The B-Boy Tech Report is the intersection where hip-hop and technology meets. The goal is to create an informative and entertaining blog space with a viewpoint slanted towards hip-hop culture for a niche market of electronic musicians / beat makers, related technology enthusiasts and of course those of us who enjoy hip-hop music. The blog features product reviews, artist / musician / inventor / product manager interviews, beat-making tips, tech articles & gear news.

Hi dear Brother <3 I still love the MPC Ren have the feel of a MPC 3000 with it's looks, the only thing is that, AKAI abandoned us Ren & Studio users by not keep updating the driver for ASIO the latest is from 2014. So the only way to use the MPC Ren/Studio is to use a external soundcard and the ASIO4ALL driver, and all the functions of the internal soundcard does not work at all therefore, I tried to talk to InMusic Akai via E-mail, but they don't respond. =( The days of AKAI in the future vill only be to buy new, it seems today people still sitting woth their old MPC 60 & 3000, but to use the Ren & also MPC X in the future seem to be doomed to a early death. Thanks a ton Brother <3 for your beautiful soul and presence <3 Cheers
I've had it for two years and I still can't make friends with it at all
Great explanation, thanks!
The ASR 10. I have two. Both dont work. Those old boards are great ut nobody to fix them.
you'll have to fix them yourself. Thats what I did.
I'm currently using Yamaha HS5 studio monitors and JBL LSR310s. I'd like to add two more active speakers to create a 4.1 surround sound system. How can I connect the additional speakers?
mmman in two years they managed to satisfy almost all those early requests and more. not usual for big companies nowadays...
I think this popped up in my feed because I keep watching the Morpheus VHS guide with Marco LOL. kzread.info/dash/bejne/po2kk9tveq65n9I.html
that set up is paradise.
Great review. I may have to grab one of these.
grausam das zu hören.
4ms just released these two again?
Just bought a pair for 120. No need for the sub, I'm broke and don't care. Why shouldn't anyone trust this bloke?
if akai had put 4 mono socket instead of requiring the buyer to cough up for $60 in adapters, that would have been nice. same goes for the Elektron Analog 4 Mk1.
I wish that moog would make a special edition moog one modular. Taking 8 or the full 16 voices from a moog one and putting it inside a large modular cabinet in 5u format.
When it's recording do the reverb and delay get recorded as used?
They need to be tip-ring splitters and NOT left-right. Also, (side note), if you have volcas and in particular, the "modular" one, you can just use a stereo 1/8 inch standard cable which will transmit both pitch and gate info to the volca's singular jack socket.
I’m thinking about getting both the grandmother and the matriarch. If I sample them and flip them, add some bass and drums, would that be considered Modbap?
Flippin awesome crunchy sounds bro
Nigga we know that ! Akai been doing this with the MPC 60 from since back in the day with the 8 audio outs on the to make them 16 outs even though i know the CV is for something else and not audio. Damn son, you got my mouth all ready for a delicious Italian dinner and here you come with a can of Vienna sausages. Done clicked on your video for no reason. I want my 3 minutes back yo.....😊
Thanx for the video. Now i've learned that i don't need to learn to use that shit and have no use for it anyway.
THIS SYNTHESIZER IS NOT FOR PRESET PRODUCERS
says who? there is absolutely nothing wrong with using presets to produce. sound design isn't for everyone, and that's no reason for anyone to avoid a unique synth like this one just because they aren't into sound design and deep synthesis.
Highly illogical move by Akai to use trs output 1 & 5 instead of 1 & 2. Had they done the latter these labels would not be necessary...
I think that makes since of you are always and by default going to have these types of splitters attached. They are done this way because it’s assumed that splitters may not be used and therefore the outputs without the splitters are simply 1234. If it was done as you suggest then without splitters the outputs would be 1357
@@Bboytechreport My guess this is done to save space, just as we're seeing an increase in the jack MIDI connectors. Your assumption may be correct, but I find it weird to add something and as a producer assume users will usually settle for just the 4 outputs. If I do decide to get me an MPC, I'll just have to accept it...
Bidenomics made this go from $299 to $399 after nearly a decade?!?!? Wake up
How does this device hold up in todays market? At $1100 new it is a bit expensive imo, even though I like the layout very much
💀💀💀 doodbro 💀💀💀 👍
Cool stuff. Reminds me of music people dance popping to.
Dope
Six in runs through the effects bud?
ok
Great review! Thinking about adding the HS8S to my setup 🔥
Comparing to the MPC is missing the point. DJs aren't producers - they don't need the depth of an MPC. Producers are obsessive over detail and want everything, so the MPC is ideal, but at the cost of simplicity. The Pioneer Toraiz S-16 is a lovely compromise between what makes the core MPC experience so good and the simplicity of the Roland TR-808 and 909 sequencing. And it sounds so much better than modern MPCs.
thanks for watching
