Unbeatable for the price

Pros:

Standalone, compact ,many buttons plus touchscreen, responsive pads ,nice synth engine , sampler . superb integration with the software .

Cons:

-Can’t record audio to clip and loop (like force, or push 2). As a workaround you can use the looper ,but can’t “explode” overdubs to separate clips

-No pitch envelope (for real?)

-No loop end point (it’s tied to sample’s end)

-No loop or sample’s start/end point modulation

-No portamento

-No disk streaming (forget long tracks)

-Bugs on current 2.8.1 firmware

-Terrible content browser

-SD card not showing on PC

Overall ,it’s great piece of gear ,already knew the current limitations (you can download the free MPC Beats software to get an idea, or demo the MPC Software but on hardware navigation is way easier) , hopefully the current bugs would be fixed soon.

FIRST ATTEMPT AT MPC WORLD

This has been my first attempt to learn how to deal with the MPC world, this product is excellent : soundwise, build is quite sturdy, the learning curve is a bit steep if you are coming from Ableton because things are done in a different way...but I am absolutely loving

Ah and it has the same software as the MPC ilive, no hard drive option or battery but you can avoid the hurdle with a cheap SD card and a nearby socket.

It is definitely a keeper !!! your beats will sound different and so will your sample mashups !

Os lo recomiendo 100 por cien despues de empaparos de uno buenos tutoriales para la MPC One o la Live.
