I actually almost got a 4000 instead of the Live. There was one here on Craigslist up in the desert for MONTHS that kept dropping. It was $500 when I was ready but I got the Live just to stay 'current', and the fact that I can use the software if I want to was a big selling point..

"Studio centerpiece", are in the first three expressions on the first page, along with a picture showing the grid editor.

Reality is that they are selling it as a *standalone* DAW looking MPC, as a studio centerpiece.

Hybrid is mentioned later and with less force.
