Akai Professional MPC Touch | Music Production Station with 7" Multi-Color Touchscreen

If you are going to buy this new, don't waste your money. Isn't worth the price at that price, almost all instruments are overpriced. If you get this used for $380 or less, do it.Edit: 3/2/2020 It is a great product. The MPC one and this are practically the same. If I had a choice of a "New" product, I would pick the MPC One BUT if money is tight, this is THE BEST way to get into MPC's. I learned a LOT being a first time music maker/instrument user/midi etc I have NEVER done anything with music up until this year. Turned 30 and said "I'm TIRED of listening to these trash A** BEATS!!!" so I bought a Komplete Kontrol M32 Keyboard, a DeepMind 6 and an MPC Touch. Haven't used the DM6 yet but OMG I am already a legend in my mind with this MPC and the KK M32.

My first mpc. I usually go with my mpk mini midi keyboard using Fl Studio as my DAW. THIS machine cut my work time into a fraction of the time and the sounds included through the expansion packs are robust and beautiful. I'm glad I bought it.

The unit is defective. i have since sent it back to the manufacturer but now i realise that I shouldnt have done that because its going to take weeks before I can get the unit replaced and I had to pay $80 to send it back.This has been a nightmare. I think I would have been better off buying the unit from the store.Im very dissapointed.

ITs okay, no SideChain compression but it has the classic MPC feel and then some. the lack of side chain ability kills my work flow though InMusic is awesome, my initial MPC stopped working and InMusic worked with me and AKAI to get a new one shipped out ASAP

1 year ago I brought an Akai MPD218. Now I own Akai Touch. Wow...What a difference. U can feel the release of tension leave ur body as u create more freely.

The product had too many hardware/software bugs to be stable.To be fair this product is ahead of its time and is very easy and fun to use. Me and my kids had a blast making,mixing and chopping up songs. However it did have a few bugs that made me return it.1. The video drivers did not work well with my mac. I had to battle with the device to make it work with my multiple monitor setup. Keep in mind that this manual configuration was *NOT a one time thing. I had to do it each time I plugged the device in. The device did not remember or have the ability to save the configuration profile once properly configured. This got a not frustrating after 2-3 times. The device does not use a native touch screen rather it relies on your host display settings and can therefore cause issues with your current display configuration.2. MPC touch software was a bit buggy. Maybe version 2.0 will fix these bugs as well as making the software a true DAW.3. I really ***hope they release a version with a flip up display. Having the display dormant and flat means that you have to tweak your back, eyes and neck in order to use it. This is aweful and slows down my creative workflow. This is also not ergonomic so long mixing sessions will jave tou feeling beat up. This and the driver issues is the primary reason I returned it.4. I would also like to see an MPC Renaissance touch display.

Hands down the best piece of hardware I've ever purchased. The work flow is outstanding. I can connect my midi keyboards to my MPC and instantly start creating. Such a smart investment for real music producers, worth every penny.

I use this thing everyday, so easy and amazing.

操作ができるようになりました。マウスとパソ画面のにらめっこではなく、音に集中できる感じです。ほぼそのタッチパネルでできるため、本体のみで駆動してほしいくらいですが最近のMPCは基本パソコンベースです。長いコードにして他に置いてます。AKAIは最近studioも新しくなりましたが、ブラックボディ。今更感はありますが、黒ってなんだか気分もアガりますｗ私のように楽器弾けない、楽譜読めない、ちょっと音感も、、、って人でも本格的なメロディ制作ができます。サンプリングしなくても恐ろしく使いきれないほどの音源もあります。私は動画制作をしてるのでそのBGMに大活躍です。ちょっと趣味で始めるには高いですけど、とてもいいですよ。

I like this tool it's fun. But the samples and instrument sounds are locked with Ilock. You have to create an Ilock account to download and access. Takes alot of time to get set up plus if you want to sell it, it will be a long and hard process to transfer ownership with new key codes etc. May turn off potential buyers.

ソフトのインストールなどは面倒だったし、わかりづらい面もあったが、使い始めるとやはり楽しい。PCとの接続は賛否あるが、私はPCで制御するほうがやりやすいと思う。自分の好きな音を入れると俄然モチベーションが上がり、高価なおもちゃとして楽しめます。
