I admit that I stopped paying attention to this soon after it was revealed, but I don't see what this is offering you that you can't find elsewhere. Tl dr, I'm pretty sure I want an MPC Touch but there are hardly any reviews out there so I'd like some affirmation that I'm making the right choice. These are attractive and very full-featured, with outstanding on board sounds in many cases. Cool device nonetheless.Īrranger keyboard - Ok, did the least amount of research here. And of course none of them have the sexy touchscreen, I can be a sucker for the latest and greatest.īeatstep Pro - Just don't think this has enough for my needs. They're also quite big (I mostly considered the 2500/4000/5000), and being out for many years now will eventually have problems. Standalone MPCs - Another tempting option but each model I've considered has it's limitations, some I just can't over come. Oh, and I'd have to buy Ableton, which makes the Push 2 an even bigger investment. Push 2 - I almost went with this, it's an inspiring piece of gear, but being a Cubase guy it would mean learning Ableton from scratch and not having simple compatibility with anything I've produced in the last 8 years. I know other recommendations will come about, but I did my research any here's my thoughts on the other devices I considered: Hopefully someone will corroborate that notion. The workflow is really attractive and I expect it to be a real game changer in the way I write and record music. I think for the price, features, and sounds it is a good value. Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of solid reviews out there on the Touch and I really want to hear from anyone's personal experience if they will share it. I'll try some sampling too, never really messed with that before, but watching MPC demos gave me lots of ideas. I'll use that to start building all of my tracks/patterns/phrases on the MPC, eventually recording them in Cubase for full development. It's also a very minimal package which I like for the amount of space I have.Īs stated, the primary use of the Touch for me would be as a MIDI sequencer for my synths, and as a drum machine since I don't have a good one yet. I also appreciate how quickly the Touch lets you get ideas out of your head, which would be invaluable for track building.
I've never used an MPC before but I really like the workflow I saw from watching a few tutorials. After a lot of reading, watching videos, and comparing various devices it would appear that the MPC Touch is the most ideal option. I am in the market for a multi-track sequencer and drum machine to be the "brain" of my setup.
