Akai Pro’s MPC Renaissance
I may not be at liberty to say any more than stating the obvious so, for now, all I’ll say is…
It’s coming!

Shouts:
- Sean C. (aka Citizen Cane) for reaching out & “recruiting me”.
- Jonathan Hayes & Dan Gill for ALL of your help, conversations & generosity.
- Jack O’Donnell for seeing the vision & knowing exactly which steps to take to see it through & make it happen. You are the leader!
- Roger Linn for creating my buddy Raw Dawg… I’ll forever be grateful.
- Q-Tip… One of my heroes ’til this day & beyond. I wouldn’t even be in the game or know how to do shit had it not been for Peoples’ Instinctive Travels & The Paths of Rhythm. Thanks for that one Chief.
With every mere mention of this album forces me to revisit it SO… *opens iTunes* - Oh & Shannon n’ Matt in shipping.
Post Script: And “yes”… That IS yours truly posing with the one & only Raw Dawg @ 1:05. Your eyes do not deceive you. 
So as more is revealed about this great piece of life changing equipment & the steps involved in creating it, I shall post more (insider’s) detail if I’m allowed to.
It’s bout time, seems like they finally outdid the 3000! Wonder what the $pricetag looks like.
It’s not a standalone hardware. It’s a controller with a built-in soundcard and “virtual MPC” computer software.
good to know that it’s still a stand alone unit…..I just wonder how you save things on it
I’m not sure but I think you just have to rechop/reprogram everything every single time you want to “pull up” a beat.
PSYCHE! Nah… I’m just f*ckin’ wit’cha.
Imagine that though?!?
