In this initial version РІР‚Сљpad perform modeРІР‚Сњ allows you to assign, scales, stacked chords, chromatic chords and progressions to the pads. It also sounds hackable РІР‚вЂњ so IРІР‚в„ўd love to see some CDM readers work that out. And while as I said Maschine does the same thing, the way this works with MPC banks is quite appealing. In particular, I was interested in how the pad perform mode works, and how flexible it can be.

I already praised the MPC software for its Direct Record functionality, introduced in 1.7. HereРІР‚в„ўs a performance video (with artists Needlz & Donut?) that shows how it works РІР‚вЂњ about two minutes in, you can catch the live looper in action: But the implementation here is worth examining, and really focusing on actual sampling, chopping, and looping is something that could make those other tools jealous again.Р”Р‡or an overview, letРІР‚в„ўs first revisit the preview video from December, which Akai tell us РІР‚Сљholds up pretty wellРІР‚Сњ in terms of final shipping functionality: Sure, that pad perform mode looks familiar with NIРІР‚в„ўs Maschine and Komplete Kontrol and AbletonРІР‚в„ўs Push offering something similar. You can record audio input through insert effects (again, focusing on live sampling).Р”В¦. Pad perform mode (scales, chords, progressions).Р”Тђ. A live looper, focusing on the machine as an instrument.Р”В¤. A better workflow for sample capture/chop/edit РІР‚вЂњ yes, remember sampling? The MPC hasnРІР‚в„ўt forgotten.Р”Р€. This is a very small world, indeed, when it comes to MIDI engineering.)Р”РЋ. (Trivia: AkaiРІР‚в„ўs Pete Goodliffe was responsible years ago for the early iOS MIDI library PGMidi. And so the folks working on that software got in touch with CDM to tell us more about it, in some detail.

The 1.8 update released today actually does quite a lot. But youРІР‚в„ўd be wrong РІР‚вЂњ and thatРІР‚в„ўs a good thing, too. YouРІР‚в„ўd be forgiven for assuming that something called РІР‚Сљ1.8РІР‚Сњ wasnРІР‚в„ўt terribly big news. That makes any software updates a big deal. Native InstrumentsРІР‚в„ў rival Maschine got to the software game first, but now itРІР‚в„ўs a question of how the MPC can again set itself apart. So, workflow is vitally important.Р”Р„nd MPC users who cut their teeth on AkaiРІР‚в„ўs dedicated hardware have been waiting to see the software/controller combination really come into its own. But to die-hard MPC users, РІР‚СљMPCРІР‚Сњ means a way of working. РІР‚СљMPCРІР‚Сњ these days is a name on a lot of Akai stuff, down to even various MIDI controllers that happen to have pads. No, no standalone MPC hardware at the moment, but 1.8РІР‚в„ўs software features might help you forget that. Akai artist Needlz set up this MPC+computer rig with Renaissance РІР‚В¦ in a hotel room ( to get out of the house).
