The greatest MPC of all time
Back in the '90s, I used the MPC-60, MPC-3000, and MPC 2000 and the MPC X is hands down my very favorite. It sounds great and I never grown tired of it as it continues to get better with every firmware update. The MPC workflow has always been my favorite way of creating music and the MPC X never disappoints...
Потрясающая машина
Через мои руки прошло множество семплером и в основном я использую любой семплер в качестве отдельного инструмента для написания трека внутри теми средствами, что предлагает устройство. Это апогей студийного аппарата "все в одном" с потрясающим звуком и возможностями.

So glad they took the time to make it right!
So glad they took the time to make it right! I started back on the mpc2000, then got a 4000... then DAMN the game changed now its all computer based VST's etc.. ALONG came another "machine" that I kept trying to like, but no matter how much I tried to use another platform I just couldn't get into it. I had a couple year period where I tried all different softwares and sequencers, but nothing could do it for me (at that time it was the renaissance). I hit a slump UNTIL Akai finally redeemed themselves with this MPCX model! I feel right back at home with the natural MPC swing, Sequencer style and song mode! not to mention you can sample directly in to it like the old MPC2000/4000. They basically took the best of the digital world and merged it with the old hardware that everyone loved.
