From Akai MPC to Native Instruments Maschine: A philosophical approach

I’m personally not on an anti Akai MPC agenda at this point in life. It is a fact, I love using MPCs! My favorite MPCs are the MPC2500 and the MPC4000. I love the work flow that I enjoyed with them. After using them for years, it became second nature to use them to create my tracks.
