Casually comparing MPC vs. SP404mk2 to a new beatmaker

Sharing my perspective on the Akai MPC platform versus the Roland SP404mk2. I have way more experience with the MPC, but I've owned the SP404mk2 since it came out. I'm hoping this video will help people that are contemplating the two different devices with little to none to experience with either of them.
