Kudos on the Mini D. Don’t need a VST or my Boog so much for wonderful Model D tones. This and OPX4 are my fav plugins.

And that folks, is how you demo a plugin

That Mini D is a good addition to the Key61. Thank you for releasing a plugin that does not have waay too many effects on the presets.

Alright, the MPC Key 61 makes a ton of sense now! Fantastic demo, and fantastic sounding plug-in!

Jack and Andy….very entertaining demo team.

Andy truly is the da MAC

Man, just imagine if these plug-ins were affordable.........the possibilities......

So I installed/Activated the mini d plugin on my MPC One yesterday.... Immediately after fiddling around with it for about two hours.... WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I have owned and used moog Subsequent 37 in the past, by comparison this plugin comes to a superb modeling synth quality, and HAUNTINGLY close to the real thing!! plus 4 voice AND effects! and atleast to my ears (especially after tweaking some knobs) comes fantastically close to the actual synth!!... Given the alternative, this thing at $79.95 or even $99.95 is a STEAL!..recommend to anyone out there debating getting it, go right ahead! DON'T even THINK about not getting this as a plugin for the BARGAIN it really is!!! . AWESOME JOB!...Moog/Akai, whoever collaborated on this!...😱 THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! God Bless you all! Lol... 🙏👍👏👏👏

Love it, all ready happy with the Mellotron and Solina plug-ins. its like have a cake with some icing added to the top

Imagine being off my MPC X over a year. No time working, gigging, etc. I looked up, I was 2.6 software l, this week I updated to 2.12 getting access to the Expansions. I worked with Jura which I love. I just researched Mini and it's killer. I also unlocked OPx-4, and Fabric. I just got a supercharged MPC. Already laid down 3 tracks. Off to lay more now....

I love the mpc plug-ins . They includes really high quality sounds . And the idea behind the mpc platform is in my opinion super dope . ❤️👍 I have a mpc live 2 and its pure joy to make sound

Just a heads up for those using the Tascam Model 12 as a usb interface with their MPC… this new update 2.11.6 didn’t fix the unwanted digital distortion/cracking noise issue introduced in 2.11.5. Had to downgrade back to 2.11.4 to remove unwanted noise.

Andy Roasted that demonstration 🔥🔥🔥😎

A+ demo

I'd love to see the MPC-Key 61 in a synth shoot out. Compared one-on-one against similar priced and cheaper kit, with 4 or 5 octave keyboards. At $79 a plug-in though, the price I feel is on the high side. I think not providing initial additional free expansions on the Key-61 flagship synth will harm sales. Many other flagship synths are expanded free via firmware and gain new features/sounds after release. An interesting keyboard. I think Akai should seriously consider a standalone synth. A traditional synth with regards to layout - without the focus on MPC workflow. I believe there is space for it in the market. Similar to the Key-61, but cheaper. More built-in synth models. More knobs and faders. Less menu diving. But at $1,000-$1,2000 with much more synthesis options and models out of the box.

@tyranic1

You are spot on, i can just see it now. X amount of plugins pre-installed, multiple knobs,faders and buttons with transport controls plus the touch screen and all plugins automatically mapped when a plugin is called up with the option to map to your liking. No drum pads but played on the keys instead. It is definitely achievable and would increase their market share.

@@tyranic1 Akai could remove the touchscreen part to save costs. Put a row of buttons above and below the screen, with many more knobs either side. Then touch wouldn't be needed. If they used a slightly higher resolution screen, they could show split sections for editing, say using 2 halves shown at the same time. The left half of the screen controlled by knobs on the left of the screen. Then use same for the right half of the sound editing GUI. Faster/more efficient synth real-time sound-shaping. Plus, if you remove touch, you don't need to draw the knobs on the GUI. You could just show the values/labels on the screen which update as you turn the knobs. If you can display many more values on-screen, you cut out many pages of parameters.

They have been giving away plug ins away and adding features for the last few years. C’mon. You can get a MPC One, the plug ins, and a MIDI keyboard in the range of the price point you mention.

@@matthewgaines10 I'm on about the recent pay for plugins. Some people just want a more cut down version and prefer having the keyboard version maybe with three bundled instrument plugins minus the screen but with a oled display showing parameters. Also they don't particularly care about the most realistic instruments. Hiphop and that genre is not about that. Akai has got the balance right and some want to stay in that ecosystem.
