Why do you want it shutdown?

I would not think many only if you pre-ordered both!
Why would I return my Live pre-ordered at the lower price to buy an X at the higher price?

Live for portable use, X for the lab. Win win.

I actually pre ordered the X back in feb and was not even interested in the live until i was able to grab one. Now i cant give it up....

Portable was the draw for me too..Torn between Live & X initially, but when I looked around my lab, I realised I hadn't got space for the X, what with the 2500 & Maschine Studio rubbing shoulders!
Really liked the form factor of the Live, the portability & feature set were more than enough for me, plus the fact I got it at the original price...good all round!!

I was going to get the X first, then I started thinking, its to big I love compact stuff and the Live is powerful. Works on battery, and the 2.0 software is working great for me. But I started thinking later I might get the X and have the Live. My thoughts of not buying another Drum machine for a long long while, so If I have the two I will be straight for the next 20 years! The pads, the swing the MPC gives me is unbeatable and that's for me of course!

I didn't preorder nothing, I got it from MF and I have been gone ever since. knocking out projects quicker and faster than dealing with trying to do it on a computer. MPC has this invisible magic to it that makes my juices to make music flow.

Keep both!, I have a custom built 1000,a renaissance and now the X, I'm so used to doing my ideas on phone apps (shout out to Caustic 3) I can't really justify a live.......... But I still want one tho

I aint returning shit, used to he about large RAM of massive sample time, a decent sequencer and a deep sampler, now its about bigger screens and fancy cosmetics. The Live is ugly for a reason, to get blowjobs and free cab rides.

That is a funny comment coming from someone based in New Zealand.


Anyway, I did purchase the MPC-X, if it works well ill keep it. And might think about purchasing the Live as well for the portable comfortably.

What about returning the MPC Live and instead getting the new Elektron Analog Rhythm MK2--now thats a thought!

How's about returning your Tesla model 3 for a brand new 2018 chevy volt....? (I just find excuses to use the smoking emoji.. )

Really is it a thought?
So Im suppose to leave my Live for this?




It doesn't have a battery so it can be portable. No touch screen! Only 1 gig ram while the Live/X has 2gig ram. X has 8 CV/Gate that only has 2 .

Is that a half ass transport l see and they want 1,549 for this?

It has "Over Bridge" basic and Premium. Basic is not full fledged but premium is and can integrate with a DAW. But cost $99. That's not free but 2.0 is. The only thing l like about is the aluminum casing and pads! It does look better than the Digitakt.
It may not have that MPC feel and squencer swing l love. I like having one machine and mastering it. And being l can tote that Live around that is great for me.

Here's the kick in thr arse! USD it cost $1,549, dam like they gotta dome how get that extra 59 dollars! I got my Live for $959 dollars and l doubt highly that thing does what the Live or X does internally.

Nah I'll keep my Live.

Rytm is an analog (drum) synth for starters with a very genuine step-based workflow…best not to compare

Well dam what a hefty price it is for starters lol shesh.

AR MK2 has the advantage of 8 real analog filters and parameter locks ----potentially making the AR MK2 a classic sampling drum machine following the footsteps of SP-1200
what more could you want? Id rate the AR Mk2 as the better buy over MPC-Live.
(You get a similar discount 10-15% of MAP price on AR MK2 as users here got for MPC-Live., so the change over figure is minimal )
