so much of a Syntakt fans, which is a very different machine, I'm looking fwd to your MPC Live 2 review. I bought it because I was is in the market for a Push 3 type device (basically a mobile standalone Ableton device), which wasn't out yet. So far I've found the Hype a very usable and versatile synth and the MPC platform is getting better and better with all these excellent plugin additions.
Thanks for the comment! It's funny how much of what makes a machine enjoyable comes down to workflow and tactility. On paper, I was sure that the Push 3 Standalone device would win but in practice, it's not nearly that obvious. The MPC just connects with me in a different way. I'm hoping we'll have time to do not just an MPC review, but to go into depth about the workflow we've adopted on it, as well as doing a comparison between the Push and even the Syntakt. The thing they all share is an excellent integration with the DAW, which means that it's less about how capable they are in standalone, since any gaps they have can be filled in the DAW anyway. That I think is why the Syntakt and MPC are currently our favorites over the Push. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, sounds like we share a lot of thoughts on these topics. I do wish the new plugins were cheaper though! 😂
I totally wrote off the modern MPCs because I thought they were too DAW-like. Having now owned the MPC One + for several months, i realized I was wrong. It ticks so many boxes for me in terms of features I’ve always wanted in other devices
It's funny isn't it - people work in different pieces of hardware and the #1 wish is that it just had *that* additional feature and it would be so much better. Then Akai makes a piece of hardware that does it all and suddenly the complaints are about that it's too DAW-like. 😄 Glad you're having fun with the MPC One+, it's really an excellent piece of kit.
Great track! And of course the MPC can do everything :) I still love mine, but I love the Force a little bit more since it has a clip workflow. But there are a lot of similarities between them
Appreciate your comment about the track! Yeah, I would have loved to see the clip workflow implemented and sometimes I actually fake it by creating several tracks for the same program to try combos out. However it can become a bit messy with track mutes unless you're careful so it's not as robust as a proper clip workflow. 😊
@@Expectaz What do you mean with clip programs on the MPC? What I meant was specifically mutes of tracks - to set up eg two bass tracks for two separate bass lines and to mute either of them to play the other one. Is there some other method that I have missed?
@@sinewaymusic Yeah you can create a clip program that contains 4 tracks of 4 audio loops. If you’re on the main screen it’s the “play” icon to the left of the midi icon
@@Expectaz Fascinating - I've had an MPC in three years and I have never even tried the Clips feature. I need to at least check that out as a way to quickly sketch out some ideas to see if it might work. But in all honesty it feels like something that isn't quite meant for what we're discussing here, but more of a way to layer sample loops on top of a beat. Still, worth exploring and I really appreciate you helping me learn something new about the MPC!
Yeah, I've definitely read about it being labeled as a DAW in a box, but the other one about it only being good for hip hop is more uniquely attributed to the MPC line in my experience. Never owned a Maschine but when I was picking between it and the MPC, I remember thinking that the Maschine seemed to have a stronger EDM following. How do you like it?
@@sinewaymusic I really like the Maschine workflow. Especially when you have the Mk3, you can use every VST on your computer, but you can do (nearly) everything from the Maschine controller itself, and it’s quite intuitive.
@@kaykramer9045 Great that there are so many good options for standalone workflows today. At least back in 2021 when I was evaluating the options, Maschine+ was prohibitively expensive so it was unfortunately not something I felt I could consider. The MPC One (my first MPC) was much more affordable and so became my choice. Today I really appreciate the battery life and self-contained design of the Live 2 and find myself using the speaker more than I thought I would, so I think I'm all set with the MPC. More plugin competition would be good though, I wish they'd open it up for third parties like on the Maschine. The 200 EUR price tag for the Jura plugin is just too hard to swallow for me! 😂
Thanks, that's a good suggestion! The workflow has actually changed quite a bit recently too and we've made templates that make it really easy to jam with it live too. Will have a think about it for sure. Thanks again!
Hey there! Looks like you've tested a lot more gear than we have so far. To me personally, the key has always been to push through the initial friction until I really understand the intended workflow and get comfortable enough to do it without thinking. I remember the first day with the MPC, I had to think a lot and I was constantly comparing it against my Digitone and wish this thing over here worked a little different from how they had designed it. But then after a couple of more days I started to forget about those annoyances and just made music instead. The MPC is actually one of the only devices I've owned where I was able to complete a full song in just one day. It's an amazing workflow once you get past the initial bumps. It can be as shallow or as deep as you want it to be. We'll make a video showing the workflow we've adopted with it later this year. Thanks for your suggestion and have a great weekend!
@@jasonjayalap It's definitely a potential rabbit hole if you're making synth music like me. But then again it's about what sounds you really like. I *love* Jura. It's right up my alley. But I'm not sure yet if I'd 'need' any other plugins. You can often widen the sound palette *more* through careful study and sound design with an existing synth than you can by buying a new synth. It's a choice between quick fix and hard work. 😊
And that really says something about the qualities of the MPC coming from someone with such a diverse arsenal of equipment as you. Do you use it mainly as a master sequencer or do you do music on it in standalone too? We got the MPC 3 years ago here too, upgraded from One to Live 2 more recently. It has boosted our productivity so much, it's crazy. Just discovering Ableton Live here, after almost a decade in Reason. 🙂 Appreciate your comment, and thanks for listening in!
Haha, I'd say that they are fun in very different ways! The MPC makes me use my "inner rhythm" more to play what I'm "hearing" in my head on those pads. The Syntakt is more like "wait, that's not what I meant to play but that sounds awesome!" 😂 I seriously love them both.

Good idea! 😂Let's hope we won't be hearing that much in the future. Thanks for listening in! Looks like you're having fun with the Force too. 👌
Also show them Octave one ;)
So true.. Hopping into DnB and Neuro with it too. And I don't mean a jungle or amen chops.
The magic of the MPC! Love this song and looking forward for more to come. 😊
You know it!
This tune is hypnotizing! Love how the melody line gradually changes as the song progresses. Good points on the MPC too.
Hey, thanks for noticing such details. I agree, it's part of what I like about the song too. 😊
What a wonderful composition! I am anxiously awaiting the return of my Live II from Black Lion Audio! They redid all the pre amps & I/O on my MPC X SE and it’s a fantastic upgrade!
@@dncwrx Thank you! You're upgrading to better preamps on your Live 2 or were they damaged?
