AKAI means Red
Now waiting for Bitwig integration for UF1 as well

@circuitghost - and basically everyone in the Logic Pro thread - this made me think of you.
A bit wary of what it’s worth.
But always worth a look!

It does indeed.
They’ve had a number of red products, too, and the entire software UI for the desktop MPC stuff is covered in red.
They’ve been going more red-centric for a while now.
How suitable would this be in order to record a couple synths? Been looking at a few simple but decent mixers. Not a DJ but this looks pretty sweet, isn’t crazy expensive and Im guessing quality is pretty nice. Just wondering if it’s going to be a struggle to use it as a mixer for incoming signals into my audio interface, or even replace my audio interface…
Sonicstate showed the new UHE Zebralette - it had quiete a lot of wavetable oscillator manipulation available, and wavetable export. (To be used in vital /serum) and its free. Actually awesome news!

Not too much to excite me so far. Wes audio released a new tube eq though, ngTubeEQ!

Exactly!
I know there are people out there who prefer smaller keys/keyboards but I would think the majority of keyboard players would just go with the fullsize version.
Makes me appreciate what I already have even more.

In a nutshell smaller keys are for none keyboard players.

Yeah I learned that in 1990. Akai could mean beautiful rainbow and that wouldn’t make a rainbow MPC any less ugly. The red looks horrible and cheap, like a 2007 M-audio keyboard.

I need another mono not at all, but that thing sounds so cool.
It’s a bit AIRA-like

I adore how committed they are to the grungy character, even if it’s not generally something I look for. This demo actually piqued my interest, which I didn’t expect.
it’s amazing what one oscillator sounds like. Z3 full version will be amazing. Zebralette is already amazing. i mean… wtf… so much comes from this one oscillator and those Osc FX! can’t wait.

Using this to travel is asking for problems. I swear by Pelican cases for transporting my gear.
You mean like traveling by airplane? I don’t see any suggestion of that.
