DIVINCI TALKS MPC5000
Writer/Producer/MPCeeJay/MPCist DiViNCi has been referred to as the Jimi Hendrix of the MPC. With a rep like that, who better to give a sneak peek at the all-new MPC5000? Akai Professional brought the MPC5000 to DiViNCi so he could bang some beats out of it.
DiViNCi recently performed a drum solo and his own version of the National Anthem (Jimi Hendrix style) on his three MPCs at the 2008 Plug Independent Music Awards show in New York. He is currently hard at work finishing up a new record called "No More Heroes" by his group, Solillaquists of Sound, which is scheduled be released this year.
"When I sit down in front of the 5000, I feel like I'm working with something that has history. It has features that go beyond what you would expect from an MPC, but still manages to encapsulate the vibe of all the models before it. Not only has the feature list been expanded to enhance use in the studio and on stage, but a good amount of the things that have made previous models special are reintroduced in the 5000."
