MPC Drum Samples

In the late 1980s, producers and musicians began turning more and more to drum machines such as the MPC Drum samples machine in order to create beats and loops without using a full band. More importantly, however, these machines served the needs of a changing musical style where the beats themselves — no longer the thankless work of a drummer sitting at the back of a stage — would begin to work more intimately alongside the vocals, and even shine on their own. At the same time, hip-hop musicians such as Dj Premier, Arrab Muzik, RZA, PETE ROCK and more also began making wider use of sampler machines, which allowed them to take pieces of music from an external source and incorporate it into their own tracks. Machines that combined these two functions (often called groove boxes) were often difficult to use and required a more nuanced technical knowledge in music production.

These expensive machines, such as the popular ones from E-mu Systems, which in the mid-’80s could cost as much as $15,000, were among a young producer’s only options — until Roger Linn, the designer of the original MPC, created the MPC60.

MPC Drum Samples

The original MPC, the MPC-60, was a collaboration between the Japanese company Akai and the American engineer Roger Linn. Linn had designed the successful LM-1 and LinnDrum, two of the earliest drum machines to use samples (prerecorded sounds). His company Linn Electronics had closed following the failure of the Linn 9000, a drum machine and sampler. According to Linn, his collaboration with Akai “was a good fit because Akai needed a creative designer with ideas and I didn’t want to do sales, marketing, finance or manufacturing, all of which Akai was very good at.

Retailing at $5,000, the MPC60 was a drum machine and sampler that also integrated editing functions. Gone were the switches and small, hard industry-standard buttons of 1980s drum machines and studio mixing boards. Instead, the MPC Drum samples featured 16 large rubber pads that could be pressed and hit to make sounds, as though the machine itself were an instrument with keys. It could be used to compose full tracks. It came with floppy disks preloaded with a variety of sounds and instruments; and unlike many other available products, the pads were pressure-sensitive and could produce different sounds based on how hard they were pressed.

Most importantly it wasn’t an enormous, a stationed mixing panel with as many buttons as a jet fighter cockpit. The MPC didn’t need a studio to be operated, but instead plugged into a sound system in a basement home studio. Its only real match was the E-mu SP1200, which had neither the pads nor the approachability of the MPC drum machine.
