You get the classic MPC swing templates, multiple layering (ie, putting 3 kicks into one pad), tune, pitch and volume control of the pads, filtering, helping expand your production pretty well. You can open it up as an instance inside any DAW but you can run it as a multiple plug-in. The Essentials software is what enables the device to give it an ‘MPC feel’. The software is pretty convenient for live performances, depending on how familiar you are with the current software you use - it’s only a plus. It comes with Akai’s own music software, called the MPC Essentials, but I don’t use it all (I’m more of an Acid Pro kind of guy). I absolutely love these pressure pads, something about jamming on them makes me feel like an almost-real drummer, but with more of a street feel. The only ‘MPC’ thing about it is merely the name and the incorporation of Akai’s trademarked pads (unless you’re using their software, which we speak about below). This is a standard MIDI controller but with a drum pad integration as opposed to keys, a nice supplementation to your MIDI keyboard if it doesn’t have pads already. Very convenient not having to lug around a power adapter. Review of the Akai Pro MPC Element The MPC Element is powered by USB. Here is a detailed overview and review of the Akai MPC Element. This gives it the ultimate customization, not restricting you to uploading particular sounds into the MPC in order to choose what comes out of it, which many nowadays would consider a hastle. These sounds are controlled entirely by your computer, depending on the VST or software you’re using. I’m a huge fan of these and always will be - both for live performances, recording, as well as just messing around and jamming with a drum kit I like. What’s most notable of this is the pads with pressure and velocity, for those who like the natural swing and feel of pressing those buttons for drums or other sounds. It gives you the beat and song creation capability of it’s famous and well-known MPC drum machines into your computer. The MPC Element is a very small in size (only about 2 lbs!) controller for both the Mac and PC that is typically used for MIDI. We’ve provided you with a little overview of their famous MPC drum machines and samplers however, they’re also moving towards the digital movement - it is the year 2014.
Akai Professional has been in the lab working on new music equipment to adapt to the ever-flowing trend of digital and computer rigs.
