Akai Professional today released updates for the Force, MPC Live and MPC X adding Splice integration via WiFi.
Splice Sounds is a services that offers millions of easily downloadable sounds. The update gives users immediate access to their Splice Sounds library, directly from the touch user interface, for fast auditioning of sounds for use within Force and MPC projects.
“With Splice integration, our Standalone Series provides immediate access to some of the most sought-after sound content available,” notes Dan Gill, Akai Professional Product Manager.
Splice integration is included as part of update 3.0.2 for Force, and update 2.5 for MPC Live/X; both updates are available immediately. See the Akai Pro site for details.
unfortunately a song/arrangement mode for the force wasn´t their priority.
OK, so with that finished, AKAI, please now add VST support to Force!
do you know how much cpu some vst plugins cause? Do you really think that is a good idea?
And the most plugins like NI or Arturia work with a service center app for authorization etc… how do you think this will run a mpc? Sometimes I ask myself , where is the intelligent life on earth 😛 😛 😛
and multitimbrality + disk streaming for the Live
Midi file import for Force is by far my number one need. I can’t believe it still isn’t supported.
“Splice Sounds is a services that offers millions of easily downloadable sounds.” < I thought the idea of these machines was to sample your own stuff instead of just downloading lots of sound and arrange them in some patterns?
The original idea might be but having the Splice Sounds option will remove the possibility to sample your own sounds in any way or form?…Free updates with more options but people have to find a way to complaint anyway
i will never get this attitude where “free” used in conjunction with access to shopping is somehow a great thing. reminds me of a mall i used to live near which advertised “free parking”. no shit. WE are paying YOU, not the other way around …
You could have to pay your shopping and the parking as I do unfortunately many times. In this case, you could already be a member of the service and now you can upload the sounds streight to the machine..this wasn’t possible before and now is.. For free.
