Remember 1996? This track was made entirely with the EMU Orbit 9090 Synthesizer (and mixed and mastered in Apple Logic X Pro).

1996

Chill beat made with the Akai MPC Studio and MPC 2.0 Software, mixed / mastered in Pro Tools.

I own a couple vintage Akai MPC's and they are amazing, but for people who are looking to break into producing with an MPC, the Akai MPC Studio is a terrific value.  First, for users of the MPC, the interface is very familiar. Second, the quality of the controller is excellent, considering that the entire package is $200. Finally, the software has really, really come a long way. 

I found it incredibly intuitive to use, probably in part because I've been using MPCs for years, but it was easy to get the hang of, and it's also got a lot less limitations than a classic hardware MPC. The fact that you have to have it hooked up to a computer to use it is not much of a downside considering the power that you get.
