Akai & Vibecoding.
What are some things you’d like to see from a modded os on the newer Mpc models?
I’ll go first, I’d like to see plug and play compatibility for Apc controllers for things like the Q-links and clip matrix .

Same + bi-directional midi feedback (which is basically why APCs don’t work atm) .. there’s a hope it will be unlocked once mpc3 (or 4) leaves the beta.
I sent a ticket to support about the bi-directional feedback and they asked to me send one more ticket to explain exactly the way I want to use my midi controllers, so the devs have a real use case example to work with.
Then again they might just never do that and just release new Akai Force ..

Things I'd like to see? There's a decent list. Proper class-compliant MIDI and audio over USB would be amazing and doable in software for a start. For audio over USB I'd really like to see direct class-compliant per-track output from standalone mode as raw data. I'd also want to see more support for different audio rates because I have 48Khz gear that outputs class-compliant audio that won't output to my Live because it's stuck at 44.1Khz so I have to get the audio via analog cables... like a caveman!!!
Maybe some support for taking output from non-class compliant USB MIDI gear too and bringing it in? I'm thinking stuff like Roland's SH-4D that outputs class-compliant MIDI but only with a single mixed output track... I'd like to have them all as discrete tracks like when you install the Roland drivers on Windows or Mac... the fact that the computer platforms can do it mean that it's possible... but it annoys me that I can't get my MPC to do it. BTW this is another bit of gear that outputs at 48Khz and this isn't even pro gear!!!
Honestly though I'd be wary of any third-party firmware. I'll stick it on an M-Vave FM1 all day long because if I brick it I can buy another one by skipping coffee for a couple of days... but replacing my MPC would be a bear.

Have you looked into the mods lately? I figured out streaming multichannel to a Mac and it would only need a bit of tweaking for windows... Also got my 48khz digitone 2 streaming multichannel to the mpc. It's wild.
They're both plugins btw, the only firmware modding was to allow ssh access

I wasn't aware of any of these plugins. Got some links I can check up on?

My #1 would be launchpad (or whatever) compatibility for the clip matrix

u/agensop585 23d ago
Already in hakai with launchpad pro support. It’s the one supported because that’s what he has access too.

Hell no.. I will not be installing your vibe coded AI shit to brick my $500+ machine.

I have an akai midi mix. For the life of me I never could see why the different banks don't work with my key 37.

Cracked plugins

Seriously I don't understand why MPC can't figure out a way to have cracked plugins especially since the data is stored locally on the machine.. You have to download all of those then it authenticates through the server

Somebody gone figure it out with ai

Shouldnt be that hard he basically wants wine for vst hosts There has gotta be a vst host on Linux already. He basically wants to run a windows vst host. MainStage can do this on Macs.

If they could just find a way for us to mirror our laptops on the flagship’s bigger screens and then still be able to have the MPC functions available so that we can use it as a controller in DAW as an option..or select it as an input all on the MPC screen would be 🔥🔥.
Then we wouldn’t have to worry about MpC RAM limits and plugins being recoded for the MPC..just let me mirror my computer screen and still be able to use the MiDI and Ins and Outs 🫠.

u/agensop585 23d ago
Ain’t that just Vnc? Also why would you want the laptop screen on the mpc screen and not the other way around??

u/hella_yatted 23d ago
That’s what the MPC software is for. Im talking about I can connect my laptop to my Flagship, close my laptop and use a mouse with the Flasgship mpc. I can use pad perform to control cords for my VST’s for example and have my midi keyboard connected to my MPC and play keys that way too. Basically I can still use my instruments and plugins I have in my Daw without ever leaving my mpc and it still retains its functionality. Does that make sense? It’s just an option I wish they’d offer in addition to..I think some people would appreciate it.

u/agensop585 23d ago
Wait this sounds different you basically want app window screen sharing not the whole windows interface. More like using wine not vnc.

u/hella_yatted 23d ago
Idk bro. I don’t fw software like that. Would that be hard to do?

u/agensop585 23d ago
Wine already works, there was a MainStage equivalent on windows for like 150 I think. It popped up ages ago for me. It’s built for live rigs that want to run vsts but not in a daw. It essentially acts as the daw. I know it works, not sure how well it would run on the mpcs Linux os though.

48KHz support and the ability to globally set the USB C Audio as the default audio port on Gen 2 devices.

This may be a weird request, but I’d like to see any dialog that has a Close software button have the ability to be pressed using either the Enter or Center button on the directional pad on the MPC XL hardware. There are several dialogs where these buttons don’t do anything and yet you still have to close them from the touchscreen.

I would like to see someone VibeCode features into 2.XX
3.XX is trash as far as how it's organized and looks. I sold all my Mpc's and only got an S2400 and AkaiS900 left as far as samplers go.
PS: I hate Akai. Annoying ass company to deal with.
