Large Professor

NF: What are you using in the studio these days? LP: I’m rocking the MPC 1000 and the Micro Korg. I like those pieces. Coming from the early clunky drum machine days these are blessings for me because they can damn near fit in your pocket. I like rocking with those and a few modules. I still keep my stuff sample-based so the 1000 is my choice.

From 2008 and it is still in his studio as of 2015.

Large Professor's Ensoniq ASR-X Pro features in this footage of his studio from 2015.

Large Professor is seen using the E-mu SP-1200 in the provided image, highlighting his connection with this classic production tool.

Mentioned by fellow producer/rapper Q-Tip in his April 19, 2009 Moovmnt interview.

The one thing that always told me something was a Q-Tip production were the drums. What kind of equipment did you use?

The SP(1200) for drums and for the loops the (AKAI S)950. That’s something that Large Professor put me onto (the AKAI S950). I just liked the snap of it. For me… I was always into the big drums with the tin like smack of it
