Akai MPC60 Manual 3 Software version 2.0 Operator's Manual By Roger Linn Copyright 1987, 1988, 1989 Akai Electric Co., LTD. Document revision date: April 20, 1989 4 READ THIS BEFORE YOU START! Power requirements Power requirements for electrical equipment differ from area to area. The operating voltage of this machine is preset at the factory according to its intended destination. However, some models are equipped with a voltage selector. If your machine is so equipped, before connecting, check to see that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel is set to the voltage for your area. If not, please set it correctly before plugging in the power cord: 220V, 50 Hz for Europe except UK. 240V, 50 Hz for UK and Australia. 120V, 60 Hz for U.S.A. and Canada. If the VOLTAGE SELECTOR on your machine looks like this: If the VOLTAGE SELECTOR on your MPC60 looks like the diagram on the right, please disconnect the power cord, then set the switch to the correct voltage for your area, using a flat screwdriver. What you should know to protect yourself and the Akai MPC60: Watch out! You might get an electric shock. • Never touch the power plug with wet hands. • Always pull out the power plug by the plug and never the cord. • Only let a qualified professional repair or reassemble the Akai MPC60. An unauthorized person might touch the internal parts and receive a serious electric shock. • Never allow a child to put anything, especially metal, into the Akai MPC60. Let's protect the Akai MPC60 too. • Use only a household AC power source. Never use a DC power source. • If water is spilled on the Akai MPC60, disconnect the power and call your dealer. • Make sure that the Akai MPC60 is well ventilated and away from direct sunlight. • To avoid damage to the internal circuits and the external surface, keep away from heat (stoves, etc.) 5 • Avoid using spray type insecticide near the Akai MPC60. It can damage the finish and might ignite suddenly. • To avoid damaging the finish, never use denaturated alcohol, paint thinner or other similar chemicals to clean the Akai MPC60. • Place the Akai MPC60 on a flat and solid surface.

Acknowledgements It is with the utmost gratitude that I thank my brother, the anthropologist Ruy Blanes for his unwavering support, sympathetic guidance and most of all, his humor. His knowledge was a lifeline, for I could always count on his informed opinion, but his greatest aid was in letting me make my own mistakes, and then hinting at various ways to resolve them. It showed me that he was convinced that I was capable of finding my way out of the dead ends, and would overcome the trials and tribulations of writing a thesis. Thank you for believing in me, my brother. To my dear advisor, professor João Soeiro de Carvalho, I have nothing but words of gratitude. You showed unbridled gusto in my research and helped me trod along with unending patience, aware of my limitations in time, experience and knowledge. It was with great delight that I experienced our joint (ad)venture, and I am indebted to you for your kindness, your wisdom and your empathy.

  • A Study of Digital Samplers in Two Eras
    On The Significance of Interface Design A Study of Digital Samplers In Two Eras A thesis submitted by Bjørnar Ersland Sandvik In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master’s degree in Musicology Department of Musicology Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo November, 2016 Adviser: Ragnhild Brøvig-Hanssen II Acknowledgments The process of completing this thesis would not have been possible without the help and support of a number of people. First of all, I wish to thank my supervisor, Ragnhild Brøvig- Hanssen, for taking a genuine interest in my work, and being so generous with her time, guidance, and support. Her contribution has been absolutely invaluable, and I have appreciated our conversations, her detailed and constructive comments on all of my drafts, and her general encouragement throughout the process. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to present a draft of this thesis at the 10th Art of Record Production conference at Drexel University, Philadelphia in November 2015. I would like to thank the organizers of the conference, as well as the other participants for valuable feedback, inspiring paper presentations, and interesting conversations. A special thanks go to my co-student Emil Kraugerud, for being such a great travelling companion, and also to Associate Professor Hans T. Zeiner-Henriksen for joining us on a memorably day of sightseeing in New York. In addition, I want to thank the rest of my co-students for interesting conversations, important lunch breaks, and not least our short-lived but magnificent weekly ritual of celebrating “kakefredag” (cake Friday) at the university.

Included is an examination of literature and creative work focused on the Golden Age of Hip-Hop that explores early sampling processes and techniques. Through original compositions and an exegesis, the study provides unique and significant contributions to the field including the identification of four approaches to the design and construction of sample-based composition and associated techniques for achieving them using contemporary music technologies. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop is presented as a historical period of musical significance, not only for defining new genres and sub genres of music, but because of the influencing factors that emerging technologies had on new compositional processes and outcomes.

From The Ground Up: Cultural and Musical Implications of Live­Instrumental Hip­Hop A thesis submitted by Jonah Ullman In fulfillment of the requirements for College Honors UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT College of Arts and Sciences May, 2016 ADVISER: Alex Stewart ii ABSTRACT Traditional live instruments have played an important role in hip­hop production in various capacities since the earliest stages of the genre’s development. The dominant historical narrative often omits the frequency with which live instruments have been used in hip­hop. The authenticity of their use has been a point of contention in the discourse of hip­hop producers, consumers, critics and scholars. When used in accordance with hip­hop’s aesthetic sensibilities, however, they become a vehicle for innovative and authentic hip­hop. Tasteful use of live instruments opens up a range of possibilities in the realms of arrangement techniques and compositional freedom.
