    "Go crazy with that one piece of equipment" - great advice. Back in the day, a home studio would probably only have a single sampler and a couple of synths and one or two FX units. There was no choice but to learn it inside out and use it as fully as possible. That got results as it was like learning to play an instrument. Now, a lot of people buy endless amounts of plugins that they only scratch the surface with on their way to the next plugin that will get them the "perfect sound"....

      This is facts. I caught myself doing that early on in my beat making, then it just got exhausting and I got tired of getting new plugins. At some point you have to put in work to create a different sound anyway.

Once this reaches my local music store I'll definitely try before I buy and I know I'm gonna buy.

    As soon as I saw the MPC61 announcement, I JUMPED on ordering one. I knew Akai was about it and it such a great sounding instrument, plus the workflow, design, it's big enough for me to feel comfortable but still small enough to feel comfortable carrying around. This machine does everything I want and in an intuitive way, I never have to fight it, it just simply works as an extension of myself even though I'm not very familiar with MPCs. It's the new crown of my studio.

    Bought 1 a few weeks ago. I love it. I will say,...that Being an avid user of the Mpc's touch screen functionality it would be well appreciated if when in "Sample Edit" mode you were able to quickly touch the screen and the Q-Link functionality followed. I feel the inclusion of this feature would be a real workflow improvement for those who choose to use the touch screen for inputting functions rather than clicking through the Q-LINK button to get to the same point. Want to edit sample start? easy touch sample start on the screen and waaa laaa the Q-Links are in place for that specific adjustment...want to edit sample end..simply tough sample end on the screen and q links follow without having to cycle the q link button and so on. Thanks hope this feature is considered.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

    3. No separate "Loop" button for each track in key seqence.

    I wish there was a way to map the envelopes of the adsr and cutoff/resonance/envelope of key group instruments to the Q-links- also wish they added key tracking for keygroups! Having each track with its own “sequence length” would’ve also been really great- for polyrhythms . But that might be a big re-design.

    Does anyone know offhand if you can load your own samples (like .wav) and map them to individual keys on the board and be played live, and then not lose those samples or have to reload them upon next powerup? I'm just getting through the ads and email notifications about this new synth, but just wanted to see if anyone knew my ask. I'm a bass player that uses Studiologic MID pedals to trigger certain samples, but with a Korg Triton Le76 I had, you had to keep reloading the samples I wanted to use etc. I currently have a Juno DS76 and it handles playing samples better than the Korg did, but not really looking to spend 4-5k on aboard. Hope I'm making sense lol.

    great looking and it sounds superb but the thing which will make or break it is the keybed..if its just one of there bog standard keybeds then itll be hard to justify the high price there asking..
    ive got a the advance61 and that was ok to start with but after awhile it became a squeaky/clacky keybed so i bought a komplete kontrol mk2 instead which has a much better keybed.

      i traded in my fantom 8 for this today and the keys are semi-weighted. they feel like my prophet 10 keybed if that helps.

    I just want to know if it is compatible as a controller with Ableton and other DAWs.

      Yes you can load the companion MPC DAW as a plugin and then from there have access to all of Key 61s functions inside any DAW.
