these keep calling me. i even think about giving the mk2 a go since someone was kind enough to do this legwork (and its a fairly manageable size):
must. resist. another. new. project.

for everyone catching feelings… akai feels for you…
and if you get an MPC X SE here is something nice to sample with it.
I might set up a Kickstarter for a lavish coffee table book of YouTube synth channel thumbnails. 20% rebate if you review the book on YouTube with a thumbnail of you holding it. No, wait, 15%.

I wonder if on the MPC X SE they fixed the bug that prevents you from soloing over the top of a muted program with that same program… I neeeeeeeed that capability back Dan!!!
I’m only interested if you can get it published by Taschen

I looked everywhere and I can’t find the video or pdf where he was praising the Mpc x. I own almost every f9 library and it wasn’t in the pdf. I checked point blank music school, it must be on someone else’s channel somewhere.
All I can say is “trust me bro”

Speaking of rumors. Bolo said the MPC One was discontinued. True?
Looks like it. ZZounds and Amazon used to carry it all the time
A new MPC One MK2 is on its way. More ram, wifi only (no more ethernet), and it comes in the color red. MPC One MK1 is phased out/discontinued.
who is that guy at akai who keeps putting red on everything, they hiring ex supreme employees overthere or what, they doin too much

No it isn’t discontinued, nor phased out right now. There is no official info saying so. The One MKII could be released in 6 months, a years, you don’t know that.
I’m all for WIFI but getting rid of the ethernet plug is just dumb.
By the way, if you own a One MKI and a phone, you can get fully functioning WIFI on it by plugging a cellphone that supports USB WIFI tethering already, no need to rush getting the MKII when it’s out only for the WIFI.

okay finally the new portable mpc has been announced 
I love technology, I love the concept of advancing technology, and the promise of the good that can come from technological advancements… but… one thing I wish Futurist could understand is that as a musician I don’t enjoy the vision of the future that envisions or encapsulates everything about the future of music making and creation into a window wiper methodology… I don’t want to “swipe” everything when I’m trying to play an instrument and I don’t want to dress like mel gibson in mad max in uncomfortable leather and spikes from head to toe just because it’s the future, what… they don’t have any comfortable jeans in the future, what about a nice sweatsuit or two nothing like that available?.. and why do I have to buy my Chinese food from someone with a flying rickshaw, I get that Rickshaws were prevalent in society hundreds of years ago but they’ve been driving all kinds of vehicles in china since then, shouldn’t the posterchild of the future of chinese mobility be something other than a cart that you are supposed to pull by hand…you’d think that once flying cars are standard that the rickshaw handles would be unnecessary and the operator would be able to just kick back and ride, I mean it is floating in the air after all … I don’t get it.
I mean what part of minority report looked fun, tom cruise didn’t look like he was having a good time he looked like he was having a nightmare, and I would too if I had to slice up my samples like that FFS

Just wait and see man. It will be out soon, as in within the next few months soon, not years soon.
As far as being phased out discontinued…sure does seem out of stock/discontinued in most major stores…

Backorder =/= discontinued.
Last year the TR8S was in backorder for months, it’s still not discontinued.

The future of music? Nah, this looks like a clunky effort of combining several techs into a new music product: who wants to touch a dirty table without any velocity and polyphonic aftertouch? It’s also heavier than an iPad. This light field might work well in collaborative or interactive spaces (e.g. meeting rooms, schools, etc.).
