You can't map stuff on the back end, start a new project then everything will just work. Although you have to midi learn functions per project. I've settled on using the Midi Fighter Twister to do mostly what I want. This is because I want to do more live stuff and I've reached the limitations of what the MPC can do without major setup. Had to learn the new work flow since I never had an MPC.Īfter a year of using the MPC my direction is leaning going to Ableton. Eventually got a synth a few years ago and then got the MPC One. My background in music was arranger type of software back when Sony Acid Pro started out. I've been using the MPC One for little over a year now. I guess my question is for the new mpc heads - has this purchase been worth for you? And most importantly is it fun to make music this way? I'm a hobbyist not a professional musician by any means, so your opinion is super important. I think limiting myself will help to stay more in the flow of music rather then tinkering with settings of plug-ins and stuff.

Also I found myself lost in settings of ableton way to often thinking that new vst or effect will be the thing that will make my sound better. I always had fun with machine but it bothered me that I had to be attached to the computer in order to make music. I am an ableton user and in the past I used machine mk2. My question is more towards people who didn't come from a long lineage of using mpcs and rather are new to the work flow and the whole mpc line. The MPD26 also features the MPC series' assignable Q-Link controllers, enabling you to control nearly any parameters in your software in real time.Hey guys, non mpc user here, I've been watching mpc one for a while now and am almost there to pull the trigger but am still hesitating to put 600 eur towards getting myself this new toy. You can access four different sounds from each MPC pads for a total of 64 at your fingertips. The heart of the MPD26 is its bank of 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive MPC pads, an Akai Professional exclusive.
