It’s great they are still updating the line instead drop it in the wild and forget (usual nurkai way) so it seems they are working hard to recover the legend.
yes, the autosampler freaking major on a stand alone beatmachine, sam cooks voice, etta James , Eartha kitt.... synths all quick and easy
crazy part is that they've committed to a lot more updates than what they've already done. some people are already satisfied but for me after this I can't wait for a good side chain, the multitimbrality, for the clip mode revamping, and sample start/end automation,
but they've got more than that on the way... crazy is an understatement
I like what maschine can do, but because of what it can't do I sold mine with no regrets. This competition is very good though and might make native instruments come back to the table with something substantial and that would be great
Maybe they see it more as instrument than DAW. Btw NS2 should be around the corner too...
how could I forget they already committed to disk streaming!!!, that's gonna be nuts cause everybody's got an ssd inside.........
NS2 and Loopy Masterpiece... white whales, myths, true legends..... these are good times
I'm going to spend the week end sampling keyscape, my eyes are getting teary
Dang, mpc live gets sexier every update. Still too big for me I think, I’m more interested in the OP-Z with them step components
it is too big, even though it's still quite portable but there is no reason why it couldn't be the size of the akai mpx
Yeah with stand-alones I’m looking for a size I can toss in my bag with laptop and interface and such.
Difficult to say for sure for two reasons.
I can’t make a side-by-side comparison, so scientifically I’m hamstrung, but IIRC the reverb on the Digitakt seemed better than that of the Octatrack...HOWEVER...I’m still in the very early days with the Octa and find that if I inadvertently layer effects then I’m not getting a true representation of that effect on its own. My early judgement, therefore, isn’t worth trusting due to my lack of experience.
I’m not an audiophile; I am of the opinion that subtle differences of (ultimately subjective) quality aren’t worth worrying about and that we will end up colouring the final output anyway, either with effects or a final mastering stage in a DAW of choice. Yes, you have to start with the best possible sound to then hope to have a great finished mix, but the Digitakt and the Octatrack are both more than capable of sounding really good, when used correctly, ie skilful use of effects, track volume mix/balance and, importantly, sample choice.
The reason that I like the Octatrack much much more than the Digitakt is that it could be a box I’ll never fully figure out, but I’ll have a lot of satisfying days and nights trying to do so. Whereas the Digitakt, even though we had fun together, seemed shallower and lacked features, such as the scenes crossfader on the Octatrack, which is just a lever into another sonic dimension. Honestly, I can’t state this enough, it’s like hyperspacing away from the surface of one sound towards somewhere you’re not really too sure about. Then you can load another scene onto the opposite end of the hyperspace lever and repeat the process, until you’re so far away from the original sound, but in a creative and thoroughly satisfying way to render the journey worthwhile. And this is only one of the Octatrack’s many tricks. I never had this much fun ever with the Digitakt.
And, like I said, when I start sampling from my iPad then God only knows where this will lead to.
Best of luck in your search, but you would definitely enjoy the Octatrack. If you got one and ultimately thought it too much effort and not the instant gratification you may be looking for then their resale value is good, anyway. You could move it on and get something else and not lose too much on the deal.
Lastly, do not be put off by those who say it’s too complex and frustrating, or it sounds poor compared to ‘X’...because it’s not, it’s worth the investment of time and sounds fantastic, at least to me. It’s better than I could ever have imagined.
I think it's one of those instruments that you just have to try for yourself/myself, thank you for your insight noodldoodl, I keep trying to get out of it
do the kids still say 'dope'
Mpclive all the way!
The virtual bass instrument is badass on it
Which model MPC is this available on?
Thanks
MPC Live is the cheapest model, there is also MPC x, MPC Live is in your 'poly synth' price range..
There is an update to mpc software as well, which mpc touch uses. Its near identical to live, but is just a controller, not standalone box
This is very true !
