I'm not liking this new MPC touch, I think the design is ugly in my opinion but I just hope this isn't the only product that Akai will be announcing on Wednesday

Kind of looks like Intua Beatmaker w/ a dedicated controller!

If this is standalone then I'm curious about the specs. Storage? Audio Quality? Looking forward to finding out more details.

Ok I'm just being petty now, but everyone's favorite Akai "Beta-Tester" JaHrome is on the NI Forum bahsing Akai for the MPC Touch. I find it hilarious... that "COLD-SHILLING" is still around.

Truth be told I'm kinda hype to see what Akai may bring to the table. And it damn sure better not be another WhateverWolf!

I find it weird that the volume knobs are located on the back of the unit.

I think that's just a record gain knob for a mic input, just like the Roland SP series.

I wrote up the next MPC software version release notes recently. Stretches to about 4 pages for this version.
