MPC Thread : MPC Live - MPC X - MPC One (Part 3)

I don’t want to create an other VS topic but really this month is a bit distrubing with all these great new gears.
I was close to buy a Push 3 (not the SA one) after having a love experience with the Move.
But this Live III looks very promising. I already had an MPC One. I didn’t like the sound of that machine compared to VSTs. I don’t know if the Live III offers a different experience.

Not interested by the Tonverk which is not the machine I waited from Elektron.

And the TR-1000 is way too expansive for my amateur use.

Are you just GASSING for new gear or do you have an actual usecase to fulfil? Because all of these devices are very different.

If you didn’t like the ‘sound’ of the One then you’re not going to like the Live any more - it has the same VSTs, if that’s what you’re using. Although IMO the MPC plugins are pretty excellent - I use them in Ableton all the time…

Push3 = A physical interface for Ableton
MPC Live III = Standalone, portable production
Tonverk = Multisampler and sound design tool
TR-1000 = Drum machine

There is more cross over with your Move and the MPC than the other devices you’re talking about. If you’re loving the Move then maybe just stick with that? Or is there something it doesn’t do that you’re wanting from it?
