Splice is a game changer

Do they have MIDI packs?

That's the only way Splice would change the game for me; riffs, melodies & rhythm parts to supplement my playing/programming.

You said disk streaming is easy for ssoftware/firmware. That would ok for those that need it. I don't , l would like more ram. Some want streaming and some like ram.

Oh I don't doubt that. More RAM would be nice. I was merely demonstrating that disc streaming could be added on via a simple software/firmware update, whereas your solution would require a new MPC or for a user to perform surgery on their own MPC - which would most certainly void the warranty.

Oh I don't deny it would have been awesome to at least give us the option.

Danoc wrote:You don't have to get another MPC lm sure it can be modified to more ram. Im looking into that.
This machine can be modified its up to me to want to.

So some want streaming others want ram and other things. So theirs no WTF on the matter.

Well, let's clear something up: it was your words:

Danoc wrote:They said "we need disk streaming " l kid you not.

You literally used a "WTF" emoticon. You also stated the above in a manner that made it sound like the need for disk streaming was surprising (WTF) to you. Do you mean you were requesting more RAM in another thread, and other users retorted with a disc streaming request? If so, I understand the confusion. Clearly the suggestion doesn't apply to your request. Because you need more RAM.

l said WTF because people were writing off ram. This was last year and l don't know where you were but it kidda got ugly.

Not everyone wants disk streaming and not everyone wants more ram but some want both!

Sometimes surgery can make things better. For instance when the Protools Le interface boxes were out, you could get it modified by Black Lion and have some top notch new converters that were better than the native converters.
CharlesRandolph talked about modifying one of his machines. Sounded very interesting to say the least.
The way Akai keeps updating and people still getting glitches l may to on modding out that to trust them 100%

Sometimes modding is the only way to go or figuring out a way to lower overall RAM usage. Is it possible to disable, SPLICE or other unwanted features?

I believe they do have MIDI packs.

Then I may need to go poke around. Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with modding for sure.

I don't know if its possible to disable Splice or unwanted features. I did the regular Splice before Akai came with this, and I unsubscribed from them with ease. You would have to ask someone who has done it with Akai/Splice setup.

Yo, I didn't know you were rockin Reason 10 and Studio One 4. How are you liking Reason and Stu 4? I'm still on Studio One 3.5.6, and I love using it for Mastering. But 4 is ridiculous! Reason is my Main DAW for music making and Mixing. I freakin love that DAW.

i wonder if it's possible to piggy back the chips like they used to do with the home made ram hack on the 60 back when the legit expansion was over 500 bucks. We can assume that 4 gigs should run since the same motherboard was manufactured with that amount (not sure why akai cheaped out... oh wait, same reason they created the timbre wolf.

Reason 10.3 is pretty much 100% awesome, as far as I'm concerned. And the MPC Software runs perfect as a VST plugin inside of Reason, which lends itself great to adding on to my projects. As far as Studio One 4 goes, it's... "OK". I'll be honest - since Reason picked up VST's, I rarely fire up Studio One these days.

Yeah bro. Im still on R10.1. Ill get t 10.3 in a minute. Yeah l can't do without Reason. If they said they were dropping it l would probably just quit! I freakin love that SSL mixer in it and how its set up.
I did the MPC vst in reason but l don't like it.
In my book Studio one is dope. Its just lm so use to Reason. But l do master in it.

I make some of my dopest beats in Reason.

When l get inspired Reason is it for me. When l have a drum pattern in my head l go to the MPC live quick without turning on the computer. Export my drum to Reason then the maguc happens. Reason offers so much for so little. I love the different formats you get like, Refills, Rex files, Rack Extensions and one more l cant think of plus VSTs.
My Waves works beautiful in there. Plus all the diifert effects... Put it this way imo its better than Protools. PT has it beat by the HDX system cause it doesn't tax your PC.

i get splice but dont think i will be using it myself since im constantly sampling and have my own library.
if it tickles your dick then dope, but mine dont get hard from it personally... give me automation lanes, multi-timbral midi, vst's, or something real.

+1
people recognize lazy...
evrybody sounding the same, is what makes some music so horrible these days, and this should be a producers workstation, not a lifestyle gimmick...

but compared to the lagacy standalone MPCs, the live and x are built for instant gratification, for simpletons to use and keep the production workflow as shallow as possible, thats why they lack multimode, automation lines and stuff, old school heads miss so much...

i love/hate mine for these reasons...
