Used to obsess over the Ren when it first dropped. Saved up and got one in 2018 and only then did I realize it wasn’t standalone. Four years later i got a Roland 404mk2 and understand it really well from studying Akai’s MPC2. Stopped using the standalone software after a few updates it started to crash on me, so I open the VST version in FL instead, that loses the start/stop button which was the best part tbh
I do like the start and stop button. You got it in 2018. Man I had mine since 2012 lol same one. It worked here and there. Now it’s at its peak cause it’s old school as crazy as that sounds
I need to say I was the guy who wrote the reddit post Short answear I get it It was cheap tbh The software is holly crap shit It was so shit that i learn it after 3 month because it was frustraiting The most whyyy moment was LFO sexting= chokegroup... makes no sense I only look at the screen because it makes more sense than the pc window screen I hate it that not all plugins work The plugin compatible is broken and vst3 doesnt work Korg gadget doesnt work Overall with fun plugins like grossbeat Glitch2 ott korg m1 It is little bit worth it But only with fun plugins But my thought is ... should i upgrade it to mpc software 1.9 to mpc beats free or should i buy the mpc2 software
I still use my MPC Renaissance till this day! Till this day! 💪🏾🕺🏾💥
That’s dope man it’s my favorite Mpc controller for sure
@@hypebeastdad I just got a MPC live 2 retro which I love but I still find myself going back to the Renaissance.
@@JSINATRA5580 same here. It’s just comfortable plus it not being standalone forces you to finish and bounce tracks!
@@hypebeastdad 📠!

My ren must didn’t get used besides the screen sun west in tear it works perfect
You can stay in scale on ren in pad perform
I have a ren and a X tbh the ren is the X without standalone capabilities
Ok I see I never got a x I got the lives though
@@hypebeastdad yea fam i came home and got on the ren after watchin your vid lol 🫡
You definitely understand the MPC REN because you’re right it doesn’t work all the time but when it does it’s magic.😂
My man
Blessings fam
Beautiful piece of gear!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
I need to say
I was the guy who wrote the reddit post
Short answear
I get it
It was cheap tbh
The software is holly crap shit
It was so shit that i learn it after 3 month because it was frustraiting
The most whyyy moment was LFO sexting= chokegroup... makes no sense
I only look at the screen because it makes more sense than the pc window screen
I hate it that not all plugins work
The plugin compatible is broken and vst3 doesnt work
Korg gadget doesnt work
Overall with fun plugins like grossbeat
Glitch2 ott korg m1
It is little bit worth it
But only with fun plugins
But my thought is ... should i upgrade it to mpc software 1.9 to mpc beats free or should i buy the mpc2 software
This is detailed lol. I think I read your post
