As a former MPC 3000 user (still got mine) , I Totally Agree the MPC Ren has the best form factor and comes closest to the feel of the classic analog MPC. Akai should definitely support MPC Renaissance beat makers in 2023 & beyond...new subscriber 👍
I hooked my Renaissance up to my laptop that I use my Mpc live that runs the 2.11.6. Played around with it to see if it runs at yes it can use it. Was on the fence about buying the x because of the touchscreen and I like the feel of the Ren because it reminds me of using my 2000 at a big studio . So don’t get rid of the Renaissance.
Bro I’m in the same boat I have had a lot of mpcs. But my mpc 2000xl and Renaissance I had the longest: the ren was unable at some points. But it’s dope even with no in’s or outs on the unit. Mine don’t work.
@@hypebeastdad gotchu me to had da 2000 b4 XL u got history. yea renaissance had its lil issues, but had the those older mpc flavor. Its how u rock wit these Machines. only reason I copped ren n 2012 cuz my zip broke. I understand da new machines mpc keyboard otha shit etc
Bro it’s a classic machine. I try to champion it so Akai won’t let it become a door stop. It’s a crazy machine feel like a smooth 2500 that’s connected to the computer
Definitely. I agree with u. I just cooked up a couple new bangahs within the last two days & I hv newer stuff but I swear, don’t none compare to the quality sound I get right out of the REN with a lil tuning & mixin. I’m still usin the older software but, I’ll probably upgrade to the new one - I been avoiding that for a few years now. But yea, I hope AKAI will listen to those of Us who are still usin the REN like it came out yesterday 👍🏾
What is the latest OS and latest MPC software that will work with the ren? Mine has been sitting in the corner for years but it’s a better form factor than any MpC as far as I’m concerned. I Will be making a computer just for this.
it needs a driver for the audio on a mac but can be fully used on a pc i put away the 5k for it cause of the workflow but a disable sound card sucks balls
Bro I’m right there with u, still got my ren, it’s my studio piece, customized it too with fat pads and all. I also have a one for traveling and such that’s a nice piece too. I have a question for u what OS r u using? I have a dedicated Mac mini running Mojave cause I hear the Ren won’t work past that.
If you plug the Ren into a PC with windows 10 and a USB 2.0 port it still works perfectly also as an audio interface in 2023 with the latest MPC software. You need a USB 2.0 port, it doesn’t work with USB 3.0 nor with USB C...
Still tryin to get my hands on one for the MPC Ren standalone project. If you find any busted units, feel free to hit me up. I plan on doing a video about the Standalone project and the build of it.
I also have a renaissance next to a studio black. unfortunately the outputs don't work on my renaissance. I can't sample directly with a turntable. I really wanted to ask you what can I do? Unfortunately I have updated to the latest version. does it have to do with this ,Bro?

I totally agree
There needs to be a Ren II just to keep the vintage line current
I must agree. People don't sleep on the MPC Renaissance.
Have you ever had the screen on the MPC Ren just flash when you turn it on?

I use it the most rn. I have other ones but that ones hella comfortable rn.
This was my first mpc I ever bought, I got rid of it to get the push 2, I now have 2 mpcs and still got my push
Still on my mpc ren. Its not the machine its the producer. I do want a one tho just because its convenient to carry
I got the Ren and I also have a one for the same reason u said and love them both and I also have a one for sale

It works on Catalina but you can’t use the ins and outs
Ight thnx, just the regular ones or the midi ones too?
I still have the original software for mine. I never updated to the 2.0 software. I was afraid of that exact problem, do the update now it glitches.
I wish I still had it on a old computer
I found a Brandnew For 350 still New is it worth it in 2024
Does anybody know how to run an MPC Ren on a Mac with M1 Chip?

Nice not working on Mac for a while.
bro, where could I listen to the last beat you played?
salute
BEAT Hard! Save the REN
I use mine everyday

I thought you were using the renaissance Daw.
I also have a renaissance next to a studio black. unfortunately the outputs don't work on my renaissance. I can't sample directly with a turntable. I really wanted to ask you what can I do?
Unfortunately I have updated to the latest version.
does it have to do with this ,Bro?
I think interface side doesn’t work. Immune does the same.
Wake up!!
That beat was horrible 😂
Thanks for the advice. I’ll work to make some fire beats
