They are there. They are on the floorplan and they also posted some reel today showing the booth. It was suspiciously underwhelming, with big Akai motion screens (I think, was hard to tell as it was a still image) as the backdrop, with a very long raw plywood desk with what looked like a Live II, a MPC one+, APC64 and Keys 37 spread very far out across the desk. Desk looked liked about 6-7M long. Just raw wood. Weird.

Why would they then stop selling the Live 2?

I've had my fun, stirring the pot. Maybe the new MPC is just trolling we made along the way.

Infidels will say that there is no new MPC on the tables of that booth.
But true believers can actually see it, feel it, cherish it, and make fire beats with it.
Infidels will see a Minimoog poly D, true believers will see a MPC X MKII
Infidels will see a MPC Live II black. True believers will see a MPC Live III Roger Linn Edition ™
Infidels will see a MPC key 37. True believers will see a MPC key 88
Infidels will see a MacBook. True believers will see a Akai Force laptop.
