Announced earlier this year, Akai Pro’s MPC Stems technology - which enables producers to separate the bass, drum, vocal and other musical elements in mixed audio - has now arrived in the company’s MPC Desktop Software.
Said to usher in “a new era of sampling, enhancing creativity and precision for music producers and beatmakers,” and to represent “a monumental leap forward in sampling technology for producer communities around the world,” this is powered by zPlane’s stem separation engine, which Akai Pro claims delivers “superior sound quality” and minimal artifacts.
