AKAI MPC ONE REVIEW

In this video, we take an in depth look at the Akai Professional MPC One.

CORRECTIONS:
1. In the video, the MPC One is described as having a metal case. For clarity, the top, front and sides are of a hard plastic and the back and bottom are of metal.
2. In the chart of devices, the Digitakt was listed as having a 1 TB internal drive, but the device has a 1GB drive internally.

I used an MPC 1000 for 15 years. I've been on the One for 7 days and honestly, Akai hit a home run here. This thing is amazing. The feel, the workflow, the physical buttons. I highly recommend this, especially if you've used the older MPCs

The most useful overview so far on MPC one. Was considering it as a substitute for my laptop, but only 8 audio tracks made me change my mind.

Wifey got for me as an anniversary present!! I'm super hyped. Can't wait. She bought from Sweetwater too! Said they were really helpful.

Best product review, maybe ever? so clear, so concise. Perfect diction!! ahh!

[AveMcree]

Damn your mpc review puts mine to shame. Amazing quality! I have no regrets about this machine. I wish it came with hype synth like the original build. It’s worth noting the arpeggio mode doesn’t work with the scale mode like the force. However, it works with a MIDI controller and outboard gear. I bought an Omni charge battery for my hipster videos in the future. Great beats btw.

Man I just love your videos, beautifully to the point and superbly edited and you give details were others waste ten minutes on useless information. The feel of the buttons and where to get one were all things I only briefly thought about but you really explained the whole deal! Thank you, you have also helped me out with your videos about Teenage Engineering's gear!

Getting into making beats (again) and have been studying the MPC One. I will say this video answered ALL of the questions I had after watching 15 others.. thank you and keep it up!

I've just bought one of these. I'm a guitarist, but have been into midi sequencing and sampling for years. I own an S5000 and a Z4, which I have hooked up to a Yamaha QY700. But this little unit can do it all in one tiny package! I'm a guitarist, and I create compositional backing tracks for my guitar work, and I am so excited to be working with this powerful piece of kit! I cannot believe how much power and content has been crammed into this tiny device!

[SrReyesVision]

Because of this review I bought it and I couldn't be happier. Thanks a lot!

[twiglet]

Ordered one today after loads of research and feel confident that i'm going to have some fun with it ! Like the review and appreciate the hard work that goes in to making these excellent reviews and tutorials.

This has been the best mpc one review I’ve seen

[jorgeterrell]

just bought one and learning how to use it. Getting back into making music in a long time and Im loving it. Thanks for your video, I liked seeing the process of how you work.

[dstrats]

So I just picked up a Gold MPC One, used from my guitar store. I use a TR-08 Boutique Roland for my drum sounds, and love it. But I wanted more. Learning Roger Linn had a hand in the beginning of this unit, I was eager to try this “newer” take. I like it a lot. Certainly a learning curve but the sounds are so much more “real” than my TR-08. And I have more, seemingly, control with the MPC than the 08.

I truly appreciate this vid as my unit didn’t come with a manual. Thanks so much for posting this.

[jprofetmusicofficial]

I already had the MPCX and the MPC live but I do like the MPC one as well even though I will not be purchasing one because it really doesn’t make any sense for me to get the one when I already have the other two. Thank you for all the information in a video.

[bennyrobinson]

I already have an MPC 1000, & MPC Studio, and I believe this will be my next purchase by week's end. Thanks for the review

[johnvipond]

Finally someone actually measured the pads. It boggles my mind how many videos talk about the pads being smaller but not one single person has thought to break out a ruler or measuring tape. Good job👍

[hairetikaos]

THIS is the kind of review I was searching and it convinced me completely, can't wait to save enough money to buy this, thank you so much for doing this it really helped ❤️

16:06 You can toggle the metronome with Q-link 3 when the Q-link indicator is on the first position, holding down the q-link button shows you all of the available features for each position

I’m trying to decide between MPC one and live. I currently have the Ren. This was helpful. Thanks

[mrflynn]

I will certainly be adding the MPC - 1 to my collection.
