It used to be that the only way to get yourself a Louis Vuitton custom MPC was a trip to see Forat. But now MPCStuff.com have a full range of DIY die-cut vinyl 'skins'. They cost around $42, or for $70, they'll print a custom skin with your own image. One cool thing is that they come with labels to match the unofficial 'JJ' operating system - because it totally changes the way the MPC works, the labels printed on the box no longer make much sense. In other JJ news, the mysterious programmer has reported that the OS memory space is now full - so discussions have changed from 'we want this new feature' to 'what shall we chuck out to make way for new features?'.

WHY NOT SPEND THE MONEY ON SOME DAMN RECORDS TO SAMPLE
ReplyDeleteGEEEZ....KIDS THESE DAYS
this is perfect for MPC owners .. right up their alley
ReplyDeletevery fitting too
If the 1K's OS memory is full maybe JJ could just get to work on the mpc500?
ReplyDeleteoh by the way do you still mess with bhaji loops on the pda? I feel like an ADHD patient trying to make songs on the 500 commuting.
Customization looks fun...... nice to see the mpc news coming (though I probably will get some kind of trigger finger down the road and keep dreaming about Elektron dropping a sampler workstation)
I want mine to look like an Oscar Meyer hotdog. Red side panels and yellow faceplate. :) Or better yet, collage it with every producer I respect.
ReplyDeleteJapan's rising Sun would be fitting, since I love the JJ os.
ReplyDeleteDo you hear that sound?
ReplyDeleteIt's the sound of AKAI dropping the ball again!!
Why is it that Hip-Hop always chooses shitty companies with horrible customer service to be loyal to?
(Nike, McD, Akai, Cadillac)
"Why is it that Hip-Hop always chooses shitty companies with horrible customer service to be loyal to?"
ReplyDeleteBecause those shitty companies decided to throw their marketing dollars at that particular demographics.
