perhaps Inmusic thought if the One had this feature that it would hurt sales of the Live/X? so "dumbing" it down to usb 2 and lack of ableton/bluetooth/wireless/internal ssd would keep it in a level intended to compete with the 707 and similar boxes.
for me, i don't use the one in controller mode because i don't use computers for music. there are SOME people like me out there in the world who couldn't care less about the lack of features on the one. it will sell well for Inmusic.
for me I never liked connecting the live/x up to a computer to transfer files, because of that early bug where if you didn't unmount whilst in controller mode, the internal ssd would not be found and you'd have to reformat it/jump through hoops to get it back. i know that's been resolved more or less now, but im happy just popping the SD card out and into the slot on the computer to move files around/whatever i need to do on the card.
again i may be in the minority on this enthusiasts forum, but this is not the death of the One for me...
So we are at least two.
I also don't use computer and I think One it's just a downgraded Live to catch new users with its cheap price and take them out from Mc707 and the sort.
And I also think they will merge X and Live so Akai will have a cheap One entry level and a luxury Live/X for more pro users.
Which is actually a good idea, we just have to wait for Two.
What scares me is the limitation put on One, I mean they don't lose any money if they put all Live features, that's an attitude I don't like.
And I guess most people use Mpc with computers and we standaloners are a minority but they should also think we made Mpc go good when it was just at the beginning.
