4Pricey piece of Greatness  Aug 24, 2010 By P. Spencer "EYES IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD"
Imagine having a synthesizer added to your MPC (assuming you have used a MPC before). Same capabilities as the previous models, but my favorite addition is the arpeggio function. When a MIDI keyboard is hooked up you can play out chords and press the arpeggiator button instead of just holding down the note-repeat button. I actually ordered and installed different color pads to give my MPC that customized-look. The internal hard drive is loaded with more than enough soundsets. The ability to chop and edit samples has been simplified with a few auto options. It also has a built in multitrack recorder (which I have yet to mess with), but seems easily accessible at the click of a button. I save my sounds on the internal hard drive and back them up on computer via USB port built on the back of the unit. The option to save and/or load is available for both Compact Flash cards and internal hard drive. Optional DVD Drive can be installed, too...this made my beat CD creation a cinch. The internal ROM is loaded with basic drum sets and synth presets. Make sure you update the Operating System for I heard the original OS was "buggy" (unstable). Like I mentioned in my title...the MPC5000 is quite pricey, but the power of this machine is unrivaled.

5M.P.C. More Power Coming!  Dec 07, 2011 By Robert Mitchell "Rob Mitchell"
You say you want beats? You say you want crazy synths? Then the MPC 5000 is definitely the studio in a box you have been looking for. I love this monster of a machine. It's built very sturdy and of great quality. You look at it and it just calls out for your creative juices! It also has a fun learning curve in my opinion. It thrives in compatibility with your PC or Mac. And integrates seemlessly with most DAW and software programs. It could have been equipped with a little more memory but the upgrade is also very reasonable on Amazon. So I still give it 5 stars. If you love producing and creating your own music, then the MPC 5000 will give you that power. It's completely hands on for those who like to immerse themselves into their instrument. It actually makes you the instrument in a way? Because the MPC is only as great as the person using it! If you are great, then it is great! And vise versa! Either way, you will love finding yourself with this baby! It is so cool when you become one with it. Akai is a big part of my musical arsenal and a trusted name with me. I would recommend this puppy for anyone who considers themselves a true producer of music. It is a beat making mad scientist at work, trust me!!!
