Practically nobody here (MPC 5000/4000 forum has been quiet for quite sometime), was talking new Akai MPCs in these forums for the past year...with the exception of a small few of us. We talked about MPC 5000 improvements...and the hope that Akai would create a virtual MPC to rival Maschine.
Now we got quite a few folks here on some I need a new hardware MPC kick. What I say to those folks is to support the Akai MPC 5000. If you can't or won't support the MPC 5000, why would Akai invest resources into something many of you say is a failure?
The MPC Ren/Studio is the future. Its operating system is more powerful than any MPC before it. Hype? Its an MPC. It does what MPCs do. And once you get passed the idea that it no longer has a 15 year old CPU and RAM no modern computer actually uses....you will be able to create music without the limitations we previously had.
With the MPC Ren, you can add an EQ to every single pad! We have program editing with support for drag-n-drop sample(s) to pads. We can do DAW styled mixing with full automation; pad and track Mute recording. Full screen graphic waveform editing is possible. XoX styled step sequencing has been added....an MPC Forums favorite feature request since around 2004. 24 bit/96 kHz sampling/recording rates for premium sound quality. Export all your MPC tracks as audio stems to load into any DAW on the market. All these things combined in a tight package with a controller that rivals legacy MPCs in build and functionality. Some dismiss it as hype. But when has a new MPC (or 3rd party OS for an MPC) not been hype?
Every die-hard MPC user here has their own personal favorite. If you ask many of us to part with our MPCs and use something else...most will respond..."oh hell naw!" For some, the MPC Ren is "dat new MPC." Others may feel this way in time. And some others may never catch on. That is ok as this is the same with every new MPC release.
That's my two cents....and my own personal agenda to make Dan a Saint. You need 3 miracles right? Pad responsiveness; latency to rival hardware MPCs will be the first.

Another option is the MPC 1000...still being sold. Those are the go to new MPCs if you want to sacrifice the power and VST capability. If you want innovation, there are plenty of MPC 60, 3000, and 2000XLs on the second hand market.
tanto en cuanto el mpc5000, el mpc1000, el mpc2500, que yo sepa, su edicion en trim con el sistema operativo akai deja muchisimo que desear, por si no lo sabias puto jah.
jah, pero quien te crees que eres, so vacilón de mierda!!!

why should anyone support the mpc5k? akai dont.
they have committed to bring out a new os for the mpc5k....now why would that be, do you think JAH? Cos its the finished product?
The timing on it sucks, compared to the mpc4k or mpc3k,
In case you forgot, the mpc5k is NOT a priority for akai....generating hype for the mpc controllers is
according to blue haze, akai are dropping the harware standalone range altogether...even thought they havent come out and admitted so.....so what type of killer new os do you think akai will provide for the mpc5k...i wouldnt get my hopes up....
creating music without limitations? lol....probably some of the best music has been created due to limitations of machines, it forces one to be more creative
Why do you want Dan to replace saint Jude?

Why would anyone support the 5K? I would think those individuals wanting a hardware MPC would and should. It would tell Akai that people are still interested in the hardware platform. If you feel the MPC 5000 is a terrible workstation, what makes you think another hardware MPC would be even better? I have yet to hear an official word that the MPC 5000 or 1000 is dead. There have been several mentions that the MPC 5000 may receive an update. No time line has been given as the new line of MPC controller + MPC DAW are a priority for Akai.
Of course some will tie that same argument in support against the MPC DAWs. But its a completely different situation in my opinion. Akai doesn't have to deal with the limited power of a hardware's CPU, RAM, and OS. Resources are virtually unlimited when you can create an MPC application to run on Win and OSX.

your candidate for sainthood says the following re the mpc5000 os, in the 'Andy Mac open to discussions' thread:
>>>>>
1. 2. This is a question of resourses, as I mentioned before. I agree with you, as I said before, and I've been product manager for about 3 months. All i can officially say is it's my priority for us to be better about this. An update is on the plate, and is in process, and I'm sorry I cant promise a date, only that it's coming.
so he PROMISES that its coming
surely you beleive Saintly Dan?
and as you say, backing up my point....the mpc5k is not a priority for akai....why should anyone buy a flagship model which isnt even a priority, and which is in need of an os update?
I am sorry but I fail to see your point. I clearly stated that in these very forums, there was an indication that the MPC 5000 "may" get an update. I use the word "may" as not giving a timeline does no scream "definite" to me. And even Saints can't do everything. I would count an MPC 5000 OS update as a miracle for Dan's Sainthood.
I still stand by my statement. If you want a hardware MPC...support the MPC 5000. If the MPC 5000 fails or is a failure, I see no reason to continue making hardware MPCs.....especially iif the new MPC DAWs are a hit.
JAH wrote:I would love to see an MPC 5000 update. I would love to see a new hardware hybrid MPC.
But the reality is....the MPC Ren/Studio is a priority. As far as Akai's current customers....there are only a hand full of MPC 5000 users in this forum. And the forum members complaining the most about the 5000 don't own it.
Gertie, which MPC do you own?
