The last time I saw a complete song being done all in one go on a workstation in that short a time it was on a Roland Fantom and I bought that baby. I am going to buy this one too. Drums and instruments with superior sequencing wow. 🤩

Andy Mac has the coolest job ever. So frikkin talented too! 👊🧡👍

Andy Mac is Awesome. The Reason I bought the MPC Live.

This is why whenever a kid tells me they want to get into music production I tell them to take piano lessons.

Some of the top producers in the game can’t play piano and don’t know theory… and that’s a fact.

@@PianoMan-hx3ev Very subjective… Especially when they’ve went several times platinum. You don’t need to know how to play piano to be a great producer. We both know this

Its about damn time...remember the openlabs miko ...this is amazing!!!

it was great idea but way to clunky I've been waiting for the return to that idea and Akai pulled it of

How many ppl wishing they hadn’t purchased those MPCs and NOT knowing this was coming down the line? Hit that 👍🏾 button….

Just this. Young. man. Can play good with. 61 keyboard he is professional musician. Thank you

Great video! It was nice to meet you this week.

This is amazing for people who can't understand how to use computers or a real DAW. 👏

Nice! This looks promising.

CT got the guns 💪🏾 looking swollen 💪🏾. I see you bro

I'm liking the new sounds!

Thank you Cleveland!!!

Akai MPC version an answer to the Andromeda on crack… Definitely getting this one

So far, I’ve only seen two styles of music composed on this keyboard: Hip-Hop and dance. Let’s say I want to write a song in the style of Toto’s Africa, how would that be done?

I use an MPC Groovebox for ambient and prog rock so TOTO not really a problem. It’s like any DAW though it has its limitations which can be annoying and also workflow quirks. It’s entirely down how you feel about it whether it’s workflow is right for you.

Need this right now please God

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the overall maximum polyphony using the base sampled sounds and the expected polyphony using the onboard synth models, pianos and ep's. Just wondering since these days, 128 to 256 voices of polyphony are becoming more of the standard for workstation synths.

I thinks it's 192

I wonder how difficult it is to lay down a couple layers on keys and then sample and chop that on the pads in box?

Woah...Akai closed the gap to its competitors...after more than 5 years... Those mad lads of akai might even go so far and offer it in a different color at namm '23 Their sigma grind mentality is pure savage^^

This thing seems really cool but I already have aLive 2 so I feel like it wouldn't make sense for me rather than just getting a NI or Roland keyboard. I could always get the new plugins when the price drops to normal levels. Very cool device though.

Love this keyboard with the extra only thing I want to knew Is the ram upgrable. 4gig is a bit small.

Its not but it is Double the ram of all other stand alone MPC and trust me it needs it. Very disappointed in the lack of sd slot lack of control knobs. If they release a retro color way on the Key 61 I'd lean strongly on adding one to the studio

Could you add drum samples to a Dj performance? W this live?

Yes but you may want to go with just the pad versions due to space.

There's no SD card slot and the USB ports it's not enough room for a USB stick.
