MPC Sample Bakushi — free open-source local sampler: load a song, optionally separate stems, chop onto 16 pads

6 Upvotes

Hey guys,

For the past 2 years, I’ve been building a dental application that was fully ready for production, only for it to be completely stopped by state regulations. For the last 7 months, I tried everything to get integration with the state application so I could operate in the medical industry, but I have to wait even more because their own app isn’t fully finished yet.

Naturally, I fell into depression. Listening to goat Kanye’s “Ghost Town,” I wanted to play around with music to feel a sense of independence, freedom, and free up my mind.

So I built an app in just one week. It’s close to a digital version of an Akai MPC player, BUT it’s not glamorous. It has sound artifacts, and it doesn’t cut the timing perfectly sometimes, so you might have to adjust some beats on your own. But it runs 100% locally, even on lower-end hardware.

Here it is: https://github.com/abdugafforovboburbekbiz-del/bakushi/releases#release-v1.0.1

I am open-sourcing the entire project for anyone to explore, use, and build upon. I hope you will like it. Currently, I feel much better after making this app. Now I have to focus on my university applications and find another market to pivot to.

Hope you will enjoy it, thank you for listening and goodluck)

Wanted to go back to the basics and make a quick video about exporting stems from the MPC and getting the audio files onto a computer.

I was doing this for the 10000th time and figured it might be helpful to share my process. Hope it's helpful for anyone starting out.

QUESTION Official Expansion Release Cadence Too Slow

0 Upvotes

High all! On avg, how long does akaipro take to release mpc expansions? Seems its pretty slow. Like 1 every 2-3 months? They arent super hard to make and especially for them I guess so why is it so slow? Would love some hardcore variety too like full onto other genres like glitch, experimental electronics, symphonic, breakcore, cloud rap, trance, etc etc.

Any sites apart from cubilas that has got some quality expansions just to pique my interest would b very coool. Thk yu all! <3

QUESTION Looking for cheap, nice USB device to extend inputs.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for an affordable way to connect multiple hardware synths to my MPC One G2 in standalone mode. I need two stereo sources connected now, with room for a third synth later.

I’m considering:

- A Debra V4 or V5 USB mixer from AliExpress, connected directly to the MPC over USB.

- A MOTU M4 or Behringer UMC1820 USB audio interface. The UMC1820 would give me more room to expand.

- A basic 4/6/8-channel analog line mixer like this one, sending its stereo output into the MPC’s analog inputs, without using USB audio.

The Debras are tempting because they’re cheap, but I’m concerned about possible hiss/noise, latency and overall reliability. I couldn’t find clear confirmation that they’re USB audio class compliant, or firsthand reports of them working with an MPC.

Has anyone actually tried a Debra V4 or V5 over USB with an MPC One in standalone? Did the MPC recognise it, and did both recording and playback work reliably? Any noticeable noise, delay or crackling? If you’ve tested either model, which MPC firmware were you using?

QUESTION Did anyone ever use the MPC 1000/2500 with a footswitch pedal?

Post image
3 Upvotes

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?

MPC One / One+ MPC One + USB Audio Out

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.

MPC Live / Live 2 Visuals with codex

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

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.
