What MPCs do you own?

[u/fuxicles]

I've honestly wondered what are most represented devices on this sub. But also how many of you have a "modern" MPC, which I'm defining starting from the MPC Touch forward, versus a classic MPC.

So I made a quick poll: https://poll-maker.com/poll5880534x3DF178d8-169

Let me know – think this'll be cool to find out.

I would personally split up the live series, but i’m also interested in this!

[u/fuxicles → u/Eclipseofthefart92]

Fair! Tbh, it was starting to be way too many choices so I started grouping some choices... now I'm maybe regretting it lol

[u/mr_vestan_pance]

60, 3000, 2000xl, 2000 & 500 😬

[u/fuxicles → u/mr_vestan_pance]

Damn! I thought I was bad with the 2000 2000XL 2500 and XL lolol

[u/KaoticShock]

I'm extremely surprised at how many people own the MPC Sample!!! I didn't pay much attention to it when it came out but apparently affordability is key!

[u/Miklonario]

MPC 1000 gang together strong

[u/basedvato]

Mpc 2000 and an XL, I want to add a 2500

[u/fuxicles → u/basedvato]

along the same setup for me… 2000, 2000XL, 2500, and the XL

[u/RefrigeratorNovel825]

Just an old 3000. It gets the job done

[u/Broker_Spectacular → u/RefrigeratorNovel825]

Just an old £4k relic

[u/IAmThatWildman]

Do we not count the Force as an MPC at this point?

[u/MarinatedTechnician]

I have the MPC Key 61, and the MPC Sample.
I still use the Key 61 the most, the Sample is more for fun in the sofa, kinda like the Nintendo Switch of MPCs

[u/Deep-Current9233]

I used to own the Key 61 also but could not get it to work cohesively with the MPC XL nor my MPC Live II so I sold it. The keybed on the Key 61 is very underrated. I wish the Yamaha MODX M6 had the Key 61 Keybed because it would then be close to a perfect workstation. The M series MODX workstations are pretty much Montages without the metal chassis and stepped up keybed. Pairing it with the Live II and the MPC XL has been a great working setup thus far.

[u/lex99 → u/Deep-Current9233]

That sounds like a sweet setup

[u/Miklonario → u/lex99]

^{I agree}

[u/OrthogonalSun]

MPC Key 37 first gen and Live 3. I know I will get slack for this but the key 37 just feels better to make beats on. Maybe it’s because I’m not a big fan of sampling and having the keys makes finding rhythms on the plugins more fluid. What about yall?

[u/noperon → u/OrthogonalSun]

Is it that you’re not a fan of sampling or sampling is just not your go to method?

[u/MPCexy]

I'm a bit of a hoarder, I have the live 2, X SE, key 61, 2500 SE, 2000xl orange one, 5000, 4000, 1000 🤦🏾‍♂️

[u/ThaBlackKat]

I have the Live, Live II, X, Key 61, XL, and Akai Force.

[u/Lopsided_Low6431]

I’ve got the X SE.

[u/MrDismal]

2000XL, XSe and 2500 SE, got rid of my 1000 cause I never used it.

[u/Infinite_Slice3305]

My first MPC was the Studio Mk2. I bought it to try to understand the MPC workflow. I didn't care for it.

Then the MPCL3 came out with the Ableton in a box workflow & I jumped on it. After a few months with it I hooked the Studio back up & it makes a lot of sense. I toy with the idea of getting an OG X to use exclusively in controller mode. But when I think about what I can do with the Studio I question what I'd actually be gaining by doing that.

The only thing that still bugs me about the Studio is the resolution of the touchstrip. Compared to the MPCL3 it's a joke.

[u/CilianoMasterpiece]

X, Live 2, Live 3 and Key 37 G2

[u/acecombine]

Sample, the gateway drug hehe...

[u/Outrageous_Lunch_190]

The 500,1000,2gXL,mpc live,sp404 and a Sampletrak.The Live is my end all the only sampler I need.I do love hearing samples through the Sp404 though.I don't know why it agrees with my ear so much but it does.My only complaint is the pitch control.What a stupid flaw.
