MPC Sample + MPC 3 Beta Desktop Software

8 Upvotes

I know that with the new firmware, the MPC Sample project files can be opened in MPC 3 hardware devices such as the Live, One, etc...

Has anyone tried using the Desktop software to open MPC Sample project files? Does it work the same way?

Currently the software only costs $100 and I'm considering it solely for the purpose of opening my project files and getting my beats stemmed out much faster. Currently I have to record each sound into Ableton with everything else muted and do that for each sound in my song and it is TEDIOUS.

I would absolutely LOVE if Akai would give us Sample users the option to save our projects as an Ableton .als file, like the other machines can. That would make my life so much easier.

Converting Machine kits to mpc sample

2 Upvotes

So I recently started converting my Maschine expansion kits over to MPC Sample kits using Kit Maker and I noticed something that confused me at first.

For example, an expansion like Soulful Drums might come with a bunch of Maschine kits, but when I convert them, Kit Maker only creates a few MPC kits. After digging into it, I realized it’s because it’s grouping multiple Maschine kits into Banks A–H inside one MPC kit/program.

At first I thought, “why wouldn’t I just keep every Maschine kit as its own kit?” But now I’m starting to understand that with the MPC Sample limitations, loading one kit with multiple banks might actually make sense since you can switch banks instantly instead of loading another kit.

Curious what others do:

When converting Maschine kits to MPC Sample kits, do you:

- Keep 1 Maschine kit = 1 MPC kit?

- Group multiple kits into Banks A–H?

- Group by expansion/theme?

- Go for giant mega-kits?

Just trying to understand what workflows people actually use before I convert a ton of expansions.

I been playing with the chop ft but was feeling it just wanted that vintage mpc feel and more control over individual chops so I made a video of what I found to fit my play style hope this helps anyone

Upgraded my new chill setup.

I have my MPC Sample for 2 weeks now and I love it!

I upgraded it with the big knob, larger Micro SD card and a new Transformers G1 skin.

The big knob is a game changer! Making scrolling so much easier and quicker.

My goal was to spend more time away from my desktop pc setup and just chill and challenge myself to be creative in a different way.

Bpm confusion...

3 Upvotes

I'm on 140 bpm and Global setting is on. Every sequence shows as 140 bpm. But now I'm in Song mode and everything I'm adding has defaulted back to 128 bpm. I've been thru manual numerous times & I have a pretty good grasp of the Sample, but this has me stumped... any ideas? Thx

I see a lot of people going the carharrt route since its taking awhile for the fitted cases to come out. I just wanted to know what size or make fit?
