Roger Linn Demonstrates How To Use AKAI MPC As ‘The Ultimate Looper’
In this video, composer and electronic instrument design pioneer Roger Linn demonstrates how he uses the AKAI MPC as ‘the ultimate looper’.
Linn worked with Akai to create and release the original MPC60 in 1988. After collaborating with Linn on the classic MPC line, though, Akai went through changes in management, stopped paying royalties to Linn, and let the MPC line decline, leaving Linn a critic of the company and their practices.
More recently, though, AKAI reached out to Linn and not only smoothed things over, but turned him into a fan of the Akai MPC Live 2. It’s a surprising turn of events, so kudos to both of them for working things out.
And how cool is it to have the original designer of the MPC demonstrating – nearly 40 years later – how he’s using one of the latest MPC designs?
