    The MPC X SE is more than just a drum machine. The possibility is unlimited. You can use it to control Ableton, you can hook up hardware synths and control them with the Mpc X se or vice verse. You can do so much more with this now with a computer.

    It’s a hard take to assume a sampler in 2023 is gonna sound or is supposed to sound like a limited bit rate sampler from a couple decades ago. I personally love the lo fi stuff and just like every other piece of vintage gear from guitars to synths… you hold on to those because the forward goal of reaching pristine sound quality is to have anything you feed into a sampler be exactly replicated and not colored by dated converters. We have learned over the years to use limitations stylistically and people are now becoming upset that they have to learn more about production processes to dirty up clean sounds because those limitations have been remedied. Most of us have done it this way already for years. So having an mpc that needs to be given some grit isn’t shocking. I get the reason why people are upset but do you complain or do you adapt? A lot of the people complaining are ratting themselves out that they all relied on a consumer product to solely be their sound. Cats should have been pushing the mpc through outboard stuff even back in the day instead of all following the leader as to learn as little as possible about the process but still get the pro results. Shortcuts
    Once mpc started getting side stepped for maschine, akai started going after the NI style software/hardware model back on the renaissance to stay competitive outside of just the hip hop crowd.
    A lot of hardware dawless producers use the new Mpcs for edm and center pieces for sending midi, cv and audio data for their performances. If it were instantly colored like the older mpc units then that would limit the control of the sound to far more artist then the hip hop cats that rely on the degradation of old converters for saturation

    • @TheRealNativeSun
      @TheRealNativeSun 11 місяців тому +4

      That’s was well said. As someone who has a S950 and MPC 60 and now the newer stuff I enjoy the older gear but your right there was a crutch. You can color the new gear as needed. You have options. Saving this comment as a reference. Kudos.

    • @rena.t
      @rena.t 6 місяців тому

      amazingly said my friend. i love the new mpcs personally and i feel your fully right about people being lazy abt it. expecting a dirty sound so they dont have to actually use fx and other things to grit it. its funny though cause all of the new mpcs actually have a vintage mode where it emulates the sound of old hardware(im pretty sure the ones they have are 3000,60,sp1200,and sp1200 ring mod).

    Andy Mac just recreated Simply Red's - Holding Back The Years ( 'I keep holding on').....I have the MPC Key 61. It's by far one of the BEST pieces of music technology I've ever owned.......I'm 60 in a couple of months. I'm in the process of recreating Depeche Mode (Vince Clarke's) 'I just can't get enough'. I've just got to record the vocals (all on the MPC Key 61) and I'll have produced what it took a whole studio to achieve in one standalone keyboard.

  • @marknhopgood

    Amazing demo and example track. Lovely. I'm interested to hear about how you make everything in the same key - is there a feature to help with this? Also in prepping the sounds for this, what's involved? I usually create my track in DAW and then move to SP404SX - however this may be an all in one solution for me going forward.

    Thanks for the video, I have the current MPCX now and everyone should keep in mind though it says standalone you have to have a measuring point what that means. For me the bar is five minutes song eight audio tracks and eight plug-ins. Currently, with the two gig version it is impossible. I work in a linear fashion and the best I can do is 8 audio tracks and one plug-in and I am at 90% or better of memory used. So maybe standalone should be rethought what that is supposed to mean.

    • @MrFullyCharged

      MPC architecture has too many weird roadblocks and rules for me. Why make a box with 16 pads that you can’t just quickly hit “group C” and make those 16 pads anything you want? Pad 2,3 synths, pad 4 sample, pads 9-16 drums… maschine just lets you RUN FREE. Of course I prefer Push, but… every time I try MPC I remember why I don’t use MPC. To each his own.

    This brings it in line with the Key 61, but they lowered the price of the Key 61 after realising it wasn't right priced in the market, and I think they lowered the price of the plugins or had a prolonged sale. I'd like Akai to do more to encourage early adopters, but with those caveats stated it's still a great product.

    Is this mainly intended for hiphop producers or would it shine in an electronic music studio (analog modular synths)-would this be a good sequencer for a Eurorack?

      It can do a great job as a sequencer. CV and MIDI. I use it for Jazz, R&B, Ambient, and Hip-hop.
