Hi thinking of Buying MPC studio Black need advice please

I bought the MPC software stand alone it works fine , now i need a controller, so i guessed the MPC studio Black should be the right choice.
I am running Windows 7 64Bit
any users here manage working with this configuration?

please let me know before i make a silly mistake.
Thanks

Better list here your computer specs not just operating system.

For that price range, I would suggest you can get the MPC Touch. It's basically everything the MPC LIVE is without being a standalone device. Search ebay and you can find them for a really good price.

Agree with the above post, the Touch is really nice and you'll get a good audio interface as well.

I'm running W7 64 bit and MPC software is running great.

1. I don't really need an audio interface, I have an RME And i'm happy with it.

2. I'm used to the 2500 and i likes the idea that with the Studio Black + Software i still get to press knobs and not a touch screen scrolling windows , i think it's more intuitive.
correct me if i'm wrong here..

3. I think The Studio Black can be used to easily control other software like groove Agent or Ableton, while the Touch is more MPC software dedicated, Am i Wrong Here?


I'd love to hear from someone who actually uses a Studio Black with Win7 64Bit and can confirm it's working correctly

I just upgraded from an MPD232 running mpc2.2 to a studio black. Wow I should of done this sooner than later. Works well with high sierra on my 2014 MBP. I’m a tactile memory person so the studio will fit my Elektron / Mpc rig because I am able to remember the buttons in low light. It’s cool how I bought my studio used and akai let me have 2.0 with the soundbanks for free.

This feels like my 2000xl all over again.
