Akai Professional MPC One Drum Machine - All-in-One Beat Production Solution

J S W: This is probably the best synth/sampler I have (I have too many maybe). I’m forever learning more and it’s kept me busy. Definitely better than Maschine.

Bruce DuchetBruce Duchet: Maquetter, trouver des idées et produire

Je souhaité du DAWless, j'ai hésité entre Maschine+ et AKAI, le prix ma fait choisir la MPC ONE et je en suis satisfait d'autant plus que sur internet certain lui reprochait de pas être facile a prendre en main, je doit dire que je n'ai rencontrer aucune difficulté, c'est un produit très accessible mais comme tout autre produit aussi complet il faut passé un peut de temps pour apprivoisé l'appareil , lire un peut la notice et chercher quelques tuto sur youtube. Je conseille les tutos de (Audiorial) très bien pour débuter et être vite opérationnel

PaulPaul: Ordered the Akai MPC One + as i always wanted a MPC.

Took me a little while to get around at 1st then i got in to it.
Nice screen is the best feature which is touch screen with the ability to use VST plugins & 3rd party.

I highly recommend the purchase of a SD card too.
SDHC or SDXC card will work just fine when downloading & installing VST plugins, projects & Samples.
I purchased a SDXC SanDisk 128GB Extreme.

The internal storage is 16gb where half is used for the system & everything else.
Overall great standalone groove box that does it all.

Hope this helps.

Amazon Kunde: Es gibt musikalisch gesehen nichts, was man nicht damit machen könnte. Man spielt eigene drums, bässe oder Melodien entweder mit den Pads, mit einem Midi Keyboard der per USB oder Bluetooth verbunden wird ein, oder eben beides, man nimmt Gesänge auf, man kann die Produktionen abmischen und mastern, Samples aus externer Quelle aufnehmen, neu zusammenschneiden oder mit den Pads choppen, man kann zahlreiche Effekte auf die einzelnen Spuren packen und mit den Reglern regulieren und vieles mehr. Und das alles nicht in einem Gerät ohne Computer. Man kann praktisch ein ganzes Musikstudio unter seinen Armen halten.

Adam Christopher: I've been making music primarily on PC for at least two decades, mostly using Renoise as my DAW. Towards the end of March of this year, I decided to go ahead and get an MPC One in hopes to spice up my recording artistry. I bought the unit before Akai raised the retail price a hundred dollars. The new price is still totally worth it though. Especially after their massive 2.10 system upgrade which packs the MPC One with even more Synth and Effect plugins to choose from.

The learning process has been super easy. What I quickly found out, is that when you become an owner of an Akai MPC, you're instantly accepted into the worldwide club of MPC enthusiasts...kind of like the phenomenon of owning a Harley or Corvette, all of a sudden you're 'in' and everyone is happy to help you out. The MPC enthusiasts make tons of helpful tutorial and tips videos on YouTube, and not only that, any of the videos that apply to the workflow of the X and Live models will also apply to learning the One as the One packs the same exact features as far as production workflow. So between the countless MPC One, X, and Live tutorial videos, you'll be able to find plenty of great teachers free of charge....

haitiman: The Akai MPC ONE is a well built beat machine. If I had to rate it overall using digits, I would give it a 3.8. I will break it into good and bad.

GOOD:
1. This AKAI MPC One feel pretty well made. For a small device, if feels beefy. Knobs and pads feel quality.

2. It doesn't have a battery, but portability is a non issue. There are tons of compact portable batteries you can buy to connect this thing and make it work pretty much anywhere.

3. Touchscreen is nice and vibrant. You'll have no trouble seeing the screen.

4. Good amount of inputs and outputs to connect external midi, usb midi, turntable, mic, and cv dependent synths.

5. It has no internal hard drive, but an SD card slot that can use cards up to terabyte makes it a non issue.

6. Decent number of ways to work your way around through menus. You can use pads, screen, or shift pad combinations.

7. Familiar MPC workflow.

8. Compatible with various compact USB keyboard board brands.

9. Device doubles as an audio interface when connected to a computer.

BAD:
1. The synths and sound library included with are pretty skimpy. You will need to get more...
