"With a slightly dubious paint job, this MPC has been upgraded to the extreme, with phat pads, solid state storage and some extra shiny hardware. It comes preloaded with some samples to get you going, and it works great. This one was serviced in house and is ready to go."

Bad Gear - FORCE in 2026???

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There are electronic musical instruments with a clear purpose: analog synths deliver classic tones and social media swag, plugins and workstations are great tools if you actually want to make money and Eurorack is still a healthier form of escapism than buying pills at a gas station.

Today, however, we are going to talk about The Force. The mission of this unholy 2019 lovechild of an MPC and Ableton incarnate was nebulous from the beginning and since then the machine was so profoundly transformed by a slow yet steady stream of updates that it is hard to tell whether it is still worth using it in 2026 - or if it ever was."

AIR Music Tech & Akai Professional Introduce Fabric Vintage Synths Vol. 1

video upload by AIR Music Tech

"Three legendary analog synths. One modern synthesis environment. https://inmusic.to/2p977r6r

From lush pads to punchy basses and soaring leads, Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 channels the sonic character of three iconic hardware synthesizers, bringing new creative inspiration to your MPC or DAW-based workflow.

Inspired by three of the most influential analog polysynths ever created, this collection includes the Fabric Vintage Pro, Fabric Vintage Jup, and Fabric Vintage Memorymoog. Each instrument in this collection captures the sonic DNA of cherished 1970s and 1980s polyphonic synthesizers and places it inside a powerful, modern instrument designed for how producers, composers, and synthesists work today.

These instruments have been reimagined through the AIR Advanced Multi-Sample Synthesis Fabric Engine for flexible, intuitive music-making. This shared engine allows each synth to retain its unique identity while benefiting from a common, modern workflow across MPC hardware and desktop DAWs."

Akai MPC Sample Song Mode Demo: Nu-Jazz Funk with Your Old Pal Keith

video upload by Keith Crosley

"The Akai MPC Sample is a whole lot of fun, in a very portable package. But it's so addictive, I haven't had the time to do a proper review. (Also, I don't think such a review is fair until the release of the next firmware update.) SO... Here, we leverage my ginormous sample library of vintage beats, ephemeral film soundtracks, and even some weird symphonic arcs to realize a little track about "Precision-Controlled Pleasure". Grab your rhythm stick and get ready to kick it old-school San Francisco chillout style with this abbreviated MPC-A-GO-GO episode of your favorite (non)talky synthesizer content show!"
