would be great if you could post some links of stuff actually working instead of dud prototypes which are nowhere close to being finished, they havent even coded vst part yet and he couldnt even demo timestretch

I didnt even think of that???

Hmmm I could possible save myself a ton of money if I could use my 2500.

Thats a possibility if the software comes out good.

Yea seeing a lot of the gear in glass containers is pretty scary. :lol:

Well from the questions they asked it didnt sound like you can buy the software alone.

The MPC project manager/pad controllerist dude said in the video that you have to buy the controller to get the software, although a cracked version will inevitably appear in torrents/warez boards anyway.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Dope Beat on the Ren!! :mrgreen:

so the Ren has 'the same outputs as the mpc3000 using a 24 bit ADD convertor' .....i am curious about ther mpc60 and mpc3000 mode...i guess its software algorhythm or does anyone have info showing otherwise.....


**** that beat was awful!!!

I think we found somebody for MIDI to battle. :lol:

This I'm confused about, because isn't the 3000 16-bit? So what makes these the same outputs, or is it just an old stock of 1/4" jacks they found in their warehouse from 1994? :roll:

Good video by sounds and gear they covered a lot of users questions. Though I wished they used a hd camera :lol: . The ren is shaping up nicely.

In the videos they clarified what the Ren offers. It has a modern 24 bit 96kHz analog and digital I/O. The circuits before the AD/DA conversion is the same as the MPC 3000. The circuits combined with the software gives the MPC Ren the sound character of the MPC 3000 and 60. It depends on how much money I spend in Namm new products...but I may buy an MPC 3000 and do some AB comparisons with the Ren.
