Akai is the next generation of work stations
We need bag for it or super soft case
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
At what point in this bs trip did people become so lazy minded they began to believe quantized time was “correct” . It is missing the point.

crazy
this video was so awesome, such a chill watch, the legend Illa J bringing such good vibes.
One for the ages.
Salute to the Akai team and the Yancey family ❤
Anderson shop you have to be honest you too when you bring a guy like Andy Mac trying to make us buy shit products & after we spend money we got the product is not working right, I am sure you are aware of all this but the story these days became let’s make bussiness only & don’t be Honest, my expectations for Akai they will not stay long, the company ho shit there customer never live long, & it’s there first time they will fail they did it before many times, so my best regard to Mr Andy Mac & Anderton for being not honest A selling & promoting Shit, this Akai company they don’t know how to make a software that is not buggy they are expert in Bugs, BRAVO
My Akai Mpc Key 37 that I bought arrived yesterday from Thoman & not able to activate my plugins etc. like many other people , I put in the carton is going back to Thoman for a refund well done Akai I hope you loose Money like you made me loose money & time, because I had to pay customs on it that i will not take back , Bravo Mr Andy Mac, I think you need to change your name to Mr Andy PC IBM because you are full of bugs & not honest with these video you make , you are not responsible too
I ADVICE ALL CUSTOMERS DON’T BUY THIS DEVICES OR ANY OTHER DEVICE FROM AKAI THER UPDATE PLUGIN SYSTEM SERVER HAS LOT’S OF PROBLEMS DON’T PAY MONEY & find yourself can’t activate your plugins like what happened to me & many other, I warn everybody here, if you don’t listen you will regret then after this blame yourself that you didn’t took the advice of other customers ho had problems from AKAI, FULL STOP
That David Brent fist bump 🤜 … 😂
Great that Illa J is given this platform. Yancey Boys…let's go! 🔥
Andy Wack …at it again.. still promoting shiit products… be careful this Mofo will… block anyone for asking a simple question…
He keeps saying, “I practice on my piano”
Caution! Major Midi Bug since the first MPC of this model series in 2018. That's a long time and shows the ignorance of the manufacturer. We now have 2024 and MPC Software Version 2.13. Before anyone gets blinded, they should be aware of this bug. After the initial euphoria, frustration could quickly set in. You may have bought additional Air sounds like Air Stage Piano and so on and simply want to integrate the device into your DAW environment, like your Roland Integra7 or something. Then at the latest you notice that it doesn't work! You will be very surprised about your MPC Midi (in). If the same notes arrive at the same time (example C2), only one note length is possible on all 16 MIDI channels. Always the shortest. Your sustained violin tone on midi channel (1) suddenly corresponds to a 1/32 bass on midi channel (2). 'Note off' on all MIDI channels.
In my opinion, MPCs are not suitable for studio use. The possible workflow is simply too one-dimensional. A Midi (in) should already correspond to the standard. Even a Korg M1 from the nineties can do that.
You essentially buy a car that can only steer to the left. If you ask the manufacturer, you will get the bold answer: The car drives! What do you want?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can you have native instruments plugins and other plugins in it
Andy Mack is official plz make a tutorial step by step in using this machine 🎹
I want to see Key 37 user's compete in a beat battle competition for the best groove beat or short songs… C'mon Andy put it together I'm talking Live Platinum Mode! All I want is 10% of the profits Akai frfr game changer distribution for the production line because some guy are very skilled to inspire others with there sound and performance on the new unit on what can be achieved
Illa J making that beat in real time then freestyling over it is one of the most creative things i've seen on youtube.
Also, Andrew Huang and Rob Scallon do album in a day videos every year, check them out!
This is just awesome for the spontaneity of creation. Looking forward to entering the world of MPC with this gem.
So basically this is an mpc X/Live with a midi keyboard attached. The workflow seems just as bad as ever.
Pro Tip: stop adjusting your levels with the faders. use the drum efx gain feature or the level knob in the sample tab.
I keep telling them the program edit is the most powerful screen on the MPC good to see it actually used Salute to Illa J.., Im thinking about getting one… but idk still… still rocking the force, the one and the live 2…
((((((((((( ILLA J ))))))))))) Salute.
DOPE !!!!!!!!!!
All it needs is more ram and a speaker. Then it would wipe the floor with everything else.
OK.. Im assuming that what illa J said made sense to everyone ?. I had no idea what he in the intro lol. God I'm old.
But the pads are shitty. Double hits here and there. Rubbish. Please also dont talk about the old days every time a digital instrument comes out. We know how hard it was its not like that anymore for a while!
Still bumpin yancey boys, album knocks
I wish it had speakers behind the keys like the MircoKorg🙏
Why isn't this like viral already now after one day.? Don't understand. This shit I straight out of the heart music making.
