Akai MPC X

BEATBRAWLER · 2025-02-21T14:26:36-0500

I finally got another MPC. I have a used Akai MPC X on layaway. I going to replace the front metal face plate, the plastic red side panels and the rubber pads. Can’t wait!

I’m really starting to love Fl Studio Slice X though

I think you'll be happy with the X. Such a powerful machine and chopping samples is a breeze. Post a photo when you get it. Cheers

Which mpc are you on currently?

BEATBRAWLER · 2025-02-21T14:39:13-0500

I had an old Akai years back. Lately been just using DAW FL studio which is pretty awesome once you get the hang it it. I can use anything once get the hang of timing the chops with the BPM on the piano rolls

BEATBRAWLER · 2025-02-21T14:41:25-0500

I’ve used a lot of different things over the years with friends and on my own but will be strictly using the X and Slice X on FL Studio. Love flipping samples but I’m just practicing trying to get better and better at it. Need to start working on my mixing more than anything now

BEATBRAWLER · 2025-02-21T14:42:16-0500

Either it’s fun during the learning process and making a few bangers hear and there along the way

Yeah, I was using slicex when I first got into sampling. I got a mpc one a few years ago and I absolutely love it. Dope shit!!!

I owe $500 left on the Akai X. I’ll post the before and after pics! Can’t wait!

Fade · 2025-02-21T16:19:05-0500

Congrats! I tried out the MPC One and it was cool but I didn't realize from the pictures that the pads are not full size. It was fun using the touchscreen but I found it to be a bit hard to press certain items. But I would love to try the X with a bigger screen and workspace. It must be fun as hell.

BEATBRAWLER · 2025-02-21T16:26:24-0500

Exactly! On the Akai MPC ONE the button are smaller. Time to work on mastering the X!

Delta Skeltah · 2025-02-21T17:20:41-0500

Yeah, that's right. The ONE has smaller pads and the touch screen isn't responsive as Mr Fade noted. The X just looks baddass imo. Kinda looks like a mpc renaissance. Truly a centerpiece for any studio.

BEATBRAWLER · 2025-02-21T17:28:29-0500

Can’t wait I’m excited

That's always been my impression of it. I never got the Ren because I had Maschine at the time, but the X looks similar. It's a nice layout overall.

If anyone here has an MPC X and is bored with it, just give it to me so I can give it a good home!
