For years, they stay struggling.

Wish they’d make the MPC line central and build around it. Would be a hell of an ecosystem.
I have hopes for this Force product, but half expect it will be something else completely unrelated to the MPC, once again missing an opportunity.

jeff lick wrote:Okay Guy's. The MPC is nearly consumer goods and once again they missed the mark. The Advance might as well be a Casio Arranger. I do not live for loops plus have a real MPC 4k,5k or something. I was wondering if you were in my position if you would trade the Akai stuff towards Krono's or something else? I think my real issue boils down to like all of you it did not do what I had hoped for. Luckily I paid very little for both and both should be nearly enough to get a Krono's or something else.
I do not buy anything consumer either. Unfortunately it looks like I just did. This stuff appeals to the masses not hardcore musicians. I play the piano and electric bass as good as the next guy. Not sure I am happy with this any longer. I wonder if Kanye uses this. That would be the proof. He mainly uses old gear.
I bet you all saw this coming!

No. Look. They are controlling each other with VIP. Not midi! AFAIK.
Glad to hear that this stuff is not thought of as toys. They are instruments.
