Can you get around the MPC touch without the touch screen?

Just curious if you can, regardless if slightly inconvenienced us all the features of the software without using the touch scree? Just cause the idea of using a touch screen while producing turns me off sooooooooo much

No. Plenty of stuff behind the menus, and not so much behind the buttons, and it doesn't have the arrow keys.

I'm actually interested whether the X can be used without the touch screen as it has more buttons; locate keys and arrow keys, too.

I like making beats on my ipad and everything, but the main reasons i still use an mpc are buttons, pads, and knobs.

I've been setting up a 2nd mv8800 and no mouse or monitor on it. My first has always had mouse and monitor on it and I only occasionally hit an actual button. Just use pads and transport controls. I really like the action with no mouse and monitor though. The buttons and knobs are laid out well and all functions are fast once familiar with it. Has bern a great experience learning that someone designed it with ease of use in navigating features.

I think I will enjoy it on the X. Oh yeah, the X is a sexy beast. Must have. Bad GAS for it.

The Locate keys and arrow keys are definitely vital for me. Not a fan of the fact they are not on the Touch and the MPC Live.
