Our modern project studios are a tangle of peripherals: a laptop and DAW, audio interface and mixer, MIDI and CV interfaces, MIDI input devices, control surfaces and monitoring controllers. Rather the latest MPCs represent a new approach, or maybe the renaissance of an older one.

It’s not so much that the MPC platform itself has gone through a revolutionary change, in fact its core workflow has stayed largely the same. In my April SOS review I said the MPC Live was a breakthrough device I may even have allowed one ‘game-changer’ to slip through the marketing-speak filter. Could the MPCX make you rethink your whole approach to studio and live music production?
