Yo I feel fortunate to have a brand new MPC X here ,
being that it seems people are still waiting to get there hands on it all over the world .
This instrument is amazing , built quality is state of the art , little thing that go unnoticed like the power switch
that saves you from accidentally shutting down with out saving because it asked you 1st before shut down , this
is not possible with a standard on/off switch and I think it's brillant .
I feel that Akai have addressed so many issues that it almost feel wrong to complain , I mean they really didn't hold anything back and maybe even spoiled us a little . here's a list of some of the unnoticed things that I love .
1. real time metering- , it's just dope to see the lights jumping in color thats not software based but real .
2. O-led scribble scrips- , com-on man just dope 17 of them , agin one under the real metering showing you status dope .
3. The Master/Mic-Pre knobs- feels like a pro instrument it just works with a quick grab real-time no software .
4. Front inputs and head phone monitoring - very convenient if this was a cat that would be a luxury upgrade .
5. Pad led's- don't light up the whole pad making it look like a disco floor from Dance Fever they serve a real purpose and light up around the base making the MPC X look serious and not like a toy .
6. The option to put a SSD dive inside- is crazy pimp .
7. Two usb ports- , just more pimp (means you got options )
8. Direct access from function buttons under the screen- ( just go to it )
These are just my little list of little things that add on to the dimensions of the X before we even get to the beautiful touch screen , Q-links , CV and all this stuff and we didn't even have breakfast yet . Not to mention
what I fell is the Awesome 2.0 that let you jump in and out of worlds and workflows at the touch of a button .
I luv it , luv it , luv it .
I'm no MPC expert or fanatic but this thing is dope AF .
I just wish Akai will do more pro videos showing us workflow and how to use the dam thing , tired of seeing a bunch of scrubs on you tube fronting like they the Alchemist or JD .
I thought the Video with Tim Kelly was amazing , we need more inspiration videos like that from cats who really know what there doing , Ive learned so much from that and from buying the pack awsome .
For me the MPC X is not just a instrument but a learning tool to help me achieve my goals of being a great producer in my own right by learning from some of the best in the world at it . Anybody here who just want to learn and master this thing and not just complain all the dam time ?
Anybody feel me then stand up ?
A-lot of us may have bought a MPC for the very 1st time because we were inspired by the workflow , you know a new generation who respect the history and contributions of the past .
So Akai it's up to you to help steer us in the right direction of just being dope with a MPC .
Veteran MPC users share with the new and lets all get this .
