Good find.. you lied to me you got it the first day :-D :-D :-D

I said I was going to, many times, then held back, then got to thinking, I drive by Guitar Center EVERYDAY, took the exit on the way home, same GC I bought Key61 from, bought XL right then and there. I couldn’t help myself, it was calling me like a siren to a sailor.

Make sense im debating do I keep the X or sell it im sure the market is flooded right now..



That’s kinda wack since all devices run 3.X Gotta force the masses to pony up for new hardware somehow lol

My X is almost 8 years old and dont need the extra horsepower at the moment but the usb c midi and audio will definitely complete my studio.. I might have to sell my X just because it really dont hold the same value as legacy MPC's..

We all know at some point shit just becomes legacy and Earth wont stop rotating any time soon.
It IS sometimes hard to let go of things that work well for you.
1. Don’t let go and miss out some new stuff that you might really like.
2. Move on AND keep your old gear too.
3. Toss it all and move on, don’t look back.

Holding on to OG X, I”m still attached to the old q-link placement for now.
EVERYTHING ELSE tho, damn, options and features out the yang on XL.
“Preferences” even looks packed with new options.

I’m comfortably @ 2.

Hey Lamp. Long time no talk. Why do we want that unchecked ?


Cause you don’t want big bro tracking you. Or maybe you do…
