    How long have you use it?

    I used it for 3 months

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    Yes I used the MPC 2500, Mpc 2000XL, MPC 3000, Ensoniq EPS 16, Akai S950 and emu SP1200

    - The are many effects can therefore be used with each pad, what do you pleasure.

    - The complete connector on the sound card

    - The Estetique and ease of use

    Now come to the part that really disappointed me:

    Already start with the sound part:
    - Loss of momentum, with an example as I have sampled breakbeat vinyl (Technics SL1200 MK2 with M44-7 cell), and once cut to mpc, no more potato my vinyl even using the internal eq and compressor the software ...

    - It sounds too digital for my taste, the sound is not neutral color (Logic as it's digital)

    - The A / D converters are really not good at all

    Then in terms of the MPC REN

    - But the reagent pad is hit too hard for my taste (Unlike the old generation)

    - Bug Unwanted Software and MPC freezes (Hear AKAI after 2 years of software update)

    - Do not take to the live at least for the moment because too many bug Hardware and Software

    - Fragility of the MPC

    .....

    How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    Too expensive for what it is, to be honest with you Akai wanted to make a machine to succeed the older generation is missed because for 880 euro, I would call an MPC but not its surface with a midi sound card ( MPC STUDIO MIDI)
    For my part after trying MPC 2500 3000, SP1200 Ensoniq eps 16 ... I can tell you that there's no picture sonnorité levels ...

    Its not worth it in any case is 880 euro !! After this is my personal opinion

    With the experience I would not choose that it is something that is on, To invest MPC 2500 that no loss transparent and level converters has limited effect certe 2 but the sound that I would be back in the I'd even go out.

    Akai has simply become a trading company that designed the sale and not the quality.!

    How long have you use it?

    I ais for 5 months.

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    I have the mpc 1000 with the osjj, more I "ve worked on cubase 5.


    What thing do you like most?

    Its sequencer
    visual comfort and work thanks to software

    light pads

    vintage fashion especially the mpc 60 giving a can of potato prod mode

    is its ease of use even without specific notion of English is doing very well, we are working a classic mpc faster, the finish is excellent, recall the design of the mpc 60.

    It is very ergonomic.


    How do you like the least?

    Unable to save the prod with the vintage mode (works only reading)

    No detector bpm
    Neither side chain

    Unable to save the prod with the vintage mode (works only reading)

    No detector bpm
    Neither side chain
    It's not really a mpc is a control surface that is dependent on its software to work
    but it is mainly the overall stability of the software which is disappointing, yet I had ais version 1.6 (the first thought that we purchased in 2012 to version 1.0), I already had the software crash and even pc (blue screens) and more bugs backup made me lose my current project, the problem of external vst that are planted and even those like the famous Akai hybrid (version 1.7) that this cut when I change preset so I am forced to charge for it working again makes me spike gpu so that I have a Q9550 intel cadensé to 3.4GHz and since I switched to version 1.7 my backup problems is missing but other bug the crash appeared more numerous (software and pc) crack audio during recording software that is not responding when I stopped, and even Temp Temp in the 16 level that it disables all alone while I do a bass line by ex, as you say that to live is missing, otherwise I think the future shift of Akai contribute their share of resolutions but when ??? here is another story.

    How would you rate the quality / price?

    It's quite expensive for a control surface and an ultra buggy software that is yet out there 2 years ago.

    With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    Yes, because without her unstable and poorly optimized software, the mpc ren would be a frightening machine
    now all in the hands of akai to continue corrected bugs and added new functionalities to the mpc renaissance is inevitable.

    I bounce on the advice of atomik45 which seems to be the most objective opinion about this MPC Renaissance.

    For my part, I also have a MPC 5000 and have long hesitated to sell in favor of rebirth.
    Having been able to have a loan from a friend for 2 weeks, I was able to get an idea of ​​the craft.

    On paper, it is really tempting, certainly the most comfortable to use compared to all these small and big sisters MPC:

    - Edition computer, nothing to do with the LCD screen.
    - Pads that illuminate to have benchmarks for live.
    - MPC software software is very close to the MPC editor, so we are not disoriented.

    - Edition computer, nothing to do with the LCD screen.
    - Pads that illuminate to have benchmarks for live.
    - MPC software software is very close to the MPC editor, so we are not disoriented.

    In fact, it's all well and good, but like the other MPCs can be controlled by noon and midi control via many software (reason 7, live, cubase, logic, etc ... etc ...) no major changes except for a pads that light.
    Ha if there is still a significant change the MPC does not work if it was not connected to a computer is not well understood logic akai for once, so it is a kind of MPD (controller pm) which has a sound card and built-in preamp ....

    Noise level, it is like all the MPCS, everything depends on the samples we upload it.
    Nevertheless, the MPC60 module provides a really interesting grain.

    I think for now this MPC is not yet developed, the software is still perfectible and is sometimes inconsistent with vst pluging some apps.

    If you've never had this type of device in the hands, the MPC has at least the merit of having a simple app, so grip fast enough.
    If you are looking for against an MPC that can stand alone even if you do not care the next bling / bling pads that light up / if you want to use for live / if you bought reason or ableton live 7 ( great external midi controller) I advise you rather older MPC to be equally effective (note nevertheless fault, because more and more difficult to find on some parts)

    I've had 2 days.

    I had the MPC 2000, 2000XL, 500, 2500 and 5000

    When I plugged the bike and started to realize the opportunities, I thought: "Big killing". After two days of intensive taf on the machine, I think it's huge potential. You can do everything without taking the mouse, AU plugins and instruments turn out well (I remain suspicious) and automatically assign to 16 pots. The step sequencer is quite handy for touch-ups. Everything is well thought out to make room for creation. Everything is changeable, improvable, interchangeable at will, as the old but with technological improvements that were needed. A CGPA of modern times.

A CGPA of modern times.

    For negative criticism, and yes ... I met my first bugs tonight retouching few sequences. Machine freezée once in rehearsal, cold morning. And again tonight from the "FULL" mode from the "step sequencing". Since I no longer hear the pads with a "track" mutated when I type it, then I do not mute the pad but the slopes. I think the backup is corrupt, I have encountered this problem on Reason and another model of MPC.

    All that to say that the app is not encor very stable and I hope it will not let me live ... The MPC 5000 encountered similar problems. Unable to make a scene with a chance of planting a title. AKAI and never solved the problem ... € 1500 machine ...

    I hope the programmers are doing to improve code just because it could, if it was reliable, to turn pale concurence smoothly. Sequencing System is the best I've seen, a cinch with endless possibility!

    For once, I can not say if I would do this choice or not, I regretted the acquisition of 5000. The bugs I encountered on the Renaissance reminded me bad memories ... waiting for updates.

    it is oriented electro, but they are a ton of sounds, even after 2 months of use I have not been around;
    effects are giant, and the use of huge vst effects.

    it is expensive because it is an empty shell, and hit mpc is not that of a true hard mpc (regarding the groove)!
    but it is a killer!

    an empty shell

    Akai Professional MPC RenaissancePublished on 05/19/13 at 02:36

    we can say it is like a control surface with dedicated software (but it can also controlling vst)
    it also serves as USB hub, which is pretty awesome to connect a master keyboard or other control surface

    I turn on a macbook pro 2009 dual core with 4GB of RAM and it runs well

    I do not know the universe and the akai mpc is a first for me who works especially in a home studio with Logic 9 and some vst
    everything is pretty much done, the app is pretty clear and everything is accessible from the MPC, which is very significant when using the MPC with its software, a lot of sounds, the assignments to the pads, sequences, everything is really well thought

    everything is pretty much done, the app is pretty clear and everything is accessible from the MPC, which is very significant when using the MPC with its software, a lot of sounds, the assignments to the pads, sequences, everything is really well thought
    there are still some bugs sometimes ignition (mpc not recognized, turn off and turn on the soft and mpc)
    use vst in a sequencer I use with Logic Pro 9, it's done, the app resembles that in standelone without midday grid to create the groove, so you would lose a little. I think it still lacks a few things, the integration is not quite to the point because we do not really know what we play and what is recorded, there are some bugs because it can control the DAW with play and stop commands to the MPC, for against the rec keys do not work over dub. Most of the time I am forced to use a system of doing that is to record each audio track in the DAW to be able bosser, you know, it's a bit away from the standelone version, which is super intuitive and easy to use. MPC uses his card, I was able to record voice tracks in Logic with a condenser microphone (XLR inputs on the 48v).
    the manual is in English pdf, there is a French version of the forums audiofanzine thanks, thank you guys
    installing apps is quite simple and updates bring many, update 1.4 is here one month also expects it to be even better

    many sounds and many possibilities, it's really well done, the effects are good, but sometimes I need to use the mouse as there are some things that I have not grasped in the edition with the MPC
    editing samples is very well made, the pads, the Qlink and finally the possibility of using vst
    on the other hand when we pass on vst (even the wub, the noise, the bank and 808 are supplied with the MPC) where you must use the mouse and the screen and be a little patient because sometimes I find it slow to react and so use of the DAW VST
    personally I'm not really connected electro synth sounds so I'm never a big fan but you can still fiddle with the Qlink

    mixed view, therefore, what's weird is that without soft, the MPC is an empty shell, when you turn the app on his computer there is always suspended when one wonders what will happen if the app does not recognize not the MPC
    once the two connected in standelone is a treat, the MPC is great and you can order everything, it really is a workstation

    then for integration into a DAW, it could still be improved, I expect a lot of updates in future days because the possibilities are still high and there are still some bugs (something I rarely see on Mac) as when I leave the DAW and I pass on standelone version, the soft and MPC do not recognize, you must turn on the 2

    Here, I wanted to bring a different view from the other for a different use
    I think it is not bad and it could still be improved, the ball is in the camp that comes AKAI updates fortunately

    MPC Renaissance or absolute kif!

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    For connectivity, I let you see here on the Akai website or in any good dealer ;)

    In terms of sound, the Renaissance comes with 4 DVD (The Bank, The Wub, The 809 and The Noise)

    The Bank is 7GB of sounds

    To be quite honest, I have the REN for too little time to judge the sounds provided and VSTs, I can just say that it is good and not so good as in many of his bank and instruments virtual. From what little I tried, I found sounds that me and convinced.

    It still remains very suggestive and strongly linked to tastes 

    Absolutely, the REN has a complete effects section. I had the opportunity to test a few, they are quite useful and you can tell they are not transparent! (At the same time, is not what is required of effects!)

    Regarding the sequencer, it is simply amazing (although sure, this is a sequencer loop oriented, so do not expect a general sequencer (such as Logic, Cubase or other )). Simply put it is an MPC sequencer "classic" to boobs computing environment. As a version! super-on-vitamin! allowing you the use of plugs VSTs, internal routing, sampling, mixing, inserting effects, etc, etc ...


    The general configuration is simple, it installs apps, one after the other (which classic), the updates are done and lets go!

    Regarding features, Akai is very very strong! Everything is on the MPC, is fast, clear and precise. Easy access, I have not used the manual, but did some research on YouTube and watched videos of Young Guru (MPC University). Everything falls to hand, the ergonomics are excellent! (This is also my method, I prefer fun to try the functions to see what happens than go for ages on a manual, and honestly, as long as you have used an computer music (or machines), all makes sense, everything is very intuitive (The workflow must be the legendary MPC's ;)) and if a function escapes me, that's when I look at the manual.

    For anyone who is included in the kit, Akai is provided a quick start guide and the French version of the manual is available here on AF. (This limit does not provide full manual, but for me, I worry that soon)


    Regarding the sound of the REN, there's no denying she has a potato. It mailings! For sounds provided, from what I've heard they are good bills like effects, etc. ..

    Concerning the expression of the pads, it's all good, excellent reactivity, velocity also nothing to say on this side. The pads are properly placed, the screen allows you to quickly make sense (for the function buttons). The screen displays the correct information (some should take a leaf ..).


    That's been a week that I have acquired the Renaissance. It is a real pleasure to deal with this machine. Everything is perfectly thought out ergonomics, we make music, we love to make music, and create music, forget the computer (while enjoying its possibilities), the mouse becomes almost a decorative accessory, the sampling section could not be more effective (chop, slice, time stretch, etc ...) and extremely easy to handle. Everything happens on the MPC (I watch almost even the computer screen), the mouse is fast, very fast forgotten. The workflow could not be more effective. Our sequences we arrange the easiest and fastest in the world, is edited, erased, test the effects without taking the head, in short is immersed in the music that we do not think the computer to add track, etc. ..

    Akai is listening to its customers and works hard (that's what it seems to me anyway) to improve the system. For a long time I did not take much pleasure in composing "beatmaker". This is why I highly recommend. I had acquired in the past NI Maschine, I was not at all attached to the workflow, it was sloppy and not intuitive. Well I have trouble with the NI apps in general, I find them often poorly thought out and not ergonomic (although despite this, I used a lot Kontakt and Massive), and although it must be said, they are powerful . My feelings between the two is that NI has made the idea of ​​a merger between the "MPC" and the software and Akai has materialized.

    Not having had the opportunity to test the Renaissance before purchase, I was a little scared to find myself once again facing a much improved controller (type NI Maschine) and not a real integration of the MPC in the world computer. My fear is quite clear! I no longer have doubts, it's a killer!

    So obviously, you have to guess, I would do this choice without hesitation. And for those who are wondering between NI and AKAI, in my opinion, there are no photos, akais was really strong and surpasses NI Loint (maybe not in terms of functionality, which are all very close), but the ergonomics, accessibility, playability, which to me is the primary "Having fun to make a" I put all my downline on MPC Renaissance.

    MPC THE FUTURE!!

    What connections (audio, MIDI ...)?
    It has everything we need or should! even a small sound card! (Very handy for re-sampling)

    Enormously too! of GiGA and GiGA!
    Are they edited?
    Yes!

    Etc. .... View akai site or wait a test on AF for more details!

    The general configuration is it simple?

    The general configuration is it simple?

    Yes very and more if you have already used an MPC! We can do as the old version of MPC I mean by just worked on the controller without much use of the screen! Or for more comfort we can do everything from the computer! I confess to prepare good program that is much faster and no bug or other non-imported file! So I used a can of both ;) Mcf / screen.

    The manual is clear and sufficient?

    Little less for the little booklet that comes with have to do a ten page while KC! Luckily someone put the real doc on the forum AF French! I say that we should have with the MPC not the quick Bootup to furnish! (Pdf not find the cd version a scandal lol)

    The usual functions are they easily accessible?

    Yes everything is accessible from the front either directly or by double action key (shift-hold pressed) the worst is the screen right next to the computer!

    AH yes little less for the weight too! I understand better the importance of Studio shot!

    The sounds they suit your style of music?

    Yes they are people really for all the taste of the start! Following is a sampler so ...
    The effect is correct and y 'really!
    The pads are the same as a 1000/2500 I believe much more sensitive as well! and even more sensitive to the MPC Studio! I've never seen it so sensitive I think it's crazy! (Not the same pads at all really liked the end ...)
    The big surprise of the Akai MPC suporte all plug-in (well I do not have any test but we will say it supports a lot of plug in) and it is a true novelty for MPC!
    It also comes with a plug but there is also much better as well! but started its going very well.

    How long have you use it?

    I had a Studio Mpc since December that I just sold me to take the Renaissance because the ergonomics of the 2500 I missed a little more sound card and much much more button on the Renaissance!

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    MPC1000/2500
    Many BAR otherwise.

    What is the particular feature you like best and least?

    Bin Frankly I love MPC but always with a screen more aware of luxury in luxury.
    The ability to open plug in the sequencer on how to create MPC

    Cons:
    Weight, form, I would have told you that the software bug but would be lying! knows much more stable with 1.3 and akai already announced 1.4!

    How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    Very good value for money.
    Without hesitation I can take directly instead of rebirth began with the Studio :)

    Here is a Akai MPC Renaissance!

    My Renaissance

    For all characteristics I refer you to the site AKAI

    The general configuration is simple.
    The usual functions are easily accessible, some keys have a dual function (indicated in red on the mpc) to access it you have to press shift at the same time to the desired function
    The manual is poor and empty ... But the net is full of good tutorial and once the logic of the beast's lies are more composed.

REN is a sampler and it must sound neutral after the treatments are applied to samples that provide heat or otherwise will give her cold.
    Effects included in the MPC are effective and sufficient. Icing on the cake can even use our usual vst Congratulations on this full Akai.
    Reaction velocity with aftertouch etc. Nothing to say ... This is an MPC!

    I use it for one month and a half. The feature I like the most: the perfect integration into my DAW (cubase). The one I like least: not able to use the beast without a PC.
    I tried the mpc 500 portable machine on his side I liked. the Ren is a solid machine, well built and has the attention of Akai (updates software and drivers many tutorial ...) its price is high but justified, with the experience I would do this choice probably . I recommend the REN once tasted you can not go without, gain speed work and feeling mpc ...

    See technical details of the machine on the net.La connection is the same as his sisters recent (mpc 5000, 2500 is ......).

    I find effective for certain effects (decimator, vca comp, vintage, mpc 3000 low pass filter is a treat .......). Anyway I use much effects on mpc renaissance that I did it on the 5000, I find them much more "musical" of the Renaissance.

    Supplied with the machine a lot of drums kits of all styles and really quality I think.
    Akai vst's are not bad but it's not a Spectrasonics Omnisphere ....... I not just using.
    It goes without saying that all sounds are editable.

    It goes without saying that all sounds are editable.

    Who knows how the mpc not need manual, except perhaps for the new features, but those above are easy to understand with a little practice.

    It is a pleasure to light and composer / sampler above, I find the hardware real quality, beautiful design and solid (mixture of MPC 60/3000).

    The app is obviously very young and therefore still room for improvement, but I've never had to worry about major sofware, 2 or 3 crashes because of vst that have been resolved with the latest update.
    I find it much more inspiring than the 5000 I sold everything is clearer, faster to make a truly intuitive workflow productivity.

    This is a sampler, thus you make it sound!
    I think she has a certain heat output, the sound is not as cold as the 5000 I think.

    The vintage fashion of the moment is more gimmick than anything else I find no real difference with and without, apart mpc mode 60 which is the most obvious to the ear.

    I use it for almost 2 months and I do not regret my purchase, nor have sold 5000.
    Some said that work with mpc it was back to the middle ages face ableton live, cubase, reason bein ..... the mpc is the future!

    I had the 3000 and 5000, 2500se tried, and for me this is really the best of all to all the views!

    What I like most: sound, design, interface, ease of doing anything groover

    What I like least: the immaturity of the software, some minor beugs from time to time.

    I find the fair price for the machine it is and I would do this choice without hesitation!

    PS: I do not have shares in akai.
