Don't forget iMPC!

TBH I don't think it matters how many MPCs models they have 'active' at any one moment in time, quality not quantity! I suppose technically the flagship 'MPC' is the 'MPC Software'. Everything else is just a bunch of software controllers.

surely the current interface look more flat and worse then v2

I agree, the proposed 2.0 interface they showed at NAMM looked nice and fresh. IMO the 1.x interface has always looked tired and dated from the day of release.

You might well be right, but I find it quite surprising if that is true.......they've discontinued the Renaissance and dropped the price on the Touch......I cant imagine why they would've done that if those products were proving lucrative...

The Element was discontinued when the Ren was.

Well, just enjoy doing my own thing, no strings attached, no hoops to jump through - I don't want to lose that independence.


at da same time it would be nice to exclusive access to the new developments thou

it looked better than the original but I think they should polish it up some more because it is still not a as slick or polished as NI.

also the waveform display could be improved with more detail
