An MPC, or Midi Production Center, was THE tool for hip hop artists in the studio in the 1980s. It fell out of fashion for a while, but now, it's back. The MPC has moved from the studio to the stage and all kinds of performers, from rockers to rappers to classicly trained musicians, are utilizing its beat making abilities. One MC will take us through the MPC transformation, as we see, hear and talk to different kind of musicians, and even non-musicians, who are making this technology the oldest newest trend in music making.
"if you have that musical mind, your gonna get it accomplished" that pretty much sums up the game right there
"I love fat beats" 😂😂
I have three Hardware Synths, Cubase and many VST's, 1 Bassguitar, 6 Guitars, Talkbox, Percussion (Congas, Bongos, etc.), 12-Bit Sampler (S900) but my favorite Instruments is still MPC 2000 + Vinyl.
Damu is nice on the SP 1200 also✊🏽
nice to see a wide range of artists, hip hop, trip hop, calssical users, so cool
I love my mpc500 definitely a powerful little machine it doesn't have all the extra bells and whistles of it's older brothers but don't count it out the game it has made me a better artist not just a best maker ! I use my ears to chop samples I would rather manually chop then look at a computer screen ever again much love to all the hip-hop lovers from around the world!
I love it to lot of control, a mess up can create a whole style.
Very cool man, very cool....
Love this video
short and sweet
Akai needs to make a new standalone Mpc. I can't be the only one who thinks the Midi controllers akai is putting out are wack. maybe if there was like an mpc 2000xl re-make that had software connection but could be disconnected from the computer and work standalone It could add a lot of new flavor to the hiphop community these days. Come on AKAI listen to your customers.
Haha yeah it shouldn't just be one or the other
It's the demand of the market. More people are into computer based production these days and controllers are much cheaper to make. I don't think they can really out do the MPC. I love em just the way they are.
They Have One Now It the mpcx
The first time I saw a 2000XL (Hustle and Flow WTT scene) it shocked me the way that they were using it. I only got into sampling quite recently and didn't even know there was such a thing as a device that worked like that.
what would be the point?why would you need a software connection if you have a 60 ,3000 or 2000 etc?what is there to remake?you can already use mpcs as a midi controller on your computer.and when you dont wanna use the computer you use it as a stand alone...what exactly are you asking for here?
Yes I caught that too. If you read the description I wrote the correct name on there.
Check on ebay, there are tons for around $400. The last 2 I personally sold went for $386 and $440. The one that sold for $440 had a 80gb hard drive installed.
@GanEdenAustralia skrillex bro, he uses an mpc. and i have a friend who makes electronica and techno who also uses an mpc. But the mpc is always given focus when talking about hip-hop because it was the backbone of hip-hop and still is in many ways
Dude at the end explained why everyone uses the MPC haha well said
It depends on your budget. You can get an MPC 2000XL or 1000 for around $300 - $400 if you look around. Machine will run between $500 - $600. I own both and I still prefer the MPC but had I not been using the MPC for the last 12 years I would probably go with Maschine.
da mpc is what started it all! so you figure it out! i got a 2000xl i had a 2500 and now i got a 1000 and they all kick ass but in my opinion the 2000xl feels the best
@mpchead621
The firsts were MIDI production center... then change to MUSIC production center since the 4000 (i think)
@caddycuts
I couldn't agree with you anymore! My first beat machine was the mv-8000. It was a great piece of equip, but hardware cost way too much money. Having a mpc or mv means you need sound modules and the list goes on. After finding and discovering the capabilities in what I think is the best DAW period (Ableton Live 8 Suite - lol), I have just sold my mv today! (real talk) Software just allows you to do what a mv or mpc can do...but on steriods!! I'm rocking ableton live 8 suite & mpk61!
@mpchead621 actually it is midi production center as well... seeing as how i own a 2k xl and it says on it midi production center... but maybe you own a newer one and they have changed it since then
dope beat
Sp12 was more of the dawn of hip hop, the mpc was more golden era
True-True
i just saw this episode on current
i cant afford an mpc or turntables so thanks to technology, im going to do it the ghetto way, a cheap tablet, a program called Supreme Mpa, a condenser mic and a 1964 no name organ.
Honestly man, it's not a "ghetto" way if you use a tablet or even your laptop. laptops and tablets these days have leaps and bounds better capabilities than an MP. I used to use an MP for a minute, and now I exchanged all my hardware with just my laptop. However I do have drum pads though and a midi keyboard. This thing def looks cool and looks like it does alot, but the MPC pre-recent akai ones are quite limited. It has limited sampling time, simultaneous effects etc.
Your setup is actually pretty damn legit man and probably crazy more powerful than the MPCs discussed in the video.
I do miss my 2k at times though haha just for nostalgia sake.
yeah i totally know what you mean when it comes to the whole technology thing. I mean you dont even need a big studio that cost thousands a day, all you need is your laptop and a good DAW. i would have love to have an mpc though someday but for now the tablet with supreme MPA is working out great, the best fucking app ever. The guy who came out with it modeled it exactly after the MPC so for only $5.00 you get a full drum machine with full sample, effect and editing capabilities. i cant complaint about that, i think it goes above and beyond its capabilities for an app.
You could take it all the way back to getting a recorder and beatboxin.. Whatever it takes..
Hi from the future you can get an mpk or Mpd their affordable now.
yep been on mpc for 13 years, But I use nothing but controllers now,Way more options,So when people ask me what drum machine to get I suggest a controller and programs, and be done with it
What is that instrumental playing before 1:00?
yahhh !
i love samplers. I'm debating as to whether i want to keep or sell my roland mv8800. I paid 1500 for it a few years ago i want to get the maschine studio
Maschine all the way... It's the best mix of a sampler and a midi controller with lots of really good software. Not to mention you can upgrade to Komplete 11 Ultimate for pretty cheap.
derKampfschimmel how much for it? I bought the Maschine studio on father's day as a gift to myself, I also got the KompleteS49 keyboard. I didn't know about komplete 11.
Please active subtitles translate. Gracias Thanks!
He likes phat beats, and he can not lie.
I'll drink to that!
@prettdboy OUCH - you should have kept it unless you needed the money!
I switched to Ableton / Cubase from MPC / Hardware around 8-9 years ago and I wish I'd hung on to my gear! Don't get me wrong - I love Ableton - but the little bit of change that second hand gear gets you isn't worth it. I had a couple synths I'd take back... :-(
Lmao "i like fat beats"
when you the classical guitarist dork at school but you secretley ghetto lokey
its actually both midi production and music production ... i have a mpc 2000xl that says midi production and a mpc 2500 that says music production ,... , , so in all reality its both ..
4:25 "i like fat beats"
and oh shit i was the 808th like
it's not "midi production center" it's "music production center"
AKAI MPC 2000XL For ever
So uh... I hate to possibly ruin the comments but MPC or Maschine?
I like phat beats.
anyone know the song at 0:24
Does anyone know the K-Murdock track that starts at 2:10?
OldSchool9690 I wish
I second that. I own both...Mpc is better to me especially with the new line of software based mpc....The Maschines timing is not on point to my taste.
MPC stand for MIDI PRODUCTION CENTER..NOT MUSIC PRODUCTION CENTER... IT really can drive all sorts of electronic instruments besides just playing samples through midi.
No..it's music production center. It's written on the machine. lol
+Dramastic Music WELL MY MPC2000 says MIDI PRODUCTION CENTER...... SO THAT MACHINE IS ALMOST 20 years old... which one are you talking about.... some cheap ass new plastic shit...that just came out...
+xpez My 4000 says "music". Maybe they changed it at some point. But yea.. I own actual MPCs. Not the controllers.
yeah my 3000 says midi also
all the mpc's i think up to the 2000xl were Midi Production Center, then the 4000, 1000, 5000 were Music Production Centers, now the ren and studio, touch are Music Production Controllers
"It fell out of fashion for a while, but now, it's back."
Uh, exactly when did it fall out of fashion?
Search "MindBody&Beats" they got the best beats
he followed me on instagram one day
Rip steez
The creme colored MPC was from 1998 not 1999 I used to own one...
The MPC2000 is a 64-track sampler/sequencer introduced in 1997 and discontinued in 2000.
i like phat beats yo peep my mpc work
maschine + midi keyboard + Komplete Ultimate + technics 1200 + vynls = limitless
any mv users?
brokenupbeat What was wrong with the MV? What made it mess? I was thinking of getting one off E-Bay.
mv is better. just gotta know how to use it plus it very simple to figure out if you have the patience.
@2live 1mind: Just curious. What makes the MV better in your opinion?
Chopping samples, zero crossing, effects, bouncing your tracks to waveform for tracking out(don't have the op1), resampling, etc. mpc is probably better tbch but I came from fl and logic so it was like home for me when I played with it and I only got it for $330 lol
brokenupbeat .
yep ableton is music on steroids that is what i tell people.lol that program is amazing it will do what ever you want and then some,Can't wait for the bridge,
4:13
Affordable.... HA fuck that
Haha classical guy didn't even get his music in the videoo.
HAHA 4:24
hey guys guess wut.....i like fat beats O_O
nah. you just wrong. simple and plain.
dont matter where it comes from. people who are hung on equipment to the point that they give it more importance than the music thats produced with it are just wack.
9th wonder started in FL Studio and if you think he doesnt have musical sensibility your just an idiot. Eventually he started using the MPC and just carried his style over. A true producer has the music in THEM and just manifest it through whatever medium. The tool wont make you better.
MpC is dead
