But watch your workflow and artistry beam into the stratosphere when you use the MPC Key 37 to exert near-effortless control over Akai’s powerful MPC Stems software. MPC Stems is a virtual maestro of stem-separation command that lets you isolate, chop, blend and mix the embedded audio of sample files. “MPC Stems basically allows you to manipulate samples on a whole new level,” says Andy Mac, Global Manager of Content/Artist Relations and Business Development for inMusic. “Normally, I would have to use a sample in its entirety. I couldn’t remove the vocal or the music as they are embedded into the file. But with MPC Stems we can separate the file into totally different parts. It really opens up Pandora’s Box as far as your creative options.” Watch Mac chop a music sample, extracting vocals, bass and instruments in separate stems that can be used individually to craft beats, pads or whatever is desired. In the video demo, the sound quality of the isolated files is scary good—almost as if you had the original multitrack project to work with, except you didn’t. Keep watching, as Mac shares tips to get your production chops seamlessly integrated with the combo of MPC Stems and the MPC Key 37.
