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

  • this looks like a computer... i dont see the point for paying hardware prices for software sounds VST and stuff, when computer programs can do the same thing for free

  • @kragle2008

    Good Point but, I think you are also paying for the Quality of sound. Remember its all Digital now.

  • I love the MPC 5000. If your son likes to make beats, or record/produce music he'll understand and learn how to use it fairly easy. It's top of the line and really an amazing machine

  • One of the probs with the MPC5K gettin' dissed so much is lames like this Mike guy trying to talk about it.I have one and wouldn't trade it or sell it for any amount of paper.To me it's priceless.I hear the 4000 is better or the 2500/2000 is better.I don't care because to me it's all he say-she say.The amount of shit I can do on the MPC5K is boundless.Just have to have an imagination and a good sense of rhythm.Some soul helps too !

  • you cant beat the sound quality u get from an mpc5k not to meantion the built in hard drive, i have years worth of sounds i mine and dam the sequencer is the best and tightest ive ever used, and i have a motif xf but still it dont compare to the sequencer or sound that thing out puts. if you mix them up, build half the track on the mpc, track it to protools then get ur digital work flow going, ur onto a winner for sure. MPC5K is KING

  • can you manually set the bpm of the arpeggiator? or can you only sync in via midi?

  • @peterochs ahh okay, thanks.

  • @kragle2008\

    why is because this is a musical instrument

    playing an instrument is an audio and kinesthetic experience

    clicking a mouse is not

    if you want to express a velocity on a snare you can do it intuitively

    or by computer you can do it by clicking, down, select, open, alt+drag and then drag a graphic indicator envelope something yadda yadda

    on pads you do it by actually HITTING the sound generation device

    musical instrument vs. a computer

    that's why

    at least get a midi trigger

  • @iio58 i do not understand where you are going with this.... shh

  • @kragle2008 It's also about feeling. I'm sorry but just because you can get a piano sound on a keyboard or PC doesn't compare to playing a piano. I understand what you are saying about the digital sounds, but its the feel of the instrument, the velocity sensitive pads - the overall feel of it which you do not get with any form of software, free or not.

  • @mikal20677 i get you :-) sorry.. this was before i realized all samplers are digital lol, i thought there was a magical button device that recorded programs through analog... im not so ignorant now sorry, it is much better than computer.. computers realy piss me off and give you head ache haha.. and i really want a sampler but not this one, something from the 90s,,, any names pop up to mind mate? im really looking for them old types that made Remarc type jungle back in 94! :D - Peaz n Rice x

  • nah its just better to have you're equipment there ya know like instead of needing to go use a computer, and you can plug it into shit easily, its for people that are really dedicted i guess, otherwise yeah other people should just use a computer, they are coming more and more like computers with the onscreen display getting more detailed

  • @kragle2008

    Dudeeeeee, because its live, and you can play it straight away and easy change the effects and dont sit at your computer dragging stuff and clicking stuff, for people that are really skilled with it they'd sound better playing one of these than sitting at a computer
