Some good news for us MPC Live and X owners

What happened to the good news for us MPC Live and X owners? 2.3 has come yet there was no new Splice integration added. Does anyone have any insight into this feature that was so fervently announced by Akai yet quietly swept under the rug when 2.3 was released. So far it seems like I'm the only one who even noticed. Does anyone even care?

Well I don't really care, I use my own samples and I don't give a **** about splice but I just think it's coming soon, maybe next update and maybe they realised that before Splice integration they need to fix clip programs.
Otherwise it would be a bit weird to advertise a splice partnership in a machine where clips programs stop playing when you change track.
I am just guessing of course

It was never claimed to be in 2.3, it was just something 'coming at some point'. And to your last point, yes, it does seem that many people are a bit 'meh' about it. But I believe Akai are very excited about it.

What he said!

New synth sounds like the 3 they gave us got me excited.

Yes exactly. More then Splice I am excited also by new 3 synths and I would be even more excited if Air would develop some effects for Mpc.

Although I’m not really excited about the 3 synths, they’re way more interesting than Splice. Just another MPC feature in the list of “stuff I’ll never use”. Hope that list doesn’t continue to grow too much.

I'm on the lucky side of this one. The included synths are an appreciated substitute for the plugins I would otherwise not have for my stand alone work. And I had no need for Splice integration. Sweet!

I am a bit leery towards these kinds of operations.

The number one problem with 'partnerships' is that they don't seem to last. Eventually they become a burden rather than a benefit. I've gone through this with a number of companies, where for example hardware becomes obsolete/unusable (even though the software 'partner' clearly has the capability).

It appears cool for sales, but in the long run, in my experience, the contractual constraints indirectly impose a limited lifespan of the products, NOT because things couldn't arbitrarily be fixed, but because their agreements prevents them from doing so.

@FRISBI

Yep that's my thing having synth that are dope. Yep Air should do some up to date effects.
