Introducing the MPC Renaissance

* I'm really digging the renaissance looking at the video looks pretty sweet, it looks like the 2500 model,but its only a interface (midi controller). Look at the specs, I have a MPC 4000 its big and bulky not really made to lug around to and from various studios,this looks like you can throw it in backpack and still have room for you macbook or laptop. I think the people at AKAI built this type of MPC to go toe to toe with Native Instrument Maschine, I gotta say AKAI proved why they have been epitome of perfecting drum machines for over 25 years with this gem, it was was the talk on twitter tonite  DJ Evil Dee twitted saying he was going to cop one for the the new Blackmoon project.
