MPC Touch Hands On Review - MPCMasters.com

[@justech]

I know this review is a little more than 3 years old, now, but it helped me make the decision to buy a used MPC Touch recently. Thanks for the detailed and thorough review!

[@ShogunnxYT]

how did you like it?

[@velartt]

can this work standalone? No connection to a computer, only power

[@YEE941]

Man this is so awesome how honest this review is. Some channels I seen think akai is God and never point out its short comings 🐸

[@tylerlw82]

+OG Jawdinz No kidding. Let's not kid ourselves, Akai has produced their share of lame weight.

[@cyorkgo]

I love how people are giving opinions on this and they haven't "Touched" one, don't own one, can't afford one! Great review Maschine Master.

[@beeisbad]

Bruh....the MPCtouch is ABSOLUTELY created to REPLACE the MPCren... no doubt! In fact, Swetwater, Zzounds and American Musical don't even sell the Ren anymore!!!!

[@rhythmcity2006]

Bee Gee yeah I wasn't feeling that I love the Ren !

[@userroscoe]

That's crazy because I got the last Ren from them

[@scienz]

buy and learn as much equipment as you want, but if you don't have soul and and an ear for music you're wasting your time.

[@SKODASKATFILMS]

scienz word

[@natanunorthodox]

That's right

[@Theckonestroh]

Truth be simple! Talent God handed out but didn't tell you what your talent was.

[@CallumRaab135]

I went to a music event today and saw someone using it and all I can say is it's bloody amazing! 5 minutes and I was sold. Bought it there and then. Enough said

[@Anonymous-yw6ik]

+Callum R Which event Callum?

[@CallumRaab135]

+Daniel Bird it was at this music production expo in North London Emirates stadium mate

[@TommyTench]

yo not having the locate buttons is a deal-breaker for me. the best thing about mpc's to me is the rock-solid sequencer. not sure why that was watered down

[@DeanLRoganII]

The very nanosecond you said, due to the wallwart plug being necessary to power the touchscreen, that this ain't meant for beatmaking on the bus, I said..."Welp, still got the 500..." #swingandamissforme

[@TheKing4576]

Just bought me one today used

[@Yosser70]

Thinking about it too. How you liking yours?

[@lanova13]

@@Yosser70same 😂. It seems better than the one in all aspects excepts it being standalone

[@savageparasyte76]

Trading in my studio and mikro for this. To me it seems like both of them combined with a touch screen and mpc pads. I'm going over to the akai siden

[@PHeMoX]

I'm going to bad you regret that decision seeing the MPC Live is out right now?

[@anthonydelgado8570]

Can you mix and master ALL on this thing? (Apply eq, compression, reverb, delay, etc to each sound?) If not, is it easy to export stems to FL Studio?

[@jimmythegent9190]

Diimes did you find your answer?

[@abe-lins3126]

this guy is the man great detailed review that kept it moving

[@audioplugg5310]

I just copped one the other day, and it's a beast to download the software and drivers. I think my pc is just trash though lol. I quickly learned that you have to wash your hands, and make sure they're dry before you go to work on this bad boy.

[@drill757]

In what way is this not a replacement for the Ren aside from the inputs on the back?

[@FuQyuuu]

I'm digging the portability .

[@theboxstudios6729]

MPC Touch Hands On Review. Informative review.

[@bairahrecordings]

Cool video.

[@MarcelandrieW]

Man I can't believe you have to power it with a wall wart......Definitely wasn't work the sacrifice of space in my opinion.

[@dimitriskampantaidis3648]

So it's standalone?

[@ZeMovinPixxle]

I never owned an MPC before since I'm just getting into this. So my question would be: As someone who has only had a Launchpad, would the mpc touch be my thing, or should I look for different hardware? Also: can I load any sample into this? like, my own custom things, or original songs that I'd like to steal from?

[@skotthall4090]

ZeMovinPixxle get a emu sp 1200

[@ZeMovinPixxle]

Skott Hall yeah bc i have like 4000$ for some collectors item...

[@skotthall4090]

ZeMovinPixxle I was just trolling you. The best actual advice I can give someone starting out with making hip hop beats is to let you know it don't matter what you use. All these samplers/daws all do the same shit.

[@admmusick]

can you separate the out puts? to used as a sequence ? like stereo outputs and maybe click on headphones?

[@andrewrichardsuk]

There's nothing you can't do with the MPC studio or ren (production wise) that you can do with the MPC touch, as they're all simply controllers for exactly the same software 1.9 to date!

[@taztykake9366]

so there's no controlling capabilities that's different? like I noticed u can hold a button down and do a drum roll on the ren.. how bout on the touch?

[@TheMa5terMau5]

+Maschine Masters you didn't say if it is a standalone or not???

[@PHeMoX]

He did. He said it's not. It's also not USB powered.

[@peterespinoza9206]

sup bro I'm a drummer and I would like to get something to make beats and tracks to play along with would you recommend this product or something else please reply

[@jittisoolt5927]

Thanks for doing this review!

[@skoolhitdabutton]

Needing a MPC touch expert in Columbus, OH.....holla !

[@warnutztheloser]

Think I'll stick 2 my Renaissance

[@jmo2000xl1]

This is clearly before he fell in love with it LOL! That Machine and work flow is dope as fuck.

[@Nobody95008]

so between the akai mpc touch and mpc ren which is better and advanced

[@cyorkgo]

Hey bro .. I use both. Cant say one is better than the other. The Touch is more advanced ONLY because of the Touch Screen which is a lot. I have been using the Touch a lot more than the Ren since I got the Touch. Both are beast and serve their purpose. The Touch is a little more portable than the Ren, which make it easier to travel with.

[@Nobody95008]

+cyorkgo thanks man

[@Nobody95008]

+cyorkgo does it have native indian percussion vst inside i am from d caribbean looking for tablas dholaks and other drum plugins

[@SimpleGuyTai]

the review mentions that you can't just take it anywhere to hang out spots and make beats. should I just get the Renaissance? or would you guys recommend something portable to make beats on the go?

[@Nobody95008]

ableton push 2

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

How much would you charge to design a studio for someone with a $50,000 budget?

[@famixrap]

good review! can someone tell me if there are instruments in the software or just drums and loops?

[@ClutchBeatz]

Buying one

[@lordeowstheking]

thanks for the review

[@harryballsonya7182]

Mpc live FTW!

[@MuzikkZone]

ITS COO BUT IT AINT FOR ME. THE REN IS MY LANE. THE TOUCH SCREEN DOESNT MAKE ME GO CRAZY

[@1.2.3.4..5]

Why caps?

[@SanplerVarondaro]

yeahhhh power on

[@DieMasterMonkey]

Informative, thank you sir. I'm committed to live performance with no PC, so it's not gonna' do me but this review was very very useful in my research. Pad banger props man.

[@RichTancredi]

Do the A/D converters sound better on this than the ones on the MPX16? Has anyone A/B'd them?

[@MuzikkZone]

REAL HONEST REVIEW. THAT'S WUTS UP. HELLFIRE AINT KISSING NO ASS...LMAO

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

Do you need a Daw like studio one or pro tools to make music with it?

[@johnrodriguez5872]

It comes with its own software to use

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

is the a built in interface, can I plug in a Yamaha Motif or a bass guitar?

[@purpleraindropstudio6697]

looks like fun

[@omgmazin]

the touch is different, but it's a great product, I I have one.

[@andrewrichardsuk]

It runs exactly the same software that the studio and ren does ,therefore there's nothing it can do more (production wise) than the others! Plus... If ya out on the road using it usb powered the screen is off!

[@LeeDaHitman]

This shit looks fire

[@Maulleygxxx]

never had an mpc product... gonna take the plunge... AFTER I see what NI is going to do. I know it's coming. Touch...Push 2...I know NI is going to join the fray...

[@YEE941]

Competition is great. These boxes are just getting better and better

[@sr7bbird]

You need to do reviews for Palmolive not musical instruments!

[@majewskimusic]

Super!, Thanks, ;-)

[@djsmoothc39able]

It's cool but it's not for me I feel that should dropped before the renaissance

[@williamwilkinson4756]

Waste of time. Didnt even turn it on. Thanks for telling us about how the buttons feel.

[@gtubgle]

yo blood you like red huh

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

way better than the ren

[@kable1982]

just getting into the technical part of production my boy got a renaissance and honestly I rather buy the renaissance don't like what I'm seeing here looks like a down grade.

[@KEYBEATZ]

it is compared to the Renaissance. in my opinion. the thing that I don't like the most about these new akai products is the sorry software 1.9 doesn't impress me either

[@beeisbad]

The Akai Ren is now nothing more than an expensive usb hub!!

[@taztykake9366]

Bee Gee u think so? why did he say it's not a replacement for the rennaisance?

[@Chanbeats]

can you do a review on impc pro hands on?

[@gpamediallc6289]

Lmao it isn’t going to a beauty pageant!!! I swear all I could see is some female producer’s beat tape cover that is an MPC with a tiara on top. I know she’s out there somewhere!

[@broderickthompson7006]

MPC2000XL !!!! All u need and a good keyboard these companies just trying and getting more money and this toy here is a waste mpc 2000 3000 and 4000 are the best beat machines

[@beatave]

lol he looks so un-enthusiastic reviewing this now the live is out...

[@coolpeople5537]

ever since new mark bought'em out they doped the ball. They really don't care about the American market or pro Djs and producers for that matte,r there target market is kids not real pros think about it, if your a real producer you know this stuff is toy. And what there really saying is, who cares there making money forget all you loyal customers that build the company. its time to leave akia until the get it right they need to come correct i don't know about you but I see the real.

[@railpressureflip]

You never even show it in operation. Useless review

[@Baltamore]

Making beats walking on the streets :D lol!

[@djnkm2774]

its cool but i couldnt stay 12 minutes without plugin'it ! haha !

[@coolpeople5537]

Akia turned toy the whole daw game is toy, its not real pro midi, akai went from being number 1 to just another competitor. they made 67 million on these toys and they've lost so much quality. They still cant beat the work flow of the 2000xl the time coding or play back engine IE sound quality. It looks like akai is just living off its old rep with a bunch of euro trance Dj over teching with fake features that wont even help your production one bit. Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids akai has officially lost its pro status and is know a toy for kids. turst me I've used akia produts for over 15 years they don't make'em like they used to. download the instruction Manuel of the 2000 xl and see for your self. these are just my thoughts and experience stick to FL 11 you'll be much happier

[@meandminespro7]

Holy shi....dude talking to much

[@JEFFMAN90]

Its a review of a product what the fuck were you expecting idiot.
