Yo for really technical characteristics, both refer to the site www.akaipro.com
I'd just found on the MPC in Jack 2 audio inputs that allow sampling 6.35, and 2
6.35 jack outputs and also 2 MIDI In and 2 midi out. This is the minimum connection need

optional ... When we see that we only had a floppy drive as a storage medium, at a price
MPC or listen, they say the Meerca Akai ..!
UTILIZATION
The manual is clear, features are clearly listed, it quickly takes his ease on board the
MPC offers a very simple work plan, all functions are listed on the keypad
Digital, simply select them. What I personally find cool is that the MPC does not
fuss when it comes to rework or load a sound during playback. Small clarification: the book Akai MPC
with 2 MB of RAM, which means that one is quickly limited in terms of storage, the addition of at least 16
Mo is vital: Akai thank you.
Ah, it must be said that some time is needed before being completely at ease in the edition of
sequence ...
Regarding the general configuration all depends on the mode of use, I will not speak of what
I know: no problem to recognize a storage device like a Zip or hard drive. The
Manager SCSI chain is simple.
Also no problem to make it recognize and communicate with my little Midi Apple iMac 400DV
(Which I use to edit my movie with a better visual comfort), but the manipulation request anyway
some notions and especially a good computer setup, software sequencer (in my case
Cubase) but otherwise nothing very complicated
SOUNDS
In terms of sound, nothing to say since the purpose of a sampler is to have its own bank of sounds ..!
You still have to say that Aker provided a CD with samples, many of course, but where is the interest
because the MPC does not have CD: AKAI THANKS!
Personally it took me some time to find the right way to get the desired quality in
sampling was still a 16 bit sample, and the option to optimize the quality is rather a good point.
The MPC is right for me in my style of music, she is even famous for his "potato", more evidence
make that side.
The sound library comes with the MPC (the famous CD) contains samples of the MPC3000, the MPC60 and
well on a bank 2000XL, as a dry, gated, and ambient. Restitution is surprising and shows the
capabilities of the product is indeed what I decide not to sell it.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 6 months, it proves that it is easy to grip!
What I like in MPC is that you can do everything in perfect homogeneity, sampler, manage the
sequences and songs in a simple and clear, and watch the result live.
What I do not like, I've already alluded to, or is q'au price it costs, the MPC comes naked Me

unhappy with my 2 mega memory (which is 10 seconds of sample), one hand was not
recorded onto a disk, and others share that all my sound disappeared as soon as I turned off my
Akai MPC ... Thanks! Value for money, I think it's clear that at least a means of safeguarding
Therefore what we're not pigeons!
Before my MPC, I worked with software, I always use elsewhere. We can do it with little
until we are satisfied, but for me it's true that the MPC is a full work mode, and without the
disadvantages of some configurations more or less expensive.
