Dont make this thread about Askia please, if the dude got the money to spend let him. No need to jump out of your chair, how is it going to affect you if your al the way in Helsinki and he is in Tokyo?

Jealousy is a b1tch.

you can get a good laptop for 8 bills, or maybe not where you are from.. but I certainly can... ok I admit my laptop was a grand but still I chose one that was a bit more then I needed. maybe you cant get any apple laptops for 8 bills, but we are talking about dope laptops... not ones for sitting in the window seat of starbucks.

Teddy Riley was talking so highly about the Miko a few months ago, not he's all the Dbeat. I bet he's still the same 'chit that he started using 20+ years ago!
It's all about the money. For the right price, anyone will big-up anything from anybody! Teddy Riley was losing his legendary studio, couldn't sell it, and it just happened to burn down. From what I understand, he owed Uncle Sam some serious money too! He'll be ready to endorse anything right about now!

hey, I would endorse that sh!t if they gave me a free one too... never mind getting payed for doing it..... the machine looks fun, and it probably has less latency then a midi-over-usb pad controller. If it was possible to get several hours of battery life built into that thing (something like 2 9cell laptop batteries at the same time or what ever) then it would be awesome. wanna know why? because then we would start seeing punk ass little rich kids lugging them around on the bus and subway!

you're right. But i think mpd18 and a used CME Bitstream 3X plus an macbook with ableton live would be better than this Open Labs MPC style beatmachine...

Stop bragging about all the shit that you can afford or are going to buy or how much shit you spent on something.

The funniest thing is that you never put your music anywhere.

I guess the point I was getting at is that while 3½" floppy drives have been around forever and are still usable in the older mpc models, I don't think an ipod dock will have the same longevity...I could be wrong.

they wont have the same longevity...

ipod docks are only for ipods. ipod is a pivate company and a standard only within apple's mp3 devices and not what so ever amongst anything made by any other companies.

look at.. was it toshiba that made the 2 meg floppy disks? and look at the smaller floppies that were only like 2-1/2 inch. those never lasted. the 2 meg floppies had more disk errors then the typical 1.44mb ones too, and it was a thing made by a private company that no other company used really...

standards are made specifically for compatability by several companies who agree apon the format. That is why they last. ATX form factor computer cases and computer main boards are a prime example. micro star international, gigabit, asus, intel, and all those companies agreed on the atx standard... just as they did with the pervious AT standard and micro atx.. etc...


I dont see creative, microsoft, sony, and them taking on the apple line in / line out / dc in plug as any type of standard.
