It packs a lot of features and workflow tools into ONE powerful punch.

So for me this was the best investment.MPC One is a total music production solution to take your ideas from concept to finalized radio-ready beats. You can get the Ableton Push 2 with Live 11 Suite but for the same price but you also need a laptop. The midi input and cv gates will take care of your external synths and modular gears.įor the same price you wont get a full standalone DAW experience. But once you learn that workflow the possibilities become endless with this machine. If you are not familiar with the MPC flow it might take sometime getting used to since it is not linear like in most DAWs. to record, sample or use this as a looper. You can get an ART preamp and use your mic/guitar etc.

It doesn't seem to accept any soundcards as of now(maybe future updates will solve that),so you are limited to two line inputs. The pads are smaller than you would expect but are nice and responsive(you can change the setting according to your wish). I recently got it from amazon since it wasn't available here in Bajaao. Most of you buying this are either familiar with the legacy of MPC or just want an all in one standalone music production hardware solution.
