Yeah, I'd image that's why the standalone version is going to take some time to appear. They're definitely going to need to optimize it for that limited SoC.

So, if it doesn't work in the standalone version, will those who own an MPC Studio be able to use the MPC Stems?

What's cool is even if it uses a ton of CPU power it will quickly be able to "recover" from using it once it is done making the separation.

I truly can't believe this works in standalone. I am ridiculously excited for this.

What do you mean "If it doesn't work in the standalone version"?

By time they get to the point of releasing a video & announcing it to the buying public, it been tested & deem workable enough. :lol:

I doubt it works as fast as the desktop version, but that's to be expected. If it's really slow I'll just make a Stem day & go in just like I do on sampling day when I just take a bunch of records & sample. :smoker:

i am only interested in the beat maker sample related stuff; hence why i said its fallen off from that perspective


Its fallen off from YOUR perspective.. Again you seem to think that you speak for the rest of the world here..
NAMM is plenty packed every year regardless whether YOU go or not..

I'm thinking what we are seeing IS standalone. The separation of STEMS happens in another piece of software in almost real time with a decent CPU. The delay I'm seeing in these vids definitely gives me acceptable times for standalone. I could be 100% wrong.

I’m I missing something here?

You can only create individual stems? So I can’t just remove the vocals and have rest of the elements on 1 sample?

I understand the layers in the drum program which is cool so I guess you could just bounce to sample from there once you lower volume of what stems you don’t want?

Am I understanding this corrrctky?

you can flatten to pad any or all of the individual stems

Now about tall these MIDI channel bugs AKAI...


Exactly. I'm so tired of Akai Introducing new features instead of fixing the issues that have plauged us for years. MIDI Note on off bug, Class compliant audio interface bugs, and yet we get more features. :Sigh: Don't get me wrong, it's a cool feature, especially coming from the DJ world where Pioneer and Denon have incorporated Stems into thier recent hardware, but please Akai, just fix the bugs.

IMO NI acts similar with Maschine / Maschine+. I don't know an alternative to MPC / Force / M+.
Maybe Elektron boxes like Digitakt or Octatrack come close but their UI and workflow are quite differnt (but nice :wink: ) and they can be used as instruments for live performance.

I'm sorry I'm French I translated the previous posts badly.

My question is :

Will this feature be present on the MPC Studio?

It will work with the mpc software hence it will work with any currently supported mpc controller. You don’t mention which mpc studio model you have, you might not have all the features available directly from the hardware so you might need to use the software directly for some things

Remember time stretching on the 2kxl?
