With All the components in that joint, Retail Price would have to be $3500 to make a Profit. It may get close to 100 Total Sales in the US :lol:

Let's hope that ... or not? Im am currently pondering if I should sell my X now while used market prices are still good and hope the XL will be worthwhile or keep the X and hope that the XL will suck :smoker:


I wouldn't sell yet because the market won't drop that fast for the X. It'll probably stay where it's at now for at least a few months after the release of an XL. I don't see a lot of X owners thinking they're gonna want to buy an XL in advance yet. and looking to sell their X to decrease the overall market value. I wouldn't sell anything until an actual product is released to determine if the XL is significant enough to upgrade for me personally, and by already having the X. I don't see any reason yet to upgrade because i haven't seen anything significant yet, as the extra memory is nothing for me personally. I'm waiting for OS 3.0 which I already know i'm gonna love, because anything given extra and new, is always better than the old. I see myself possibly upgrading someday if the whole new eco-sphere becomes more than just a memory upgrade.

It's already been replaced with a new version :)

I do sort of regret doing this fantasy mockup because now I really want that MPC :)
Anything Akai do now will never come close to my dream vision ;(
Maybe Andy Mack will see this and send it off to the Design department for future release with built in M1 processor, 128GB RAM, 4TB HDD, 4 HDMI outs for external monitors showing racks of plugins......is it time to wake up yet :) :)

:lol:
The q-links should be below the screens like on the force. Like 8 per screen. And it should have 8x8 pad grid and then 16 faders somewhere. Also let's give it the size of a Behringer X32.
This would be the killer.... not only for your wallet. The MPC Brute :lol:

And make the I/o accessible over usb while standalone.

Though I'd rather the q links stayed to the left. Reaching over the pads would get tedious.
