MPC Studio - its offically ill as fck

http://www.akaiprompc.com/mpcstudio.php

definately getting one. nuff said.

really fresh. i've been toying with the idea of the maschine mikro but the mpc studio or the mpc fly may have me hands down.

Lack of a tilt screen puts me off. The 1000 used to murder my neck! If it weren't for the ebay stand for the Maschine, I probably would be a hunchback!

Me too.

It could easily end up being a Maschine replacement for me though.

i do wish it had tilt screen, although i think i could get by without it, i did for so long with a mpc 500, and also brieftly with my 1k, but i have learned to love it on my 2500.

but this one will enable me to make beats sitting on my couch without my legs falling asleep cause of the weight.

Seems more like Akai's engineering shortcoming considering the APC40 also has to be plugged into an outlet while Novation Launchpad can be usb bus powered much like these new MPCs needing AC adapters while Maschine is usb bus powered.

or the apc40 requires more than 5 volts?

It's looking really great. Please let the price be right AKAI.

The 1k doesn't need a tilt screen..not when I can tilt the whole unit and rest it on my lap.

yeah, i had an apc20 and it had either a 9v or 12v adaptor.

This new controller looks nice. I can fit it perfectly under the Axiom 49 since i put the MoPads under it and the 1000. Then I can just slide it from right under and start bangin' away. I really hope this whole line of hybrids maintain a long life, as Maschine has been growing strong for 3 years. Akai definitely put themselves in a situation where they really have no choice but to stay on top of this for a long time to come. We're in for a lot of interesting things in the software market this year from what's been popping up so far. But this is definitely getting more of my attention at the moment.

I think everybody would have had the same response to The Ren if the build up wasn't so big, and AKAI didn't claim they were about to change the way music was created forever.

Yeah, usb powered would have been nice.

alot of things that are bus powered also have a separate wall plug in spot.

there is no reason why this thing should not be usb powered


im seeing this as an evolution of the mpc500 and a competitor for the maschine micro more then the maschine itself.
