I saw people commenting on Facebook that he didn't address any shortcomings and therefore they must've paid him off. It's not like he has to be aware of every MPC model that came out after the 3000. He was probably blown away at how far ahead they've evolved his creation. The 3000 didn't load keygroups, didn't have plug ins or even effects for that matter. People need to see the forest from the trees
He kinda addressed in the beginning that he had beef with the old Japan-based Akai but was kool with American Akai and enjoyed the free quality product - which was probably sent as a peace offering. It went over people's heads, though
@@LitCrease I somehow missed that he said that. I watched the video from Linn's own TH-cam channel as well. Even without that, people should be grateful that he even took the time to say anything about the current MPCs. People can be so entitled sometimes that it's disgusting.
@@LitCrease My understanding was that they owed him back royalties since they became American (InMusic). I have no idea how that was resolved, but I feel like it had to be for this to come together.
Yup, didn't look like that was paid to me at all. Though he only ALLUDED to the beef he had with Akai, something everyone would have missed if they didn't know the history. As a fan of the mpc line myself, I would think that he would be gobsmacked at what it can do now, and at that price. Must have been a reality check next to his LinnStrument. And I would think he would be proud that his offspring is so ubiquitous now, despite the beef. Linn will always be a hero to me though. I just bought an AdrenaLinn end of last year.
Great guy...I got to hang with him in the 80s and he even stopped by my studio when he was working on the MPC for Akai. I had a LinnSequencer back then. I also hung with Bob Moog at NAMM. The OGs! Those were the days!
Roger Linn actually designed the Ableton Push in a way which uses some of his MPC ideas and some of his Linnstrument ideas. He also designed the Maschine in a way and also the MC-707 and all the groove boxes that came around after his design hit. What an absolute genius of all time.
@@lartisan6274 Easy to think of now there are so many of these silicon buttoned machines. But this layout was unknown until the mind of Roger Linn. And yes, Ableton did steal his Linnstrument for the latest Push which basically has the Linnstrument inside.
You skipped out on the best part and that is him naughty smiling that he has no intention of sending it back. By now he probably has already completely turned the device inside out to see what the internals look like.
We have our vindication.....time to move on from all this un-necessary Hate....want ya "classic sound"? Buy a converter and stfu🤣🤣... the MPC does what its suppose to do Make Beats....Excellent reaction vid AVE 💯🔥
WTMFB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something is definitely wrong with you if you waited for Roger Linn to give a favorable review on Modern MPC workstations for you to have "vindication." Also, the MPC doesnt make beats. The operator of an MPC (or any other musical equipment) is the motherf*&^^ who "makes beats."
@@dianevrules This plus I don't really have any issue with the things E-A-Ski was saying... He was talking about the flagship models of the MPC. The spite in either direction is really unnecessary.
Roger Linn has always beena. class act! I was fortunate enough to speak to him on the phone in the mid 90s when I purchased an MPC 60 MK2 upgrade and he walked me through the entire process and not once sounded bothered or anything like that. ROGER LINN is the MPC! Thanks for sharing this Ave!
Don’t stop you and Malo are amazing Bolo and other Samplekings I thank you all as I am just a bassist classically trained yet I be on the mp so much that my wrist weak. I love making music and your channel inspires . As the beat goes on
The current MPC doesn’t have to be better sounding than the much talked about vintage units because at the end of the day, the modern ones are the ones I own. I’m done with the converter debate.
Glad he approves! Also, Ave, you gotta do a video review of Air’s new soft clipper. It would be cool to see a direct comparison to the FL clipper and Orange Clipper. No one has a video like that yet.
Bro, forget all that! If YOU have an opinion about something, then stand on that!! Trust and believe, we all know what and who you’re referring to, and THAT’S fine as well. Two different opinions on a subject shouldn’t have started a beef! Brothers need to stop it; actually, it brought out dialog between older musicians and new musicians to talk, and that’s a great thing!! I actually loved it until it turned ugly…which should’ve NEVER happened! Never let others stop your dreams brother!!
Honestly I've always felt the "DAW-in-a-box" allegations have been way overstated. I was able to jump right into the same workflow on the Live 2 that I used a decade prior on the MPC 1000, and while I think that improvements could be made to lessen the dependence on the touchscreen and some sequence arrangement issues that need to be hammered out, it still feels like an MPC to me, just with built-in plugins and modern QOL features like wifi and USB.
When the father of all drum machines, checks out their product on TH-cam, the people at Akai must've been really looking for validation while biting their fingernails
13:11 They sent him the unit, he keep the unit, plus he promoted his product at the same time. You can't see the potential for bias here. he's at a place in his life were he values peace over anything and everything. Besides large corporations know if you bash their products without proof, they can sue you for damages. R.L. don't want that kind of smoke, so he kept it politically correct and went for the win-win. I'm not mad at him at all.
Roger that dog! I still have my MPC 60ii. I'm bout to gone put it in the shop so I can reload some of them disk from the 90s. Notice he said "they did a good job with MY design" 😂
Keep your head up and stay humble and blessed my brother. Always do like us original creators is make music that moves your soul. I'm always in the bg watching your videos and in your streams whenever you do stream. SALUTE King. Stay Blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
The New Akai Force may incorporate the Linnstrument for the Pad layout. I can see this happening, as it appears that Roger Linn and Akai may be hooking up again 👍
Brother keep doing what you are doing. You don’t know how much you inspired me to start making beats again. After a 10 year break. Much love. Oh and where can I get those lil mini mpc things you have in all the models?
Good Afternoon. I hope you're doing very well today. I have the MPC ONE Plus. Is your course MPC ONE Master Class the right course to take? I just want to nake sure that I buy the corrrect course for my MPC ONE Plus. I wrote to you in the comments of your latest IG post as well. As soon as I hear from you I will buy the course. Have a great day ☀️🍃🎼
Hey ave I’m interested in uploading beats to TH-cam like the [Free] instrumental type I just wanted to ask your opinion (equipment and such) on how if you know the best way or a good way to do that?
Yo Ave! Just wanted to add to what you were saying about new MPC accessibility, from someone who is completely blind. I would love if Akai added accessibility to the new MPCsIt really shouldn't require too much more than studying how apple implemanted accessibility/screen reader usage in iOS. Currently I use a 2500... How I do, long story short, is just interface memorization, definitely not the best workaround, but I am getting things done to a very satisfactory level for me. PEACE 🫡
akai has this legend still living and they now sent him the product to review smh.... do better companies.. after seeing your customers going to other companies have you guys thinking like ya should again
If humble was a person it’s Roger Linn
SREE Khrisna bless him!!!
Facts!
@KirkState knows! Peace Brotha
Akai Needs to slide him some retroactive bread ✊✊
The father of the MPC has spoken.
The man who helped shape "HIP-HOP" unintentionally Rodger Linn ! Great video🔥🔥

The lord of the MPC has spoken! But I like the Linnstrument plug 😉😉😆
One of the biggest Legends, alongside Tom Oberheim, Robert Moog and Dave Smith.
Don't forget Dave Rossum !

slick rick type beat 😂😂
love this vid!! Roger seems to be a very down to earth person
Bruh I smell a new akai Roger Linn colab coming ...what I say ... 40 year anniversary edition 2026????
Let’s Get It!!!
akai sitting on a gold mine making a modern roger linn edition mpc by collaborating with him again. fr time is precious akai pls
Exactly, reproducing an old MPC, simpler, but with a few modern features added back.
A flagship model with rupert neve trafo, best converters etc.
Beat makers have a certain bounce when they’re making music. I love to see it. I’m totally convinced that I need to cop a LIve II. 😂😂
Epic video. You missed the end of his video when he said he’s keeping the live 2 😂
The current MPC doesn’t have to be better sounding than the much talked about vintage units because at the end of the day, the modern ones are the ones I own.
I’m done with the converter debate.
Pay that man, let him have a hand at the mpc live 3 and call it the mpc live 3000 and it will be the best thing ever and sale the most units ever
This was a dope video. Nice to see the creator using his creation.
Appreciate it!
Glad he approves!

Ya man...preach. Folks need to know the history to see the future. And it sounds like Mr. History (Roger Lynn) has signed off on the future.
Much Love and God bless you Sir! I had the original 2k and 4k, before I moved on to Maschine and FL.
ladies and gentlemen, these are the modern musicians who only talk about music on TH-cam… ah yes, it’s better than producing for some idiots 😉
I saw it straight when it came up and instantly loved it - felt genuine
HE COULD OF CHOSE THE X SE BUT HE CHOSE THE LIVE 2 WIN WIN WIN 🔥🔥🔥🔥I HAVE BOTH BUT MY LIVE 2 IS THE BEST CREATIVLEY
MPC X Linn edition in 3, 2, 1…..
Great video Ave, this is so important to know. It helps keep the truth about the MPCs true! Thanks for sharing.
royalties re-enabled?
That Linn drum machine ran the early 80's!!!
He's too humble I would have tax akai big-time.
Hopefully we get another RL mpc 3000 with his input in the future
I hope Akai gave him a fat check for this review for everything they put him through.
Respect to living Double OGs these new gen Zs need to show respect!!!!

Same with me from the MPC 5000
How your man lay down a Soul II Soul drum break and then flip it into a whole ass Happy Mondays song?
It was cool to see him use the Linnstrument with it. He is an amazing inventor.
The best thing that I learned about Roger in this video is HE’S A 49ers FAN DID YOU SEE THEM 49ers PILLOWS IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!
Roger Linn a hip hop legend 🐐
Dope video Ave 🤞🏽
Name names, 🥷. We all know who you're referring to when you mention "enthusiast" 😂. I heard vindication in your voice 😂😂😂
They should of sent him X SE instead.
I love the new MPCs, Especially the MPC X SE. I like the sound of them, the ergonomics, specs and ability to record anything.
Who????? This dude can’t hear the converter difference…
Kinda fitting that the father of the MPC put that video out on Father's Day...
wait till he tries Koala
Glazing
Truth!
😂
Akai should’ve gave Roger a MPC that has a limited edition color.
Stay motivated to keep giving us content. Because you are appreciated. I've learned alot from you .
It was 🔥🔥🔥 watching him freestyle a beat
It’s always dope gettin input from the OG’z & elders in the game 💪🏾

Mr. Linn said "Typewriter keyboard" … I have not heard this since middle school. I know many of you have never. Very good vides!!!🤑🤑🤑
This is like George Lucas watching the mandalorian and saying he likes what he sees. 🤓
I wonder what a 8GB of RAM would look like? Maybe more graphical based plugins, although I still think 2GB is plenty for using your ears

Roger apparently dgaf about converters! Not one mention of them or whether or not it sounds like the 60 or the 3000.
Wow ... sounds like a movie soundtrack
Great video. Roger linn is a legend. I had the Linndrum back in the day. The MPC live 2 is dope 👊
If akai was smart. They link back up with Mr Linn and do Akai Roger Linn editions.
This is the dopest shit EVER!!!!
I smell a Roger Linn Signature addition coming in the near future. Please! 😅
I made it to the 1 min mark and realized it wasn’t an interview with Linn. Just another silly reaction video.
Hold on imma make a reaction to this reaction video of someone's reaction to that product
Mr Linn going hardcore dancehall on us ❤
Roger Linn, the original bad bwoy
@@thelefthandofcreation1617 No doubt
If I was blind that touchscreen might make it difficult 😅
Roger's about to fall out with the new Akai if they don't get his standalone stems out 🥳🎉
Homie got an ABLETON shirt on.
Absolutely everyone should listen to Stevie Wonder
Yes... You should listen to Stevie Wonder. 🙏🏿
My first MP was the MPC mk2 Ive had every one since.
Roger Linn says "Don't RTFM!"
Wonder why he did it ? Has Akai reached out as AI starts to eat their lunch ?
You nailed it on not being able to download expansion via mpc WiFi
Like if you want MPE on the MPC pads 🙌🏾
No Roger didn’t just cook up live 😮 wow
Waiting on a new MPC XXX (Linnited Edition) 🤣🤣🤣
Roger Linn Type Beats 🔥🔥🔥
