Dude. Sick playing. Seriously. Thanks for the video. I have both, and you just convinced me that it’s okay to let my MODX go. I’m tired of wrestling with it and trying to get to get to play nice with my other gear. While the Akai is happy to work with other hardware and software. 👍
yamaha em piano. akai em rhodes. akai em organ + leslie. mas é também uma questão de gosto. Akai ainda tem muitas opções para editar o som de forma a conseguir melhor resultado final. Só foi pena não comparares também os strings. estou mesmo a ponderar adquirir um. Nuno, muito obrigado mais uma vez pelo teu trabalho.
Layering. Modx sounds are often 5,6 or 7 voices layered on top of each other. The modx is better for live use. The Akai is better behaved and plays well with other in a recording environment. Between my Akai and Halion 7… my MODX is getting sold. It just doesn’t want to play nice with my other gear. The Akai is close enough, and is much easier to integrate with other equipment.
@@kellygreenii Yes, layering. And that's why I love the full bodied sounds of the MODX, but I feel it's a little more than just that. I still have the Fabric Collection on my PC running in Cubase, and it sounds better than the Akai ie that sparkle and punch in the sound is present, so maybe it's something in the output stage on the Akai just doesn't do it for me. Both the Akai and Cubase were running through a Focusrite Scarlett and Tannoy Gold 7 monitors. I had a similar experience years ago with my Korg 01WFD compared to my Korg X2. Same sounds and architecture, but the X2 just didn't have that sparke of the 01WFD. Fast forward almost a thousand years, and many workstations later, I actually sold my Korg Kronos 2 to get the MODX because I found it sonically superior, so I guess I'm just tuned in to the Yamaha sound. I'm glad you found the Akai works for you.
@@onlymeCC Happy for you too. I have always loved that Yamaha sound. But MODX doesn’t play well with others unless it’s the central hub….and that just doesn’t fit into my setup, and after a year of battling its quirks, I was done.
Hmmmm... Now I can really hear the sound-quality on the MPC. To me, it sounds like AKAI's system is on the same quality with CASIO what you see in Target/Walmart. Lol. Now I know. I will buy Yamaha MODX6. Thanks comparing both item. I apreciated.
When you played the Rhodes on the MPC Key at 3:47 was that a preset or tweaked? I'm trying to get a good smooth Rhodes sound out of it with not so much of the bell sound and feel like I'm struggling.
Excelente vídeo. Bons conteúdos. Descobri o seu canal á uns dias. No entanto, algumas comparações convém ter atenção aos mfx que estão atribuídos de fábrica. Ou muito me engano ou o akai, no som de ep suitcase penso que já tem chorus e talvez um ligeiro pan, ou tremolo. O da yamaha está mais cru, o que para quem não percebe, pode induzir que o akai é mais agradável ao ouvido. Bom trabalho. 👍
Just stumbled on this video. AKAI is definitely more analog sounding for piano and elec piano. Organ is subjective, AKAI leslie much better, Yamaha kinda warmer but B3 tones have unusual harmonics, AKIA though brighter is more accurate.
The MPC has a warmer professional studio sound vs the brighter home studio sound on the MODX. I'll plan to go with the MPC key 61; 6000 sounds vs 1350 sounds
Yamaha sounds tend to be tuned bright, just attenuate trebles with EQ, et voila, likely what you want afterwards. Alternatively, brighten Krome EX or Nautilus by boosting trebles to match Yamaha or Roland gear. This generation, Korg is unrivaled for sound quality, to my ears as far as these workstation keyboards. Everyone swings towards Yamaha instead, but they are also people with zero understanding of sound design and mixing. The Akai MPC Key 61 impressed me when I heard it locally long ago, but only for certain sounds. For others, I wound up preferring Korg, Yamaha, or Roland equivalents from Krome EX, Juno-DS, FA, MODX, or MOXF. The Akai has its strengths, but in summary, I feel it is not for me. It's a great keyboard, nevertheless. Then add in that venue speakers are terrible everywhere around here and my Juno-DS and Kross2 are just total overkill in quality already. For building tracks at home, Kontakt has me covered for acoustic sounds, even though I don't use acoustic sounds much.
Um desperdício de tempo comparar os dois teclados. O modx é uma piada de crianças. O meu vendi-o ao fim de dois meses e perdi umas centenas. Até o moxf tem um som mais orgânico e natural. O Akai leva-nos para outro mundo, novo, admirável. Chegou aqui há 2 semanas.🙂
@@josenascimento6705 awesome ! Ordered mine in a few days ago . Can’t wait - yet how can I get around the 88 me delema ? I know Akai has a midi 88 road hammer key board- would be great if that could be plugged into the MCP 61 and allow 88 keys 🎹
The organ emulation on the Akai is horrible. For the rest they both have excelent quality, on the Akai the piano sound is beyond realistic, I can smell the wood of the piano on the speakers

Achei o som da Yamaha mais "aberto" do que o som da Akai MPC .
Grande Nuno 💪💪💪🌿🌿🌿🌿
O Upright do Akai é lindo!!!

I have both. Sat in front of both, the MODX sounds are FAR better.

Did you do any EQ adjustments ?
@@kellygreeniiinteresting . Thank You

Nice video. The Akai Keys is really good on piano and e-pianos the organs need work though.

Could be EQ settings
@@maximumguitarage that easily throws people off, but they don't care

Nice vid should do guitars and sax and drums

Bom trabalho. 👍
But where do you get the sound for akai? Piano, gitaar, strings, drum kits

I've only own Yamaha keyboards but I'm looking to buy a Akai mpc one
Great stuff, new subscriber…👌
Akai mpc 61 top

How’d it go ? I am on the fence between the MPC 61 and Yahmaha modx+88
