Akai MPC Live III + Flomaticc new direction

Flomaticc Experiments with the MPC Live III

Flomaticc has recently added a new tool to the laboratory.

After switching over to the Akai MPC Live III, the creative process inside the Flomaticc studio has taken a noticeable shift. Unlike traditional mouse-and-keyboard production, the MPC introduces a hands-on, tactile approach that directly connects the artist to the sound.

For Flomaticc, this has opened up a completely new way of thinking about music.

The ability to physically interact with pads, sampling, and sequencing in real time has changed the personality of the music itself. Beats are forming differently. Ideas are arriving faster. And the overall energy of the studio sessions has become more experimental.

According to Flomaticc, working with the MPC doesn’t feel like simply producing music—it feels more like conducting a sonic experiment.

Sampling, chopping, layering, and manipulating sound directly from the hardware has introduced a level of spontaneity and control that has increased both confidence and curiosity in the production process.

While Flomaticc has never owned previous MPC models, the Live III has already proven to be a powerful creative instrument.

As the exploration continues, Flomaticc plans to document the process and share discoveries with the community at Flomaticc.com.

More updates from the studio are coming soon.

Quick Interview with Flomaticc

Q: What made you switch to the MPC Live III?Flomaticc: I had never owned an MPC before, but I wanted something more tactile. When you physically interact with the music instead of clicking with a mouse, the whole energy changes.

Q: How has it changed your music so far?Flomaticc: The personality of the music is different. It feels more alive. Sampling and triggering sounds with the pads makes ideas come out in ways I didn’t expect.

Q: Would you recommend producers try the MPC?Flomaticc: If you really love producing, you should experience working with a tactile machine at least once. I can’t speak on the older MPCs, but this one has definitely changed how I approach music.

Q: What are you discovering while learning the device?Flomaticc: It starts to feel like a science. There’s a lot of experimentation with sampling, timing, and sound design. The deeper I go into it, the more I realize there’s a system behind everything.

Q: What’s next?Flomaticc: As I continue learning the MPC and getting familiar with it long-term, I’ll report my findings to Flomaticc.com. This is just the beginning.
