on the mpc500...give it to stevy wonder lol, you basicaly dont even need the screen to get a bit of beat going on. Its a very proper build indeed, aside from the ram-holder, those arms tend to break pretty easy but its not a big deal (i had put a foam underneith the battery chassis to keep it in place). I sold it since i have other mpc but its all you should expect from an mpc plus a bit more.

No wait a minute what about good companies like Ableton? They have said multiple times that they get that hip-hop producers and beat makers are one of the primary markets for Live and they try and improve each program version for producers. They also really go out of there way to help there customers. Why not support a company like that?

I wouldn't be anything if it were not for my MPC, its sucks to know its not backed up with a good company like it used to.

one of my friends was trying to get a mpc 3000 fixed and he told me that akai doesnt carry replacement parts for it any longer.

I have heard great stories about Ableton, and I even hit them up a few years ago for a problem I had with my MIDI controller functionality with the interface. They walked me through step by step, and not once did the dude sound like he was getting frustrated or pissed off when I was asking him questions that a beginner would normally ask. And plus, Jazzy Jeff uses it, so I have to love it.

I've never owned an MPC, but I have used them and I own a MPD24(It's for sale) and honestly I wouldn't buy another Akai Product. The MPD really turned me off of Akai products.

thats the most asanine statement i ever heard, the first akai product youve ever tried is a midi controller and it turned you off to buying anything from a company that got famouse off making sequencers, not midi controllers
