I really enjoyed your being very satisfied with the MPC 61. IT helped me to think I made a good discussion of buying it and getting rid of the stuff I no longer use.
Excellent video, I appreciate it, I'd probably keep using my old-school Fantom X6 as my main, but I run most everything from my ancient Mpc60 and then record through ProTools through a few racks of effects - I have a love for the old-school Aiai workflow - but this thing looks very cool 👌
I have the same issue with my X and im glad i found this video, i was gonna buy the 37 and sell my X. After this video i may or may not still go through with it because i mainly use my X as a sound module. I would have to use the akai daw as a plugin in studio one but i find it works better as a sound module.
I hate that you have to go through so much to use the keyboard as a controller I wish they had made it like the MPK261 just plug and play to any daw almost makes me want to return it I've had it about 3 weeks im coming from maschine and the workflow is easier to me personally but I always wanted an akai .I love roland I started to get that instead because I can chop in reason or maschine and roland has great sounds used to have a roland xp80 and I loved it except for the drums had no punch ....so anyway who knows im still on the fence as far as keeping it lol
