Ableton also uses zplane elastique pro.

Yes, but élastiquePRO technology have a versions and adaptation. Apparently, very outdated on mpc. Like vst1-2 and no vst3.

stems is delayed according to the frist 15 mins of this vid; this dude was beta testing ans said they did not even have a windows install of the stems ready, face palm

Who the hell watches this type of video, someone chatting guff for 3 and a half bloody hours? Literally, who has time for this?

I can understand watching reviews, tutorials, beat making vids etc. But seriously, over 3,000 actual people watched this live.

Delayed isn't a bad thing.. to only test on Mac to me is good idea why have complains coming from both operating systems.. wouldn't you rather wait or have the native instruments approach to there komplete kontrol software.. I can wait when ever it's release its fine with me..

Oh and regarding the stems, what is it with these beta testers who can't keep their mouths shut FFS. Regardless it means nothing if they initially just release a beta to Mac users, maybe that's the one they are having issues with and the Windows version is already signed off.

These end user 'beta testers' are not alpha testers and not part of the internal testing team. They are not privy to any inside info whatsoever, these guys are given very specific builds to test, often effectively release candidates. They certainly would not know why they were only given a Mac version to test. Nor would they have a clue whether the release is delayed or not.

Question should be: who the hell watch this dude at all ? he’s one of them MPC gang gang dudes having trouble connecting more than two midi devices together but is on top of the all unconfirmed rumours floating in that group.

EDIT:
betafluencers
you really don’t need to be knowledgeable, you just need to suck up to Andy Mac and you’re set.

Honestly, I don't care specifically about him either way, good luck to him with his influencer endeavours. But I do struggle with the idea that anyone wants to watch 3.5 hours of this type of thing, regardless of which MPC influencer made it. I mean, yes, 3.5 hours watching DJ Shadow giving insights into his production technique and career, or 3.5 hours listening to a great political mind of the 21st century.

obStems: a fun thing to do is, clip the vocal track to something like 1-2 bar pieces and reverse each piece, you get new melodies and lyrics! The lyrics won't make much sense but depending on the content it may be an inprovement.

Agree i did not watch whole vid just skipped around the first few minutes to find the sections where he speaks on stems, but yeah def a waste of time to watch the whole vid, i always just skip to find the parts i want to listen to

Dance music vocal hooks being nonsensical garnish that add a human touch, I'm intrigued by the use of reversed clips to get that minus the annoying meaninglessness, replaced by radical meaninglessness !

they cant be critical of akai in order to get beta tester access; but cant blame them as they get to make beats and videos for living as a result, they monetised they hobby/passion, so life is on easy mode.

cant begrudge them for that, the mpc gang is mainly iamsight, and to be fair i think sight, ave and marlow are pretty knowledgable and dope producers.

course they are biased due to the sponserhip they have from akai

But that's my point, these beta testers are not informed, they have no idea why they only received a Mac beta and they don't know if the project is delayed or not. I'm on that beta testing group, I can assure you that we have not been given any info on the timeline for this. It could get released tomorrow for all we know, we're not alpha testers, we are told jack shit about these things and have no insight into anything.

FYI, the beta tester group are just a bunch of end users like us who applied for access via social media. You literally just get sent a build, you test it, and no one from Akai tells you anything about anything.

If one of the actual developers or internal testers says something, then listen. Otherwise ignore.

BTW, to my knowledge, none of the youtube influencers (other than perhaps tubedigga) are on any of the testing teams.
