CloseThis MPC is an ABSOLUTE BEAST!
What does MPC stand for?? "MUSIC PRODUCTION CENTER," and that's exactly how you're gonna come to think of this all-in-one beast. No doubt you've heard of the MPC Series. The pads on these things are about as famous as pads can get... they feel great under your fingers and groove programmers rave about 'em. And with this MPC 5000, you get that epic feel on top of Akai Professional's most advanced set of MPC features EVER.The MPC 5000 is ripe for producing beats. Inside, you've got a 64-voice drum/phrase sampler with an UNBELIEVABLE set of samples built right in of course... and there's even a 20-voice, 3-oscilator Virtual Analog synthesizer and arpeggiator for really getting your grooves kicking (without the need for any buggy software or outboard gear slowing you down!!). In fact, there over 300 Virtual Analog synth presets, so you can get hit-worthy sounds without fussing over everything. But when you want to dive in and start tweaking, it's all here. There are TONS of effects inside. Hot ones too, with 4 FX buses and 2 FX per bus available, so you can really stack them in there.
But maybe the best part about the Akai Professional MPC 500 is its 8-track hard disk recorder. It's the first MPC ever to stream to hard disk like that, so this is definitely the solution for those of you who want to produce your whole song in the MPC. Of course, with an optional CD/DVD drive, you can burn an audio/data disc of your mix and take it on over to a DAW to work out the details. It's all good, right?
So if an all-in-one music-making MONSTER is on your radar, you've definitely come to the right place. Yes, you're looking at the king of the MPC Series... the series the BEST producers have been turning to since '88. That's right.
