NEW BEATKANGZ

It will be out this summer. When you play it you will see why we put the pitch and mod on diff sides. So on hand can work ptich and one can work filter at the same time. It makes a crazy wild sound and can be automated.

aaayy you smoking that good shhtt.

ooooohh weeeee

this thing is sounding better and better very interested to see how this develops, props

cool we plan to make it hot

we want to use it too.....

HAHA good shit

Hey, BK

Start up a forum on your site so we can get a feature suggestion/request thread going.
I not gonna start one here as it would be a bit inappropriate as this is still the mpc-forums.
A young players got ideas to spare.

good we will start one soon

Haha that's what it is. I really don't care about how it's "marketed". the fact that they actually pop up and respond shows they listening more than Akai...and like I said it's funny watching cats get shut down. All that shit that got popped and when Beat Kangs came thru them same cats had nothing to say. As much shit as some of y'all talk about your MPC issues I bet if Akai popped up you'd see the groupies come out

Anyways I hope this lil machine could do some work. I'd cop it. Props to y'all for actually doing something. Whether some of these haters admit it or not it's way more then they're doing with their lives. The fact that that there's new competition out is dope. Akai SHOULD be worried. All manufacturers should worry. This is proof that you don't have to just deal with what the corps put on the shelf. Show them that there's options and if you want dudes to dump hundreds if not thousands of dollars at a time they gonna have to listen to the user.

ok, maybe 3,000 ppqn is a dream, but can y'all go 960 or 1056?

The sampling will work just like any sampler, Threshold settings, Normalize ,gain Resample through FX, start and end point.

There will be Cut off and Res and ADSR, 2 fx sends, pitch, Volume ,pan for each pad. *8 pad banks per kit or patch*

Velocity sensitive pads, 16 layers per pad

Will read loop points in Wav and AIff files (which means if you have a synth or string sample you can make it play forever as long as you hold the KEY)

Make Beats

KANGZ

This is what I wanted to hear. Good luck.

Can't wait to get my hands on one to try it. I really like the size of it.

How will the USB work when connecting it to your DAW?

You should make a battery style program so that you can automatically open your BeatThang pgm's as a multichannel VSTi style plug.

Yes we will have an app.... and it will do the all same things as the machine (so it can be stand alone ).... Plus the machine can control it too.... One more surprise product too but we will announce that in about a month or so.

I hear you lvngdead about the PPQ we just raised it from 96 to 125 and it's plotting everything i play exactly how i play it but........ we understand this is important to you and others so we are looking into a sub ms timer that may give us more ppq like 1000 or so... This is all software so even if we ship with 96 or 125 there is no reason 1000 couldnt be a 1.1 update.

We got all kinds of crazy plans for this thang...... We like our operating system but we may even reach out to JJ and see whats up. We are open to building and evolving our machine. Options are good. We are down with the hackers. We want them to go crazy with our machine and see what happens.

If you support us there is no limit to what we can build.....This first Thang will pave the way for many other Thangz which will be inspired by all your input.

For everyone who is skeptical about the look..... You gotta understand the prototype process. The final will be different and all metal. It's a process people.

Plus come on who else is gonna give you nipples to tweak lol......

We have way more features than an MPC 1000. More ram standard than an mpc 5000 fully maxed out....... More sounds than any hardware drum machine in history that were recorded and mastered in the best studio's in the world. Color LCD screen, More FX, 2, 16 gig SD card slots instead of 1, 2 gig Compact flash, 2 USB ports instead of one and umm we dont have to be hooked to a power chord yet our machine is tha toy????.........riggghhhhttt ooook lol. Yeah and just the proto is plastic the real one will be all metal.....but hey if you need a big boat anchor and 8 midi outs to make hits then do you.
If yall hate it so much why you keep talk'n about it. I see the same folks in here talk'n trash. Shouldn't you be making beats if you are so into music? Music is the point right?

It's really funny to see 22 pages of chatter on here. Seems like we got yall shook up a bit. Word! Keep talking positive or keep hate'n just keep talking. We love it..... We been through hell and back to make a beat machine from scratch..... I'm only 27 and figured out how to do this $**t for real. I even beat Roger to having a working proto and he's "GOD" to you..... Well if hes god then meet the Damn Devil. I make THANGZ and the industry is about to feel my wrath. It's not every day a 27 year old biz man can build a company from scratch thats got the whole MI world scrambling.

What you wanna say now huh? huh? WHAT? uhhh midi uhhh tyco uhhh zoom uuuhhh toy uhhh Bring it on. The beats jumping off my proto already hotter than anything ive heard come from a 5000 and we aint even done yet. We've only showed 5% of what this thang is gonna do....
Make a beat machine from scratch blow it up at NAMM then run your mouth. You bite we bite back homie THIS AINT AKAI!

Bold Cocky and unstopable just like HIP HOP

Sucka MC's get faded

Peace to all that know where we are coming from and walk with us. War to all who stand in our way!

A.J.A

congratulations.
you've proved that a 27 year old mans ego double the size of a hilton sister.
please save your self praise for someone who wants to hear trash talk.

on the forums we talk, discuss, and educate eachother on equipment and music, among other things.
just because we enjoy learning about our equipment from other users through use of the internet,
doesn't mean we're not actively making music.

i won't get into what i think hip hop is and isn't,
but if it's really about being cocky and dismissive of outside ideas and views,
then you can keep it.

instead of being appreciative of the attention and time we've given your product before its release,
you guys are being pretty damn immature and condescending about the whole thing.
this is just conversation about gear.
its not our fault you made something thats so easy to make fun of.

grillz and paintz!?
come'on, don't act surprised that people poked fun.

grow up, its all conversation,
good luck

Yo Aerodynamic i just went to your myspace...... yep you need less time typing and more time beat making. You prove my point lil homie. Sounds like you need a thang for sure. I've earned my ego trust me and I have the battle scars to prove it. Not trying to be funny just being real wit you.

Real talk

*high five*

You cats should release a making-of documentary. I guarantee that will be a classic.

Are you gonna do a marketing blitz a few weeks before the release?
