Voit –
I use many different devices every day – Digitakt, computer with Ableton, iPhone with Garageband, classic MPC and a lot of other devices.
It is only about MPC One that I can say that it is the center of my studio, if I play with DAW-less.
Such a seemingly simple thing – midi live looping with many instruments. In Digitact, setting everything up so that it sends NOTE OFF signals well, so that nothing overlaps and that it is straightforward to go to the paths took me a lot of time. It wasn’t perfect anyway.
I took them, everything went right on the spot.
Additionally, One has a USB Host. No more fun with MIDI cables, you just connect what you can to the USB hub, and the hub to MPC and elo.
However, the touchscreen is a game-changer.
If you are considering between MPC One and other equipment (e.g. between Digitakt), think about what you want to use this equipment for.
For me to be the heart of music in the studio, if we want to move away from the computer, the equipment is perfect. If I go the other way and play with samples while creating lofi shitsongi, the MPC has no equal. For my application, Digitakt has not worked. Seemingly fewer features did not make me have what I wanted right away.
If this hardware only had a rotating screen, it would be really perfect for me.
