i would also recommend the yamaha reface as I think this is even more immediate than the korg minilogue, only downside no onboard patch storage.

it also makes a good controller but that thing can make some very big smooth and diverse sounds, surprisingly quickly.

but the X looks so awesome in that vid; its gonna be a landslide victory for akai, hence their smug nonchalant approach to release.

stylistically the x is way more compelling than the live, but i think both will sell bucketloads and become the two most popular mpcs ever.

Germany is next to the Netherlands (right where I live).

Fall in our language is: 'herfst' and in German you say: 'Herbst'.

A lot of words are very similar.. Only thing is we don't sounds like we've got a huge slime ball deep in our throat

Yeah he says May for Live, but not sure about the end. Fall, really?
Not really a good look by any means, really.
Was supposed "Q1 springtime", then there was a lot of talk about April, now May – if that dude is to be trusted.
So it's getting closer to the summer.

Why May, why not April? This is the thing with Akai. You never know. It can be 2018 for all you know, really.

Spend your cash on something that inspires you by a company you feel you can trust.

Lol, fair enough :lol:

Either way, this sucks and if it's true I'm getting a Push because I really don't have the patience to wait till fall, and I'm not interested in the Live. And what makes you think that they will release it then and not later?

F this.

Unfortunately I can confirm that... "gegen Herbst" means: "around (or approx.) in fall"

:lol:

Seriously, let me know when your scrapheap aka "MPC" x arrives so we can battle like grown men. In the meantime you can practice on your other "MPCs" and...oh I forgot, you´ve sold them all to fund the vapor-x...

:Sigh:

:lol:
