Thank you and Merry Xmas MPC Tutor! :-D


:mrgreen: It's almost definitely going to be called 'Beat Making on JJOSXL: Chopping Techniques' - and I am desperately trying to get it out there before Xmas. So many things have been getting in my way of finishing this in the past 3 months, it's been very frustrating, so massive apologies for it taking so long.

Does this mean no book for the Ren?

MPC-Tutor wrote:Yes, I think the days of writing huge epic books are gone now - the 5000 book taught me that lesson, it's better to get something out there rather than having a half finished book sitting hidden on my computer. I also prefer writing the micro books as it's more focused, and as you say, they can be combined into a single book at a later date.

Learning the Akai OS first isn't a bad thing as it gives you good grounding in the basic principles of using an MPC, but remember, you can still install 2XL in your MPC and keep reverting back to the Akai OS if the 2XL is too much for you. The JJ password is remembered even if you re-flash back to Akai OS.

Or just try the trial of 2XL (no saving).

It also depends on what you want out of the MPC - you might find the Akai OS does everything you need!
