  • Good Buy
Style: New Model
The device came in on time but in the pack was some of the Q-link cover detached (see image). My guess is that happened during shipment, maybe handling, but I’ll advise a harder glue be used to hold it from factory (i had to attach it back). My Con: Also, when i wanted to insert the hard drive i noticed its a direct access to the motherboard, compared to MPC live2 which ensures the motherboard is well protected. If you drop a screw or misdirect a cable you might yank something off. My Pro: I love all the extra plug-in bundled. It makes buying it over the regular MPC-X worth it. Somehow the drum pads respond better compared to the live2, my opinion though. I’m a tactile fan, the fact that i got most of the second functions and menu functions already laid out on the buttons is a plus for me. Overall, Good device, and the wrist-rest makes for good comfort. Plus the retro look is beautiful as well. ... show more

Be honest not needed to get this model. It is superior to all. Mpc one and live 2 are same with software and basic functions. The work flow is much better on X.

  • Good bye beat tweaker!!!!!
Style: Old Model
I’ve been a long MPC enthusiast!! I had the mpc 2000xl which launched my production career. I then gave it up to go into being a “laptop producer”. Well I can honestly say I suffered from “beat tweaking” or becoming a “beat zombie”. This is when you spend countless unnecessary hours making a beat and you look like a zombie staring at the laptop moving all these virtual knobs and sliders to get this perfect, or this sounding like that, or that moving like this. Well the MPC X is the solution to the aforementioned diagnosis! The MPC X gets you back to making the beat and then moving on to the next!! I have literally disconnected from the computer when doing music and the beats are faster and song sequencing is faster and more concise and simplified. Literally, turn it on, pick a project, then start making music. It just eliminates the “tweaker/zombie” mentality and gets you into what matters most, the beat. Pros-Touch screen allows for fluid interaction between software/hardware, Standalone-no need to tether to computer, upgradabilty, internal effects are easy to use, inputs outputs, and there’s more just don’t feel like typing this long Cons-YOU WILL NEED A INTERNAL SATA HARDDRIVE- 525g to be exact unless your sound library is 30years old then you’ll need 1tb, learning curve is steep to beginners (see pics MPC x does provide start up projects) but to MPC enthusiasts it will take you less than a day to learn Once you develop your work flow it will be come a cinch to construct beats and songs. Great job Akai!! Ask me questions if you need convincing, if not just get it and dive in! ‘Mamba-Out’;) ... show more
