A working collector's studio.
MPCs and Yamahas are not display pieces here. They are the instruments, and every beat carries the swing, grit and character of the machine it was made on.
Why hardware
Software can copy the sound but not the feel. The timing of an MPC's swing, the response of weighted keys, the way you commit to a take on real gear: that is the difference between a beat and a record. Nothing here is off a preset pack.
Akai MPC
The heart of the swing. Sample chopping and sequencing the classic way.
Yamaha keys
Weighted keys and that Yamaha tone for chords, leads and live playing.
Outboard and synths
Drum machines and synths rounding out the sound.
