How Akai doomed its hardware MPC in 2008. MPC 5000 Thoughts

[@theoutsideas]

The 5000 is the best Build of a MPC by akai .. It was one update from being the greatest MPC ever

[@ceddmack2816]

Totally under rated. Slept on. Love it.

[@Kiing36]

Didn’t know of the 5000 till your video preciate you mane just getting into the MPC game great to have options

[@hypebeastdad]

Yeah it’s dope. Find one for the low make sure it works mine the cf reader is messed up but it has a hard drive so I’m good

[@briansansone]

Never had any MPC. There's a 5000 for $600 on CL. Looks nice..clean. says it works fine. Whatcha think? I'm a drummer, use synths, and have sampled a tiny bit. I love the style of music MPCs have birthed, and have always wanted to try sampling. I have a record player too, and tons of records.

[@dassolosyndikat5113]

Go get it if you haven't already.

[@a_unknown_ghoul]

The 5000 is 🔥Way under rated!

[@QUANTUMprojection]

I love my MPC 5K,it’s a MIDI Sequencing BEAST!I left it stock blown out memory I just ordered 8 cables for the analog outputs but on an impulse ordered an optical ADAT Cable to handle 8 outputs just for shits and giggles to see how I like it.

[@hypebeastdad]

That’s dope. I love this machine. I’m about to work on it later

[@professorplums722]

My favourite MPC....sold the 4K, 1K and 0.5K.....love the 5K....it just cooks 👍

[@YakDiezel]

Just got one and the more I learn the more I'm exited to make something happen with this monster!! also i got a ren and it helped me understand the 5000. that head down work using just the screen is more about the creativity than looking on my computer screen.

[@streetlife20]

5000 is a beast still ;)

[@chosenonebeats]

If you don’t know the 5K has a piano roll editor on it!!! Waaaay ahead of it’s time.

[@1NemCis]

5K is a beast!!!😊

[@unworthyServant08]

No lie, I'm kinda tired of the MPC versus videos... Let's all make heat with our weapons of choice. There's enough space for all of them!

[@hypebeastdad]

I feel it. To be honest this whole situation is showing who actually works on mpcs and make industry level music on it

[@exodusgrindtimerecordings1778]

Your right I can’t lie but also can’t lie again I love the beef lmfao

[@linuspowers]

The 5000 is physically just super attractive. I've never owned an MPC. I've made music on a Yamaha QY700, written beats on an Alesis SR18, and I wrote songs in Guitar Pro for years. I'm trying to determine if an MPC is right for me since it's got so much history and I'm very much a hardware guy

[@blumusicgroup]

Love my 5000

[@hypebeastdad]

It’s a great machine.

[@blumusicgroup]

@@hypebeastdad for sure!

[@RalphLBaer]

Got an MPC live 2, 6 months ago. It’s got everything I want and need.

[@hypebeastdad]

I had a live 2 it’s dope. I sold it tho. Still got the og live

[@tracksphantom540]

Thanks for the Gems and jewels I liked and subscribed to. Looking forward to more helpful tips and tricks .

[@MakingMadBeats]

The 2500 SE to me is the most beautiful MPC ever made ♥️

[@hypebeastdad]

I agree.

[@therealdjdontstop]

I love my Mpc5000 and how it work..but.. maybe with the Ram Expansion can be more reactive and fast.. Do you have the expansion?

[@hypebeastdad]

I do have the expansion I don’t think it’s faster

[@therealdjdontstop]

​@@hypebeastdad 😌i'm rediscovering the arp with the sinths sounds.. superserious but hard to obtain a perfect liveset when change from a sinth track to another... little freezes when i change program ..little latency

[@donnyblacko]

the most underrated mpc!

[@dufurst]

I went as far as to email them about a certain type of glow in the dark pad; and they just be saying no. 0 info on if it’ll come back, fun stuff. I wanted some glow in the dark purple pads.

[@hypebeastdad]

Me too. I spent a lot with them over the years

[@dufurst]

@@hypebeastdad they know how to get ya. Dem bastids. 😄

[@fantasyproduct1042]

MPC Stuff has loads of mods to pimp it up

[@SauceSoundz]

Damn def will look into this if i could find it cheap

[@hypebeastdad]

Yeah just make sure it’s in good shape. People didn’t take care of these

[@chokboywonda]

The 5000 was my 1st mpc. I did not have the patience to learn it and work it out. I used to literally fall asleep using it 😃 so i stopped trying. I still have it and did not go any further into beat making, kept saying I'd try again but never fully got into it. Years later I have the live 2 and its great. Some day I'm gonna try tje 5000 again 👍

[@hypebeastdad]

Pull it out today and see where you go. Sounds like you’ll be way better now

[@zapatatheghost90026]

I own 2 5ks my fave

[@hypebeastdad]

Dope this my second one. It’s in timeout rn cause it froze when I was chopping a sample

[@zapatatheghost90026]

@@hypebeastdad damn mine has frozen maybe 3 times in 7 years

[@hypebeastdad]

@@zapatatheghost90026 yeah I never seen that before.

[@paserpase2870]

Im about to get the mpc x se but i haven't seen no good videos with its sound performance yet, all i never that classic clear sound but some people said it has vintage mode, but i have been seeing videos from mpc 5000 users & the sound is very amazing 👏 so intil i hear an mpc x se in vintage mode i will be getting the mpc 5000,

[@hypebeastdad]

Or a 2500 with jjos!

[@richardbebe25]

Yo tengo 2 mpc5000.... Tengo muchas mpc y me encanta la 5000... Es grande y el sonido es fordisimo

[@BDAILEY702]

Hmm. This is interesting take. Ik you can find some not too expensive. i’m currently in search of a 2500

[@normanosbourne5050]

The 2.0 sequencer is pretty accurate. I prefer it over my 2500.

[@hypebeastdad]

Me too.

[@VALENTINE-RECORDS]

What’s a good price for a mpc5000

[@hypebeastdad]

@@VALENTINE-RECORDS depends because the last one I got wasn’t 💯 percent working. The prices rn are crazy. But I feel anything under 700 is fair. I would look for one from 4-600

[@dji.e.3868]

5k is the best.

[@ProSimex84]

Just got home with my first MPC, a 5000. So far ive found the hard drive is garbage, and a ram expansion was fucking shit up. Now it randomly restarts. But, i got it cheap, and i will make it work.

[@bigpressure00]

It’s hit or miss with the 5k update the os and get busy u should be good

[@teezbeats7531]

Love it...but,its no for beginners.....aint no toy..4 midi outs so i got 5 sound modules, fantom ,triton, motif...coming out mackie 24/8 and no daw can match the sound

[@matthewgaines10]

They seem to be doing just fine for being doomed.

[@hypebeastdad]

Clickbait but it did take a while to get another hardware flagship model. I’m all about hardware

you need the JJOS2XL man

just blaze made song cry on it

[@hypebeastdad]

He definitely didn’t bro song cry was 2002. ☝️

[@theoutsideas]

@@hypebeastdad yea my bad . Just blaze made a statement about song cry in his rant, about it was chopped on 96 pads and on the 5000 you couldn’t tune a whole program at once . They fixed it on the 2nd update tho.

[@desmondlucas5243]

Lloyd banks-my flight was made on a 5000

[@hypebeastdad]

There we go. I’m going go listen rn

[@hypebeastdad]

Who produced this beat? This is hard..

[@hypebeastdad]

So I found the producer and he verified he made it on a 5000.

[@djekse]

Get converters for it if you're not happy with it's sound. I should have kept my 2500. The 5000 got the worst sound of all legacy mpcs. The Live, Ren, MPC 1 all have trash/weak software sound. Only good for workflow. Sound is what I'm about. I had a Ren, major regret, same as software.

[@hypebeastdad]

@@djekse sound is good to me
