The History of The AKAI MPC: Part 1 The MPC 60

[@AMWTSCAM82]

This is the best break down and birth of the mpc 60 . Well said thanks

[@GeminiBrown]

I would randomly search for something like this for years but never found anything in-depth. I'm fresh off a fantastic concert at Yankee Stadium Celebrating Hip Hops 50th Birthday so I'm just going through the timeline. How Ironic the MPC was Released the same year thats considered the start of hip hops GOLDEN ERA. Thank you for this Fam

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Thanks we're trying to do more this year.

Good info. 1988 is the first time I used a Roger Linn Akai MPC 60 is at Funky Slice Studios in Brooklyn, NY, They also had a Akai MG 1212 I record on.

[@klownaround5464]

Where were they located?? I used to go to studios in the 80’s over there and i bought the AKAI 1212 recorder to and the MPC 60 ((i still have it here in my living room))

This is my first time coming across your channel; I've subscribed and decided to watch the whole playlist. I'm simply elated to be learning some music history from an OG. You my new uncle. lol

[@resleone6609]

Gotta say I really dug this. It’s one thing for folks to just read off some specs for a piece a gear, however you bring much more to the table. I appreciate not only the tech info about the gear but also these stories and experiences of yours. Very much looking forward to the rest of the series and all the further evolution of your channel. 🙌🏽

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Thanks I plan to do more.

I owned a Reel 2 Reel by Akai back-n-the-day, it was a solid unit! Great job on the history my brother; I remember it well, it was tough to take Akai seriously at first, with them being an okay home entertainment company; when Roland started making pro gear they changed their name to Roland from Ace Tone to avoid any stigma, that was a good business strategy, and it worked well. I'm late to the party; but better late than never, the X was the serious motivation for me; now I'm part of the family for life!

[@marcusholder495]

This is a very strong man that made this video very wise full of wisdom!!!

[@PhatLvis]

The Akai X7000 sampling keyboard was dope too - lower-fidelity samples, sounded like an SP-1200; great for late-80s/early-90s rap tracks.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Oh yes it was the ish”’

[@JGajet-nrg]

Bring it on I want to know the history as detailed as possible.

[@Nighthawkclips]

5000 is not bad it’s the test of time; those are products I don’t mind paying for Akai should take notes… all hardware companies should take notice move the needle forward like they did back in the 80s…. The engineering was so on point we are stuck in trying to re-create it. Great content 👍

[@marcthompson4661]

Bang for buck…mpc1k was the best hardware unit

[@zitosonic]

that would be around 13,000 dollars in today's money

[@davidscott2095]

Great video, Doc. Thank you. I would like to own a few of these older devices, but not being very techy, I am afraid of getting into these older machines, especially if they break down. Are there still available parts; I imagine it would be quite expensive to have professionally repaired, etc,

[@SampleKingsVideos]

No not that expensive use mine in the studio for years never had a problem for 15 years.

moved to FL in 1998 but the best beats were made on my MPC 60/ Now I use logic and am making way better beats, but I will never forget my time with my 60. 512 KB!!!!

[@B-Nice]

I bought one for $450 a few years ago, let a friend borrow it, and he sold it for booze. 🍺 Still kicking myself for that mistake!! 🦶💀

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Damn and ouch! Hope you can get it again for that price or cheaper some people never know the real price and value of an MPC60.
