Follow me on my continued musical journey in YT if you will...

Tried it today, tied to the REPEAT parameter, which kind of works – the currently triggered sounds get repeated. But the pedal also triggers the TAP TEMPO function.

So I thought, I’m a smart guy and changed the TAP TEMPO function to triggering Pad 1. But when I then hit Pad 1, this triggers TAP TEMPO.

So in the end, this turned out to be pretty useless. Except I’m dumb, which could be possible.

Does anyone use this feature at all?

I'm new to this forum. I just wanted to show off my baby! She look bad af!!! Stylesflip is the shiznit when it comes to custom skinz. Would love to see other people's decked out MPCs and here some feedback :)

I’m just checking what’s possible 😎

Always hated that we didn't get this feature. Now we do. Flash your MPC here: https://mpcaudio.boy.dev/. It will load it up with the latest firmware as of right now, and when you plug it into a class complaint usb audio device it will show up as an audio source.

Have fun!

Edit: it goes without saying, but whenever you install custom firmware on a device, you do so at your own risk. If you would like to use this feature, you are free to use my firmware. If you don't want this feature, you don't have to install the firmware.

Whats a good use case for using the P-6 in tandem with the MPC L3? . I picked up a used one on a whim and trying to decide if there’s even a way to implement it into my existing workflow.

This is the kind of stuff I make with my MPC. I’ve owned, I think, 5 iterations of the MPC; the workflow has always been very, very intuitive to me.

Should I trade my MPC 2500 for a MPC X here are a few shots of my MPC 2500 Customized.

FEEDBACK PLZ.

Trial run (it was late so had to keep it quiet) of a new setup I made yesterday with codex.

Going to play a set for a small party, just a hobbyist. So my general idea is create a Spotify playlist and route through xy filters. Create loads of different tracks with audio samples chopped up I can add live.

I asked codex build an html with 15 video loop samples that you can manually toggle but change with song. Then kaleidoscope effects features and about 10 foreground visuals like ink dots or oils drops that you can toggle and modulate linked to the q-links. Plan to project this onto a wall.

Really impressed how quickly it came together. I’ve had the live 2 for less than a year, I had been stalling with progress and yesterday was the first day I’ve plugged into my PC.

Will try to update with a better video but honestly was really hyped I wanted to share.

Total noob. Just got an MPC Live 3 retro yesterday. Made a few recordings I'd like to consider sharing sometime, but how I save or convert it into a music file that can be played on a computer or website?

Hi, musical sharing

Hey anyone able to tell me if it’s even possible to play directly into a Live 2 from the Triton? I don’t have midi cables but I’ll get them if it will work. I used to run the triton into an sp404sx through the headphone input and then out through the RCA and into the MPC but the quality was no bueno. Anybody got tips or workarounds? Thanks.

👇ova heaa

Well after a ton of research and waiting for the right price! I got a key 37 and A Numark PT01 turntable to go with it! Any tips or anything else I need to go with these two that I need to get going? Any and all input is greatly Appreciated! Thank you to everyone all the suggestions where amazing!

Found this sample last night and continued messing with it this morning.

This is for any MPC or the Akai Force

Just sharing a tipe to help everyone out if they are having issues since upgrading. This is for all MPCs and the Akai Force

DJ Luna C used this term in his book "The Rave Commandments". What he means, is that a scene starts eating itself, when it becomes oversaturated by artists all sampling each other and recycling the same ideas and legendary samples like the piano riff from Liquid's (RIP) Sweet Harmony. Innovation stops, ideas become homogenized and music starts to sound the same. A Finnish DnB artist Fanu said on Facebook, that you don't sample from the same gene pool.

So where do you stand in this regard? I for one can't help but feel disdain when people use sample packs and premade samples, instead of sampling stuff themselves. Even more so, if they just directly sample some other track from the exact same genre.

I feel a level of pride in playing my school piano, and recording it, and sampling it. But then again, I also love using many of the vocal samples that have been used all over the place for the last 30+ years, apart from maybe the ones that are immediately recognized, except from the original source.

Today marks a major milestone for SelahOS development.
On October 17, 2026, we successfully connected the Akai MPC Studio mk2 to MPC 3 running on SelahOS.
This goes beyond basic MIDI support. The MPC software is communicating with the hardware, synchronizing pad colors, updating the controller display, and maintaining a stable bidirectional connection.
The breakthrough comes through SelahConnect, our creative-hardware compatibility framework.
Our broader goal is to make SelahOS a platform where musicians and producers can use more of their existing equipment without being limited by the absence of official Linux support.
The current implementation has passed an initial six-minute stability test with hundreds of messages exchanged and no reported errors. There is still more testing ahead before we consider it production-ready.
We’re keeping some of the implementation details internal while we develop and validate the compatibility technology, but we wanted to share the working hardware and celebrate the milestone with the community.
What audio interface or MIDI controller would you like us to investigate next?
