Akai MPC Renaissance

Right on, I've Been waiting 9 months for an MPC Renaissance. Its finally available so I just ordered it. Here is an excellent introduction video on it. Looks like they kept it pretty close to the classic design and added great new features. My MPC 60 died so this is like heaven again.

Check it out!

recording tricks of 1980's, MPC 60 sync fireface 800 to DAW vocals and guitar

Man do I need help here. I've tried to get used to using keyboards for creating drum track and I can't stand how slow and lame it is. I have excellent sounds, but the whole keyboard midi drum creation sucks to me. I am by no means a novice at programming. I earned a serious living in the 80's programming drums using Linn and MPC 60's.

Akai MPC5000 question

I'm upgrading my studio this year. Finally its time to put my old MPC60 to rest, LCD screen and pads are worn out.

I started out using Roger Linn's LM 1 back in the 80's, them moved to Akai's MPC60. Love it to death.
Their new beast, the MPC5000 looks awesome. Has anyone used this yet? Has anyone seen it in production or at show?
