ITS NOT A NEW MPC X ITS A FUCKING SPECIALLY EDITION!!! Idk why that’s soooo hard for y’all to understand??!!!?? It’s the same X with a retro color and more memory!! Who should get??? People who want the X in the retro color and feel the need the extra RAM and Rom to run Akai’s plug ins smoother… THATS IT!! Y’all non Akai MPC users act like y’all have never witnessed a special edition… Maschine released like 3 different colors and all kind of special editions of their Stuff. Akai released the red special color Live II… we’ve seen special before idk why everyone acting brand new. It’s now the X mkII !!!

Paid cash for mine and I am loving it don't like any of the options you mentioned. Next time buy one use it and then let us know what you really think from experience. Your comments will better serve the current MPC X owners. In my case an MPC Live II owner great purchase, saying this from experience, I actually own the MPC X SE.

We all forgot about that MPC Live II Beatclub Edition huh? It was literally the same MPC Live 2 with a different Splash Screen

I bought my first mpc in 04 for $1k and purchased my SE in 24 for $2.4k. Adjusted, the new MPC X would have been the equivalent to spending $1440 in 2004.

I went from the MPC Renaissance to the MPC X SE...best investment I've ever made, as far as the abilities that I can do now, I go all the way back starting with the Casio RZ 1 to the TR-808, even being around the Synclavier 2, to the Sp-1200, MPC 60 2, Ensoniq 16 plus, ASR 10, Roland W-30, MPC 3000 on up, I can keep going! I have no complaint about this board! Through experience I know how to utilize analog and digital, so I appreciate the upgrades through years of working! Respect!!!

I like mine. Happy I purchased.
Like the retro better than the red on the OG X
If money ain’t a issue and you want a few more gigs Get it.

The major thing for me is that the MPC just feels more organic. Not having to do all this clicking and dragging using a computer program. Having to make the sound slide into place and using slots.

Just let me use my hands to make beats naturally.

Great point for those who already own the MPC X I never did so I can't wait to receive mine. I am tracking the USPS every minute last I checked mine departed Milan have no idea why it was in Milan.

[randybriseno]

Really appreciate how simple you made this, mfs ah make videos for 20 minutes saying what you said in under 5 lol

If you ain’t got the money, don’t buy it, If you got the money to spare, live every day as if it was your last..

[adamfreiholtz]

I definitely hear what you’re saying but to replace the MPC X SE with Ableton and push is a horrible suggestion for somebody whos already used to the MPC work flow and feel, if you ask me. It’s completely different experiences. If you had said buy the old MPC X and add a flash card and buy a few MPC plugins or the MPC live or MPC One, it would make more sense. Ableton is an amazing daw but the most disgusting and uninspiring daw to look at. It could make sense for somebody who never used an MPC before though.

[schellez]

Same!!!
The upgrade from the mpc X to the SE is a blinder!

[OscarSlapp]

I don't think it's laziness on the part of these companies.I think it's greed.They know they only have to pacify us and we will bite.

[sirgigolo]

Right on. Really the only thing they did was add more ram. The storage is moot. Most MPC users have the instruments already

[DjcHuCkNiCe]

People don't understand what they can do with $2500. Don't spend that much money unless you're making money making beats or production. If you're a beginner or just a hobbyist, save your money

[andraemoore]

I agree 100%, I think the MPC X is the way to go for the price tag if you need something bigger, I’ve had my MPC one for 3 years and the only upgrades I need are sounds. Everything else is just an expensive upgrade. At the end of the day they all do just about the same thing but you can never have too many sounds and samples. I have been pricing a MPC X so if I do anything that will be my next purchase.

Just subb by the way! Keep sharing! 👊🏾

[hernanvergara]

Thanks for the video. I just bought a second hand MPC live 1. In US dollars it works out about $335. Cheers

[mont-doggBeats]

Do you own an Mpc. New or old. Or have you owned an Mpc, New or old? What in your opinion would make a future Mpc worthy to purchase. Some people don’t want a computer based /centric Setup . What is your suggestion or your advice for us ? Respectfully
