Quick clarification: You have a LOT of tracks to work with beyond what lives in a drum program... 128 midi tracks, which include drum programs and keygroups, and up to 8 of those can be plugins like Hype or Electric piano. You're more likely to find yourself limited by the processing power than the track limit, and so far the processer has been able to handle whatever I throw at it. If you want to layer a metric ton of sounds in a standalone device, the MPC One has got you covered.

I’m still not quite sure that I’m enjoying my MPC One. I’m bummed that the new update still doesn’t include audio over usb. Would be killer to be able to track into a daw in real time like the MC 101/707. It’s also hard to find any videos really explaining exporting/exploding tracks etc. 🤷🏻♀️

Maybe check to see if you have too many samples loaded into one project. Loading sounds into a project fills up the active memory, taking away processing power for other things like plugins. There's a good bit of processing power, but too many/overly large samples can overload it.

On the portability aspect - this was one thing that made me initially hesitant about getting ten One Vs Live 2. I found there are 90 EUR powerbanks that work like a charm with the One, I bought it and can take my one + headphones or mobile speaker and enjoy making music on it anywhere I go, without having to shell out almost twice as much for Live 2 and sacrifice physical buttons/get a bunch of superficial features ( for me). For anyone in a similar scenario, the powerbank that was recommended is Xt Power XT-20000QC3 - it works with ten One via an included cable and is able to output 19V/65W. Reported working time is up to 7.5 hours with the MPC One.

Edit: I want to add, I think the MPC workflow works best if your brain is wired for working with a DAW first and foremost.

Bought a $90 battery bank (switchable voltage) for it, and it's cheaper than the Live II. The One is the best-designed MPC Akai has made at its price point... those dedicated buttons are so worth it.

@@openedto I see you never got an answer to your question, and I'm here on this video now, so figured I'd just chime in with something of an answer for you. My experience isn't extensive, but my first try with groovebox was the MC-505 back in the day, and I really enjoyed using it, though I only had it on loan. I then got a Yamaha RM1x, and I found it pretty clunky to work with, overall. I ended up selling that, and abandoning electronic music entirely until last year when I got bit by the bug again. Picked up the MPC One and am constantly blown away with how much it can do for the price I paid for it. It does virtually everything I was able to do with the MC-505 or RM1x, but significantly more. I am still not an expert with the workflow, but there is just so much packed in here, and the fact that it's doing samples and audio tracks, USB support, etc. It's more than the ultimate groovebox, honestly. For my amateur musician needs, it does everything I need. Almost... I have a digital multitrack that I am holding on to for my more analog music, primarily because it goes to 16 tracks and has a lot of knobs and sliders and projects on the drive already. I am sure I could pare down my analog stuff to work on the MPC but recording my mic'd drum kit is going to eat up most of the audio track limit. Anyhow, I digress. If you are looking for something that can do groovebox stuff, and haven't already decided, the MPC One is amazing value. I'm glad I didn't go with a newer Roland, which was my original intent.

Honestly, for the feature differences, the Live 2 should be best. But frankly, I don't see either of them truly be amazing. At least the devices are kind of standalone, something you can't say about Maschine. And yes, I'm aware Maschine+ exists, but what's the point of that when it literally doesn't support all plug-ins? Why not go Mikro MK3 (or MK2) and a decent laptop and still have spend less money in total than the Maschine+? It's dumb. Kind of in the same way the Live 2 is a tad much, in what world is it worth over one grand? The price point of the MPC One is really what can make it the best of worlds. But unfortunately I still hate the UI / work flow too much to switch from Maschine (which mind you, doesn't has a flawless work flow either. But the 2.x software is alright/usable).

In terms of price to actual performance, the MPC is pretty appealing to me. Why would you act like I'm deliberately saying otherwise? I bought the device secondhand with my own money and have nothing to gain from kissing up to Akai.

I found it clunky at the start. I think the big thing is you can’t see everything that’s going on, like in a daw on a screen. You have to use your ears. You have to remeber what the music is doing. Here lies it’s strength. I’m autistic, and although it sounds weird, as a creative in many different fields I can feel my brain light up in different ways. It like synestesia. Or however you spell it. Writing music in the daw feels like using a word processor and I’m just a bit bored at the end, using the mpc I walk away feeling I’ve played an instrument. I think it’s about holding the sound and arrange,ent in the mind. And the option of hitting the random in key… gets things rolling and jamming…..

I'm a Cubase guy checking out the MPC ONE. I was checking the manual which I downloaded, I was interested in the Track View and Midi layout. I love that they implemented a Midi Grid with a piano roll BUT, to my dismay, I can't find a proper Track View, with lanes, so that I could see what I'm doing, lol. I just can't believe they didn't implement that type of layout, one can only see a list of tracks, but not the usual layout of it, where you arrange everything, exactly as in Cubase and in other serious DAW. I was considering to give it a try but not now, I need a Midi Grid (which it has) and I need a PROPER Track View (X-axis with all the tracks scrolling when I play them back)...I don't understand why didn't they put that in, it's essential.

Let go of it and it returns to center position, Down = latching, you need to manually put the switch back to center position to stop automation. Or here is another option: 1=Auto.OFF, 2=Auto.WhileHolding, 3=Auto.AlwaysOn

With the 2.10 update, when I plug my external synths into my tascam model 16, I can easily route them into the MPC for effects & sidechaining, then route them back out to the same channel on the mixer. That's MASSIVE. RD-8 kick needs some compression, sorted! Wanna sidechain my neutron off my RD-8 kick, done! I love taking it around and working with just the MPC classic style, but using it as a brain for a hardware rig is where it really opens up the floodgates

I make mainly electronic music on the mpc and usually only use drum one-hits and key groups for samples and it’s awesome. Instead of sampling records, I’ll often just sample synths or riffs of my playing and chop those up like I would a sample from a song. With the new update, the synthesis capabilities is even better now, although it still excels the most at handling audio I find.

Great review, and I agree with your statement that I feel like I get more out of the MPC One than I paid for it. And I agree it's not the best workflow. I just went on vacation and was trying to decide which piece of gear to bring. The MPC is really an all-in-one and with the new 2.10 update really wanted to bring it, but knew I'd need to also have a screen up to reference the MPC Bible, so I went with my Digitakt.

Good starter review. Kind of just scratched the surface though. Midi instrumentation, sound modules, keyboards, mixer desks, and dozens more features. The sampling is very powerful, but the sequencer is on another planet for a standalone. I can imagine this is one of many reviews you'll make - especially when you start to discover more of what's possible. Its much more than a Groove box, of which I have a large collection going back to the early 90's ... I have a fully featured studio with a good mix of hardware and software, a really nice desk, and DSD mastering, but I also travel a lot (normally) and love taking mini studios with me. I even built a lithium battery module to power the Akai off grid for hours at a time. So far out of all the Roland, Yamaha, and Korg all in one groove boxes, the MPC took things to a new level ... It really is a studio in a small box. Albeit with a degree of depth to its complexity. But like you said, once you start understanding it's work method, seriously good ideas - even complete tunes can be created. And if needed, extra refinement can be added in the studio with outboard and/or a DAW.

I absolutely LOVE MPC's having owned most of them. However, I must agree that the workflow can be challenging sometimes, especially for some styles of music. I recently bought the MC-707 instead of the One because of the direct access it has with controls. I still may add the One to my studio in the future.

That’s my only gripe with the mpc one. Akai missed a trick protecting their live range. The MPC One needs to be a tad thinner and have a built in battery. I can see the the live range giving way for a portable mpc one. Also needs an accessible volume knob on the front maybe.
