The History of the AKAI MPC: Part 13 The Re-Birth of the MPC X & MPC Live.

[@Supreme_Kommandah]

I have the MPC Live 2 and I don’t see myself buying anymore samplers.. I love it.. I can literally do what I want to any sound

[@elusivemite]

I have an MPC x. I can see myself buying a live for portability and project compatibility

[@SampleKingsVideos]

No need you have the same science as the MPC x your good to go!

[@mb2776]

I have mine for over a week now, it's a blast to work with! yeah it's not perfect but the speaker is totally underrated and the workflow is truly awesome! I do jungle most of the time and even with the newer mpc u can still do some cool tricks like using the step sequencer as an automation tool for pad tuning a snare for that classic jungle snare roll! It's my first mpc ever and I was really afraid having trouble with understanding the OS, main screen and stuff but it clicked really really fast. true, looking at the manual and a few yt video wasn't a bad idea but still, I had way way more trouble understanding the user interface of any old vintage digital synthesizer, still have^^

[@richibucki]

I have the live but really want an mpc 60 lol

[@Pezzone14]

Grande Doc! Been a customer since 2004, you helped me learning my MP2KXL. Peace from Pisa, Italy

[@KojiroMC]

Got me a MPC X a few months ago and I'm very impressed by it. Still learning....

@@SampleKingsVideos Already watched this fam! Very helpful! Thx for your great work!!!

[@audiolego]

Yayyyyy MPCX user here🎉🎉🎉🎉. Since early 2018. It's my drum machine, sampler and sequencer. I also use the 2.0 in controller mode as I like the audio drag and drop to DAW. It's a great audio interface too.

[@streetlife20]

Got both. Both perfect.

[@billiondollarbeats]

great 😃👍 have the X, yes perfect

[@mont-doggBeats]

Man Look, I swear the Mpc x is what I saw in my dreams after my mpc 5000 and when the Renaissance first came out, this was when iPads and Android Tablets were fresh on the scene, I never thought they would actually make it but ,boom they pulled it off ..now I’m just waiting to see that car I drew in kindergarten pull up 😂😂

[@chosenonebeats]

They should have named the MPC X The Beast because that's exactly what is.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

It does it all and my video will help anyone learning it today.

[@binarysun_]

Love my X. It’s definitely not perfect. But a fun beast and any successor needs to be more than that which will be a tough job for Akai. Let’s hope they will accomplish the job

[@SampleKingsVideos]

My wife been trying to change me for years to me it’s the best I can be for now. That’s what I think about the MPC X it’s perfect for now.

[@billiondollarbeats]

@@SampleKingsVideos yes, it isn't broken, let it blossom, let it be it's full potential

[@chadpescod-realtor3308]

I haven't tried the x yet. I love the Live so I could see it being amazing.

[@88keyz]

👍🏾

[@chaintrolab2585]

Is MPC Live or X a standalone machine to play techno live? So few videos of Akai users playing techno: any recommendation? I currently have Octatrack and consider a Live or X.

[@billiondollarbeats]

I own the X and yes you can play live techno with it, easy

[@SampleKingsVideos]

There's no problem with Tecno or any other music.

[@rustwolf]

I'm not too familiar with techno but the akai force maybe more suited to it. Definitely worth taking a look

[@Iredidv]

Look for the fjaak vids, their mpc x one: youtu.be/xLb77qhAB and then surprise surprise, the maschine plus one lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/bV6reH-oj91nY5I tbh I have an mpc one and m+, and prefer my m+. Why? Nothing to do with the gear, but muscle memory. I started with maschine 1.0 so what +10 years of using it I don't remember anymore, and only 1 year of mpc one experience. So end conclusion if you either take the live 2 mpc or maschine plus, it doesn´t really matter anymore. The biggest cost, is the time you put in learning it. Yes one can do this better and the other one can do that, but compared to the old series of mpc like the 1000 or 2500 they both are heaps better. In the end it´s the artist, not the gear.

[@Alperunal80]

i try to do that.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnzZlmWOqMejo6M

[@billiondollarbeats]

8:15 Is it $1, 579?

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Used MPC X

[@billiondollarbeats]

@@SampleKingsVideos oh, okay 👍

[@Becauseimme]

I’m still rocking with the OG Live and I’m still happy with everything I will never upgrade. It does what I need it to do and more. I can take it anywhere, I even made a beat at J Dilla’s grave on his birthday.

[@dianevrules]

Not the best. Any MPC that doesnt contain SMPTE reader/generator is just a music workstation. Not a midi production center. Because it cant sync with non-midi gear. Which is terrible. One would think that anything new can do wtf the old s7&^^ did. I see why they changed MPC to music production center

[@franklinpurnell8373]

What would you be using SMPTE for these days?

[@chosenonebeats]

SMPTE is waaaay outdated, why would they put that old tech in when a very small fraction of buyers would even consider using it? You want to use old tech fine, then do it on old gear.

[@streetlife20]

Don’t need it

[@billiondollarbeats]

In 2022, MPC stands for Music Production Center

[@SampleKingsVideos]

I wish they had it as a pro engineer I need it when working with clients that do film scoring, TV commercials, etc. I think in, the future, they are going to write the code for smpte then use an output.
