Downloading the new software and its accompanying firmware is easier than ever via the inMusic Software Centre, which no longer requires iLok copy protection for activation.
AKAI Professional MPC Desktop 3.5 Beta
All your expansions will immediately be accessible via the Media Browser, and one of the key features of this update is the new unified track system. This means that tracks and programs function in a similar way through the same interface, allowing streamlined routing and editing for a more efficient workflow.
This new release also offers VST3 support, so you can get the best performance from your plugins in this format. In addition, the drum tracks have also been upgraded with eight velocity layers, a slice motion function, and other improvements. Besides this, there is the addition of the Advanced Keygroup Synthesis engine.
The keygroup multi-sample synth engine provides an extensive platform for sound design, with a dual filter section, parameter automation, and advanced ADSR envelopes, as well as multiple LFOs, per-voice drift LFOs, and more. Meanwhile, you’ll also find new timestretch functions available.
AKAI has made it clear that this feature set is still far from the final version, so there is a way to go before we see many of the planned features. In the future, we can look forward to features such as Q-Link Setup, Arranger View, Time Signature Support, and new improvements to the user interface.
