Drum machine / synth / sampler geekery

You guys seen the MPC Sample? Baby MPC. Looks pretty sick. Not sure exactly what they left in / out

Interesting. I have always loved the idea of the MPC but the file hierarchy really pissed me off on the MPC1000 and put me right off. If this is as instant as it alludes it could be fun.

Although I have enough samplers at the moment and just bought a couple of fun bots of gear.

Manifold antelope and Fieldtone Modular Weaver.

Cynical but I think they made these for Instagram audience to compete with teenage engineering and if you want an mpc you probably want a proper mpc. That said, I saw Jazzy Jeff demo it and it did look fun.

There’s a place for battery powered fun things to jam with on a log haul flight etc but I’ll wait until fuel prices drop :rofl:

That’s the thing, I wouldn’t want an MPC to do it all, I have so much other stuff I use that it would never need to be the be all. I like the live playability to give more live feeling to the other things I have sequenced on a grid.

Yeah I think it would be best as a travel bit of kit or a second machine for use on the sofa etc if wires etc are a problem. Then again I bet some people will make great stuff on it, it has more features than a classic 60, 2000 etc and plenty of hits have been made on those things

Haven’t even heard of those! Sure you didn’t just make them up?

Trust Pete Rock to make a good MPC clip

That MPC samples a weird one, seems almost toy like compared to a 2000xl but it’s being proclaimed to be perfect for folks that don’t want an MPC with a DAW included
