AKAI MPC Beats for Free


Wibbles

Recommended Posts

I got my links about 24 hours after applying.
Haven't installed it yet but it looks like a light version of the full MPC software v2 (which I have installed).
Basically it's similar (but not quite the same) as NI's Maschine.

when i played with it, the MPC software was more advanced and more feature rich than Maschine.

That a big statement ...can we have per step modulation like in gehist or motu bpm ...?

So... 

Has anyone installed this and if so what are your opinions?

Having recently got a new computer, I've decided that the only way to keep it running smoothly is not to install any software. None whatsoever.

It's the only way.🤪

i am a big maschine user. but the Akai software tends to get a little more towards a DAW than Maschine. it seemed to have features many Maschine useres have been complaining about lacking in Maschine. we shall see what 2021 brings. Rumors are abound that NI are turning Maschine into more of a DAW

What can this AKAI beats do that Cakewalk or similar cannot? Its effectively another DAW? 

I will grant you this .. obviously it integrates very well with may MPC Mini 2.

 

Actually THIS Video pretty much answers my Qs above

 

One Q remains though. It says making a house track BUT it seems to be similar to Fruity Loops and here he just creates a pattern looped. Does not explain about going on to making a WHOLE track

Sort of answered here :D

 

I was looking for a SONG MODE ( similar to Fruity and Reason )

I see over at CAKEWALK for Bandlab Group on Facebook people having difficulty with MPC Beats in CW as a plugin:

Posted by Jon Piro: "Does anyone use MPC Beats with Cakewalk? I just can`t make it load kits. It hangs forever and i have to force it to quit which crushes the daw, of course..."

A response: "Same issue here.. I can get it to pull up but cant load anything.. It does work stand alone and in my FL and Reaper.. But cakewalk freezes then crashes.. I even loaded the 2020.7 version that just released same issue.."
