I’ve had The X for almost 4 years and it has exceeded my expectations especially coming from the MPC 2000, when I got the MPC X I went to Guitar center to buy the MPC live and some guy was bringing the X back, I took the money I had for the MPC LIVE and put it down on the X and came back two weeks later and picked it up.

Akai is not like Apple in that they'd announce that "We'll tell you what's coming later" which might give you a hint not to buy the old stuff as new stuff may be close.

Yeah. Really hard to learn mpc. It has really strange architecture where you can get to places from 3-4 different spots. It doesn't make any sense until it does. I miss gui song mode, but once you master the art of copying sequences you'll be faster and faster. I'd say at least 50% would be spending time into arranging your library. If you're experienced producer you probably have your library already. 10 vst max, maybe few kontakt libraries etc. I personally sample my own keyboards and right now I struggle to convert my legacy samples into akai format. What is really cool is ability to autosample. Not everything works automatically, but most stuff do, so you can fire your mpc in controller mode and autosample specific patch or even full orchestral library from your kontakt. I was digging old akai libraries and I would say most of it is thrash, mostly east-west ,spectrasonics stuff worth your time, and probably tried golbaby 808/909. Once you spend a week finetuning your library, you'll be very fast with mpc. Also I think you need modi keyboard to really open up mpc. Again mpc has 3 or 4 ways to do same thing. Ableton has 1 or 2, but is extremely modular. Mpc is anti-modular. Super rigid structure, but with a lot of shortcuts.

I loved my mpc but eventually realised I was using it exactly the way I did Ableton - just with all the restrictions of the mpc, on a small screen with limited tracks, synths and effects. I couldn't see the point. Now my mpc is leaning in the corner and I'm loving Ableton again.

The mic input part of the MPC X is not just straight forward plug it in and you hear something. It's just like a daw where you have to assign the audio input to the track you want and arm to record. Also having your knobs set right because it's like the top right of the MPC X is like a audio interface. I had the toughest time wrapping my head around it. I thought the XLR input was faulty. Then when I did it I was like ohh okay.

I have the MPC Live 2 and it has changed my life and production period, I was FL Gang 4 Life until I got one of these and I never looked back at a PC for nearly a year, I only use my PC now as a sound module and complete all beats via standalone mode with this MPC from the gods, if you saw no complaints in this video it's truly because Akai has crafted something using black magic, the only complaints this machine ever has is very rarely it may crash after a major update but then Akai fixes it with the next minor update and we get back on track, the complaint is how long until I make some more 2 minutes from now. If you're mad about the price let me tell you it's beyond worth it in this case, go-to Zzounds or somebody and get one today. Took me a year to get one because when the Live 2 first came out it immediately sold out for that long, finally got one and haven't been disappointed yet, must buy period and works better with software if you need more sounds which it can store on the MPC with it's autosampler or you can simply use the looper function and keep it moving, endless possibilities

Yeah man I got mine last year. I just stared at it for hours like WTF! YO! WTF look at it! Dammmn. I couldn’t believe what was going on when I pressed play and heard it play for the first time in my semi truck. It sounded crazy like a masterpiece demo and then I made a beat that was so rich with feeling and banging the crap out of my truck speakers I just laughed. Long story short it’s simply amazing.

I love the MPC X because it paved the way for the MPC Live, Live II, One and the new studio. Maybe it paved the way for the Akai Force too. Keep em coming though, I love these types of videos.

wonder if Akai scrapped the sampling keyboard, i figure it wont have all the features of the X.. most likely a One with some added features and extra outputs and will be priced between the Live and X..
@DyReckProductions2 жыл бұрын
I think a sampling keyboard from Akai would be dope..But I think they feel they might not sell that much.

I somehow doubt they'll make a sampling keyboard ever again. It makes more sense to make something like the MPC Live with the ability to plug in a MIDI keyboard. If the world of gear has taught me anything though, it's to expect the unexpected. Things come back around in fashion

Thanks for these synthesizer sampler drum video's. Really cool. 2 synth sampler devices that I think would be interesting too are the Roland VariOS and VP-9000. I think they were the predecessor of the V-synth in some way but not for long in production. At the time the DAW's and softsynths became popular and pushed hardware to the background.

The MPC X is a beast. Once I get done converting my MPC2500 drum programs to work in my MPC X and MPC One, it's game over!!!! I would say the MPC X and the MPC4000 are the most powerful MPCs ever made. Ahmmm.... The MPC X is still a current flagship product. Isn't it a bit too early for a WHHW episode on this one? It is still a "present tense" machine, as of the typing of this post. Maybe you were forward thinking and intended this video for a future era when the MPC X gets discontinued and gets a successor. Never the less, I'm glad you made this video and I highly enjoyed it. So, THANK YOU for that. You are absolutely right. Not much negative can be said about the MPC X. It is such a wonderful and well designed product. Now, I would like to see a WHHW video on the Roland R-8 drum machine and the R-8M sound module version. Oh, those wonderful SN-R8-04 Electronic (808) and SN-R8-10 Dance (909) cards sound so good!!! They are so expensive now. For this reason, I'm glad I still have mine and I won't ever sell them. That R-8M midi module was probably a 90's secret weapon among the producers of the time. Soon, I will be sequencing mine with my MPC X making 808 beats ready to blow a woofer in a Cadillac near you!!!!

Real talk The MPC X IS ON SOME NEXT LEVEL UNDISPUTED. INMUSIC BURIES THE COMPETITION ON THE STAND ALONE'S. I have the triple threat of the Akai MPC one, the Akai Force and the NI Maschine plus, on my way to the MPC X. I swear INMUSIC is on a few of my bank statements. $2300 almost the price of the MPC 60 back in the day. Storage all day Beats for decades.
