can't believe my old MPC Live 1 is still supported - this is amazing.

[kltus]

man, the fact that all of this is a free update makes me feel proud to be a MPC owner

[uberdgAlpha]

Are you trying to make me a fan for life, Akai? Coz this is how you make me a fan for life.

[Shraedar]

in the age where subscription services are the norm, updates cost money, and old devices becoming obsolete, there's Akai holding back the tide. I'm legitimately impressed that such a huge update is being brought to us for free, and still supports every device with a touch interface. This is one of the reasons that I will always be a proud owner of any of your hardware/software. You guys rock!

[thelementalsounds]

Having all this in Standalone, is a game changer!!! While others remain tied down to their DAWs, we will make our music anywhere!!!! MPC Gang!!!

[nyngg]

What a great investment the MPC Live 2 was, I've never seen a company support a device so well

[kentuckyfriedcaleb]

I’ve waited for this for 4 years. Tempo Automation, Arranger, Disk Streaming❤ I think the only thing it’s missing is a nice EQ.. and it’s FREEWEEEWEEEWEE

[darthknowl]

We been in the MPC Gang talking about arranger mode for years. They gave it to us. This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[AndyTanguay]

Absolutely amazing. A complete reimagining. This will definitely piss off some folks, but for someone coming in new, losing some of the ‘idiosyncrasies’ is really welcome.

[swiftbiscuit]

Kind of the expectation I had when I bought an MPC over a year ago. I'm glad we are finally here.

[vertigev]

Force has had almost all of these features for years, happy to be able to use them on MPC ❤

[aro]

You know what, half a year ago I sold my MPC One because I couldn't switch to this different, specific mode of operation, I preferred the type of work that every DAW, where you have everything on one screen, and you know what else? because of this update, I'M BUYING MPC AGAIN, because it's a real gift, God bless you. Greetings from Poland🤜🤛

[HOLLASOUNDS]

Andy Mac is the biggest asset to Akai, lets be real, He is a master of using the modern MPCs and has a highly professional speaking tone.

[ryanziegler]

With Andy leading Akai I feel totally confident in the company! Bravo on the innovation! Been an Akai guy since the late 90s and the progressions been amazing!

[HubertCopeland-mueh]

"THE CHAMP IS HERE"***AKAI*** THIS IS WHAT WE THE COMMUNITY NEEDED, NOW THE CHERRY ON THE TOP IS iMPC 3, with STEMS AND A TOTAL INTEGRATION WITHIN THE NEWLY 3.0, IT CAN WORK !!!!THANKS FOR LISTENING AND SATISFYING THE COMMUNITY, KEEP THE GOOD WORK GOING 👏 🙌 👍

[mr.g]

I could just cry right now. This looks so good. Im so glad to be a apart of the mpc

[MGoolas]

Every single thing shown in this video is amazing and more than welcome. Akai did the right thing by taking the force ui approach. What a banger. That main screen and sample to pad is absolutely amazing feature that I was dreaming of the other day. It makes spontaneous sampling 10x easier and fun. This is it !!!!

[Garethduffy]

Wow, looks seriously amazing. Incredible update…The MPC Bible is gonna need a massive overhaul. Super informative video as always from Andy!

[Harlem-Instrumental]

This made me realize how ahead the Force was. Nice job, Akai!

[willdelliswe]

I thought I was stuck in a trance at this machine before. After this drops I'll likely become a memory to everyone. The functionality and visuals look incredible. May the future of music be warned and prepared. Right on Akai, right on!
