This is a great product especialy for those wanting to make some hip hop or techno or whatever. Everything came in the box; mpc, ac adapter, manual, quick start, cf card, and latest version (1.31).

 "Good bang for your buck" 2010-05-13
By Jay Stay Paid
This is my first mpc purchase. I've had my mpc 500 for a little over a month now and i am loving it. Truth be told, don't be fooled by its small design. It is a monster with a lot of potential IF you take the time to really read the manual and get to know it. Once you do, trimming and adding effects is a piece of cake.

First the pros: It's got a solid design and is very sturdy. It has the same sampling rate (44.1 kHz) as other mpc's in the lineup. By far the biggest advantage is that its portable. You pop in the batteries and boom. Finally, its compatible with other mpc's so moving your work from one to another is not hard at all.



The cons: the mpc 500's portable design is also its biggest weakness. If you are a beginner looking to get your first mpc, I would not recommend getting this. I got it because it was the cheapest mpc in the lineup but its small design limits its RAM. The mpc 500 only comes with 16MB of RAM (which can be upgraded to 128MB) so your sampling time is severely limited when compared to other mpc's. Second, you only get a much smaller lcd screen so when it comes to chopping samples you have to do so by numbers (and by ear) rather than seeing an actual waveform on your screen like other mpc's. My personal complaint with the mpc is that AKAI reduced the amp section to make it sleek and small but as a result you get 12dB less output in your recordings. This isn't a major problem but I find myself constantly normalizing AND applying a compressor to most my samples.



Finally, to address the issues raised by the other reviewers, the pads are a little stiff when its right out the box but there are two things to be said. 1) If you've never had an mpc before, the pads are velocity sensitive so if you tap them soft the sound comes out soft, if you strike it hard, the sound comes out louder in order to mimick a real instrument. BUT if you dont like this idea, all you have to do is press the "FULL LEVEL" button and your samples are triggered with a mere tap of the pad.





Bottom line: If you are a traveling musician who is on the road alot or if you have other mpc's and/or have extra money to burn, I would recommend getting the mpc 500. If you're looking for an mpc for your home studio the mpc 500 is not a bad deal at all but I would recommend saving up for the mpc 1000 or 2000(XL).

 "Good idea, poor execution" 2010-08-23
By Charles P (Chicago, IL)
This product was a good idea, but the execution of its construction is poor. It is responsive, does what it says, works relatively well as a controller. Problem one was the power, I actually had to send it back to alesis because there was a problem with the jack on the unit. Not a big deal. But the pads, while responsive, are a pain to adjust. The two bottom right pads on mine trigger at the same time (when you hit one, the other triggers too), and I've spent more time trying to adjust this (following the directions) than actually playing the darn thing. Even when I got it, I spent hours adjusting the other pads so they didn't trigger all at once, but those last two I can't fix. I can't even trigger them separately in order to adjust them! After having this for about two years with light use (and, to reiterate, more time adjusting it than actually playing it), I've basically given up on those two pads ever working right.

You get more than you pay for with this Alesis ControlPad. It's an excellent addition to an electronic studio or a drum set. The rubber drum pads are velocity sensitive and offer a realistic bounce. It can be used with software over USB (such as BFD lite, which is included) or it can be used with a hardware device that accepts MIDI input.

 "Quality MIDI controller" 2009-07-01
By K. Truskowski (PA)
I just recieved this controller in the mail about an hour ago and already I'm fiddling around with it making a few little beats and what not. The software that it comes with is very easy to install, so for all you people looking to buy your first controller (like I was) it didn't cause me any headaches. I simply plugged in the controller, put the disc in the cd drive and off it went installing all of the drivers and software. I'm not an expert but so far the E-MU is standing up to all of my expectations.

 "Best in class." 2008-08-10
By J. Hale
This midi controller is the best in its price range without a doubt. I compared it to the Oxygen series. Yes the Axiom may have more features, but you will pay much more for that item. This controller blows the Oxygen line out of the water. Although the keys are not advertised as being weighted, each key has a small steel weight attached to the underside to give it a weighted feel. I was very impressed. It also has 16 knobs, more than enough for controlling my favorite vsts in Fl Studio. It also works great with Reason.



My only complaint is the included softsynth. EMU doesn't say it in the marketing materials, but it is mentioned in the manual (AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT IT THINKING THAT YOU ARE GETTING AN INCLUDED SYNTH), that you have to have an EMU AUDIO CARD in order for it to work.



All in all I am giving this a five just becuase the keys and knobs feel great, and I already have enough vsts to not need the included one.

This controller is exactly what it's cracked up to be: affordable, versatile, and compact. The simple LCD feedback is surprisingly excellent, the keys, knobs, wheels all have a familiar, reliable feel. I simply plugged it into the usb, it got power, xp recognized it as a midi audio something or other, and I was immediately sending midi signals to Live.



Cons: One knob only registers ~100 degrees (not the full 270 or whatever). Not a big deal.



Also, the included VST instrument software isn't working with Live right now, and the error message + help documentation is weak.



Overall, I look forward to exploring what I can do with this. It's small size and power-via-usb is a huge plus for mobility!

I mainly purchased this to go with my Creative Audigy ZS, that has a broken headphone monitor. The thing about this box is, you can hear all your inputs in real time, with minimum latency, well, a little from the optical. I use the optical out to go from the E-MU to the Creative Audigy, with guitars and mics. It's pretty straightforward, a little overpriced, and the unit will warm up.

I haven't tried out the last feature, but so far everything works well. I already have a USB microphone, so I don't know if I will be using the microphone inputs with phantom power. The drivers loaded without a hitch. It has a solid enough feel and pleasant styling for something that sits on my desktop.

 "Easy to setup and sound seems to be v.good (5 stars)" 2009-05-23
By Frank (CA, United States)
May 22, 2009

Preliminary review:

Just installed the drivers. The installer hangs at the very end, being an IT guy I figured that the drivers got installed properly. Rebooted the machine and started playing my wav files. I am using HD595 to judge the quality of the output. I'd recommend this to all who are looking for a low budget box with high quality converters.



The knobs on the box could be better. Wonder why EMU didn't bother to spend extra bit on that and I am sure customers wouldn't have minded paying bit more.



I am yet to do recording. I was in a hurry to write this preliminary review. Will post further updates after using the box for more time.

If the recording quality turns out to be v.good I might bump the rating to 5 stars.





June 09, 2009

Final review:

Tried recording as well with Shure SM58 mic. Overall performance of the EMU 0404 USB is as follows:

- Recording is crystal clear. Excellent frequency response. Use professional studio headphones to feel the quality. I am currently using Senn. HD595

- No latency could be felt. I guess it's close to zero.

- No issues with drivers. None! I am running this on WinXP. If you're using Vista, don't trust anything. Better switch to Mac OS if you don't have an option to switch back to XP.

- Installation of drivers is a breeze.

- Box seems to be made up of plastic/poly* materials but it's sturdy, not heavy metal though.

- Knobs could be of better quality as mentioned earlier.

- The range offered by the knobs is not great. It's not smooth/wide-range when it comes to setting levels. It's bit more sensitive than one would like. But overall, not an issue for a home/small studio.

- Like input (recording), output (playback) is also crystal clear. Fully supports 32-bit. I really think EMU has used very high quality ADC and DAC chips and very high quality of pre-amp circuitry.

- This product truly deserves 5 stars. In this price range, it's hard to find this kinda box with much quality. Thanks EMU!!



While I edit my review, I am not able to change the number of stars from 4 to 5. Consider my rating for this product as 5 stars!!

 "Need some screaming intensity? Or trippy effects?" 2009-07-01
By TMC (Los Angeles, CA)
If you've ever tried one of these, then you really don't need to hear what I have to say, but just in case...



This pedal rocks! The tracking is great, and if you're 'that type' (the twisted type) playing two or more notes will cause it to break up in a very cool way. The footswitch adds another dimension to the pedal-- like a breaker or kill switch, so you can use the effect rhythmically!!



Like most people, I don't use the harmonizer all that often, but you gotta admit, playing lines in harmonized major 3rds is pretty cool.



If you're looking to add some new weaponry to your sonic arsenal, get this. I use mine in all kinds of music-- funk, rock, blues, avant-jazz... it's one of the handful of pedals that is always in my pedal chain.

 "Whammy" 2008-01-16
By Kevin Mckillion (chico ca usa)
wow, i really love this pedal, i use it a lot, i use about 8 pedals and i must say this is truly amazing, i know it costs 200 dollars, but if you want to turn your guitar into a bass or get some crazy buckethead solos, this pedal is perfect, it has its own power suply and is pretty much industructable, the harmony settings are honnestly not that great but the whammy settings are great and i use the detune setting as my chorus more than my boss super chorus, it really can do whatever you want, next to your guitar and amp this could be your biggest investment, but if you are serious get it, you will not be disapointed. just out 200$

 "Classic Pedal, Must Have for guitarists" 2007-05-20
By Z Pappas
I rarely write reviews on anything and the only reason why I am writing this is because I feel the need to give recognition for all this pedal has brought me. I would refuse to play guitar without it, its that simple. you can pretty much create any sound you want and i would consider the whammy pedal just as important as my guitar. its easy to use, and extremely worth it, dont second guess here, put up the money trust me its worth it. Ive been playing with it for over a year now and even if all I had was $200 to my name, id still spend every last penny on this pedal.

 "A Awesome Pedal" 2004-12-20
By Daniel Carey (Tampa ,Florida USA)
This pedal kicks ass. You can turn your guitar into a Bass or a high pitched screaming meachine. The detune actually makes a great Chorus effect and sounds awesome on clean stuff. It can bend notes up to 2 Octaves higher (24 Frets). The harmony effects are cool but it is fixed so you can't do true scale harmonys. The design is pretty rugged and I havent had to reset mine yet. It's good for all styles. I'm into heavy metal and it fits my playing really well. If your in a rut try this pedal out.
