MPC Renaissance Shipped!!

Also as you can see its pretty big. Built to last. Metal frame. Pads feel awesome although all I have to compare it to is the trigger finger I have had for years

Thanks! I noticed on the boot up screen it says 32 bit... is there a 64 bit option?
Im not running this in 32 bit inside logic, would suck...

RunningOnE, you're using OSX and I presume Snow, Lion, or Mountain Lion. Why not just do a screen recording in place of the screenshots and upload it to YouTube? 30 to 60 images per second will say a lot more than 4 or so per post. If you don't have a third-party screen recording software, you can use Quicktime X.

Don't do it for me though, I'm only vicariously watching this unfold and giving it as a suggestion. Maybe Akai will be able to rekindle my interests fully, maybe not. We'll see. The 32bit question is a good one.

Props for posting the video and pics for everyone to see.

Is this your first MPC or do you have prior experience using earlier models?

Just asking so we can place your opinions in some sort of context.

Besides, you knew 1 000 000 questions were coming right?

Before you get too excited 4 of the 5 discs don't seem to have the samples working yet. You can not hear them and they will not load. However there is still a large amount working, but you have to drag every sample to where you want it on the pad. Reinstalled software but no difference.. Still a bunch of 60/2000/ 3000/ 5000 sounds and random samples to load and work with now

Still need to mess with chopping and make/save a kit to use

Looks tight.

god damn 1300$ and it doesnt even load the samples

I feel for you bro

Good pics!....Hope you lucky guys that already had MPC's land have fun!
Keep us posted until the Ren lands in Europe and we can join ya'll.

Thanks for the pics!

I ordered mine a week ago! i guess they got a real small shipment instead of the expected 50.

I just made my own deadline..... MORE PICS
