the story behind the mpc...

[open mind]

i wanna know from mpc veterans that know some history from back in da dayz why akais mpc was so popular in hiphop production.
i mean there are so many ways to chop samples and assigning them to keys/pads WITHOUT it.

would be cool if some dudes can put som light in this mystery.

Sequncer, u cant beat it, its based on roger lyinns legendary sequncing ideas. Its not the pads the make the MPC popular, its the sequncer and anybody that uses it can tell you that its top notch...

yup .. its the feel of the sequencer ..and it looks pretty

put it his way .. can i make beats without it..sure ...techincally any software program can pretty much what my 4000 can do.. so i should sell the 4k and invest elsewhere right?



NOPE! ill never sell that thing .. cuz for me its about the feel not the function... limitations often make ur more creative... 4k has no crashes, no skips, no fucup.. the thing just works rigt evry single time...
