Just when you thought the MPC couldn’t have new features added to it, the kind engineering type folks over at Akai Pro have announced the release of the MPC 5000! I suppose this should be of no surprise since the 4000 model was discontinued a little while back, but I never expected them to add an virtual analog synth, 8 track direct to disk recording, and turntable preamp. Check the video and stop by Akai’s product page for more info. Big shout to glowinthedark for the heads up!
