Mpc's use more than just hiphop

I even made theater/musical shit (sampled though) and a few radio jingles with it.

I've used mine for drum n bass, rnb, shit.. I even played a classical(esque) track playin the pads live (check the youtube link). MPC can do whatever.

Hey dude, mpc's were not originally designed to make "hiphop" they just got adopted into it kinda like the technics 1200's did back in the day too


you can make bluegrass with it if ya want

marvin gaye had an mpc?

-breakcore, over 210 bpms intricated break n hardcore work
-dubstep
-industrial
-even some "digital folk" ...thanks in particular to the Early Patches sample library, all multisamples from medieval and renaissance instruments, both percussive and melodic. great stuff.

It's crazy the amount of things you can do if you're willing to creatively experiment

me on guitar, buddy on bass and mpc for drums, lots of fun

This is clearly the most rofl thing I've had the pleasure of reading today!!!

I used an MPC 500 as the mixing/arranging/sequencing/midi-controlling and performance instrument for a project I developed called BUSK. I used samples I recorded of street performers (buskers) as the source sounds to create my own street performance.

In terms of the 500, I sold my 1000 because I needed something battery powered and while it took a bit of time to get used to it was definitely worth it for the project.

Check out the documentary of an improvised performance:

...and here's a piece of music I made on the 500 syncing the samples to their video footage via MIDI in real time.
