Akai MPC - Pros & Cons

more details that are genuinely great and heaps of fun to use
very nimble for both composition and performance
MPC One is an incredibly capable workstation for the money
plays and sounds really good
pleasing
compact design
a tidy layout and solid workmanship

built-in monitors are quite good
good sound quality
Polyend Tracker is also a great alternative
simple to use
inexpensive
adaptable has lots of pretty advanced features
MPC platform appears to be very well maintained
The additional buttons are helpful to improve workflow
It can fit into a bag easily
Akai MPC One is a fantastic value for the price
the most petite and most straightforward of the current MPC range
average volume

clean user interface
Navigation is pretty intuitive

sleek
smooth

The center stage is vibrant with a user-friendly interface
sleek
smooth
and sturdy
ideal for live performances as well as in-studio music production
powerful and easy to use on the MPC
Connecting my small modular setup works easily as well
slim appearance
it is sturdy
Connections are good on the Akai Professional MPC Studio
The velocity and pressure-sensitive RGB pads are expressive and easy to use
speakers are convenient and simply irresistible
sturdy appearance and solid build
It looks beautiful and is functional in actual use
on the market and give you incredible sensitivity and accurate expression
solid sync options
Installation is pretty straightforward
The link is very reliable

it takes a different approach
there's no internal battery power
the factory library has no sampled instrument patches (
MIDI and Audio tracks at the same time in Track Mute mode
I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master
never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks
not too heavy
Not enough significant new features when compared to the MPC Live
the new on does take up a bit more CPU
much less portable than the previous version
built-in monitors
the internal storage could have been expanded on
the original was only barely portable
16 velocity-sensitive sample/trigger pads
the speakers work independently from the headphones
MPC Live II is slightly less portable than before
it s just not quite as intuitive as other platforms
No need to add midi to the CV device on top
The speakers are not an apparatus
No setup is needed or an external power supply is required
come with a battery it is not a mobile performance system
each hardware device had some shortcomings
The MPC Live has only 2GB of RAM anyway
you may feel a bit lost
are pad bank buttons on the left side
lack of a battery would not be a big deal
only a limited set of inputs and outputs
It is not as complicated as it sounds
It also does not have a SATA connection
no WiFi and no Ableton Link
cost is not indicative of quality
The MPC One also does not support direct USB file transfer to a computer
WiFi and Bluetooth are missing from the MPC One
no need to be hooked up to a laptop for all your work and recording
the drums were not resampled into the Studio
only the highlighted regions were applied to pads
too thin to have midi connections
the former does not have a rechargeable battery
this post was not useful for you
it does not have a rechargeable battery
lack of a headphones level knob a huge oversight
lack of sufficient input options and the missing headphone level control
lack of a separate headphone knob is a big one
SD cards are a cheap commodity
somewhat cumbersome and separate handling of MIDI
the speakers make it slightly heavy for something marketed as a portable unit
Only a few instruments have had a transformative impact on music
as lightweight as you might have liked
There is no built-in interface
they are slippery and hard to hold
