Well now,thatās very interesting!
Now waiting for reviewsā¦
I just noticed something that looked a bit concerning to me regarding the X, the screen looks a bit shaky. Doesnāt appear to stay firmly in place. Iām no expert at it, but it makes me a little bit timid to see it moving while heās playing it.
It could also be that the stand is not very stable

Thatās probably true, butā¦
#I donāt trust itā¦
Looks more like a stand issue to me but there will inevitably be some sort of wiggle on a screen when itās that large and hinged the way it is (IMO). The X is overkill for me I think but if I were to get hold of one Iād probably look to play it extra safe and use something to prop it up (if there isnāt a kick stand sort of thing in place already).

Iām just surprised on a 2k+ piece of music gear that it wasnāt designed to have a more sturdy holdā¦
Yeah Stand and actually the Reflection make things worst 
ā¦ itās very well attach behind. I donāt think it will be a problem on a stable desk

And how itās done you can perfectly make things better with DIYā¦
Dimensions (width x depth x height)
19.9ā x 16.7ā x 3.4ā / 50.5 x 42.4 x 8.7 cm (display flat)
19.9ā x 15.3ā x 8.4ā / 50.5 x 38.8 x 21.4 cm (display upright)
But what a beast in term of size
Weight
12.57 lbs. / 5.66 kg
5kg - thatās nothing compared to my 4000 lol

I want it
Edit: the X. The 4000 might be cool, but the X
If it turns out you CAN, in fact, plug in an interface-say a zoom H6- and record multiple channels at once, I might have to risk poverty to buy this thing. That would take care of most of my music production needs <8
Is the lfoās thing public knowledge? Sounds super.
From what I read its there but very limited destinations. Better than nothing I guess tho and hopefully they can expand dests easy enough in an update some pointā¦

Yes vis a vis LFOs Its all in the mpc 1.9 manual, they have also said that they intend to increase the destinations as time goes on.
One thing to note is that while the MPC live software does not have elektron style p-locks. It does have the ability to record automation of pretty much any parameter as part of a sequence much like NI maschine has. Which has basically the same effect as a p-lock.

Better and better. Should have thought to check for a manualā¦ 
now that I come to think of it, I think I had more fun automating with knobs on my olā electribes than P-lockingā¦ although knobs are always more fun than encoders for that use
do you know if you can edit those automations later? the same way weāve seen that you can edit velocity on the screen

Yeah p-locks arenāt the be all and end all, a lot of mileage in standard automation too, always get interesting stuff going on Volca Keys like this.

Yep, you can overwrite automation data with the q-links or edit the parameters in the sequence via the touchscreen or computer mouse if its linked vai USB.

MPC wizards, can you achieve some sort of granular synthesis on the MPC touchā¦potentially MPC Live?
