But with the MPC, anyone could create great beats on their own. Before the MPC, if you wanted realistic drum patterns, you had to get access to a drummer – always a rare commodity. The Akai MPC liberated producers and performers from the band. The result was music that could be driven primarily by drums. While there were drum machines before it – notably the Roland TR-808 – the Akai MPC was the first that could reliably create complex, natural-sounding rhythms. The Minimoog was another, creating the entire electronic music/synth genre.Īnd then there was Akai MPC. The Les Paul electric guitar was one, ushering in the rock and roll era.
Only a few instruments have had a transformative impact on music.
