Fully agree, it’s pretty massive for a “portable” box. Anyone into euro can probably afford a small midi-CV module if they don’t already have one. I’ve been eyeing these up lately too. Think I’ll just watch how this affects mk1 prices.
Just read the GS thread, I hope it’s not a speaker. People, in there are saying about the op-1 having one but this just isn’t an op-1. Where am I going to use the mpc outside on the speaker rather than headphones? Where am I even going to use it inside on the speaker? Certainly not in the studio. If I was sat on the sofa trying to make a beat while partner watches TV (primary use for a battery except playing live) the family is not gonna want to hear me tweaking a loop repeatedly. I just don’t get the logic. Gimmicky as hell. I would have preferred custom colours if were going with gimmicks or a keychain hole for hanging fuzzy dice
