And since its software, updates can be provided all the way up to its release.and beyond.Ĭlick to expand.Rationalize it however you like, doesn't change the reality that it is.
#Beat thang best buy software
There are actually a few additions/enhancements to the MPC Ren's software based upon MPC user feedback. But I can't see anything negative in improving the design of the MPC Ren's pads.or making the buttons more robust because of feedback from MPC users. In the context of your post, it seems as if you are implying something negative. I suspect the same for the MPC Ren.Īs far as the feature set.Akai developers announced additions/enhancements to the feature set. To the best of my knowledge, all previous MPCs announced after Winter Namm showed up in stores in the Summer or early Fall. Akai has videos/s on the first page of their website. Akai announced it will be available this Summer (where did you see the reported change?).
Two different MPC Ren prototypes were displayed.and actual forum members here got to play with it. The MPC Ren.on the other hand was on display at Namm. In fact, Roger Linn publically announced in Oct that it IS NOT coming soon. No one has seen or touched the prototype. The Linn Drum II has been nothing but a sketch on piece of paper. maybe cause it's the beat thang people are just turned off but if that **** was made by livid, or anybody else the nerds would be gnashing at the teeth to program their own way with it.Ĭlick to expand.Let me help you out here. they do all of that monome, livid ****, take xboxs apart and turn them into mpcs and all kinds of **** but here you have a dope piece of kit in the shell just waiting for somebody to put a great brain inside it and noone is doing it.Įven peter kirn over at create digital music only gave it a cursory glance. I loved the pitch stick on it, it really is a great concept but they didn't do right on the inside, I've been waiting for the nerdy diy types to fix that damn operating system or turn it into a new dope os but so far they haven't gravitated towards it yet and I have no idea why. I tried to ask them about the chip inside to see if I could replace it with something stronger but I got no feedback or info from them so I took it back to best buy. it does not pack the punch of a dedicated hardware machine, it acts like a laptop under load when you give it too much and a weak laptop at that because I did to anything to complex with it so I was very dissappointed at that. after I had about 6 tracks sequenced it would start to buckle and get woozy, the sequencer would start to drag, you can even see it happen in some of ajas videos. the fx made me so pissed I stopped using them and just wrote it off like they didn't exist, as far as throwing a beat together with the included sound library it's way to easy but it stops there.Īnother thing that really bothered me is that basically it's a laptop stuffed in an asrx looking shell, this made it easy for them to offer great things like all the great ports and stuff, and it's cool that you can adjust the ppq to whatever you want, the problem is that like a laptop and unlike any other dedicated hardware it wasn't stable at all. The whole experience of the sampling process leaves a whole lot to be desired, they need to go into a different direction, just change the steps around, cut some out all together. I've owned the asrx and asrx-turbo in the past and I loved them to death for putting an asr10 which I also love in a box and the beat thangs looks give me fond memories, of course the beat thang has nothing like transwave multiply whatso ever but anyway, I made allot of dope beats with it, but not really as a sampler more as a drummachine.
I'll be honest and say I was really hoping the best for it, people have been hating on it for so long for it's name sake alone but I don't care about none of that.
