With one foot in the future and one in the past, this sweet, standalone sampling powerhouse combines everything you miss about traditional beat production with flexibility that goes beyond the most cutting-edge modern music workstation. The fact is, each classic MPC is the "best" one in the eyes of one producer or another, but one thing's for sure, Akai's MPC X is the modern MPC all the diehards have been waiting for. There's the sheer warmth that makes the original '60 a classic collector's piece that's still pumping out the grooves today, but there's also the amazing flexibility of the '2000/XL and the insane all-in-one features of the '5000. There's no way to even know which one was the most popular. Future updates to the platform are expected in the coming months.Want to start a fight? Just ask a room full of old-school beat makers what the all-time best MPC is. Upgrades for older models start from $100. The 2.0 upgrade is available now and free for MPC Live and MPC Touch users. MPC 2.0 supports the following controller models: MPC X, MPC Live, MPC Touch, MPC Studio Black, MPC Renaissance, MPC Studio, MPC Element, and the MPK2 keyboard controllers. It will be interesting to see how the competition between the world’s most popular beat-making platforms develops from this point on.
It’s still a workable strategy for many users, but we’re sure NI will have something to retaliate against MPC 2.0’s extensive DAW functionality. The latter is something NI Machine users have been clamouring for a long while, though NI’s vision seems to be slowly incorporating DAW features into its primarily beat-oriented software. It’s one of the biggest updates to the MPC software ever, and it’s bound to turn some heads in the beat production community with its deep, almost fully complete DAW functionality. Version 2.0 sees a user interface facelift (now matching the visuals of the latest MPC controllers), along with a big list of new features that include audio track recording, time-stretching and pitch shifting in real-time, audio and MIDI drag-and-drop support, Ableton Link & Bluetooth 4.0 MIDI support, signal routing (submixing, FX returns, multi-output support), a new mixer layout, 64-bit audio engine, and other technicalities.
