The Akai MPC60II (Quick Start Guide & Overview)

Syntaur's Lucas Fowler steps out from behind the camera to show off the legendary Akai MPC60II MIDI Sequencer and Sampler by giving us a quick overview, then diving down into its inner workings. The MPC60 was first released in 1988, then the MK2 in 1991. Many artists have used the MPC60, from DJ Shadow, DJ Premier, Aphex Twin, Jean-Michel Jarre and even Prince.
