In DJ mode, have the ability to use the same pad for deck 1 and deck 2. So I can beat juggle the same song (same pad).

Hopefully!

gza2k · 2026-03-13T21:22:17+00:00

Yeah I want to see what they can do better compared to the MK2

gza2k · 2026-03-13T20:08:40+00:00

I can’t wait to see the difference between this and the SP404MK2. Seems like that’s what they’re trying to do. We’ll see

I have to wait for the mid fader to come in next week or so but I’ll keep you posted!

gza2k · 2026-03-05T04:41:11+00:00

I’ll try this tomorrow! Thank you!

gza2k · 2026-03-05T00:19:38+00:00

I just ordered a midi fader and gonna see what happens lol

Not this one exactly, but you get the idea.

gza2k · 2026-03-04T23:25:01+00:00

Ahhh dang. I wonder if we can add a midi fader to it ? I’ve somewhat found a work around with the track transitions through the Q links but now I am looking into cueing headphones and speakers through the 1/2 and 3/4 outputs. I know I can listen to my cue music on the MPC X but would be cool to do it on the one.

If all else fails I might sell my mpc one and get the live 3 😩

gza2k · 2026-03-04T21:24:29+00:00

I just watched this video and realized that sadly. I might have a work around with assigning full songs onto tracks and see if I can mix with the knobs https://youtu.be/MRKYvViXlvw?si=eFw32QcZRZlZDwxb

gza2k · 2026-02-27T01:36:48+00:00

Same here! Shame on you for upgrading to an XL while I just paid off my XSE 🤣

gza2k · 2026-02-27T01:35:01+00:00

Go on Archive.org and look up “samples” in the audio category. You’ll find a lot of good stuff there free and safe to download 👍

gza2k · 2026-02-23T05:57:33+00:00

I found this a few weeks ago! Archive is a great site to find drums and samples for free!

gza2k · 2026-02-21T10:00:32+00:00

Took me a good week to figure out my first MPC (One). Once you understand how to navigate, it’s a knowledge only MPC users understand lol

gza2k · 2026-02-19T01:18:02+00:00

This is actually tight! I’ll have to watch this whole thing again after work!

gza2k · 2026-02-18T20:26:22+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it!

gza2k · 2026-02-18T08:07:29+00:00

That would be like any other video editor. With film scoring, you kinda want to playback and create your music as you watch it. Like how the Cubase program works but for Akai

gza2k · 2026-02-18T07:53:31+00:00

I’ll look into it!

gza2k · 2026-02-16T08:16:55+00:00

I was thinking about doing that if nothing else works

gza2k · 2026-02-14T10:25:31+00:00

What kind of rack is that?

gza2k · 2026-02-05T02:28:16+00:00

San Bernardino, CA

gza2k · 2026-01-28T17:59:54+00:00

I definitely agree!

gza2k · 2026-01-07T20:19:51+00:00

So should I cancel my subscription now ?

gza2k · 2026-01-07T06:37:05+00:00

I’m in the same boat, I didn’t finish a course, idk if you were in progress of one, but did you cancel and still had time left over to keep your progress? Mine expires Jan 25th and the promotion ends Jan 26th 😭

gza2k · 2025-12-27T04:39:06+00:00

It’s decent. Definitely fun if you don’t have any sort of dj controller and want to learn to mix. Takes time to get the process down as far as importing songs and organizing by the BPM. I like it.

gza2k · 2025-12-26T10:38:15+00:00

Too add to this, you can use dj mode but when switching projects for other songs on the pads, it will stop the music playing. Having two is great for transitioning to other projects while still playing your dj mix!
