MPC One+ Review // Should you upgrade? (PROBABLY not)

The rumored successor to the MPC One is finally here! MPC One+ isn't a leap forward in MPC tech. It's more of a mid product life refresh with some well needed convenience features for modern MPC power users. In this vid I discuss reasons you'd upgrade from an OG MPC One and I give some perspective for people thinking about jumping into the MPC eco-system.

Legal stuff: Akai sent over the MPC One+ for a review. No contract was entered and no money was exchanged for this video. All opinions and thoughts are my own and Akai has no say on the contents of this video.

Just ordered mine, my first MPC I'm too excited. Thanks for the video

[unclemick-synths]

Good review. In some ways I'm glad it's not a massive change because it gives hope that my One will continue to be supported for some time to come.

[avace]

I just got mine today. Have to do some rearranging in my space before I crack it open. This will be inspiration

[MarcWeertsMusic]

Another great review. A cool little box, and personally I love the red colour.

[huilustudio]

Oh shiiit! Just by looking at your intro I immediately wanted to buy this product!

[teashea]

Good video - organized and articulate - balanced perspective - good production values

It would be good for someone who does not have an MPC. I just purchased an MPC X SE last week so I don't need this, but it is pretty cool.

Question - how sturdy is the contruction? Is it good quality plastic? Does it feel solid?

[MikeJayMusic]

Gotta say... I'm excited about the keyboard. I use it A LOT for Ableton, and it does help quite a bit. I've been hoping for an MPC One with wifi, as well.

[hornstrum]

Thanks for good video and your opinions. I am shopping and I agree MPC One+ is a great intro into this genre. I like SeqTrak but I already have MOTIF.XF with 5, 000 more sounds than SeqTrak.

[neonblack]

ok this video got me exited about my just got mine and I hope to sample and/or sequence my other synth gear like my microfreak.... my monotribe.... my behringer 2600.... can't wait

[powermix]

It's for those who don't have an MPC one. Those of us who had it for 3 years, our GAS meter is very low 🤣

[remyvegamedia]

Wifi connectivity can be considered a benefit in some cases, but my thought is what if they're trying to lay the groundwork for subscription based plugins as the main focus of the new MPCs. This is speculation, but it seems there are a lot of businesses pushing towards that model.

Sub, Like, and Comment for you, my friend. THANK YOU for the NON-click-baity title that doesn't bury the headline 9mins into the video. You are a gem.

[didierbouville]

Thanks for this video. After One, it's Live 2's turn to evolve, isn't it? But when ?

[BrentODell]

I use the step editor for drums quite a bit, but for anything melodic I can't imagine it

[moretrio]

The mpc really needs to have midi clips functionality. It really the one thing that is missing that would put it in pair with ableton.

[scheetmcborsten]

Akai should probably upgrade the RAM, seeing as they want to keep releasing plugins for it.

[CEEPMDEE]

Please make a video on how to move expansion packs from sd card to internal storage.

[Psycho-Synth]

Can I use this as a sequencer for my Hydrasynth?

[rickywashington]

Imma get a the mpc one + skin for my mpc one that is black

[peacepuffz]

Does this plug in to the DAW or have it's own software like Maschine? Or is it standalone?
