This was a very nice and comprehensive introduction. I'm new to Akai. And look forward to learn fast so I can have fun with it. It looks like big fun! Thanks 🙏👍
I’m very thankful for the “very” detailed video that you have produced. It has save me a lot of time and frustration that I’ve been having learning the MPC Studio mk2. Keep up the great work brother!

The level of self-control displayed by this man, not ripping off that tiny screen sticker 😅 beyond belief - also, this video might be one of the very best ones on using the MPC Studio MK2 🔥🔥
Man you have a new subscriber your around my age I’ve been DJ and 1979 mixmaster Ice taught me how to DJ been collecting records since 79 not very techy, had Serato for a couple of years just bought my MPC Studio II watching your video now
I haven’t watched the whole video but I wanted to take some time out to express my gratitude! Thank you so much man I appreciate this more than you know 🙏
your video quality with having the hardware and software so big is better than the official masterclass from Akai, there isnt many tuts in this hardware, as most MPC users flex on the stand alone stuff. I come from Maschine Micro, and Maschine +, and the + didn't fit in my rig, and was disappointed with the vst support, this kit just feels more preem than the micro, but I feel they left stuff out on purpose, there is many buttons that don't have shift functions, lost opportunity to not reach for a mouse. it could have so easily been a mouse free workflow. anyway, appreciate your work 🤙
@@SampleKingsVideos Yes, I managed to find, but I find it unfortunate to have to use the mouse to do it in the MPC 2 software, doing it entirely on the machine would be great. But hey that's already good, otherwise it would take at least the MPC One to see the MPC Live, Thank you !!
Hi, I am new user of MPC. And I would like to ask 2 questions. 1.can I ad more instruments into pads A from left side from program plugins, I think more different plugins in one pads group, or it is possible only from right side from samples etc?2. Is somewhere good forum or live chat to talk about functions programing etc in MPC Studio mk2?
Crazy question please. Thanks for the pointers!! If you are working on a project, say Project 01 with say 80s drum beats. So you dump the 80s drum beats in Project 01. OK, get all that! Problem I am having or don't get is, if you end up with say 10 to 20 tracks, So you move to track 2, 3,4,5 and so on, can I dump say Vocals, Synth, and more in onto track 2 and use say Synth track 3, and so on? And when you press play, all the tracks 1,2,3 and on, will play togeather, is that right ? Or have got this all screwed up here? BIG learnning curve, trying to get it sorted in my head, I keep screwing something on this on this front!! Or , do I have to open a new project 02, and project 3 to move several sound types over !
Appreciate the video man! Do you know if there's a way to change the brightness of the pads at all? Just got mine the other day and thays the only thing that bugs me about it when I'm using it at night
@@djmindcontrol1 I can automate other effects with the touch strip like on the program where it shows the little automation logo. I’m beginning to think that maybe the touch fx load in the masters in order to use the on a live performance on something.
@@EZ-nc8fr I have the same problem I used automation, record, and overdub none of them recorded the strip effects. I could only achieve it by using the insert and double click on it and enable it manually which make the Touch FX useless for recording.
Anyone prefer using one of these to a midi keyboard? Seems like an easy way to play chords for people who don't know music theory. Or do you definitely still need a keyboard too?
Hi! Thanks for the video. I have a problem, how can I use the touchstrip during the recording ? I activated record, I pressed the pad and I pressed the touchstrip at the same time to have FX effects, but when I listen the sample there is no FX.
Greetings @SampleKings Thanks for your Content. is there a way to turn down the main volume in "Sample Edit" ? the volume is about 10x louder than how i set my samples volume in programs to avoid clipping/distortion, but when i go in sample edit they are way too loud . Im using the MPC Studio Black. any help would greatly be appreciated.
@@SampleKingsVideos yea that sucks big time man, everyother application has a option to control volume for this sort of thing. i hope they catch up to the times
@@misterkyatproductions 1 day they just might get it done but I just do all my sample edits and if I have to go back to sampling I just remember to lower the volume.
Can the MPC studio Mk2 output individual drums to separate mixer channels within a DAW when used as a plug in? I want to keep making patterns, edits, switch patterns all without committing to audio until the end of the composition process. I just want to mix the drums within MOTU Digital Performer live and also output individual drums out the audio interface separate outputs for mixing analogue. Can I mix MPC studio Mk2 drums in a DAW mixer as a plug in without committing to audio?
In step sequencer mode, how do i access the second set of 16 steps in a 32 step sequence? I tried the +/- , doesn't work. Note before i tried doing that i was stuck in pitch mode. I cant ever exit pitch mode, unless i go to a different mode.. which still doesnt allow +/- to controller the sequencer. Hitting "main" didnt help either.

ordered one and know it's a huge learning curve so getting started before it's even shipped hah thx mate
Great video! I have the MPC and was really looking for a tutorial, glad I found your video!
Got mine yesterday….need to learn everything about this unit. Not new to Mpc but I want to learn. Thanks for the help bro 😎
HHAH I got myone today, and completely new to all of this. BIG learning curve.
Your welcome.
Looks very simple, however, this tool is very powerful with MPC Software. If you see what Andy does from AKAI, it makes you crazy!
Can't believe I never saw this when I first got mine. This will be a help going forward. Thanks and happy new year
Happy new year too! Glad it was helpful!

Hello, how to use the STEP SEQ, mode + pad 15?
You will need to understand step edit in the software more to master step edit with MPC studio 2

@@SampleKingsVideos Thank you for this video!!!
Very good video
Can we get a renaissance mpc 2 instructional?
We have a MPC Renaissance.
got the video for the Renaissance forgot we posted it I did it so long ago. th-cam.com/video/VHX0nPTwaew/w-d-xo.html
Very good video. Is the MPC Studio MK2 (and its software) still updated by Akai in 2024 ?
Glad it helped.
Thanks for the video! Would love to go through it, but do you have the files for PC?
My English ist very bad, but i wanna say thank you, you very help me to use the mpc studio 🙂
Just got my MPC very helpful

Glad I could help pleased sub more is coming thanks.

Sample king can you do a tutorial on how to use the sound packs like a one shot etc..
Appreciate the video man! Do you know if there's a way to change the brightness of the pads at all? Just got mine the other day and thays the only thing that bugs me about it when I'm using it at night
You should be able to go to preferences and then go to pads. You should go change the brightness and the consistency of the head on the path as well.

hi, if I record my drum on one track and the melody on another, can they be mono and poly?
Can i install any vst plugin on the Mpc software ?nice tut
I've had no problems so far.
How do you automate the touch strip effects? I hit the write button but it doesn’t automate anything that I do with the touch strip.
Maybe in the mixer window? I did see the efx in that mixer window for masters. Maybe has an engage button?!
@@djmindcontrol1 I can automate other effects with the touch strip like on the program where it shows the little automation logo. I’m beginning to think that maybe the touch fx load in the masters in order to use the on a live performance on something.

How good is this controller at controlling 3rd party SoftSynths? Is there a dedicated controller function?
No, only akai gear and softsynths I never used third party…
Maybe you can control plugin in the MPC software. I know you can have third party plugs in the software, but have'nt tried it out.
I can’t get nova to work it picks it up but can’t find it in vst like arcade
how to change time correct ?
Hi! Thanks for the video. I have a problem, how can I use the touchstrip during the recording ? I activated record, I pressed the pad and I pressed the touchstrip at the same time to have FX effects, but when I listen the sample there is no FX.
Can you do it in the software? If so then they may need to update.
Not sure why im not getting any sound/ audio? Not sure what preference to select. Im on a gateway laptop. Just stuck and have so many creative ideas

How do I find my master class template I went to file like you did Master Class not there it said something else.
How to change sequence length from MPC? How to move MPC to next bar in sequence? On MPC Studio mk2 it does not work, only on standalone MPC.
Hope someone can help me with the next doubt:
Can I sample stuff from TH-cam or Spotify using this MPC ?
Sure! Just copy the video internally with software one good software I use is screenflow.
just plug your cell phone into your audio interface line input open mpc and sample all day

No it's just a controller, you'll need and MPC x, or LIVE II or MPC ONE for some of that.
@@SampleKingsVideos I mean within the MPC software.

I guess it's not possible since you are not responding, but responding to other new comments
BUG? Navigating bars with locator does not update the pads, so sequencer is not working. On standalone it is working.
How do you delete individual notes on a track you may have screwed up with, anyone ?
I would also like to know. This works on standalone MPC...
Undo button on mpc controller
Erase feature
You forgot plugins, including 3rd party?
Didn’t forget it’s about the MPC Studio and how it works.
@@SampleKingsVideos ok man. But it can be done via MPC studio
WHAT ABOUT THE MUSIC THOUGH
shit complicated as hell
Take your time you can do it.
Man I’m struggling
