    You can have all of the best hardware and software, but talent trumps all of that. You are definitely a talented musician. This song is fantastic.

    Beautiful! With some nice FX, the mini play is great, I use it with the Microcosm for some instant ambient textures

      That is true. In therms of making beautiful sounds synth is only the base for it. Effects are the clue. Love Microcosm possibilities. Hope someday I will get one

    Amazing. I just stumbled across your channel as I start dabbling into mobile electronic music making (or however this stuff is called) after playing analog instruments for my whole life.
    I browsed TH-cam for about two weeks now and I honestly don’t know if I should be happy and thankful for your content or angry that this gem has only 1k subscribers while some completely musical idiots have 300k subscribers.
    Anyways, no bad vibes here … thank you for the inspiration ❤

    So it is possible to use the Akai without any PC? What about Power supply? And since I'm on Android: are you aware of any good live looping apps (with support for external mic)? Thanks in advance.

    • @DJ_Min-X
      @DJ_Min-X 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      It's the Akai mini play. It has build-in sounds and a mini speaker. It's battery powered or via USB an a powebank or so.
      On Android you need an 3-in-1 adapter and you can use koala sampler.

      yeah I wonder if this only sounds good being output to proper speakers, or if it would be decent enough looping the audio back in to the controller, or maybe it all would play from the iphone? So many questions lol.

    I love the theme, really very good. I'm not a fan of AKAI, but I must admit that you use it very well. Now if I liked the theme, I'm always amazed at your hardware arrangements: the iPhone, the AKAI keyboard, and what I assume will be headphones that are out of sight. Very nice really, thank you!

  • @DannyShipleyMusic
    @DannyShipleyMusic 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Question! Can you program the Play for different presets/ sounds that I can just use in a live environment with the keyboard? Or is that just the pad? I want to run a cable into my loop pedal and then run the akai into a regular sound system but I don't like all of the regular sounds the play has to offer...If you can't do this with the akai play, do you know a midi keyboard that does this?

    • @coffebeats
      @coffebeats  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ok if I understand you correctly you want to have different midi / cc preset on each pad for controlling different instruments in your live environment. If yes, then no, Akai can’t have different midi sets assigned to pads. But nanoKEY Studio can do what you want. I use it as controller that triggers different instruments in live setup in my other movies

    Amazing! I was looking for a way to do exactly this.
    Only problem is i'd like a cheaper solution than the AI micro.
    Would you know any cheap alternative?
    I thought maybe it's possible to route the signal to the microphone contact in the headphone jack of my android, but for this i'd have to make the signal much weaker (like with a make shift attenuator or sth, would you know of a serial build of sth like that?).
    Thanks for the great video! :)

I want a tiny budget interface that sound good for Garage Band and Korg Gadget 😉

    • @coffebeats

      Hey. Rode and UM2 are great interfaces, but they are not improve sound as they are. You need add some internal effects in Loopy or other DAW to have this sounding as you want. For UM2 and iPhone setup you will need external usb power
