2.3 saw standalone synth engines, now it’s time for premium mixing tools in MPC!
Akai Professional has just announced MPC 2.4 that introduces a plethora of user-requested features and workflow enhancements, notably the addition of 28 must-have effects from critically-acclaimed DSP gurus AIR Music Tech, a much-requested side-chain compressor, the Mother Ducker, enhanced clip launch and a number of other improvements.
The original AIR Creative FX collection has been included as part of Avid Pro Tools® since Version 8 and is considered the reference FX suite by some of the world’s most respected audio professionals.
With MPC 2.4, this legendary suite of 16 mix essentials has been ported to MPC for immediate use with standalone or desktop MPC software; this core range of effects has also been expanded to include 12 new plugins, including the AIR Channel Strip and AIR Transient.
Each effect has been expertly designed with ease of use in mind and the stunning new TUI layouts take using effects inside MPC to a whole new level.

2.4 will be a free update for owners of MPC 2 Desktop Software, MPC Live and X in early February.

SIDE CHAAAAAIN!!! :worthy:

As someone who doesn't mix or do much sound designing in MPC, I hope there's more to 2.4. Without PDC, I'm always curious how folks use some effects. Manual compensation? I'd love an efficient way to tackle some sound designing while writing songs/tracks, which is what I use my Live for.

I do love that Akai is putting this much into the MPC line. Looking forward to more.

I believe what you’ve posted but it’s always better to include a source in your post.

The Live/X definitely need some new effects for standalone. :nod:

This is good stuff. I'm very happy the MPC is still getting love. It helps me keep hope alive that the keygroup program will get some more love too.

Anybody knows what the "user requested features" are?

I mean besides the effects, do we get anything else? I really hope that mixer is coming. I find it really hard to toggle between Track Mutes / Pad Mutes / Track mixer

Dude chill
They said in 2.4 besides effects there are other improvements to clips and stuff.

I was just wondering if anyone knows what those are. It's a legit question
