Additionally, MPC can refer to Music Production Controller or Music Production Center; the article is about both devices. I believe the move will be uncontroversial as the article has been barely touched for years.← Previous edit Revision as of 18:46, 12 May 2018 edit undoPopcornfud (talk | contribs)Extended confirmed users, IP block exemptions, Rollbackers71,911 edits removing decade-old low-quality talk page quotes. adding templatesTag: ReplacedNext edit →

An MPC article that doesn't contain the word "hip-hop"? Unbelievable. Especially considering all the synth articles that mention famous uses and influence. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 10:13, 11 February 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Agreed. This seriously needs to be remedied, as the MPC is an instrument of significant historical and cultural value. Just as you wouldn't have an article on the electric guitar without talking about rock and roll, any discussion of the MPC that does not include its use in hip-hop is ultimately no more than a list of technical specifications. Again, this device has had an extremely significant role in one of the world's dominant musical forms, and it is criminal oversight to neglect that. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 06:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

There are some major inacuracys with these entries for example in the 1000 mpc article it is refered to a pad fix , this was not a fix it was instead an upgrade to add new functionality. You can also smoke weed.

'''The Notes section and reference list is in the code for the article but is not appearing in the article. I have tried undoing edits in the history to get it to appear. But i can't get it to appear.'''

I cut this from the top of the article:

Could you upload it using this page and fill in the info: http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Upload
If not provide more info like your name (or just say use your username) and how you want it released. Not sure if we should just assume here...

Also a few more shots if you have the time. There is a lot of flash in that photo. If not that one will do fine.

I cleaned up the article a little. At the bottom there was some html and random characters. There is a rather negative tone in the following paragraph:

"The basis for the MPC stems from Roger Linn's early designs, yet has continued as a marketing force after his involvement. Many claim Akai have let the MPC range down by poor service attention, lack of OS updates for popularly requested features and "chasing the field" media formats (i.e. re-releasing the MPC2000XL with a CompactFlash card reader in 2004). Despite this, few sampler/sequencers are as robust; and the MPCs' features still demand respect."

Should this be rewritten or removed. At least a source, perhaps a quote from someone.

thanks,

What about some links to songs/artists using/referencing the MPC series. ] <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 20:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Ren description ==

The whole section on Ren reads like marketing text by AKAI. It differentiates between Ren & Studio by claiming Studio is a controller, but Ren is a sampler "that uses computers memory and storage". This is misleading, as they are both controllers, using the exact same software in computer. Only difference between Ren and Studio is the form factor and IO. ] <small>]</small> 05:35, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

The description for the Studio is the same way. This page should be revised for an objective, informative tone, not advertisements. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 19:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
