MPC STEMS: A NEW ERA IN SAMPLING

For four decades, Akai Pro has stood at the forefront of sampling technology, from the legendary S950 to the iconic MPC platform that laid the foundation for some of the most impactful music genres in our industry. This art of sampling from vinyl evolved into a craft, enabling producers to extract sections of records, chopped and re-pitched into slices, creating an entirely new composition. Renowned producers such as The Alchemist to DJ Premier have become pioneers in this sampling art form known as Crate Digging.

With MPC Stems, Akai Pro opens Pandora's box, seamlessly integrating stems separation into the Iconic MPC workflow. This innovation not only delivers superior sound quality but also enhances the speed of the sampling process, ushering producers and beat makers into a new era of sampling creativity.

Welcome to MPC STEMS!

Let's take a moment to thank Akai for all the wonderful and FREE updates they have brought to MPC and Force over the years. THANK YOU!

That’s a game changing function that I dreamt of. Will buy that ASAP when it’s released. Thank you, Akai. You made everything possible!

Akai just keeps killing it constantly!! Started with maschine in 2012, absolutely fed up with ni. Sold the plus weeks ago, because the live 2 is just a beast. Best piece of gear I have ever owned.

Akai Pro always on top for listening to their customers ! And if that wasn't enough, a brillant demo by Andy as usual 🤩

[beatcraftsecrets]

Oh ya'll going crazy! Well done Akai. I have a feeling this is going to be a much talked about moment in the history of the MPC.

It’s funny because 3 days ago a Mpc group I’m in on facebook popped up a question what new features would you want in the Mpc software. And this is what I had said. Now it’s here. Speak it into existence 😅

Akai is starting off the new year with a bang!
Can't wait for stems to make it to the Force.

Chopping the sample once & converting it to other stems while keeping the chops also works for other processes like converting stereo samples to mono-L Sum, & mono-R. Still wish it could change samples in real time like the Sound parameter in the Drum program editor like JJOS 2XL. Anyway this powerful update gives me hope that a higher quality Reverb FX & better Wrapping may come later.

I know that this has been possible forever with other software etc...but....to have this be a part of the MPC worlflow now....omg!!!

Game changer for me!!! I just had about 1000 ideas come into my mind during this 10 min video!!!

Great work!!!!

[wylatron]

Holy moly that sounds clean! Can’t wait to rock out using this on the Force!
Way to hit it out of the park Akai!

[andrejalil]

Unreal. I wish I had this 15 years ago. I’m coppin!!!

[KultClassic]

This is insane. This is a sample users dream.

[EncounterCaneCorso]

Akai is just killing it! Crazy how a hardware company has adopted and integrated software so well. Meanwhile, us Maschine and Maschine + users suffer with little to no updates. Congrats Akai.

[biggiefanlife]

The world of sampling has just changed for the better... Akai has just put everybody on notice

[ghoodfellah]

stop falling behind in the sample world MPC! Y'all are the originals. Thanks for remembering!❤

[jaykiass]

Can't think of a better way to start the year. Well Done Akai👌👌👍👍👏👏

[cs-npgc]

something we all needed and they're delivering beautifully. i'm soo hype for this update

[QuietKidMusik]

Akai continues to make my MPC One my best hobby investment to date💪🏾👏🏾👑

[auraaudio]

Much appreciated to receive an update that expands the core features and although it seems like there are not many controls it looks thoughtfully designed. 🎉

[kingtetvideo]

Incredible! Will this also be available for the Force?

[geoffwidmier]

Just when I didn't think could love my MPC more. I don't even do a lot of sampling, but with stem separation, that might change. My only hope is we will get this as part of an update, instead of having to spend another $100 for another plugin.
