HI! I recently purchased both Akai Force and Mpc Live 2, both new. Sadly I found that there are no plugins or software (except Mpc 2 and the included Hype, Solina, etc.) to download and that only with One+ they give you a plugin for free.
Not even any discounts.
Any tips for saving?
Thank you!

Yes, saving money, sorry for my english.

Plugins like Jura and Mini D seem really nice…

Yes, you can save if you‘re patient. But you‘re quite on spot, Jura and Mini-D are great value for the money. I might add, that Flavor Pro is a good plugin (there are non-Akai ones that are better, mostly because of their respective presets), and don‘t sleep on OPx-4. The latter is quite cool an FM synth.

Thank you all!
I didn't know there were "not-Akai" plugins!
Can you recommend any interesting ones to me?

Sorry, but I didn‘t express myself properly. I compared these plugins to others NOT running in standalone. When I use MPC Software, I often load RC-20 or SketchCassette II. These don‘t run standalone.

New jack with the MPC One .. Watched multiple tutorials on how to simply save your project to an SD card .. When I put the SD into a Computer it reads the files, (each info yall sample etc) but wont play my beat for some reason. I’ve tried WAV and XPJ but for some reason it wont play the track. I use this standalone as possible and dont use MPC software/ beats .. Strictly MPC One .. what could be the issue here?

When you save your project (to the SD card, USB drive, internal SSD or HD that you can install on some MPC models), you’re saving all the files necessary to reload your project at a later date and play it back on your equipment. If you want to play back the music created on your MPC on a computer or other device, you’ll need to Export your final version to .WAV or .MP3.
