Call me a cynic, but haven’t they just stuck the Live in a new old skool form factor here? Looks really nice but seems a bit cash grabby

[jottwehh]

Nick got a video

[tnussb]

Yeah, from the specs it looks like they just added a bunch of controls to the MPC Live. It’s a pity, because the hardware platform could use an upgrade (mainly CPU/RAM).

But the new price is great … its competing with the Digi line. If the pads are good this could become my drum machine (still hesitating from the Digitakt due to its mono input and playback).

[Hans_Olo]

This looks like a compelling package. I like the mix of samples and synth elements and I could well see myself failing to resist getting one at some point.

[Philippe-2000]

wow looks like a murder attempt on the Digitakt.

[Kegeratorz]

Probably a stupid question but does the One have a battery? Didn’t see any mention so I’m guessing no.

[muzka]

Only works on power I think

[djadonis206]

More like a throwback to the MPC 1000. But yes, it’s right at the price point of the Digitakt.

Funny, I traded my MPC Live for a OT MK1. Instantly wanted an MPC again, and then this popped up. Yippeee me

[Kegeratorz]

Thanks. That makes me feel better about the live purchase then. This is pretty cool at the price though.

[slicetwo]

Besides the hardware changes in terms of IO, battery, and storage, is this exactly like the Live in terms of functionality? If so, that’s pretty baller.

[anon64972012]

I see this as the stand alone Maschine we never will get.

[acidhouseforall]

Good luck with that

[muzka]

If I didn’t have a live I’d get this but also the differences are enough not to not make me wish I held off for this.

This is a good release because brings more customers in and it will be same os as live so more chances of updates and software development

[djadonis206]

Watching the video, it looks kind of big for being ‘compact’

[papertiger]

I’d love to know the dimensions.

This looks like what I wanted the MPC 1K with JJOS to be.

Hopefully MyVolts will have something compatible.

Looks like this will be much nicer to navigate than the Live because of the additional dedicated buttons.

Product description compares it more to the X than the Live

[jb]

Added CV plus way more direct buttons like on the X. Absolutely bizarre move from Akai but great for consumers imo, surprised it’s not getting a better response. It’s much too soon to expect a complete overhaul I reckon. I loved the squishy buttons on the live but coming from a 1k the clicky buttons might be a nice bit of nostalgia

@slicetwo yeah exactly like live and X, sonic state video is out

[Automageddon]

As a Live owner, those extra navigation buttons hurt me a lot.
