Thanks again to everyone for all your kind compliments. It's truly overwhelming and much appreciated. If you don't mind, I’d like to kindly ask to show you two videos of my current “LinnStrument” musical instrument. There are close to 5000 LinnStrument players in the world, but surprisingly few hip hop artists among them. This surprises me because its 3D touch sensing adds so much to the musician’s creative palette, which I think would take hip hop in all new directions. Here’s a video I made, showing how LinnStrument’s 3D touch sensing can be used for beatmaking, capturing subtle touch gestures that ordinary 1D pads can’t do. Please forgive my old-fashioned music and try to imagine what you could do with it in your music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnm6o4apbdRkjJYsi=Yzy_Q16s3oI0ucMB And here’s a compilation of some of the better LinnStrument players. Again, try to imagine how you could use LinnStrument to take your music in new creative directions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3W3mp6NZqd5qposi=Y0OgBv8yvbUh3mg9 And here’s the LinnStrument page on my web site: www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument Thank you kindly for taking a moment to give this a little thought.

As a hip hop artist 15-20 years ago, at the time, I drooled over your gear (still do), but it was just out of my price range. Looking back I wish I had just figured out how to borrow, or finance somehow because I think I truly would have had a different way to interface what I thought could be the new sound. Roger Linn was and still is ahead of his time. God its actually making me tear up writing this.

This is the guy that invented 16 pads. 16 levels. Quantizing (I think. He called it timing correct.) And a bunch of other user friendly features.

Roger Linn has to be one of the humblest and intelligent individuals on this Earth. Years ago, I reached out to him in search of career advice. I was young, foolish, and unsure of what or where I was going in life (not much has changed, lol). Roger replied with an informative and somewhat lengthy reply. He didn't have to reply to me but he took the time out of his busy schedule to reply. His advice invaluable. He is a man of great wisdom, accomplishment, and he has made life better for many individuals. He's done and continues to do great work. Thank you Mr. Linn,

Its hard to imagine the music making world without the innovations of Mr. Linn. He invented velocity-sensitive pads. He invented the concept of 16 pads. And he decided that any sound you can capture can be yours to use. He also decided that you should be able to play the drums with your hands live without needing a keyboard. I've also come to learn that with the 16 pads, you don't need a keyboard to play keyboard even. Mr. Linn designed instruments used by big name artists as well as the 9-5er who makes music for themselves after work. And in a badass little box. Now he's pushing the limits of expression with his MPE keyboards, continuing what he started with velocity.

I bought my first MPC back in 1991, the 60ii, the floppy drive only crapped out last year, superb machine. A few years after '91 I bought a secondhand ASQ-10, just as a backup, still works fine, all be it a little battle scarred from lending it out over the years. Bought a 2000xl SE1 when they came out, another superb machine. I bought an MPC-1 a couple of years ago, just to have a DAW style sequencer, and transient chopping capabilities for breakbeats, without having to have a laptop in my "therapy cell" set up, I really liked it, - so.., I bought the MPC live2 earlier this year, just to have the bigger pads, and extra audio and midi outputs. tbh, the only effects I currently use within the new units are the Air Parametric EQ, Custom Distortion and the Grime Distortion, I prefer using external outboard for the compression, reverbs, delays, etc, - not that the onboard ones aren't usable, I just have a tried and tested method for getting my sound, besides I personally feel that trying to do everything in one box leads to a less 3 dimensional sound, - but that might just be me. - I'm no professional, just another idiot with enough money to spend on toys that fed my autistic need for sonic manipulation, just someone who worked hard and played hard, - but my whole life experience would have been so very different, without your amazing, original ideas. god bless you Roger

Crazy cause I’m seeing this video because not long ago I thought of this year being the 30th anniversary of the MPC 3000. I also remembered me emailing Roger in 2014 being curious about the possibility of a 20th anniversary of the 3000 and he actually replied (which I was in awe) however his reply was direct, basically in short, he said to the degree of never again working with Akai. To see him even using and then reviewing a new MPC after his 3000 is great enough. I know we’d all love if a renewed relationship happen with Akai that’ll ignite a new Roger Linn designed MPC. Keeping my fingers crossed.🤞🏼 I’ve absolutely loved the MPC since my first time using a 3000 in 1996. Thank you Roger!!!

I remember trying the MPC 60 in 88 at Sam Ash when I was 16-17, using the 60, 60II and 3000 on several records throughout the 90s. My first personal MPC was the 2000, but it contained your sequencer design. I own the One Plus and I have to say that even with all the new features, it still maintains that classic workflow. Even Reason having Block Mode helped me maintain the pattern based mindset for songwriting different sections. We really appreciate you and thank you for everything

Thank you for the development of the MPC. You have change the world with this thing. It's a shame how they tossed you to the side. But it's good they decided to give you both the CREDIT and RESPECT YOU DESERVE. What would be more respectful of Akai is to bring you back so you can help clean up and improve some of the OLD FASHION (or the dated) ways of programing and making music with the MPC. WE NEED IMPROVEMENT more than we need another variation of the MPC. You need to be commended for your forgiveness by doing this video. Glad to see that you at least landed on you feet without missing a beat!

When I first touched the MPC 3000...it was electrifying. I had no formal music training, never played piano, nada! I was blessed to be an MC starting off in a professional studio on Hollywood BLVD. I learned quickly, and have been able to own an MPC 2000XL. Thank you for every second of work you did and most of all, accepting our style of music.

I sure didn't know that Mr. Linn was the inventor of the MPC line. I did know that he has invented other instruments. Such a talented person who has changed the world for the better. One day soon I will buy a Akai MPC Live 2. For me it's an expensive purchase that I have to save up for. I'm determined to get this awesome instrument soon.

When I first heard Prince & The Revolution's Purple Rain album I didn't believe they used a drum machine. The LM-1 inspired me to use drum machines rather than learn to play drums in order to make music. Roger Linn is one of the most important figures in bringing music creation to the masses. Thank you.

Hi Roger! You should measure the clock jitter of midi out with an oscilloscope. You’d be surprised how unstable these new mpcs are, clock’s all over the place. Had to sell my live mk2 as mostly anything being slaved to the clock was drifting out of sync, that’s just my two cents. I wanted to ask how was the original MPC 60’s clock so stable, was it quartz locked or something?
