All we need is a pic of him stretched out on a gurney with a black eye lol

Also we can't forget that someone was gonna rip Dan's chipmunk face off. It was crazy.

Speaking of Dan, he at GS taking questions again. Cocksucker.

I'd love sidechaining, but I can live without it.

How about the ability to preview a time stretch or pitch change before processing, or the option to overwrite or create new audio file when processing a sample.

I don’t expect it but I’d like more synthesis.

And in standalone, the machine remembering the zoom level when switching between samples would be great.

Pioneer could pull off a modern asr, akai needs to show its customers they are in it with the long haul, if elektron drops a new product you can expect anything launched last year will essentially be forgotten about, Roland could team with Dave rossuem and make a boutique SP.... like they say wish in one hand...
Last year was quite the year for hardware samplers, if I had to guess this year keyboards will hit hard. Especially euro crack.

**** it, I'm finally out of the new Akai game. Didn't want to make a new thread, and I know this isn't even the right place to say it, but just want to say it.

EDIT: Too much inside info…nevermind

This relates 100% to what I've been saying before: once I've got older, I've started thinking more of what companies I want to support and respect.
And with Akai, this is the final nail in the coffin.

It's been fun on this forum, but it's time for me to finally remove its bookmark (doesn't that sound funnily dramatic, ha).
I can say what I've seen others say: I love the MPC but I just hate Akai.

Time to support companies who deserve it even more.
Being an Ableton Certified Trainer, I did a "What's new in Live 10" event here on Wednesday. Ableton, knowing that, sent a whole box of merch goods via UPS so I can give it to all who attended. That's a company I've always respected. I know what way I'll be looking at and what not.
I lasted too long with the new Akai anyways. Will still be rocking my s3200XL and MPC 60 II.

It's been fun with you dudes. If anyone wants to keep in touch, please do. Google my username or look it up on Facebook.

Adios!

I'ts sad that it had to come to this Fanu.. I too left the MPC scene for years after I wasn't satisfied with my 2500. I feel like the units of 2016 and up are much better than the MPC 1000 and MPC 2500 era.. That's why I came back.. Not for the company and all the fools behind it but for the product that suits my needs.. And it can only get better from where I'm standing..

Maybe we'll see you back soon.. Take care..

That was unexpected... I was speaking more in terms of customer confidence but oh well. Good luck Fanu.

He's lurking around here again, under two different names like a punk ****.

Its like I said, once Akai gets these machines off the ground to "passable functionality" they'll be like "you bought what we showed at NAMM, no need to make it better" they were showing that attitude since these machines appeared on the market. I'm sure everyone is hitting the smiley but you still can't even send MIDI thru USB still. Akai needs their asses handed to them and Pioneer is gonna be the one to wipe the floor with them.

What I want the most is better hardware button implementation in Grid Edit. Especially stuff that eliminates touch screen activity.

For example: Shift + main encoder button press = toggle between transport and edit. This would make a bigger difference than you might think.

So, more of improving what's there. My hope is they don't bloat it. I don't really care if they don't introduce new features, so long as they improve the existing material. New features will be fore Live/X II . . .

Big chance of a facelift model of MPC-Live--same machine with nicer lid
