Review: The ultimate drum machine - A must have for any level producer. I mainly use this to make hip hop beats but can range to other genres. Almost new (minus the dirt mark on the knob but no biggie) downloaded a few packages from Akai’s website and plugged it in my 2011 MacBook Pro. Works as described.
Review: Excellent Tool - It is a beautiful tool but I think it's a bit Advanced for me I was looking for a drum machine / sampler but this is a step beyond that and should really be good for advanced users

A: Yes...but it has to be downloaded from the akai site.All instructions in the box & they will walk U through the install  if U have problems.

A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! MPC is not compatible with Chrome OS. This product and the supplied software is designed to operate over Windows and Mac OS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Tool
*by A***8 on October 13, 2019*

It is a beautiful tool but I think it's a bit Advanced for me I was looking for a drum machine / sampler but this is a step beyond that and should really be good for advanced users

### ⭐ Not everything I expected
*by A***E on January 13, 2017*

I was really excited to get my MPC Studio a month ago, however I haven't been able to use it yet. For anyone who hasn't used this before, the MPC isn't a product that you can just unbox and start using right away if you're an amateur music producer like me. First of all, there's a ton of software to download to your computer before you can start using the device. There are about 4 large size files that contain the software and drum beats, etc., that you have to download first. For some reason, my computer will not download the entirety of the files. It'll make it through about 70 percent of the downloads and then error out. I figured maybe it's my computer that is not fully capable of handling the MPC files. Needless to say, if you can't download all the functionality for the device, you basically can't use it. So it's been sitting on my shelf here since Christmas until I can figure out what to do, maybe I can hit some message boards to find out how to troubleshoot this, but I just haven't gotten that far yet. This was just supposed to be a new hobby in my spare time but so far all I have done is read about how great this product is. I've watched YouTube videos which show me the potential of the product, but it won't be easy to do on my own. I tried contacting the help line that they provide in the box but can reach a real person and nobody has responded to an email that I also reached out to the Akai company (in Rhode Island).
