Akai Professional MPC One Plus: Deep Dive and Deeper Grooves

When the first MPC debuted in 1988, it altered the music landscape forever, merging drum machine, sampler, sequencer, and more into a one-stop powerhouse primed for performance. Now, 35 years later, the instrument has continued to expand its sonic possibilities without straying from the intuitive, inspiring form factor that’s made it a staple of hip-hop production and much, much more. Want to know what the MPC One Plus can really do? D’Will has a deep dive to show you. Check it out!

I started FL studio in 2004..
It always felt like work to me. My girlfriend bought me an MPC for my birthday in August of 2023 and it changed everything I knew about making music. I've made so much music on the MPC and it just flows outta me. I appreciate you so much for being here for all of us noobs. Your channel is the #1 I always come back to for anything MPC.

I have watched a bunch of mpc tutorials because i'm looking to get one myself. This is the first video that made me understand the workflow directly. Coming from daw based thinking. Much appreciated guys!

[GlingTheSheep]

This video is totally insane. Been wokring on MPC One+ for over a month and you made me discover so much. And you guys have great vibes! Love it

Just bought an MPC one and your man john has taught me so much in 40 minutes that several other creators haven't, I'd go as far as say that others have put me off but this g made me want to pick it up immediately, thanks for the video 🙏

Finally someone that goes into the depth of working the MPC.... Great job

[christophermacier]

Just got my MPC One+ and this video is the best I have found at showing how to really use this thing!

[chriskrilly]

My man just helped me make my decision. Great video for beginners and in general

[Noise-Conductor]

The best of this video is that matching color scheme of the dude on the MPC hair, headphones & shirt.

Probably the best breakdown I've seen for the MPC so far, legit good enough to make me wanna buy one and give it a try. Never liked production but I think the issue was I always used software only. I'm realizing now (especially recently while going back to vinyl and film) that perhaps what was needed all along was a base in the real world for me to enjoy it. Film is tangible, vinyl is tangible, and with an MPC I can engage with music in a more organic human way:)

Ok - yeah the red is nice… But other than that and WI-FI/Bluetooth - which could have been accomplished for $20 with a USB hub / WiFi’s module. 16gb storage is a joke… this and all MPCs ought to have 256gb minimum built it. The “new processor” is a straight up lie. It is the same processor across then entire line right now… I mean the $699 price point really ought to be like $499. AKAI really needs to look at the new PUSH 3 and think about what they should / could do better. In short - this will not be taking my money.

Great video, concise, informative, fluid, thanks a million!!

[jamesil]

I cannot understand why people are complaining. They took the MPC One which is already a great machine and made it better for $699. What's to complain about? People were paying $800 for the 1st edition MPC one.

[Dreckabeatz]

This is bad…just bad…I love Sweetwater but c’mon AKAI! At least kind of hide the money grab play.

[phillyjoe]

My man definitely did a good job in this video of showing you how to work it. I’m definitely going to buy me one but Akai, please upgrade the ram. None of your machines should have less than eight gigs of RAM.💯🤟🏽

[doktahyde]

YALL ACTUALLY MADE THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE

[jackspde]

Will the new red color make our beats slap Harder? Asking for a friend.

[nieprawdopodobniebystry]

At last. This looks like a great instrument. Never before has a product made such an impression on me. Revolution! Turn. Starting from the shape, unprecedented solutions, to efficiency and this color. You know, red cars are the fastest. It's the same with production - on red beat machines production is much faster. I think this is a milestone in the music world, comparable to the discovery of the steam engine 300 years ago.

[Hostage]

I seen several videos concerning the MPC workflow ... and this guy broke it down perfectly. I hope they do the same when 3.0 drops.

[jubeijackson]

Congrats fam for working with Sweetwater

[raphymartinez]

So how do we get this man to just teach us all like if we are 10 years old?
