Published on 08/12/11 at 09:20The Mpc 5000 is the hands down best sequencer and drum application yet. If you are new to the MPC this piece of equipment will look like a spaceship to you at first. You will definitely need to pull out that manual and start reading. The manual is very clear and easy to navigate, but it will still take you some time to get to know the flow of the MPC.
UTILIZATION
If you aren’t new to the MPC models you will dive right in and start going to work. A lot of similarities with this MPC and previous models. This one just stands out a little more than the 4000. Mainly because of the upgraded operating system. The MPC 5000 has enough midi ins and outs along with audio ins and outs to power and be the main center point of your studio. I have used the MPC 5000 as the brain of my whole setup. You can edit midi notes with a breeze, and the sequencing on the MPC 5000 is as good as it gets. The sequencing is basically automated, you can do it in all time including swing.
SOUNDS
The MPC5000 has a synth creator similar to what the 4000 has, so if you don’t have any synths in your setup the MPC 5000 will help you with that too. The MPC 5000 has a great sample rate and that nice good clean sound. You can mix your whole song right on the MPC screen if you wish. It will be a tough task though, especially if you are use to doing it on software. You can control the pad sensitivy as well.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall the MPC 5000 is the way to go, it’s a bit pricey but its worth it. Sounds great and it is a powerhouse. It’s a must have if you are a hip hop sampler/ producer.
