Sarah .. Dela soul use the MJ joint already . Break of Dawn .. classic.. Plus Jermaine Jackson and Tito , Randy is broke you’ll never get that sample cleared.. 😊 lol.. This what I want to see at this We all have different MPC laying around.. I’m feeling the 37 .. however I want my live to sync with the 37 , transport button.. so I can have my live in the live 2 next to my turntables In the other other room and the 37 in the control area. Akai need an instant sync set up in the preference tab . For example if you have the MPC Studio 2 / a Sync preference page will automatically combine both units instantly.. with the key 37 .. now you have large pads etc .. more buttons Qlinks .. It’s 2 the point when purchase 1 product the other is collecting dust! For now live 2.. Instant gear sync and a decent controller with nice keybed for customers who already have a MPC one , X , live .. those MPK controllers are toys .. better yet 88 hammer action.. MPX grand .. retro white . 1 unit..

Love the video 🔥my first equipment was Yamaha DJX keyboard with built in sampler when I was 18 for my birthday. It had a 6 track sequencer that was absolute 💩 but had good sounds and backing tracks too. Then I invested in Korg Triton and loved it just couldn’t get on with the sequencer on it. Then I got introduced by a good friend who had an mpc 2000 and he taught me how to use it. After that I bought the 2000xl and used the triton together and never looked back. Few years later I ended up buying the greatest mpc the 3000 and everything sampled and going through this machine bangs hard straight out the box 🔥🔥🔥

To be fair, it's more workstation than synthesizer. I've had my eye on one for a time but the red keeps putting me off. I'd like one in a nice shade of blue. The fact it can sample and beat slice means I'm seriously looking at it again. I bought that album myself waaaaayyyyy back in 1979. Yes, I'm THAT old. 🤣 Best track by far is "Rock With You". Edit: The more I think about it, the more I consider saving a little bit longer and getting a Roland Fantom 06 instead. I can beat slice in my DAW. 😁
