Akai XR20 BEAT

[TiDiiNig]

ow do you get the beat off the machine to the computer as an mp3

[mwanioyugi]

@TiDiiNig > use the 1/4 inch RCA outputs on the back and record to wav using something like wavepad (FREE ), I use soundforge. After that compress to mp3.

sweet

[ThatCaKlick619]

Check Out my Xr20 beat Fool

[chuckles1252]

does this sample? or are you limited to the preloaded sounds?

[24trivium24]

this is probably the lamest question ever. But can two pads be activated at the exact same time? say hi hat and bass drum?

[fawkthescene666]

Thanks for the demo...

And this debate is stupid..there are people out there who actually love listening to, producing, writing, and performing POP music. We all know people like bieber and black are just faces and names put on albums and music videos to sell some pop songs other people made....so what...it doesnt mean they have no talent and are harmful to the industry..go listen to and BUY music you love and turn off mtv and the radio if you dont want to hear anything else.

[SeeGabeGo]

i just got one and the instructions are kinda hard to understand. what mode where u in to play the beats? i put my beats on presets but i cant get them to play at the same time

[motoxsb]

how did you get your beat count so high, i can only go up to 8

[Michael55443]

Non-musicians need to stop playing around with toys like this as they inevitably make garbage. Find some other hobby instead of butchering the music business.

[TheFreshPeddler]

@Michael55443 -troll much?

[Michael55443]

@TheFreshPeddler Oh yes, when someone writes something you don't like, that makes them a troll. I am very interested in this drum machine, which is why I watched the video. Therefore, I wasn't randomly criticizing for no real reason. I've been in music over 30 years and know an amateur when I see one.

[TheFreshPeddler]

@Michael55443 - no your douchebag comments make you a troll. go crawl under a bridge.

[3fingerjones]

@Michael55443 I dont think he is trying to make a life out of it. Just having fun man. Your the pinhead writing shit about something you think is garbage. Im sure your no champion.

[3fingerjones]

[theshinywolf]

@Michael55443 why cant people just have fun with the stuff they rightfully own?

[Michael55443]

@theshinywolf Play all you want. Just stop posting garbage videos about it on the Internet. Don't sell the beats to some wanna-be rapper thug. The music business is replete with bullshit music, most of it with beats like this. That's all I'm saying. Keep music MUSICAL.

[theshinywolf]

@Michael55443 oh im sorry. the internet now has quality control? the internet is for everyone and youtube is open and for anyone to post what they feel they want to post. it shouldnt be these videos your trollin all over, but the likes of that talentless twat makin billions called justin beiber.

[Michael55443]

@theshinywolf The Internet is a cesspool. You and I agree that Justin Bieber needs to go. He's exactly what I'm talking about. He's a product, nothing more. He's advertising space for fat-assed music executives. I've been in music over 35 years and hate to see its integrity being attacked. So when I see or hear stuff like this video, it makes my skin crawl.

[theshinywolf]

@Michael55443 so a video, nothing more than a 1:39 video, simply demonstrating a product is putting the entire music business at risk? i also find it funny that you are CONSTANTLY referring to the music industry. do you really believe this video will bring this person fortune and fame and this will be the number 1 in the charts? this video is a harmless, short demonstration. nothing more.

[Michael55443]

@theshinywolf You're missing the point. This bigger picture. The music industry is falling apart due to crap music being thrown out there by every Tom, Dick and Harry. While this video by itself won't cause the downfall of the music business (never said it would), it's indicative of the mentality of what people find to be "good" music these days. People can like what they want, but it's up to real musicians to keep the integrity of music intact.

[theshinywolf]

@Michael55443 your right. this crap wont cause the downfall of the music industry so why are you saying it is? quote "Find some other hobby instead of butchering the music business". your implying that this video of a person who hasnt even made a simple song is taking down music. i understand your saying there are lots of these kinds of videos but they are just simple demonstrations. videos like this arent the reason behind rebecca black and jb. the cause of those is the growing industry itself.

[ryanb113n]

Hey, what keyboard is that?

[i626miks]

very dope........ how do you get it out of 8 count? i really would like to know

[Xobesasma]

how do you change it so the time goes past 8 seconds

[AMichnowskisMusicM4L]

2 noob questions: u can put ur own samples on this right? and can u record ur beats with like pro tools and other software?

[rahjaman]

Most videos I've seen of people using this are not as good as this one due to the lack of skill at using this machine. Seems to be a very good beat box though for a person that's taken the time to learn how to use it properly.

[GanEdenAustralia]

Can you make italo disco with this?

[NINOBROWN917]

dam u made that beat quick

well done man

[1blark1]

i can only play 2 bars of 4..(8 beats) on mine how do i change it??

[hubertowo]

jakie zajebiste ;)

[HyekakanPride]

can you just use this to make a good beat that can sound good or do you need the piano and other things(and can you list the other things,thanks)

[molee34]

OMFG YOU CAN MAKE A TRUE BEAT

[wickidwhitez727]

yup mpd32 is the most efficient midi controller for pc ... it works good on both mac and windows goes with any beat program ... reason.....fls......acid......­.or garage band you just gotta know how to program it to those apps so ... my suggestion is the mpd32 or 24 they both cost the same prices

[alex95369]

[Godz3839]

[1Rapresent1]

[TheFreshPeddler]

@Godz3839 the keystation is not exactly uncommon lol. there are probably 20 of them within a 2 block radius of your house

[wifernwifern]

@1Rapresent1 how much did you buy your rx20? in SGD

[ggon13]

Nice work that sounds real good.

[Aar0n2009]

you said you can connect this to the computer using a midi to usb cable?

[1Rapresent1]

yes you can, but it never is not an original midi controller

[djstarscream1000]

so what you prefer?

this or mpd32?

they are both at the same price

[1Rapresent1]

MPD32 :) ...xr20 dont cooperate with PC very good

[KRYLONADDICT822]

@djstarscream1000 theres no importing (or exporting either im pretty sure) with the XR20. i almost got one before i found out youre stuck with what you get, so i just went all out and gotta MPC 1000 :-P

[KoolBeats]
