chris.r Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Are there any free 3rd party MPC expansions? Would Beats open them? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteven Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) So... Has anyone installed this and if so what are your opinions? Does it work for Rock&Roll, Blues, Country, Jazz, Easy Listening, Hip Hop or even Alaskan Moose Funk? Edited July 23, 2020 by TheSteven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristian Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) 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.

Rumors are abound that NI are turning Maschine into more of a DAW Edited July 24, 2020 by telecode 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan o driscoll Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 I was looking for a SONG MODE ( similar to Fruity and Reason ) Edited July 24, 2020 by aidan o driscoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan o driscoll Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I see over at CAKEWALK for Bandlab Group on Facebook people having difficulty with MPC Beats in CW as a plugin: https://www.facebook.com/groups/333570523387557/ 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.."

aidan o driscoll Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 @Wibbles That Ave McRee vid is very good .. Some real nice quick tools in MPC Beats to get drums and chords and sequences up fast especially if you have an AKAI Board like the MPK Mini. The PADS can be setup to play whole chords with just one pad pressed for a whole chord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddy Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I'm really impressed with the Akai MPC Beats, how it does what it does. This could be 'my perfect' music/beat making software. Thanks to Akai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
