This week, we look at the effect the Akai MPC had on music production. We evaluate Roger Linn's genius in designing more user-friendly interfaces. We trace back its history to this day, with the rapid growth of the Maschine movement.

In the second portion of this podcast, we talk about possibly the most important MPC user of all times: Detroit's J Dilla. We talk about how he used the MPC, how its limitations unlocked Dilla's creative genius, and we also talk about sampling and crate-digging as an art form.
