if the feature aint standalone it dont count, lmao

Just seen this, awesome news!!
If anyone has seen the official Akai vid, Andy does say at the end it's software first, then standalone.
I for one am excited, but I'd be more excited about a Live 3....

This is big

I received the email about this 10 minutes after you posted, and my time machine is in for a service.

Good for the people who care about "stems".

Now about tall these MIDI channel bugs AKAI...

Oh my God this is amazing

I had to keep an Android phone around with Moises and a YouTube downloader app just to do this on my MPC (and Moises limited me to five songs per month).

I can't believe the MPC One for example is capable of this. I thought it required a really good GPU to do AI separation!

This is probably the biggest game changer for the MPC that I can think of (and I don't say that lightly).

I like the way it's implemented using a standard DRUM program and the 4 layers, nice and simple. Time will tell on the quality of the results, especially when it comes over to standalone. I wonder if they are licensing this from a third party or built in-house.

Also the 'select all layers' feature in DRUM programs is a nice addition (generally speaking, not just for the stems). But surely a 'solo/mute layer' button also required?

This always seemed like such an obvious feature for MPCs to eventually have, hence very excited to see it, and very glad to see some attention being paid to the sampling side of things for a change.

According to the three videos I just watched the quality is excellent and on par with desktop PC vocal remover software. I also assume the MPC will automatically pick the best separation method instead of having to try ten different presets with UVR5 for example.

$9.99 is also so cheap that I'm surprised they're even charging for it.

Not to needlessly kiss Inmusic's rear end but I am very impressed they got this working on a machine like the MPC One.

Who on planet earth is going to bother with Maschine or Roland standalones when apparently the $600 MPC One is capable of GUI-intensive AI separation?

the feature does not work in standalone so its using ur computer cpu not the mpc one cpu

Just want to point out that AKAI is now nickel and dimming OS functions, not plugins, not even a complete V3... "Monetization" begins...

Here's the official information:

I missed that, so it's confirmed that it's $10?

I do think it's a slippery slope if they start charging to unlock individual OS features which in the past would have been free and just part of a 2.x update.

Hope they have fixed all the bugs with the activation system...
