Software Compatibility
Customers generally appreciate the software compatibility of the Akai Professional MPC Studio, with some expressing that it functions flawlessly and works great as a DAW plug-in or universal MIDI controller.

Highlights
Quality
Extremely powerful, versatile, gives me the ability to be creative, fast, light and compact, looks great and i can go on and on.
The best aspect of this form factor is the portability; it's perfect for live performance (once one gets a hang of the workflow).
The software for it is pretty much junk and they make it much more confusing than it needs to be.
They just keep spinning and spinning and then they stop and its like my computer does not recognize what they are.
Price
It was the best price after shopping around overall very pleased with the item!
Affordable and comes with a ton of extras.
Adapter)) which will go for less than a $100.
You need a $50 behringer usb sampler when buying however which actually works.
Shipping
The shipping was extremely fast as promised.
It came fast and with all software.
Packaging/appearance
The hardware comes packaged with its associated software.
Competitiveness
This product has greatly increased my productivity and it cost me around 200$ less than the roland sp06 that i used before i got it.
I bought a yamaha su 20 sampler in 1995 which had filter, pitch, 12 different pads like mpc but the overdub deal with mpc was not a option.
