Akai, a Japanese company, made their biggest impact with the MPC series of samplers. The MPC revolutionised hip hop, R&B, and beat-driven music. Modern Akai still make powerful MPC units that combine standalone hardware with DAW integration. They also produce popular controllers like the MPK series. If sampling and beatmaking is your world, Akai’s legacy and present-day gear are second to none.
MPC, short for Music Production Centre, refers to a range of hands-on production instruments built around sampling, sequencing and beat-making. Originally developed to bring studio-style workflows into a single unit, MPCs combine pads, sequencing, sound shaping and performance control in one focused system. If you enjoy building tracks from rhythm up, working with samples, and creating music in a tactile, intuitive way, MPC offers a powerful centrepiece for modern music production.
Sequencers are tools used to record, arrange and play back musical notes, patterns and rhythms in a structured way. Commonly found in synths, drum machines and standalone units, they allow you to build evolving sequences, loop ideas and create complete compositions step by step. If you enjoy hands-on music creation and pattern-based workflows, sequencers offer a powerful way to turn ideas into finished tracks.
Production is the process of creating, arranging, and shaping music using electronic instruments, recording tools, and software. It involves sound design, sequencing, recording, editing, and mixing to turn musical ideas into finished tracks. For example, production might involve building a beat with a drum machine, layering synth parts, refining sounds, and arranging them into a complete piece ready for release or performance.
A sequencer is a tool used to record, arrange, and play back musical events in a defined order. It allows notes, rhythms, and parameter changes to be programmed step by step or recorded in real time, creating structured patterns and loops. Sequencers are used to keep multiple instruments in sync, build evolving arrangements, and automate movement within a sound. For example, a sequencer might be used to create a repeating bass pattern while gradually changing filter or modulation values to add variation over time.
