I saw people commenting on Facebook that he didn't address any shortcomings and therefore they must've paid him off. It's not like he has to be aware of every MPC model that came out after the 3000. He was probably blown away at how far ahead they've evolved his creation. The 3000 didn't load keygroups, didn't have plug ins or even effects for that matter. People need to see the forest from the trees
He kinda addressed in the beginning that he had beef with the old Japan-based Akai but was kool with American Akai and enjoyed the free quality product - which was probably sent as a peace offering. It went over people's heads, though
@@LitCrease I somehow missed that he said that. I watched the video from Linn's own UA-cam channel as well. Even without that, people should be grateful that he even took the time to say anything about the current MPCs. People can be so entitled sometimes that it's disgusting.
@@LitCrease My understanding was that they owed him back royalties since they became American (InMusic). I have no idea how that was resolved, but I feel like it had to be for this to come together.
Yup, didn't look like that was paid to me at all. Though he only ALLUDED to the beef he had with Akai, something everyone would have missed if they didn't know the history. As a fan of the mpc line myself, I would think that he would be gobsmacked at what it can do now, and at that price. Must have been a reality check next to his LinnStrument. And I would think he would be proud that his offspring is so ubiquitous now, despite the beef. Linn will always be a hero to me though. I just bought an AdrenaLinn end of last year.
You skipped out on the best part and that is him naughty smiling that he has no intention of sending it back. By now he probably has already completely turned the device inside out to see what the internals look like.
Great guy...I got to hang with him in the 80s and he even stopped by my studio when he was working on the MPC for Akai. I had a LinnSequencer back then. I also hung with Bob Moog at NAMM. The OGs! Those were the days!
Roger Linn actually designed the Ableton Push in a way which uses some of his MPC ideas and some of his Linnstrument ideas. He also designed the Maschine in a way and also the MC-707 and all the groove boxes that came around after his design hit. What an absolute genius of all time.
@@lartisan6274 Easy to think of now there are so many of these silicon buttoned machines. But this layout was unknown until the mind of Roger Linn. And yes, Ableton did steal his Linnstrument for the latest Push which basically has the Linnstrument inside.
We have our vindication.....time to move on from all this un-necessary Hate....want ya "classic sound"? Buy a converter and stfu🤣🤣... the MPC does what its suppose to do Make Beats....Excellent reaction vid AVE 💯🔥
WTMFB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something is definitely wrong with you if you waited for Roger Linn to give a favorable review on Modern MPC workstations for you to have "vindication." Also, the MPC doesnt make beats. The operator of an MPC (or any other musical equipment) is the motherf*&^^ who "makes beats."
@@dianevrules This plus I don't really have any issue with the things E-A-Ski was saying... He was talking about the flagship models of the MPC. The spite in either direction is really unnecessary.
Roger Linn has always beena. class act! I was fortunate enough to speak to him on the phone in the mid 90s when I purchased an MPC 60 MK2 upgrade and he walked me through the entire process and not once sounded bothered or anything like that. ROGER LINN is the MPC! Thanks for sharing this Ave!
Don’t stop you and Malo are amazing Bolo and other Samplekings I thank you all as I am just a bassist classically trained yet I be on the mp so much that my wrist weak. I love making music and your channel inspires . As the beat goes on
Roger Linn is the Father of the MPC, he is the foundation. Much respect to you my brother and thank you for your genius ideas and contributions to music !!
When the father of all drum machines, checks out their product on UA-cam, the people at Akai must've been really looking for validation while biting their fingernails
Honestly I've always felt the "DAW-in-a-box" allegations have been way overstated. I was able to jump right into the same workflow on the Live 2 that I used a decade prior on the MPC 1000, and while I think that improvements could be made to lessen the dependence on the touchscreen and some sequence arrangement issues that need to be hammered out, it still feels like an MPC to me, just with built-in plugins and modern QOL features like wifi and USB.
Don’t ever stop bro, I really appreciate your prospective . You could talk about a sandwich and I’d tune in, but the fact that you’re talking about a subject I’m interested in is even more gratifying.
Glad he approves! Also, Ave, you gotta do a video review of Air’s new soft clipper. It would be cool to see a direct comparison to the FL clipper and Orange Clipper. No one has a video like that yet.
Roger that dog! I still have my MPC 60ii. I'm bout to gone put it in the shop so I can reload some of them disk from the 90s. Notice he said "they did a good job with MY design" 😂
Brother keep doing what you are doing. You don’t know how much you inspired me to start making beats again. After a 10 year break. Much love. Oh and where can I get those lil mini mpc things you have in all the models?
Keep your head up and stay humble and blessed my brother. Always do like us original creators is make music that moves your soul. I'm always in the bg watching your videos and in your streams whenever you do stream. SALUTE King. Stay Blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
The current MPC doesn’t have to be better sounding than the much talked about vintage units because at the end of the day, the modern ones are the ones I own. I’m done with the converter debate.
The New Akai Force may incorporate the Linnstrument for the Pad layout. I can see this happening, as it appears that Roger Linn and Akai may be hooking up again 👍
That finger twirl putting in that bassline!! 🔥🔥🔥 🤣🤣🤣🤣....Yeah, I stayed away from the forums...This man...Put his MPC 60 x The Advancement of Technology and feels like they kept what the intent of the original design was, and mordernized it...doing it justification. This Live 2 is amazing. Is it better than the older model I have, that depends on the day and what I am trying to do...LOL...My brother LOVES his old MPC, but can't stop using his LIVE 2, and he is ol' skool for real....LOL...To each his own....if you have one, ENJOY IT!!
Hey ave I’m interested in uploading beats to UA-cam like the [Free] instrumental type I just wanted to ask your opinion (equipment and such) on how if you know the best way or a good way to do that?
Couple things… He’s not gonna diss his own grand baby 😂. He’s not even 70! Still fresh. Still loves the game. Here’s the big one! He’s back in relationship with AKAI PRO USA! Will they commission him to contribute to the next Gen of MPCs? Imagine that! Akai “Hey Roger we need you to work on converters and a few other things!” Roger “No problem I got some ideas.” Then he comes up with the dopest sht. Game over! MPC would be King again! Everybody coming back. I know I am!
If humble was a person it’s Roger Linn
SREE Khrisna bless him!!!
Facts!
@KirkState knows! Peace Brotha
The father of the MPC has spoken.
He KILLED that bassline.
The man who helped shape "HIP-HOP" unintentionally Rodger Linn ! Great video🔥🔥
Akai Needs to slide him some retroactive bread ✊✊

One of the biggest Legends, alongside Tom Oberheim, Robert Moog and Dave Smith.
Don't forget Dave Rossum !

akai sitting on a gold mine making a modern roger linn edition mpc by collaborating with him again. fr time is precious akai pls
Exactly, reproducing an old MPC, simpler, but with a few modern features added back.
A flagship model with rupert neve trafo, best converters etc.
Beat makers have a certain bounce when they’re making music. I love to see it. I’m totally convinced that I need to cop a LIve II. 😂😂
Roger Linn is a legend 😎 he’s a chill laid back guy I will always show that man the up most respect 🫡
I saw it straight when it came up and instantly loved it - felt genuine
That Linn drum machine ran the early 80's!!!
Bruh I smell a new akai Roger Linn colab coming ...what I say ... 40 year anniversary edition 2026????
The lord of the MPC has spoken! But I like the Linnstrument plug 😉😉😆
slick rick type beat 😂😂
It was 🔥🔥🔥 watching him freestyle a beat
It’s always dope gettin input from the OG’z & elders in the game 💪🏾
Roger Linn has always beena. class act! I was fortunate enough to speak to him on the phone in the mid 90s when I purchased an MPC 60 MK2 upgrade and he walked me through the entire process and not once sounded bothered or anything like that. ROGER LINN is the MPC! Thanks for sharing this Ave!
Epic video. You missed the end of his video when he said he’s keeping the live 2 😂
love this vid!! Roger seems to be a very down to earth person
Don’t stop you and Malo are amazing Bolo and other Samplekings I thank you all as I am just a bassist classically trained yet I be on the mp so much that my wrist weak. I love making music and your channel inspires . As the beat goes on
Pay that man, let him have a hand at the mpc live 3 and call it the mpc live 3000 and it will be the best thing ever and sale the most units ever
MPC X Linn edition in 3, 2, 1…..
Don't stop Ave, you're the best on here. Period
His knowledge is refreshing. Keeping it simple & plain, but in still keeping my maschine.
Hes da goat 🐐
Respect to living Double OGs these new gen Zs need to show respect!!!!
Roger Linn is the Father of the MPC, he is the foundation. Much respect to you my brother and thank you for your genius ideas and contributions to music !!
I hope Akai gave him a fat check for this review for everything they put him through.
I love that this soft spoken grandpa is one of the most importan OGs in all of hip hop.
Really like your videos, man.
Btw Sir Duke is literally my first radio memory. 👍
I love the flicks of the wrists. Roger Linn "King of the Beats". I can hear MF DOOM in heaven rhyming . My man Ave , keep your content. Love it!
wait till he tries Koala
Glazing
Truth!
😂
Love your channel my guy. Don't stop until you must
Appreciate that
Much Love and God bless you Sir! I had the original 2k and 4k, before I moved on to Maschine and FL.
When the father of all drum machines, checks out their product on UA-cam, the people at Akai must've been really looking for validation while biting their fingernails

Same with me from the MPC 5000
Don’t ever stop bro, I really appreciate your prospective . You could talk about a sandwich and I’d tune in, but the fact that you’re talking about a subject I’m interested in is even more gratifying.
Wow ... sounds like a movie soundtrack
Roger Linn born in 1955, how many grandpas ya'll know making beats with chelos on the mpc! Anything he do worth respect!
Roger Linn a hip hop legend 🐐
Dope video Ave 🤞🏽
Ya man...preach. Folks need to know the history to see the future. And it sounds like Mr. History (Roger Lynn) has signed off on the future.
Glad he approves!
Also, Ave, you gotta do a video review of Air’s new soft clipper. It would be cool to see a direct comparison to the FL clipper and Orange Clipper. No one has a video like that yet.
He's too humble I would have tax akai big-time.
Hopefully we get another RL mpc 3000 with his input in the future
The best thing that I learned about Roger in this video is HE’S A 49ers FAN DID YOU SEE THEM 49ers PILLOWS IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!
This was a dope video. Nice to see the creator using his creation.
Appreciate it!
Linn sounds a lot like Jeff Goldblum.
Great Video, The Legendary Roger Linn
This guy is a gem !
Roger that dog! I still have my MPC 60ii. I'm bout to gone put it in the shop so I can reload some of them disk from the 90s. Notice he said "they did a good job with MY design" 😂
Because it’s based on the original design. Don’t start glazing 😂
@@AveMcree 😂 Nah I just like he made that point
Akai should’ve gave Roger a MPC that has a limited edition color.
I smell a Roger Linn Signature addition coming in the near future. Please! 😅
Great video Ave, this is so important to know. It helps keep the truth about the MPCs true! Thanks for sharing.
It was interesting to see the creator create on the MPC and love the vibe of his track
that was awesome, thanks for sharing :D
I love the new MPCs, Especially the MPC X SE. I like the sound of them, the ergonomics, specs and ability to record anything.
Brother keep doing what you are doing. You don’t know how much you inspired me to start making beats again. After a 10 year break. Much love. Oh and where can I get those lil mini mpc things you have in all the models?
You nailed it on not being able to download expansion via mpc WiFi
Mr Linn going hardcore dancehall on us ❤
Roger Linn, the original bad bwoy
@@thelefthandofcreation1617 No doubt
It was cool to see him use the Linnstrument with it. He is an amazing inventor.
How your man lay down a Soul II Soul drum break and then flip it into a whole ass Happy Mondays song?
Roger Linn says "Don't RTFM!"
Keep your head up and stay humble and blessed my brother. Always do like us original creators is make music that moves your soul. I'm always in the bg watching your videos and in your streams whenever you do stream. SALUTE King. Stay Blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
Stay motivated to keep giving us content. Because you are appreciated. I've learned alot from you .
Man, this was great! He is really a beat maker Lol
The current MPC doesn’t have to be better sounding than the much talked about vintage units because at the end of the day, the modern ones are the ones I own.
I’m done with the converter debate.
yo seeing Roger is awesome, don't you think about leaving me bro, i learn soooo much from you seriously
The New Akai Force may incorporate the Linnstrument for the Pad layout. I can see this happening, as it appears that Roger Linn and Akai may be hooking up again 👍
Were making it out of oompa land with this one
Mr. Linn said "Typewriter keyboard" … I have not heard this since middle school. I know many of you have never. Very good vides!!!🤑🤑🤑
I can hear that all day on Nickelodeon
Awesome!
Roger production 🔥🔥🔥
I feel like he recently copped a cheque.
Cooking Roger🔥
Roger Linn Type Beats 🔥🔥🔥
I saw the video I going to say he is still got it and he is a very humble man

I saw this last week.
Roger kills it.
Kinda fitting that the father of the MPC put that video out on Father's Day...
thank you Roger Linn for everything (3.12 mpc update, ) and Bruce Forat for puttin SD cards in the MPC 3000
I love the Roger Linn love
This man invented note repeat.
Timing correct!
Pads!
Amazing
What happened to the BoomChick and Linndrum2 ?????
If I was blind that touchscreen might make it difficult 😅
I am sold.
Couple things…
He’s not gonna diss his own grand baby 😂.
He’s not even 70! Still fresh. Still loves the game.
Here’s the big one!
He’s back in relationship with AKAI PRO USA!
Will they commission him to contribute to the next Gen of MPCs?
Imagine that!
Akai “Hey Roger we need you to work on converters and a few other things!”
Roger “No problem I got some ideas.”
Then he comes up with the dopest sht.
Game over! MPC would be King again!
Everybody coming back.
I know I am!
Go roger
Great
Waiting on a new MPC XXX (Linnited Edition) 🤣🤣🤣
My first MP was the MPC mk2 Ive had every one since.
That was great
This is the dopest shit EVER!!!!
