I don't know if you have kids or know what the show is, but it's a really HipHop oriented show for kids on Nick. My kids love it! Lot's of dope beats on there and artist features like ?uestlove/Roots, Biz Markie etc! You should see about submitting something!

btw thanks DJ Hellfire... i'll look into that... licensing is good money. i need some of that in my life.

I'd assume that it won't read the 5k synth patches, because from my understanding the ren and studio software doesn't have a inbuilt synth engine.. (correct me if i am wrong) ....

Without having the 5Ks synth engine, the MPC Ren won't read its patches. Drum Program formats of legacy MPCs should be loadable though.

Loading programs of legacy S samplers would be a nice touch. But with VST support, there are software samplers that can load Akai S formats.

so can the mpc5k therefore load patches from the ion/micron/miniak?

I would doubt that because the 5K synth patches are ".50v"
Seems very proprietary to me. Unless someone out there has written some sort of conversion software.

the ren doesn t have build in synth engine...
the synth from the 5k was okay but not fancy, the hands on aspect was the best part.
i doesn t sound like an alesis ion.
the 5k is more like a cut down version of the alesis fusion workstation..i m pretty sure its nearly the same hardware....

the 5k is still cool ..i had it since version 2.0 but sold it...
