Free is always good. Seems like a great way to get people into the MPC way of working.

Hereā€™s the overview:

Iā€™ve tried to get a download link twice from their site and the email never rolls in :rage:

Edit: NVM apparently they donā€™t send it to ProtonMail and it appears in the gmail promotions folder

With me it went straight to the ā€promotions/advertisementsā€-folder. Check your spam folders. Itā€™s probably somewhere there.

Took quite a bit for me to receive the email. Problem is I donā€™t have a pc to install on. Iā€™ll dust off my old Mac air and see if itā€™s compatible.

Compared to Renoise or some other modern Daw I find the MPC software to be very Zen cause it takes time to chop samples, like thereā€™s a cpu working process for every chop, it doesnā€™t take a second like it does in Renoise so itā€™s a slow work flow but I mean that in a good way, and a little buggy, also in a good way, suddenly your plugin disappears and you canā€™t tweak the sound anymore so you have to stick with it or restart, I like to keep the mistakes and go slow, really pick my samples with care. I have a jjos background and before that the 2000xl, kinda missed the loading times when chopping samplesā€¦ work slow.

Peace.

Oh I have an extra download link. And I saved the install file.
