- Akai MPC Live vs Access Virus - Progressive Melodic House EDM Trance Performance Jam. In this video I used the Akai Force as a master keyboard to jam and record on the MPC Live which controls the Access Virus Synthesizer. One of my favorite synths ever. The sounds that come out of this beauty are amazing.
This track has a melodic arp bassline combined with lush elements of brass like synth and warm and deep pads.
Enjoy the chill beats in this song!
Very Nice sound!!!! I hope to reach this level one day =)
I wanted to ask you how do you work in multi from virus to MPC?
To change the sound/part of the selected multi?
I wanted to understand the preferences/settings to make it play correctly!
I state that I connected the virus to USB
And to connect an external Fx (for example the multistomp zoom) how should it be connected and set?
thanks in advance keep making these videos =)
Hey Andrea, I put the Virus into SEQ mode and let every part have it’s own midi channel. Then I send a program change per channel from the MPC to choose the correct sound. If you want external effects you can set the output for the parts to different outputs
oh wow, rich sound, fantastic quality and harmony, well done! I'm your new Fan
Thanks Aleks!!
Great track, love the synth vibe!
Very nice track. I like the dual melodies!!
Thanks James! Wanted to take a little different approach this time. A fusion between genres with hints of techno,progressive and trance as you know. Also love that the eighties and nineties have a revival. Love the vibe from these eras!
Awesome!!!!!!! Love it!
Awesome track Expectaz.
Sweet sounds. 👍👍👌
Thx Robbie!
Great track! What I need to know is can go easily MSB LSB PC" the Access Virus Desktop via the Multi MIDI Mode on the MPC? Couldn't quite see any programming on the clip.
What I like to do is to have 1 multi but have every sound on its own midi channel. Per channel I send a program change. Never really got into the multi mode. Only the first 16 multis store the actual sound in the multi itself. The others just have references. Than I would rather send them myself 😁
So it can play 16 channels parts or not at the same time? Not sure now?@@Expectaz
@davepaulsaunders Yes you can play 16 parts at the same time. It is limited by polyphony and complexity of patches, but yeah 16 parts is possible! I mostly use 4 at the same time since that’s enough and use other synths too
Figure you can work around that by using other sounds in other parts of the track etc - I think I'm almost convinced @@Expectaz
Yeah you can of course also layer samples and effects to make transitions@@davepaulsaunders
Really nice track. I'd like to hear it by the sea now. Best regards to my beloved neighboring country. . .😀🎶
That means a lot to me from a fellow musician! Just listened to your last track and that sounds amazing! You deserve more followers
@@Expectaz I'm glad, but I think the previous titles are more lively. But of course, it would be great to have more followers. I've been listening to your stuff for quite some time now and I'm always looking forward to new material. Have a nice evening. . . I have to wait until autumn to get back to the North Sea😀🎶
I also don’t visit the sea regularly. Visit germany more often :) On average once a month I guess
hi top performance I work with the snow virus and the mpc live 2 I have a small problem I manage to change the programs but not the sound of the program as I see that you have mastered do you have an idea thanks in advance and good luck
Hi @VAGABL thanks! I send a program change on different midi channels to change the sounds individually. Is that what you mean? Basically it’s in sequencer mode and every sound has its own midi channel to do so
Wow super !
Thanks a lot! I See you also produce techno music?
Hi, thanks to your videos I'm starting to produce with Virus Ti and MPC Live II! I have some problems with the midi sync. I need the Virus clock delay, arpeggiator and sequencing patches to be in sync with the MPC bpm. What parameters have you set on Mpc and Virus? Thank you!
Thanks! I connected the virus with an usb cable. That works better than din midi
@@Expectaz For now I have solved it by putting the same bpm on both the Virus and the MPC, everything is ok! It's so easy changing parameters on the fly and saving them in multi mode! This piece of hardware is simply great...
@@Tirso425 That’s also a solution.. it could be that with longer tracks they will drift apart.. If you set the MPC to send midi clock the virus should follow afaik
@@Expectaz MPC is set to send midi clock, Virus is set to follow external clock. When i slow down or rise MPC's bpm the Virus doesn't follow them, it remains with its own bpm so i have to change them manually to fit the exact bpm 🥺
@@Tirso425 That’s strange, I can change the tempo and the Virus Follows it correctly
Mah man! 🏆
Thanks Arvid!! Love to play with the virus together with these beast machines from Akai 😝
Expectaz love it! Really solid stuff here. 👍🏻
Nice set
Thanks Bruno! I checked your channel and your music is amazing! Where do you come from?
I'm from Irvine California
@@BrunoJaureguiMusic That seems like a great place and probable a little warmer than the Netherlands where I live!
Awesome ! I love it =D Big Ups!
Thanks! I see you’re creating synthwave/retrowave videos yourself? The videos are black so am curious, how are you producing?
@@Expectaz Converted 44.1khz .wav to .mp3 then converted to .m4v and wanted a free solution to get them uploaded to youtube to get a date and time stamp on it, didn't really know why I couldn't upload a thumbnail image for the track, so just left it black. I think if I had the right tools I would've put more time into it so I think when I remix these songs I will put some photography/video to it and then upload them. I have one track like that "I'm Feeling Good" - I know my youtube site is pretty disorganized, lol.
@@Expectaz I'm not good at genre tagging my own music, in fact it's funny I knew someone that used to do that for a living and got quite tedious manually listening to tracks and cataloging them. KLATUU VII is Industrial Gothic from 1990. Others can be Gary Numanish like "On top of the ocean" or the 1988-1990 era uhm, so how I produced these older tracks would've been on the Ensoniq EPS Classic over 3 decades ago but I still have all of the original song/sequences and I used a lot of different vocoders from the 1970s and early 80s. (Alesis, Roland SVC-350, Korg MS-20, VC-10) etc. Fun gear. I replied twice to help clarify your original question since I can't see to well.
Great stuff you make and also in an authentic way. Amazing that you still have your original material! Super to release them like this. You might be able to put some video on top of your audio but you would need a video editor. I use Davinci Resolve which is free. For merging and editing audio with video its great and you can also use vst plugins in the audio mixer so you can master your songs
@@Expectaz Thanks a lot. I know right. Still have my legacy gear, to re-create, re-engineer, re-produce for everyone's listening ear =D
I agree with putting video on top of a lot of songs, in fact, I have old video footage to this music on a VHS tape and really cool video footage of an art museum here. I think people might like it, if I can find the video - I'll convert then upload it.
I think a big issue for me would be I get a bit over concerned about the old 4Track audio quality, is that actually something others factor in? I think the degradation of my old cassette tapes show how old the recordings actually are - and the older recordings were converted over 10 years ago and the original master cassette tapes put away.
It's good to hear you say you like my music. I kind of kept most of my music underground for decades and thinking of releasing some old funny stuff off an album I did with an old bandmate. I'll give him credit but put it on my page when I get that converted.
It'll be on an album named PIVOT

"Rrrrrrraaaa..."
Thanks! love to create these vibes :)
Thank you for "Rrrrrrrraaaaa...." =)
@@Expectaz looooove the Rrrrrrrraaaa
Thanks @HAS was a funny sound when I made it and heard that from more people. Just having fun 🤩
lovely, almost didn't click. My virus been at repair shop for 1.5 years. It's never coming home :( makes me sad most expensive synth I ever bought.
damn that’s sad. what happened?
@@Expectaz audio crackles. More complex the patch worse it is. Access local repairer said it needs new mobo. Had another shop replace every capacitor. His been talking to access. They currently think the dsp is the fault. Keeping my eye out for a faulty one to get parts from
Damn that’s nasty. Hope they’ll figure it out. understand that it might be difficult if it’s the dsp.
Amazing ! but for what u need the MPC if u have a Force ???
Thanks! The reason why I still have the MPC is because of live purposes. I have both the Force and MPC connected to a DJM2000 dj mixer from pioneer. That way I can load new songs on the device that's not currently playing. Really awesome with ableton link!
Great combo, and like your style.
Thanks for the video.
Check out our gear, we use a lot of old and new machines combined.
We ❤️ it.
