RE: Akai MPC-3000 Wave File Sample Set

in #music • 18 days ago

I am told the S2800 rack-mounted unit is very much comparable to the MPC3000, and costs a couple hundred bucks at most.
Any experience or thoughts?

The S2800 sounds close enough since it is the same generation of Akai converters, but without the pads and the MPC sequencer it is a totally different way of working.

My thoughts with those things are that you could use another sequencer and pads.
Pads could be a MIDI controller, and the sequencer could even be software.
Granted, I don't have time on the real deal so maybe the workflow is super-convenient.
Teenage Engineering make the OP-1, and it's a super-hyped mobile hardware DAW basically, but I always assume the reality of using it is nowhere near the hyper.
I could be wrong.
