@kobamoto niceee. Thanks!
ILL gates is hilarious but he's quite knowledgeable... and always mentions things that you wouldn't hear from someone else

I can't watch it yet; I'm at work. Let me know if it's good
lol
Just watched this over my work break. Great tips and pretty entertaining. Makes me want it even more now! lol. Damn
That's great news about drum program time stretching.
Re: ILL gates video. I didn't know about using the pads as sample editing sub-commands. He does it at around 18:40. Here's a screenshot from page 106 of the manual:
Suddenly, pads on the left isn't annoying me.
Particularly pads 5-8. The way he says it, it sounds like this is an old MPC feature. Is it?
Here's another video -- a little over 18 minutes long...
yep it's one of the standard mp features.
I thought I was the only one who was annoyed with the placement of the pads.... I wish at least the Q-links were on the left of the pads so that I could tweak the knobs while triggering pads
crzy
I'm glad I kept my OP-1. I have such a handle on it, that it's easy for me to get something started with it, sample, etc., then I can track out to the Live later. Easy to take to work for lunch and stuff.
RE that video... if you double-tap the note repeat button, you will latch it. No need for those contortions.
I thought you would, the mpc live is too big, in this day and age they could have kept the design but made it thin like the new electribes, or the maschine mikro. I realize there's allot of stuff in it but there are lots of other electronics with more in them that are thinner and lighter, I wish they had went their remix 16 ratio of thickness. It's definitely portable, even everyday portable , but I wouldn't call it everyday all day long everywhere you go portable.
Well, the Electribes suck, and the Mikro is a controller. The OP-1 is really a triumph of form and function. It's unbelievable what a little creativity can net you, with that little box.
That said, I don't regret the Live one bit. It's an awesome and deep sampler.
I think the mpc live is a beast in the right hands, but I was only talking about how thick it is, it's the kind of beat machine I'd want to keep on my person at all times
anyways I have no doubt that the next version will be thinner and lighter cause I'm sure when the competition comes out the weight and size will be one of the areas they try to hit....
what I'm hoping before long before all of that and relatively soon is that they update it with probability and p.locks
Can anything other than note on/off and velocity be programmed into the step sequencer? Like CCs or gate time?
good question, I don't know.... in the pre-ren mpcs cc's can be recorded, but kids these days don't need stuff like that as it clutters up their idea of the future which often equates to a loop with no variation grrrr, grumble grumble grrrr
wow if true, on gear slutz I read that P.locks are confirmed in an update, if their minds can remain this open and we can get probability too oh lordy me!
after further reading I can't find the basis for the reason this guy said that, so it might not be accurate... fudge, I hate misinformation !

you absolutely can automate CC#s. Add a midi program, and you can assign the knobs to any MIDI cc, it will record cc's from external sources, and you can edit up to 96 different midi CC's directly in Program Mode. you can build a cc control list and save it as something like "virus" or whatever and save it, then when you load it all your knobs are set how you like as well.

again from dan
"In a future update, we plan to let customers assign their own note arrangement. I personally, want chromatically up from 36"
finally
Can anyone who already got it confirm that you can record guitars through those inputs?
Also, I don't remember since I had the Ren & the touch, but can you monitor your guitar with effects, but record the dry signal? or it prints the effects on the recording?
Also, can anyone try connecting a Core Audio interface to those USBs?
I have an Amplify 30 and I'm curious if I can connect it as an audio inteface directly via USB
USB: 2x type A (for expanding storage, and tantalizingly for “controllers” – it seems there’s USB host support for MIDI), 1x type B (for computer connections)

for example, the cheapest laptop is thin enough
exactly, there's a plethora of laptops that are thin and light.
@syrupcore, ... dan from akai "we support input from devices that show up as standard class compliant devices. Unless there's a way for the iphone to present itself that way as a controller, I don't think this will work. It's like plugging a male connection into a male connection. both devices are expecting to be the one in control.
Intelligent probability would be pretty great... hmm...

I went into my local music store and they said they will not have stock of mpc live until the end of the month. Now that I know I can't have it now, I'm losing my mind. At the same time, I can also save up some more money
Ok, I'ma gonna come straight out and just say it. I don't like hip hop. Do I still need an MPC Live?
The Mpc was created for Rock Musicians originally, so if you don't like rock you should steer clear, otherwise you're good. Think of it like a guitar, you tell it what notes and genre to play.
It's not made for hip hop. It's just that a lot of hip hop producers flipped its features to great effect, literally expanding the musical vocabulary of the genre. And a lot of that music is now iconic, and those iconic styles are known to be reproducable with an MPC, a lot of hip hop makers turn to it first. It was just as popular, for a time anyway, with house and big beat in the UK. Most of the demos we saw before it was released were from Akai UK and most of them were some variant on house music.
I don't think it'd be particularly useful for standard rock stuff at this point. Though it's still a solid drum computer (with layered sampling abilities), 8 tracks of audio and a looper. Maybe kinda pricey to just use it for that stuff though.
think of. it like a record player, you can play any kind of record on it.
But at $1200 you might think of it as having two SL1200s and nice DJ mixer with effects when all you want to do is play a record. Sure, it can play records but...
