    MPC5000 update during NAMM?

    would you believe it? someone of Akai took his time to answer! he is on the mpc forum on his own time, and some of us are taking advantage of this opportunity to ask him questions and suggesting some thing for the Ren. about the (in)famous update: "Hi, sure, I can answer this question for you...

    MPC5000 update during NAMM?

    apparently Akai hired a bunch of new programmers expressly for the MPC line. they said they want to give continual support to the software (I guess they were talking about the Reinessance, but it seems that they have been working on the MPC5000 as well as I've already said). I'm the first who...

    word on the mpc forums is that Akai wrote on twitter about some kind of update for the MPC5000 that will be uncovered during NAMM

    Leaked photos of the MPC that will be announced tonight. NEW!

    Then I guess Fade should change that statement in his article... by the way he wrote it, only the Studio version is a controller that needs a comp...

    Leaked photos of the MPC that will be announced tonight. NEW!

    "The main difference would be that the Renaissance can also function as a standalone unit, whereas the MPC Studio is strictly a controller." are we sure the MPCr can work standalone? by the pics showing its display I'd say yes, but I don't want to dream too much... and in the specs they never...

    Leaked photos of the MPC that will be announced tonight. NEW!

    looks sleek! I hate those round things on the left though, I prefer the old regular rotary encoders... let's hope they don't fuck up the software. actually the latest controllers by Akai (APC 40 for ex.) had their firmwares programmed by other software houses (that means Akai could not care...

    Araab using MPC Renaissance

    as I've seen other say, it was actually a sloppy performance compared to what he usually does. it might be because he didn't have the chance to choose the samples or something else. I really hope it isn't because this MPC lags compared to the old ones.

    Jj os?

    I've bought the OS 2 XL version of the JJOS for my MPC1000 and I would never go back... the main thing I love about it, it's the upgraded sample editor. if you go to the link the other users already told you, you can have a look at the online manual (it is with pictures of the screens) so you...

    Sampleflip May 1 2010

    2good - wow! that track is sick! I really have nothing to criticize there... ayr0n - I see where you were aiming: it sounds like you were trying to follow the bassline with your drums, but you lost the track during composition and then got bored with it. I'm sure that if you get more work in...

    Who here works for Native Instruments?

    ouch, I didn't even think about a scenario like that... EDIT: oh well... I guess I don't see the problem then

    What is it about hip-hop that you connect with?

    when I wrote my answer I was asking myself if I was still connected to HipHop the way I used to be, but I actually already know the answer... the main problem to me is that it's not "family" anymore. if you read what I wrote, for me it was like being part of it because I felt it was the closest...

    What is it about hip-hop that you connect with?

    the beat, the flow, the way of life. I started with graffiti art 17 years ago, but the music quickly became the most important part of my hiphop experience. I guess the main thing must have been all that 70's new york feeling that there was into it. When I was a kid in the early 90's, the...

    Who here works for Native Instruments?

    I don't really see what your problem is with the activation... a pain in the butt? how is it so? It's one of the most idiot-proof and fast activation processes I've seen. it even let you install the software on multiple computers. anyway if you want to know WHY, the reasons are not only limited...

    Rantings of the Over 30 Crowd...

    lol I know what you mean, I was just joking about Diff'rent Strokes, that show was just overwhelmed by crazy stuff. I actually agree with you... if you take a picture here in Italy on the beach you've got to be sure there aren't some random kids in it, because their mother could get you in...

    Rantings of the Over 30 Crowd...

    Arnold from "Diff'rent Strokes" wouldn't agree with you! All kind of shit was going down in that series... pedos, kids dealing drugs in school, ... edit: sorry for the double post!

    Rantings of the Over 30 Crowd...

    I'm glad I didn't have all the things there are today when I was a kid. I'd even say that there was some more magic in the air. Now everything you need to know, just type it on google and bam! for ex. you like some kind of music? You have access to all of it via the Internet and it can even...
