The AKAI MPC5000 music production center takes the MPC series to an
entirely new level of performance. A new synth and drum sampling
engine, 8-track streaming hard-disk recording, and an incredible
20-voice, 3-oscilllator synth (with arpeggiator) are just a few of the
great features the USB-equipped MPC5000 has to offer.
It also gives you
a new high-resolution sequencing engine, pad and track muting and
mixing, and incredible onboard effects. A built-in disk drive, large
LCD display, and an array of looping functions and samples are also
built into the MPC5000.
Powerful and versatile
The MPC5000 is the first MPC ever to include 8-track streaming hard
disk recording, a 20-voice, 3-oscillator analog synthesizer with
arpeggiator, a new sequencing engine with 960 ppq resolution, pad and
track muting and mixing, 64 continuous sample tracks. There's even a
new effects engine with four effects buses and two effects per bus.
Drum/phrase sampler, large display
You get a 64-voice drum/phrase sampler with 64MB memory ? expandable up
to 192MB. The display is twice the size of the MPC2500 and MPC1000 so
waveforms appear crystal-clear. Integrated Chop Shop 2.0 now supports
stereo chops and Patched Phrases. The MPC5000 is the first MPC to
include Random and Cycle sample playback in addition to velocity Zone
Play. A turntable preamp is also included.
In-the-box production
The MPC5000's virtual analog synth eliminates need for external analog
synth modules or buggy software based synthesizers. Its 8-track direct
to disk recorder lets you produce your whole song in the MPC and then
mix it down with the internal sequenced programs and any input thru
material. Add the optional CD/DVD drive and you can then burn an audio
or data CD or your mix. Over 650MB of premium-quality sounds from
Loopmasters are included to get you up and running with pro-quality
production in seconds
